7 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know about Goodfellas

+Baconator ohhh it started years ago, when Americans had another stupid idea, and wanted to say it was about equality or something. It started in about the 90s, maybe earlier. I like what Billy Connely says about "political correctness": I'll call a man hole a 'person hole', when a woman goes down it and gets covered in shit. It's a hole where a man goes: man hole. "Actress" was agreed to be condescending, as there were sociological gender attachments, which got in the way of........... oh I've bored myself now hehe

Goodfellas is one of those films that can be watched over and over again. I never get tired of watching it. Now, Casino is a different story. I've tried watching it two times, but something about it takes me right out of the movie.

[@53rdAndThird]

[@justin100499]

53rdAndThird heyon I thought that movie was real good. Not goodfellas or anything but it was a good flick, not a good scorsese flick because yeah I DID seem like he wanted too much to make a goodfellas 2 but it was real good

That's the exact same way I feel about Casino. Goodfellas is my favorite movie of all time though. I can watch it a million times and never get tired of it!

[@stitchgrimly6167]

It's the narration. It's always the same... "See what the feds never understood was..." and all that. Casino, The Departed and Wolf of Wall Street all suffer from it. Gangs of New York too, but that wasn't so bad. It was painful hearing Jack Nicholson do it at the start of the Departed.

jim jimjim The IRONY is that in RL Tommy got pinched BECAUSE his shoes were so shiny (after the Air France heist). But also in RL the "he used to shine shoes" ball-busting actually happened and was actually part of the reason for Billy Batts getting whacked. "Marty" ain't kidding when he says 90% of what you see on screen actually happened or actually was said. Right down to Robert "Jimmy the Gent" Deniro's character smashing the payphone receiver and crying his effin' eyes out when he realized Tommy getting made wasn't gonna happen (to put it mildly).

[@powexor]

I'm surprised you didn't mention one fact. Unless I got it wrong. I remember reading that the scene where Pesci asks Ray Liotta how he's funny is actually something that happened to Pesci when he met a real mobster.

[@danschneider7531]

That's what Pesci says but it's an old Mafia urban legend. Most of the stuff in the film is Mon legendry passed on by Hill to Scorsese who swallowed it as truth. Hill, like many gangsters, wanted to make his seedy life a bit more memorable. In this way, Goodfellas is as unrealistic as The Godfather films in portraying Mob life.

[@danschneider7531]

@@coryevans6093 I would.

[@danschneider7531]

@Mic Rophone If you want to see the most realistic depiction sof Mobsters on film, watch either Jim Jarmusch's Ghost Dog or John Cassavetes' The Killing Of A Chinese Bookie. The former is a good little film, and the latter- esp the longer version, is the best Mob film ever made. Period.

[@Tonithenightowl]

I love the wedding scene where Scorsese mom is complaining to Tommy about finding a nice girl and settling down. Too funny. That was a great "panning scene" Same with the bar scene when introducing the "boys" to the audience. The scene where they enter the nightclub from the service entrance..... pure genius. The musical score to this movie was off the charts great. He used it to brilliantly to fit the scene. This is a masterpiece.

I hope they had a sit down about this and it doesn't come as a surprise to the "Don". :o)

[@Anthony-uf3oz]

Reason Ray Liotta and his date entered through the kitchen (an excellent scene)was because The Copacabana,where this scene takes place,told Scorcese they did NOT want the front of their club on film. Scorcese had to improvise.

[@IllPropaganda]

Tommy DeSimone behaved that way, partly, because a family member of his became a snitch and he always felt he had to live that down.

[@thamostgangsta12]

That pic was Henry Hill a.k.a ray liotta in the film.

[@IllPropaganda]

+Deonta B How do you mean? Tommy was dead long before Henry flipped and they weren't blood. I believe it was one of his uncles or brothers that became a snitch and he always wanted to prove he was a "true" wiseguy.

What most people don't know: In this Movie Joe Pesci beats up and kills Frank Vincent, whose character is named Billy Batts. Joe Pesci also beats up and kills Frank Vincent in "Raging Bull", whose character is named Salvy Batts. And in "Casino" Frank Vincent gets his revenge and beats up kills Pesci in a similar brutal way...

[@V12-e8b]

I met Henry Hill at a Goodfellas screening in Mt. Pleasant, SC just outside of Charleston back in 2012. He was around 5'2 - 5'3, a lot different than his portrayal with Ray Liotta. Meanwhile Tommy DeSimone was probably around Liotta's height but was portrayed by Joe Pesci at 5'2 - 5'3". Pretty funny that I would meet Hill while living in South Carolina when I grew up in Queens. But I guess that's Witness Protection for ya :) He lived out his last days in Topanga, CA and died later that year.

Billy Batts was also in John Gotti's crew. Hill says so in the book. A lot of people believe Tommy was tortured by Gotti and his guys when killed.

