Ex-Mob Boss Rates 12 Mafia Movie Scenes | How Real Is It? | Insider

Michael Franzese, a former New York mobster and ex-caporegime of the Colombo crime family, rates classic mafia movie scenes on how accurate they are. The US mafia is featured in many classic movies from the 1920s onwards. We discuss the cultural significance and accuracy of famous crime scenes in movies and TV shows, such as "The Sopranos." Franzese also points out inaccuracies in scenes from mob comedies such as "Analyze This" and "The Simpsons."
Franzese discusses true stories and real-life characters featured in "Goodfellas" and "Casino." He talks about his proximity to the events of Martin Scorsese's "The Irishman," the Oscar-nominated movie starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino.
After Franzese was released from prison in 1995, he became the only high ranking official of a major mafia family to ever walk away, without protective custody, and survive. Franzese is the author of "Blood Covenant" and "I’ll Make You An Offer You Can’t Refuse." He now works as a public speaker and motivator.

Ex-Mob Boss Rates 12 Mafia Movie Scenes | How Real Is It?

[@ives6622]

Remember when people jokingly commented "real Mafia boss react to mob movies"

[@xkiyo7]

"I had a brother.. I have a brother"

[@MrTeinnorHD]

His father died 3 years ago at age 103. He is 70 and looks 50. This family has god-tier genetics.

[@thomasbobinski4127]

How is noone talking about how this dude was in the movie theatre with his girlfriend, fresh outta jail, saw HIMSELF in the movie and immediately said, "we need to get the f%$@ out of here". What a freakin legend 😂 Didnt even know he was gonna be in the movie this guys is hardcore, Good Fellas is a classic

[@tahakamran6196]

That must be a mindfuck to watch Goodfellas and see yourself in the movie.

[@CMMNG]

Imagine watching your old boss, or the guy that murdered your family member on youtube casually rating movies.

[@thesailorstarlights1]

The whole “it fell off a truck thing” is really funny to me cause my grandpa was in the mob and he would send us tons of cool stuff and my dad would joke that it fell off a truck and me and all my siblings thought it was just a joke cause we’re Italian but we later found out that our grandpa was actually in the mob lmao

[@B__RH]

The fact his brother went into witness protection program and hasn’t seen him in 10 years is heartbreaking

[@justinhopper5941]

“We had fat tony Solaro.

[@bmd8847]

“Why was he called fat tony cuz he was fat” lmfao 😂😂😂

[@beatrixxxkiddo]

The fact he has deep insight of Jimmy Hoffa is wild to think about, considering law enforcement never found the body of the guy

[@The.pink.coffee.addict]

I love him explaining the nicknames 😂 “why’d you call him Benny Eggs?” And he just goes “well he liked eggs” 😂😂 a true legend

[@romeovf]

Him: "Honey, come on, it's just a movie, they make things up"

[@Cam-dl9xi]

imagine watching a mob mafia movie and the italian guy next to you says “ i don’t look like that/ we don’t do that”😳😳

[@Joker-qr5se]

Met this man before and shook his hand and he even gave me a couple of minutes of his time. Very interesting man very nice and warm personality but he definitely has the eyes of someone that has seen some things but yet you can tell his family especially his wife and his dad mean everything to him.

[@CalifornianCuttlefish]

I love how this guy is so honest and informative about who he was/is, it's sad that he hasn't seen his brother in 10 years, but it's interesting that the kiss of death is a Sicilian thing

[@utkarshshukla528]

"every week we had to be at funerals and marriages, never knew who was marrying or dying" 😂😬

[@tobaliciousholland12]

Does this guy not age?? He's 68... But looks like he's 48

[@daniel-johnson_dam]

Fun fact: The Godfather movies are not particularly realistic but they became realistic because the mafia saw these movies and got inspired by these movies, for example: the kiss on the hand shown in The Godfather wasn’t a thing when at the time the movie got out but the mafia made it happened and they used these movies to « enlist » the next generation of mobster because the movies portraid the mafia as more romanced than it was at the time

[@jinpachibobochan3532]

I know a guy who worked for the Italian mafia as a thief or somehting (hijacking trucks, stealing jewelry, etc.)
