The krays actually made more money in prison than they did outside, shows how much power they must have had.

[@stretfordender11]

Apparently they were never really earners outside and were more on reputation of fear and power. There were others in London, less well known but had a lot more money and power.

[@LegitimateKill]

It’s usually how it goes. AT LEAST with the high level guys. Boss’ make more money in prison.

[@zacharymorgan9526]

Krays were more about putting the boot in

[@pmc8451]

Possibly because of the 90s film where they were both paid £255,000 for the rights and the bodyguard firm Charlie was running. It was useless anyway as they both died in prison (well Reggie was released and spent 3 weeks in a hotel before dying) without any direct family to leave it to.

[@liamthomas2494]

Yh that's cos they were flogging stories in prison

[@JaketheJust]

There’s a scene where Ronnie tells Francis “Sometimes in order to grow, you need to cut off a little piece of yourself.” That line was said to Tom Hardy by Charles Bronson, the prisoner Hardy would play as. Hardy just got his heart broken by his girlfriend and Bronson gave him that advice to help him move on.

I don't get it?

[@wadewilson8011]

Ronnie was committed to a psychiatric institute in real life yes. However, it wasn't the psychiatrist that was threatened by Reggie that got Ronnie released. Since they were twins, Reggie went to visit Ronnie and swap places with him. That's actually how Ronnie got back out in the streets. Reggie on the other hand displayed sanle (normal mental) tendencies to staff, so they released him.

Layer cake is a great movie, most people miss the hidden meaning, that the higher up you go in society the more corruption you can get away with. “You're born, you take shit.

[@peterarmstrong6730]

@TrapHouseMafia Ltd No offence, but you must be American, If you weren't then you'd know about the Richardsons. The Krays were hyped up, mainly because they were blackmailing the Government. If you believe that the Krays were bigger than the Richardsons then go ahead, that's fine. I'll bet you don't even know that the both twins were Gay. Reggie just didn't want to be, he was actually interested in the brother of his soon to be wife before he met her and when the brother didn't accept his advances, he decided that the sister would do instead, allegedly. His wife knew he was trying to hide his desire for men, but hey you obviously know more than I do. I'll even bet that you don't know Henry Hill was into young men too. Take care and have a good day, Sir.

Being twins that bond between the two of them is 10 times stronger than the love between other siblings. They say it's like their a half of one person, together they make a whole.

[@CoRLex-jh5vx]

Some twins feel like that, others can be driven apart by a desire to not be similar to each other. Depends on the environment and just who the twins are as people

Wow. What a fantastic review of this movie. Absolutely loved it mate. I heard you gave a talk at HMP Pentonville back in the day?. I've been in Wormwood Scrubs in London and I heard a talk in HMP Channings Wood from a guy called Terry Waite back in 2017, who was taken prisoner by HAMAS in Beirut.

Great content Mike! God bless brother!

The scene where Ronnie walks Frances to her car was filmed at the same apartment block where they actually lived in the 1960s. Earlier in the video, you show the twins at the same location. 2:35

Once again, just excellent story telling. Michael, your inside info is Spectacular. Good Vibes 👍

[@RogerBuffington]

Great movie! Thanks for turning us on to it, Mr. Franzese!

[@kennykimbler9816]

I've seen documentary about you & iv seen other documentary on the other mob guys that where close to you, so when I seen you had a KZbin channel I subscribed right then. But I must be honest with you its not because of your past life its how you turned your life around & choose God lead you & tell others not to go into that life. Your an inspiration brother not only to me but others. God has truly blessed you & all the things you do by going on stage talking about how Jesus has helped you turn your life around. I pray God continues to bless you & your family. I realy look up to guys like you that have given there life to Christ & telling others how amazing God is & what his done for & how God can do the same for them. Keep up the great work & continue being an inspiration to others. Bless you brother. By the way iv seen the video named, "From Crime To Christ" i loved it buddy. Amazing 👏

