[@davidnetterwald1846]

This scene right here shows how unpredictable and dangerous mob life is. Because one second you’re laughing and every thing seems fine but in the next second someone says the wrong thing to the wrong guy and in that split second moment it could mean the difference between life and death. The tension in that scene slowly builds when Billy is busting Tommy’s chops about once being a shoeshine boy. Then it comes to a point where the tension subsides when Billy apologizes but then it explodes when Billy insults Tommy again. Tommy without realizing it in the moment not only decides to end Billy’s life but his own. That is what being in that life entails any decision that you make no matter how innocuous it seems could result in getting you killed .

Had ANY of them quit while they were still ahead, they would have became redeemed Christians with outstanding testimonies. Especially Tommy, the worse of the bunch. GOD gave him enough time to repent in his 28 years, but once he decided in his mind and heart, he would keep on living and killing, GOD was through. He took His mercy away. That's how GOD works. The mafia is a cursed way of life . All who indulge, bound themselves by a curse and only JESUS can break it. GOD'S love is for all, but we ALL HAVE CHOICES. Either Heaven or Hell, life or death. "

The irony he went to jail for not snitching and the first day he gets out he gets whacked for opening his mouth.

Will never forget the first time I saw this. Probably too young. I was shocked that he actually broke the gun on his face 😮

[@EscapismWins]

Old gun, it backfired and exploded when he pulled the trigger I think.

[@mwhite6522]

The real Henry Hill said Tommy pistol whipped a guy so hard once (not Batts) that he literally broke the gun. That's where the idea came from for this scene. The real Tommy was a total psychopath.

Wait, I thought he did twenty years in the can? Grill cheese and all that.

[@richmorrison8655]

I've always said this a perfect scene as to why Pesci won the Oscar. The totality of the film Tommy was a demon through and through, his every action was deplorable. In this scene he knew he made a catastrophic mistake and for a brief moment he was humanized and you actually felt genuinely bad for Tommy. The way he says "I didn't wanna get blood on your floor" will always stick with me. No one could deliver that line better than Pesci.

[@Price70]

you people put the pretentious Hollywood agenda based snob Oscars on a pedestal while they look down on you. Are we supposed to be impressed that a bunch of pretentious Hollywood snobs voted for him? He fit a stereotype, that's their agenda and the campaigning done by his management. It's not real 😂

[@joshuabhujun3835]

Yes. +It seems Tarantino borrowed that ironic technique of using music in Madsen's terrifying dance scene in Reservoir Dogs.

Wonder if he wrote that one in India with the Fabs?

I always wondered what John Gotti thought about this scene. Imagine one of the most popular movies of all time, and the key scene in it is a re-enactment of one of your friends getting stomped out

I was surprised to find that Joe Pesci was about 50 when he took this role and had to de-age the old fashioned way with lifts and a wig to convince a sceptical Marty he was right for the role.

What's funny is after this movie was filmed, Joe wasn't even allowed to cuss at all in Home Alone

[@DennisCole-ye3er]

"Lol. Yeah that movie was like squeaky clean I think. Kinda funny watching him do all that cussing like a sailor, then see him basically behave like a angel in that flick. Which is a classic timeless one by the way, loved watching it as a youngster. Pesci is one of the greatest, I love him. Showed his bomb range as a player. I played this movie out as a 12 year old, had the DVD. I would watch it religiously. I'm a actor, I want to do legions of black mob movies, ones that focus on the redemption of the characters, the realities of it, not to glorify it. Never liked mob life, just they attitudes and how they carry themselves. "

[@devvildogg1775]

The “i didn’t want to get blood on your floor” is probably the closest thing to an apology or human feelings from Tommy.

[@jaward51]

Even tho Bats provoked him, Tommy went in with a bad attitude. He should’ve traded “how are yous” and moved on.

[@Parasmunt]

And on account of Bats' higher status there would be no major loss of face, though Tommy would lose a little with Jimmy and since Jimmy is also very dangerous that is no small thing.

[@rahatahmed6188]

Tommy had low self esteem, he probably had a really tough childhood. He saw everything as a threat.
