[@GordoFunk555]

Paulie wasn’t actually a “Boss”. He was a Capo Regime (Captain), which basically meant he was in charge of a crew. He was part of the Lucchese crime family and the Boss was a guy named Vic Amuso. But Jimmy, Henry, and Tommy were part of Paulie’s crew which meant they kicked up to him and had to listen to what he told them to do.

[@andrewreisinger6860]

Yes, that scene from the Sopranos with Christopher shooting the clerk in the foot was an homage to Goodfellas. When Christopher is leaving the pastry shop, the guy who he shot cries "you shot me in the foot". Christopher replies, "It happens!" CLASSIC!

This was definitely one of the better reactions to Goodfellas. Nicely done and pretty sure Christy would have been wacking people as fast as Jimmy after Lufthansa. 😂

Joe Pesci's character's Tommy DeVito is based on Tomas DeSimone who was around 6"3" and 220 pounds. Pesci's DeVito was more "dark" comic relief where as DeSimone was a true psychopath and scared pretty much all of the other gangsters. He disappeared when he was 28 after killing at least 7 people.

[@barbados_ririfenty8553]

No incorrect, he was born on June 6, 1946 and would have been in his early 30s when he was killed. He was reported missing by his wife who had last seen him borrowing $60 from her. Crazy right.

[@Thepitz2000]

Now ya need to watch Casino

[@beebo5100]

Fun fact: The lady who played the roll of Tommy’s mom is actually Martin Scorsese’s real mother. And Henry’s old cellmate with the big glasses that was putting too many onions in the sauce is Scorsese’s real father. One of his first films is called “Italian American” and it’s basically him interviewing his parents in their home and talking about Italian American culture in New York. A lot of funny stories. It’s a fun movie to watch. Mama Scorsese is hilarious. You can tell she was the life of the party.

[@lordflashheart3680]

IMHO this is a best mafia movie out there.

[@chefskiss6179]

Honestly don't know how no one told you/insisted you watch this BEFORE starting The Sopranos, lol, but here we are. Kinda surreal watchalong with ya catching all the cast. Bravo! You should try Brando in 1990's The Freshman. A sorta meta light-comedy flick, if ya want something to sit back to and enjoy, and not have to work on posting.

That opening scene was the perfect choice to open this film. When Tommy says “ look at my eyes “ as he’s stabbing him to death was dark and as close to the real Tommy as you’ll see in any mafia doc.And you mentioned the glamourizing scenes but like all Scorcese mob films, he shows the darker side and how in the end it all goes sideways and people die, turn on each other and it’s not so glamorous after all.

[@barbados_ririfenty8553]

Tommy desimone was a psychopathic monster and would kill anybody in a heartbeat. Henry hill was relieved when he was killed.

[@Tusc9969]

The Sopranos creator David Chase originally wanted Robert De Niro or Ray Liotta to play Tony Soprano and Lorraine Bracco to play Carmella..both De Niro and Ray Liotta turned it down because they weren't interested in doing Television series at the time since drama shows weren't really big at the time. Lorraine didn't want to play Carmella because she claimed that she's done that role before in Goodfellas but was convinced to play the Psychiatrist . Loved your reaction and really hope you get to these highly recommended Mob films... "Casino" (1995) directed by Scorsese/reuniting De Niro and Joe Pesci with Sharon Stone. "A Bronx Tale" (1993) directed by Robert De Niro, starring De Niro and Chazz Palminteri "Scarface" (1983) directed by Brian De Palma, starring Al Pacino, Michelle Pheifer "Donnie Brasco" (1996) starring Al Pacino, Johnny Depp, Michael Madsen

The old Animaniacs cartoon has 3 pigeon (bird) characters that are literally copies of Henry, Tommy, and Jimmy. They even have the "funny how?" bit used in many episodes. Every second of Goodfellas is a work of art! I've watched it many many times. It's so "good"

[@TTM9691]

Fantastic, fantastic reaction commentary to this movie, you are the perfect reactor for this! Do not miss "Casino" which is practically a sequel to this, it's basically Goodfellas II: The Vegas Years. De Niro, Pesci, Scorsese, Sharon Stone, James Woods, 1995. Also Scorsese and De Niro's first collaboration together, "Mean Streets" (1973), the year before De Niro did Godfather Part 2 and playing a completely different kind of character! I'm sure you've already seen "Raging Bull", right? Pesci's first collaboration with De Niro and Scorsese? That's another must-see, it has some mob overtones. (Lastly, for mob movies: "Donnie Brasco" with Al Pacino and Johnny Depp, another true mob story and the only other mafia movie that approaches Godfather 1 & 2, and Goodfellas & Casino. (After you've seen all those.......then you'll be ready for "The Irishman"! lol.)

[@BradSimsCPT]

According to my Sicilian wife, Italians have a historical tradition of married men having a "side piece" or girlfriend known as a Goumad (not sure how to spell that). It wasn't spoken about but it was understood and accepted. The only rule is you can't fall in love with the girlfriend.

[@barbados_ririfenty8553]

The wife is the long time and the goomah is the fun time lol

[@davidmeir9348]

Thomas DeSimone (the real life character played by Joe Pesci) was an unhinged psychopath who had no problem murdering women and children. One day, Henry said that they were walking in the street and Tommy had bought a new gun and he shot and killed a random guy in the street just to try it and wasn't the least bothered by this senseless murder. Just like in the movie he killed that waiter who told him to go fuck himself and he killed Billy Batts who told him to go bring his fucking shinebox. Truth is that Tommy's body was never found, he disapeared in 1979 and the accepted theory is that he was whacked by future crime boss of the Gambino familly John Gotti who was a close friend of Billy Batts. Gotti had to get permission from Paulie as Paulie was a capo in the Lucchese familly and Paulie probably gave the go-ahead because Tommy was too much of a liability and the real money was with Jimmy.

[@barbados_ririfenty8553]

He was also a reknown woman beater and would beat his girlfriends. He was surprisingly married in real life, would also beat her and had a daughter.

[@MrTech226]

As Henry stated that in order to be made as a member of any family, man has to be Italian/Sicilian Heritage both parents can be traced to their homeland of Italy and Sicily. Plus, ritual of being made is sacred and secret according to some members.

Okay, so now for what happens to Henry Hill after this film ends, watch "My Blue Heaven" starring Steve Martin as Henry Hill, and Rick Moranis as his Parole Officer.

19:26 No, this is wrong. Within the rules of Cosa Nostra, Billy Bats can insult and humiliate Tommy as much as he wants. If Tommy tries to do anything about it, Tommy will be ruled to be in the wrong because Billy Bats is a Made Man, and Tommy isn't. It's an instant death sentence to raise your hands to a Made guy in the mob. Within La Cosa Nostra, the only thing Tommy can do is sit there and take it. Because as soon as he gets physical with Billy, Tommy is the one who'd be out of line in this scenario.

As you noticed, there's a good amount of actors here that ended up in the Sopranos. I think you should watch Donnie Brasco next. It's another awesome mafia movie based on true events. I don't want to say too much about it so if you do watch it you can go go in blind.