Being from London it was great to hear Mr. Franzese’s comments on the movie and the Kray Twins. A compulsive listen 👍🏻

[@BigPete44]

Hey Michael! I’m starting to enjoy Mondays a bit for the first time in my life. Lol. I started following you on IG. Great job! God Bless and Support from The Bronx! 💯🙏🇺🇸

[@gamblemax9772]

I just bought your book cant wait to get it

[@johnpearson429]

Tom Hardy is a master at his craft!! I loved the movie!! I’m well read in the mafia/outfit and the Westies but hadn’t done any research on these guys. I had read little mentions about them in the books about The Rolling Stones Eric Clapton but hadn’t read up on these guys till I saw the movie. Very interesting characters to say the least! You rock Mr.Franzese! ☘️🎸🏴‍☠️

[@thomaswalsh4080]

Hope you’re doing well Mike! I just lost my grandfather due to Covid, your videos have helped to keep my head high. Thank you and god bless! 🙏🏻

[@denasewell]

I am fascinated by your life and how you have become a redeemed hero of your own story..it is truly inspiring! Much love and many blessings!

[@stackthedeck6809]

i love the fact this guy has a channel. For some reason the idea of a tough classy mafia boss thanking ppl for subscribing is hilarious. Keep it up man

[@dennisjohnson5501]

I just bought.your book last night. I can't wait to read it. Thank you for your great stories.

[@chriskelly4477]

Wow...I didn't know Micheal did speaking events untill the end of this ....but the whole time I thought he sure would be perfect for that !!!!🙏 God bless

[@giftedplanksify]

I got a good laugh Michael at the part of the story when you were 25 minutes in and you said cut the long story short! Great story telling 👏 Thanks! Also Mike the British guy with the mustache play a powerful extortionist in Fargo season 3. All fictional but greatly written!!

Only on KZbin could this niche in the media market exist, let alone make sense. Great channel.

[@josesvo8461]

Awsome Mob Movie Monday! Would love to see one for Once Upon a Time in America

[@thekissinggirls]

Great review. Thanks so much! The Krays were true one-offs. It's so cool to hear someone on your level recognise them for the guys they were. Much respect to you from the UK.

[@stephencollinson2334]

Thank you Michael , really enjoy your channel

[@markwalch6065]

Great review brother. I lol'd when uou stated matter of factly Ronnie goes off his rocker again! 😄

[@aaronlane8405]

Great review, Tom Hardy was perfectly cast, he even resembles them. The Drop, with Hardy and James Gandolfini is also terrific.

[@roberta.6399]

I see why God has touched your heart. I'm sure your ministry is changing lives for the better. God blessed you for good reason. Oh yeah, Great review too!! Thanks

[@haydentrudgill]

You summed this film up perfectly. I'm from the east end and its great to hear your take on this.

[@bazsuperbi1773]

Hi Micheal. This is the first videos of yours that I have seen. I want to say, yes Tom Hardy is a great actor, you may have already covered it, but another great film of his is "Bronson" Anyway, I enjoyed your review, and thank you for talking about your close family. They can be hard work. We are going to watch Legend this afternoon.

[@davebaker4911]

Love your videos and stories, they're really interesting to hear. You should come to Scotland sometime.

[@mubodude]

Boardwalk Empire is a great series to watch and understand the context of the beginnings of organized crime and the times in general. Naturally there is artistic license, but some key players and events were real. Well done period piece.

[@JJ-ls8jo]

My all time favourite. Got a black n white canvas on my wall. Watched it x6!

[@ClipsFromMaine]

I was a criminal in and out of jail for 20 years, until I straightened up and stopped drinking, for my daughter. After 2 decades of constant insanity, civilian life can be a little boring, but it’s a better life in every other way. You just gotta find hobbies. 😁 Thank you for the interesting video! I’m surprised it took so long for me to stumble upon your channel, but I’m very glad that I did. And I’m happy to subscribe.

[@chomski1985]

Awsome the way u start this videos ….very cool
