Henry and Karen's daughters when they were little and going to the prison with Karen were Lorraine Bracco's real life daughters. One of them is Stella Keitel, whose father is Harvey Keitel. The prosecutor who was offering Henry and Karen the witness protection deal was the same prosecutor who offered that deal to Henry Hill in real life, playing himself in the movie.

[@TheGoodChap]

He does that in casino too with Tommy's lawyer being the actual lawyer of the person that character is based on and they even recreate the shot that was broadcast on the news of him leaving the court house with the lawyer whole reporters are chasing him down

[@wayniac917]

In the book Wiseguy "goodfellas book" they go a little further and talk about the Boston College Basketball point shaving scheme they had going on with a few players, and the prosecutor had gone to the same college at the same time on the same team and knew nothing about it. He came across the table at Henry almost hitting him in disbelief. Wish they had included that in the film but probably would of made the movie over 3 hours long

When Ray passed a couple weeks ago it hit me really really hard and I'm afraid I made it personal: when we were young, it was mine and my sister's favorite movie; we used to quote it at each other all the time. "Hmm, an aristocrat!" "To-DAY. To-DAY. To-DAY." "Get your shinebox!" Paid a little visit to her grave, got a sixer of Bud, and drank it all while re-watching this movie for the 100th time.

Two observations: 1. Jay will call at least one character a "bitch" in every reaction. 2. Jay said, "My mom thought that the more people who die in a movie, the better it is. But, I wasn't cut from that cloth." Yet, Jay spends a lot of this movie saying, "He should kill him" and "I'd take him out." So, maybe he got at least a PIECE of that cloth? Haha

[@TheGoodChap]

Only move that does it bigger or better imo is boogie nights, the opening shot of that movie is on KZbin and legitimately feels like an attempt at one upping Scorsese with one take shots, in sure pta is a huge fan but it's just so much excess like starting from a crane to steady cam and one shot goes into a pool and follows a swimmer during the party scene

The cat I learned to cook from (I'm a chef) owned a joint in NOLA that some of these actual guys ate at regularly back in the late 70's. They loved him for his food (and...maybe cause he was half Sicilian). The only problem he ever had with the goodfellas was when they found out he bought a Mercedes, which pissed them off. He returned it the next day and got a Caddy.

[@keithmays8076]

Mercedes? I don't get it. If they were pissed off at him for buying an import, I'd trade in the Mercedes for an Alfa Romeo. Let them try being mad at an Italian car.

[@gggooding]

@@keithmays8076 What can I say, it's what happened...don't necessarily make sense. I met more than a few wise guys back in the day (I've got lots more stories) and I gotta say...Tommy and Doc, for example, were Made Men that I knew...and jimminy: they were about as smart as a box of hammers and nowhere near as useful.

[@gggooding]

@@keithmays8076 Here's a whopper. Met a very old, famous mob-fella 20+ years ago (name?). He told me he put the money into Lee Harvey Oswald's hands to shoot at Kennedy. "Yeah...he shot _at_ him. He missed, but...you know." His name pops up in the conspiracy theories, but...he was probably just an old man telling a made up story to sound cool. Probably. 🤔🤗. (He drove a Caddy, btw )

[@idiocracylarper]

Fun fact: There's a lot of actors from Goodfellas that would later show up in the hit TV series The Sopranos. The least-recognized guest stars, with a surprisingly high amount of lines devoted to them considering that they do not actually exist, are the two imaginary black guys from 7:00 in this video. They finally appear onscreen in the last scene of The Sopranos, despite being fictional in-universe.

"Why they turning that lady into a Smurf?" I woke up the rest of the house because I was howling with laughter when I heard that! Great video again, JL! Goodfellas is a phenomenal film, and I laugh a lot at it,. However, watching along with you I realized why it's been awhile since I've seen it: for me the film. A lot of relatives on my mother's side of the family lived in Nassau County just across the line from Queens, where a lot of this film was set, at approximately the same time as the events in the film. They had the same houses, furniture, accents, and yes, more than a few hostess parties that my mom dragged us kids to. (Shudder) Terrible food, too. I remember one of my mom's cousins used to be so proud of her baked tuna casserole with marshmallows in it. (Shudder again) Simply awful. Also at the same time, much further east on Long Island where my family lived, my dad was a cop assigned to an area lousy with gangsters, and gangster-wannabes, who had moved out from New York City because they thought it would be easier to do what they did and not get caught. My dad would tell me stories when I was growing up, and he described people just like all the guys you see in this film. Fast forward several years and I'm now going to high school in the very same area: the only Irish kid in a school that was 99.9% Italian. And I got grief from dozens of kids when word got out that my dad had been a cop in the area. These kids were all whining or complaining about how my dad locked up their dads/uncles/brothers/grandfathers. A couple even got stupid and tried to get revenge. My dad tell me even more stories, and provide more detail, as I got older because he figured I was old enough to understand. After he passed away I found even more about what he dealt with in his old cases files, with some details that actually chilled me. So yeah, gangsters can be entertaining in their way. But it's good to keep in mind why they are actually criminals. Other than that, shout out to Drogo and Romulus! You're one lucky guy to have co-pilots like them, JL! And keep up the good work!

@@EOMReacts Cool history fact the FBI agent interrogating him near the end was the real life Agent the interrogated the real life Henry Hill. Also Karen and Paulie were having an affair and the reason he tried whacking off Karen was because he tried having his way with her when she was saying no. Also hate to tell you this, but Henry hill was kicked out of witness because he kept getting into trouble and eventually he became more trouble than he was worth. So ever since than the only way he can make any real money was be constatly reliving his life in the Mafia, so it's no surprise he became an alcholic. Also the reason they had such priviliege in jail was because they BRIBED Guards to look the other way and get such nice things. BUT they had to pay almost $2000 a month and they couldn't earn it from the outside, and that's when Henry started dealing.