[@AA-hp7fq]

The story goes Gotti is actually the one who killed Tommy. Paulie ok'd it because Tommy killed made men without an ok and the fact he was scewing with Henry Hills wife. It gets deeper rumor is Paulie was also having affair with Henry's wife... They say Gotti also got a share of the heist because the 2 families shared the territory but never turned it in instead blew all the money at the aqueduct race track... But at time of the book being written Gotti was still alive and running shit so they left all that out...

[@TheLaidbackBiker]

Absolutely true. And, Tommy got clipped in the basement of the Bergin Hunt & Fish club on 101st Ave. in Ozone Park. He was in fact tortured.

[@billyd5088]

good the fuckin cunt deserved it plus what he did 2 spider cunt was an animal

[@daniellemusella1594]

At one point early in the movie, there was a reference to one of Joe Pesci's famous friends. A woman (can't remember her name) said something like, "Who do ya think ya are?! Frankie Valli?! Some kinda big shot?!" If you've seen the play or movie version of "Jersey Boys", if you were a hard-core fan of the group, or you grew up in that same neighborhood back in the day, you know why this line is important. There's also what I believe is a deliberate "Goodfellas" callback w/in the "J.B." movie. When Joe goes to Bob Gaudio's house & tries to convince him to meet the rest of the guys, Bob gives a slight laugh & says "That's funny." Joe responds, "Funny how?"

[@TheDAExperience]

I always heard that the "Do You Think I'm Funny" scene was actually improved Liota thought he had legitimately pissed off Pesci and didn't know what was about to happen. Also later when Pauly slaps Liota he really slapped him without letting him know so Liota in the movie is actually shocked which is why he has this stunned look.

[@giovanni21mas]

“The hoof”

[@KarmicOmen]

The singer in the club portraying Bobby Vinton, was actually Bobby's son Robert. For the famous montage scene set to Derek & The Dominos’ Layla, Scorsese played the piano coda himself during the shooting of each scene, so they could get the rhythm and movement of the camera right, matching up certain bars of the song with specific shots.

[@That_AMC_Guy]

I love this movie, and I adore Scorcese as a director, but the one thing that grinds my gears about this movie is one scene. Ray Liotta is seen leaning up against the back of a '65 Chevy Impala when not two seconds earlier, we're shown the date to be 1963. I really would've thought that a glaring issue like that wouldn't have been allowed in. But, there it is.

[@RetroEjit]

I make it a priority to watch Goodfellas at least once every month it's just one of those masterpieces of cinema that you can watch 100 times and not get bored 😊 I knew all these apart from the last reference great to learn more about one of my favourite movies 😃

[@dsgvenom8dsg552]

Once every week

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

I love the narration!

[@kinggimped]

RIP Ray Liotta

Amazed no one brought up Henry Hill's apparent innocence throughout the story as told by Hill. He was the one locking the door while Batts was getting whacked, he opened the trunk then they stabbed and shot him... the only thing Hill owns up to is coke running and no one got killed doing that.

[@simonjeste]

J M Petrilak Until recently, the liar Henry Hill was saying he never killed anybody ... until he let the truth slip on Howard Stern (!) ... so it's tough to believe ANY of his biased version of events. (Glad he told his story though, Goodfellas was an incredibly engaging movie experience... and I skimmed the Wikipedia for a bunch of the RL people involved and it's even more fascinating, horrifying, sad, etc...)

[@Guillermo_Carratero]

2:58 I don't know who this guy is, but it's definitely not Tommy DeSimone, wrong picture my friend..

[@thatdrewrivers]

Bonus fact... The Steve Martin / Rick Moranis film, 'My Blue Heaven' is the sequel to Goodfellas. Goodfellas was based on the book Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi and the film ends with him going into witness protection. My Blue Heaven was written by Pileggi's wife, Nora Ephron and is about, you guessed it... A mobster in witness protection. Moving on...

I always wanted to use that line on someone! Never got around to it and probably never will.

[@alexyoungberg5232]

thats casino

[@Deepdarkbasement]

I'm my movie class we had to write an analysis of any film we wanted and this guy did Goodfellas. When we were turning in our papers we had to explain why we the picked the movies we picked and this guy... he turned it and said, "I picked Goodfellas..." some other guys in class wooed and stuff, he turned around stared at us all and then said, "because as far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster." Everyone cheered... teacher included.

[@skullface2694]

I'm always in the mood to watch Goodfellas....

[@SovereignStatesman]

Mood how? What is it ENTERAINING, does it AMUSE you?

[@jackofallvidz9418]

Ive seen this film at least 30 times... i was obsessed with Martin Scorseses work as a teenager and still am to this day. So i found this video awesome!

[@Snoogen11]

Pfft, this video didn't make me want to re-watch goodfellas... I already wanted to re-watch it. XD

[@DCFixxer]

Bad example of how Tommy was supposedly built like a "prize fighter" at exactly 3:00...he's built more like a buffet customer.

[@v2vroth]

Never Rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut.

[@nicholaspedala]

don't forget the "my blue heaven" the Steve Martin flick is the unofficial sequel to the goodfellas

[@skyblueerik]

I'm gonna rewatch Boogie Nights.

