Not sure how often you check your business email. But I sent you an email about a free elgato capture card(it says it in the subject line). Big fan! I'm tired of hearing the movie audio come through your mic lol

[@Cassima79]

Marisa Tomei also won an Oscar for this performance, which is totally awesome. 😁

[@jameshill8498]

That was just because so many critics think all films should be art films and hate comedy like this. They just couldn't accept Marisa Tomei winning.

[@resin_Hd]

Another piece of trivia is that she had all sorts of voice lessons to lose her “Brooklyn accent.” And here she wins an Oscar with that accent on full display.

[@frankie3041]

And now no one can remember the movies she was up against while people are still watching (and loving) My Cousin Vinny.

If the wrong names get incorrectly read, there will be stage managers on that shit right away, without question.

[@jesusfernandezgarcia9449]

As was said of another actress, Marisa Tomei must be given an Oscar every year whether or not she makes a movie.

[@mr.battle20]

Fun fact: This movie is well-known among lawyers to be one of the most accurate portrayals of courtroom proceedings, believe it or not!

[@makienxhemmiktar]

yep. Shown in classes even overseas.

[@trekkiejunk]

This is an often-cited comment regarding this film, and while it's technically true, it is because most other films are just soooooo inaccurate, you only had to get a few things right to be considered, "one of the most accurate portrayals." For instance, walking in to the well to talk to witnesses is not allowed in every American jurisdiction.

[@rivenansgar2415]

A channel known as LegalEagle has a pretty good video about the portrayals of this movie.

[@michaelrohan443]

Yeah. My only beef with it is the judge commits reversible error by admitting the FBI auto expert testimony over Vinny’s correct objection. Any convictions should have been thrown out because of it.

[@mr.battle20]

@@michaelrohan443 True, but I think that was more a depiction of the judge's character rather than a "Hollywood error". Basically showing that the judge is stubborn to a fault. The movie did acknowledge that Vinny's objection was correct, it was just that the judge was overruling him based more on his low opinion of Vinny at the time (which unfortunately does happen IRL from time to time).

[@kathyastrom1315]

There are several little things I love about this movie. 1. Vinny knows a lot about cars, too. When he looks at that photo of the tire tracks, he picks up exactly what we later learn from Lisa, that his cousin’s car couldn’t possibly have left those tracks. Any decent attorney knows not to ask a question in court that they don’t already know the answer to. 2. The prosecutor actually likes Vinny, ever since Vinny’s story about how he decided to go to law school. The invitation to go hunting was a legitimate friendly gesture, as was the offer of his hunting cabin. 3. The town’s residents aren’t actively hostile to Vinny and Lisa, except for the pool player who welshed on paying his bet. The three witnesses are just demonstrating exactly why multiple studies have come out in recent years showing how unreliable eyewitnesses are, in general.

[@NiceDudeMovieNight]

On paper, you wouldn't expect this movie to have such a tight screenplay. But it's so smart while being funny at the same time!

[@samuelvincent557]

Thank you for mentioning the third point. When I was in college, one of the required classes was Intro to Business Law. It's a basic course to introduce people who are going to be management or business owners the very basics of law. On the first day of class, we were waiting for teacher to come in. Five minutes after the class was supposed to start a man walks in, doesn't say anything, just goes to the teacher's desk, sets down a briefcase, takes off his jacket, then walks back out. A couple minutes later, he walks back in, goes up, grabs the briefcase and walks back out. Never says anything, or looks at anyone. Most of the class is ignoring him and chatting among themselves, because class hasn't started. A couple minutes later, he comes back in, stands at the back of the room and, loudly, tells everyone to pay attention, face forward and not look to the back of the room. He instructs everyone to pull out a pen and paper. He says a crime has been committed in the room and everyone is to write down what they remember seeing. No two descriptions of him, or what he did, were the same, or even really close. That was his intro lesson, and a demonstration of why an eye-witness is one of the most unreliable pieces of evidence. He was a great teacher, and I loved how he ran his class. He was an ex-Marine lawyer. Intelligent, witty and funny.

[@bluelagoon1980]

​@@samuelvincent557 not even slightly surprised he was a Marine. That is exactly how a Marine would run a class.

