[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

@@califinn I remember watching that scene with a friend and having them argue adamantly that it would be quite easy to have an equal amount of blueberries in each muffin; all you had to do was make the batter as thick as possible then pour it from a height of 5-6 feet into another bowl while adding the blueberries at the top of that height.

Dick Smothers was part of a famous 1960s comedy duo with his brother, Tom (called “The Smothers Brothers”). They had a variety comedy tv show that was a huge hit for baby boomers, and led to some of the first show biz roles for people like Steve Martin, Super Dave, and Albert Brooks.

[@Shawn-mo6dh]

[@grontelp77]

Joe Pesci is doing a Chicago accent. Not very common anymore, but it’s a distant cousin of the Wisconsin and Minnesota northern accent. Pescis character is based on the life of Tony “the ant” Spilotro, an enforcer for the Chicago mafia that had deep involvement in early Vegas. The Chicago “outfit” was a separate mafia from the NY based five families and had extensive activities in Midwest, Great Plains, and Southwest.

[@steelers6titles]

Al Capone, the most well-known "Outfit" boss, wasn't officially a made guy, not being Sicilian (he was born in Brooklyn, NY, of Neapolitan origin). Unless I'm wrong. Maybe he was, anyway. Chicago organized crime was much more openly violent and public than the Mafia proper, and the old-line bosses did not care for Chicago's bloody displays.

[@ceeeemdeedees7496]

Exactly. Thanks to cable television and people going to universities out of state, accent are watered down. Chi-kay-go and other midwestern accents were stronger. Sadly, everyone wants to sound the same. Pesci’s accent was good for the guy he was.

[@spddracer]

George Carlin prays to the Sun and Joe Pesci. Because the Sun is always there, and Joe Pesci with a baseball bat is a guy that can get things done. I agree!

[@WiseGuy5674]

Nicky’s character was based on Anthony ‘The Ant’ Spilotro. Joe Pesci looks exactly like him. The scene when Nicky is walking down the courthouse stairs with his lawyer was a shot by shot reproduction of the actual event. The lawyer in the scene was the Ants actual lawyer playing himself. He went on to become mayor.😎

[@tacticalgrace6456]

Joe Pesci’s character in the Lethal Weapon franchise was a little sleazy but generally a good sort. His character was a bit abrasive in Raging Bull but not really villainous. And he’s definitely a good guy in My Cousin Vinny. So that’s at least 3 But yeah he has been mostly typecast as the ruthless gangster type but apparently the sweetest guy in real life.

[@jaybea365]

That's how it works, nice guys frequently play nasty characters, and the 'Hollywood hero' types are usually the ones who end up in career ending scandals.

For those of you who follow aging ex-gangsters on KZbin, the old hitman who shot John Nance (“Where ya goin, jagoff?”) was the late Frank Cullotta, of “Coffee with Cullotta.” He worked as a technical adviser on this movie.

[@edmundkempersdartboard173]

Pesci's character (the real life Tony Spilotro) is from Chicago so that may be why he sounds different. And he did indeed stick a guy's head in a vice.

[@pab1381]

And the guy was stuck face down in the vice. Idk how true it is cuz I’ve heard conflicting accounts but it’s been said the pen stabbing did happen but at a car wash in Oak Park a few mins from my house on Harlem.

The lawyer to Nicky Santoro was Oscar Goodman, who was the real lawyer to the actual Tony Spilotro. Afterwards, he became mayor of Las Vegas, and later opened the Mob Museum, located in downtown Las Vegas.

[@pab1381]

This is my favorite mob film. Not completely accurate but great. Chicago Outfit ran Vegas around this time. Even when some casino workers saw Pesci in makeup for the first time they got an anxiety attack since they had personal dealings with the real Tony Spilotro. Plus Frank Cullotta (Frank Vincent’s character) didn’t kill him in real life. The real Cullotta is in the movie though since it’s his story. He’s the hitman who kills Stone in parking lot and the guy in Costa Rica. The guy who says “Where you goin jagoff?”

[@Ryan-xu9zb]

The little lady you mentioned that was Paulies mom was also in Goodfellas, where they got the knife from. That is actually Scorsese's mother who makes cameos in many of his movies.

[@lisannebaumholz5028]

Hey, no dissing Dickie Smothers! He and his brother Tommy had a groundbreaking TV show "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" in the 1960s. The show was cancelled by CBS in its third season because Tom and Dick refused CBS's attempts to censor the show both in terms of content and guests. The closest current TV amalgam would be Saturday Night Live in terms of structure (skits, recurring characters, musical guests). Here's a documentary about the show: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joqUeYKQj7inoc0

[@naughty.r0bot]

A lot of historians and elder Vegas afficionados believe the Mob era was peak Vegas. The corporations had not yet Disney-fied and neutered it with family friendly attractions, and the town crackled 24/7 with the dark energies of alcohol, sex, heartbreak and incredible fortune on the roll of the dice or a lucky draw off the deck.

[@12Daze]

I would love it if you guys reacted to Gotti (1996) starring Armand Assante. A lot of the Sopranos cast is in it. In my opinion, it's the best mob movie.

[@GeneralZodFDNY77]

I second this. I grew up in and still live in Ozone Park, Queens. Gotti, despite his criminality, is still a revered figure here. The neighborhood was safe when he had the Bergin on 101st. Weird shit. But that movie was awesome. 1,000 times better than that Travolta Gotti abomination.

[@jeffrey7282000]

The Family 2013 was a fun one

Frank Vincent (Leotardo) helping beat Pesci's character was a bit of an inside joke. As Pesc'is character beat him up in Scorcese's Raging Bull and killed him in Scorcse's Goodfellas. This was like Frank's revenge in Scorcese's Casino.

[@beedubree2550]