[@jukedar]

Curtis yea awesome Curtis!!!!!!!!!!

[@FreakieFan]

+Curtis fucking love that movie

[@marccolten9801]

A nice touch. In Goodfellas Joe Pesci kills Frank Vincent. In Casino Frank Vincent returns the favor.

I am ALWAYS in the mood for some meatballs in sauce.

[@hammadasif3006]

What's the music playin at 5:30?

[@artaylor8920]

Lorraine Bracco as Karen Hill in "Goodfellas": Hot! Lorraine Bracco as Dr. Jennifer Melfi in "The Sopranos": Unbelievably smoking hot!!

[@NPC13niner5]

you have to see her in dice clays new show.

[@Silly81]

Goodfellas has ties to Michael Jackson. The late Frank DiLeo who played Tuddy was Jackson's friend and manager. Not to mention Scorsese directed Jackson's Bad video and Scorsese's parents whom are both in Goodfellas had a cameo appearance in the Bad video and Joe Pesci co-starred in Jackson's film Moonwalker.

[@LakesideAmusementPro]

Fuck now I want to watch Goodfellas.

[@izzojoseph2]

The ‘Funny how’ bit was totally improvised so the look of confusion you see on Ray Liotta was genuine. He thought Pesci was grilling him because he had misread his line or something. The look or relief was also completely real, when he realized Joe was joking.

[@AdamPaul222]

That wasn't the real Tommy DeSimone!

[@bascet1]

That's what I thought. The guy shown was way too overweight for Tommy. He was a stylish guy.

[@PrinceBains023]

my all-time favorite movie.. In one word-"Perfection"

[@denniscassley9992]

The only ones I did NOT know were #5 and #7, so I guess I'm a legitimate fan of "Goodfellas"!!

[@thewolf3199]

C'mon everyone should know number 7!

[@jellybean13ct]

one of my favorites. I do feel the need to watch it again.

[@mikediamente9278]

I like how you have no problem showing graphic violence and murder in this video but feel the need to bleep out the word fuck.

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

Another fun fact is the "funny guy" scene was mainly unscripted. You can even notice the extras laughing their butts off.

[@nixgrafix506]

the scene when Jimmy choked Maury at the shop with the phone Cord and he is holding the receiver but the phone rings Karen called about the neighbor across the street, the phone rings people!!

[@gregwilmot3260]

Another fact is that the driector and three main actors are all of italian descent to add authenticity

[@zylo999]

Man I love this movie!!

[@OMGYasuke]

go home and get your fucking shine box

[@zylo999]

Steve Jobs That was rude, but awesome at the same time.

[@OMGYasuke]

Ethan Reuben You're a wiseguy now

[@koreanelvis]

Got me in the mood for meatballs and pasta. Nice facts!

[@ernestoballestero2845]

Pleas do "7 things you didn't know about The Godfather"

[@EricCartman-mx5wg]

1. That horse head was real 2. Every time an orange was shown, somebody got killed 3. The actor for Luca Brasi was actually nervous for real, because Marlon Brando was his favorite actor 4. Robert De Niro auditioned for the role of Sonny, but lost to James Caan. 5. Don Corleone might look old, but it was actually makeup. 6. Some of the cast members were related to the mafia. Like that guy that played Clemenza, who had an uncle or so, who was part of the mafia. 7. John Fontane, the singer, is based off Frank Sinatra. Maybe I got 1 or 2 things wrong. But most of it is pretty accurate.

[@ernestoballestero2845]

Thanks a lot

[@thewolf3199]

+Eric Cartman Yeah also the guy that plays Carlo (Connie's husband) actually has mob connections, I think that was what got him a role in the movie. I think from what I read.

[@EricCartman-mx5wg]

TheWolf31 I haven't heard that before actually... Dammit! I thought I had learned a lot!

[@arees1137]

+Eric Cartman the cat scene in the beginning was just a stray cat lost in the set, and marlon improvised with it

[@1805movie]

You should do 7 Facts You Probably Didn't Know About _Man On The Moon_.

[@CarlosCruz-ll5ez]

Goodfellas has to be one of the top 5 mafia movies.

[@electricleg207]

I presume you think The Godfather is number 1 but what other Mafia films do you rate?

[@CarlosCruz-ll5ez]

+electricleg my favorite mafia movies are the Godfather 1 and 2 Goodfellas Casino and Danny Brasco.

[@SovereignStatesman]

It is THE top mafia movie. Everything else glorifies and absolves scumbag-murderers as some sort of misunderstood nobility.

[@SovereignStatesman]

Casino is Goodfellas wanna-be, and I hate cheap imitations... especially with EVERYONE narrating! That's just gay.

[@danielphanover6936]

I think its the BEST and most realistic mafia movie ever made. What mafia movie can you think of that's better ?

[@antguerra8325]

loved this video! Goodfellas is still my all time favorite movie

[@GenXtasy]

Ray Liotta oldest looking 21 year old