My grandpa was tied in with the mob and my dad grew his business (used car dealership) upon what he learned from his dad. Somewhat shady but not sinister.

He learned this from his dad (my grandpa) and from mob movies like this and The Godfather etc.

Henry would later be kicked out of witness protection, they found out he had started selling drugs again. As he couldn't get a job due to his past, he ended up writing the book the movie's based off and doing speaking engagements about his time in the Mafia. He died in 2012 from complications involving heart disease.

[@ivanholguin164]

20:07 "Did Tommy ever tell you of my painting?", That was the only scripted line in that scene, everything else was all improvised by the actors. Also shout out to Tommy's mother, which in actuality is Martin Scorsese's (the Movie director) mother, Catherine. And Vinnie the cook at 27:39 is Charles Scorsese, his father. His parents were the only people he knew that knew how to tie gangster tie knots correctly. They were also usually on set helping out with wardrobe so since they already spent so much time on set, he figured why not have them in the movie too. And of course shout out to Ray Liotta! His role as Henry Hill was so captivating that even the REAL Henry Hill would eventually meet Ray and praise him by saying "Thanks for not making me look like a scumbag." Despite all the horrible things he did in real life is in the movie. RIP Ray Liotta

@@EOMReacts just to update i did see it and thank you lol. i did want a different outcome for Leo's character but then i heard it was based on a Hong Kong movie and i knew why it was like that. they often have that sort of end for example John Woo's The Killer, and Hard Boiled. both super good action flims you guys should consider.

[@EOMReacts]

@@stegwise Both are on his list. I think Face Off might be the only Woo movie he’s seen. Glad you enjoyed The Departed. The movie it’s based on is called Internal Affairs, from Hong Kong (2002 I think?). Definitely worth a watch itself.

[@axisjack7]

I would highly recommend My Blue Heaven. It's a comedy with Steve Martin that is basically Henry's life after going into WitSec. Great reaction, man!❤

[@pietergreveling]

Another great crime movie based on a true story is Blow (2001)! ✌🏼

[@MsTeaRex]

Haha, my hubby used to say, this is a real good movie there is a lot of killing in it! Me and the kids would just laugh and laugh!

[@joshuacampbell7493]

Fun Fact: Joe Pesci won Best supporting actor in this film.

[@EOMReacts]

Well deserved.

[@brettschacht4183]

Great reaction as always! Please check out 'Midnight Run' with DeNiro, it's one of his best. The comic timing between he and Charles Grodin will have you in stitches. Much love to you and your pups♥️

[@J_EOMReacts]

Greatly appreciate that and thank you for showing my babies some love

[@stevehawkins1744]

One of my favourite movies!

[@PeteTash32]

Henry's wife is played by the Therapist from the Sopranos, which if you haven't seen is one of the best shows ever.

[@tinabenavidez1903]

The history on Goodfellas and tombstone are very interesting you should look them up. I'm not sure if Henry Hill is still alive.

[@TheFacrecords]

It’s a masterpiece.

The little doggie so cute!

[@viviandarkbloom100]

You probably know but the old lady is Martin Scorceses actual Mother. He puts her in some of his films. I always thought that was funny.

[@TheEMFB]

You're not about to like how it begins...😬 Your co-pilot doesn't like Joe Pesci when he gets angry...or maybe it's when you start cursing about it 💁‍♂️😅🤣

[@ryanritchey2498]

We all know this is going to be good.

[@RetroClassic66]

Great reaction again, JL! If you’re interested in seeing more Scorsese films (and I would hope you are; he’s one of our best filmmakers), I’d recommend, first, to complement this film, his other big mob movie, CASINO (1995), which again stars Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci, as well as Sharon Stone, James Woods, Kevin Pollak, Don Rickles, and a great ensemble cast. That and GOODFELLAS are two of Scorsese’s most popular films, and certainly among his best. I’d also recommend MEAN STREETS (1973), TAXI DRIVER (1976), RAGING BULL (1980), THE KING OF COMEDY (1982), THE AGE OF INNOCENCE (1993), GANGS OF NEW YORK (2002), THE AVIATOR (2004), THE DEPARTED (2006), HUGO (2011), THE WOLF OF WALL STREET (2013), and SILENCE (2016). Some of these are very raw and gritty and crime-related, others are not. Some people like to pigeonhole Scorsese as an urban filmmaker who only does movies about the Mafia or Italian Americans in some way or “the streets,” but he’s excelled in all kinds of film genres and styles. He’s really a filmmaker you want to do a deep dive on and check out all his films, really.

[@EOMReacts]

I think the onto one of those he’s seen is Wolf or Wall Street, and I’m not even sure he hasn’t seen that. Plenty of Scorsese on the way. LoL

[@cliffwheeler7357]

Tommy's mom was played by Martin Scorsese's mother. She also played a small part in Casino.

Some little side info for the hell of it. When Henry Hill was on Howard Stern once, the sister of "spider" called in and berated him over the fact that they never found his body in the club where Henry had said they buried it. He said they must've moved it after he left the mob. They never found his body and the sister was very angry that Henry was now making a living off selling his life story to hollywood. For one thing the movie glorifies his life a ton and makes him look like a big shot gangster, when in reality he was pretty much a nobody. As for Joe Pesci, he had done a lot of lighter movies before Home Alone, he can play a goofball like on Lethal Weapon etc.

[@EOMReacts]

I cant' wait for him to get to watching the Lethal Weapon movies.