[@MrLolx2u]

Also, to add, the whole courtroom scene isn't the only thing that's accurate, the part where Marisa Tomei's explaining about the cars, also makes sense. Positraction is the GM word of that time now commonly known as "Limited Slip Differential", LSD. Cars with LSD splits the power sent from the crank and gearbox to the diff and it evens out the power and distributes it to both wheels so you have positive traction on both wheels instead of spinning just one wheel and despite not being as strong as AWD, it does help in sticky situations. Also, the independent and solid axle suspension explanation, also correct. As it states, solid axle just meant that the suspension points are suspended with the axle so if one side dips, the other side rises whereas for independent shock setups, all move individually so even if one side dips, the other side compresses the dipped side's pressure 2x more to compensate the shift rather than simply lifting like a solid axle when one side dips. Thus, she's correct that the Buick Skylark didn't have either of those whereas the Pontiac Tempest, which at that point was considered the flagship Pontiac muscle car model had both LSD and independent suspension whereas despite the Buick Skylark sharing the same chassis with the Pontiac essentially, their setups are totally different which, again, she got it right. So that part is also how automotive specialist are told to practice when they're going to court and how realistic that scene is and the sheer accuracy needed when you're a specialist.

[@Elholz]

@@samuelvincent557 I once heard an anecdote from someone who went through police training. While they were in class someone suddenly came into the room, pointed a (prop) gun at the class and then left again. They were supposed to give an eye-witness report of the incident and only like two people noticed, that the actor was wearing contacts to have their eyes be different colours.

[@CheezyTime]

In case you guys didn't know, the judge, played by Fred Gwynne, is most famous for portraying Herman Munster in the show from the 60s, The Munsters.

[@rray848]

Yeah... Unfortunately this was his last film role. He died the year after this came out in 1993 from pancreatic cancer.

[@michaelrohan443]

And the actor who played Sheriff Farley was D Day in Animal House.

[@seamusburke639]

[@piter6076]

Lei ha una bellezza abbagliante ❤❤❤

[@thesisypheanjournal1271]

He slept well in the prison because the noise was the kind of city noise he was used to.

[@taun856]

Vinny being able to sleep in the prison had more to do with him being form a crowded city and the noises were similar to what he was used to hearing and being steady noises. The noises in the country were strange to him and were sudden changes in the ambient noise.

[@DavidStruveDesigns]

Yeah that's actually what I got out of that scene too. It wasn't dead-quiet and then _suddenly_ loud jarring noise, the sound of the prison was more akin to the constant background sounds of a city. Especially one like New York. I thought that was a pretty clever, subtle and nice touch by the writer and director. As was the change between Joe's character before that point and after, showcasing just how much of a difference a good night's sleep and ability to de-stress can have on a person's performance.

[@JeremyAustin-hw1qy]

Joe knocking the chess pieces over was accidental but kept in and so was the 2 yutes line and the only mrs riley line was also ad libbed

[@samuelvincent557]

Also, most likely, the judge wasn't playing chess by himself. In the olden days, people would, sometimes, play chess by correspondence. You would send a letter with your move to your opponent, and then when they made their move they would mail their move back. Those games could take months to years. I'm imagining that the judge was playing with a colleague of his, and Vinny just messed it up. So to recover that game, the judge would have to go through ALL the letters to reset the board, or have his opponent send a diagram or picture of his board.

[@Riffman42]

I always took this scene as the judge was playing a chess game, formal and calculated, not just physically but also mentally as he was trying to outfox Joe with the mental chess game of who he actually was. Before Joe comes into the room, the judge makes his move in both games, smiling at the thought of checking his opponent. Joe "Gallo" comes in, makes his move in the other chess game that's going on before knocking the physical chess game over.

[@JeremyAustin-hw1qy]

@@Riffman42 it's possible

[@jmorlar2852]

One of the funniest things about this movie is that they made Fred Gwynne play a Southerner, whereas he was New Yorker asf!

[@ManicReactions]

Seriously, Marisa Tomei won her Oscar from her sililoquy of”…my biological clock is ticking like ths!…”

[@johannesvalterdivizzini1523]

Her deer hunting horror was incredible.

[@johnkeith8619]

you guys are correct that it takes a great man to be able to menace Joe Pesci, the great Fred Gwynne most well known for being Herman Munster.

[@trekkiejunk]

It's unfortunate his career outside of The Munsters is so limited. He was a tremendously talented actor, and could disappear into any role, and they were always so compelling. I always loved him in Pet Sematary and the small roles he had in Fatal Attraction, Ironweed and others.

[@chrispruett81]

Marisa Tomei is so amazing.. she won an Oscar for this role! I just LOVE HER!!

[@NaeOnYT]

I love this movie, but it is even funnier to me now that I work at a courthouse. Like, the part where the judge immediately snaps, "Don't talk to me sitting in that chair!"--it's exactly what happens with pro se people who try to go toe-to-toe with experienced lawyers, I swear. My favorite line is, "Now, Mrs. Riley...and ONLY Mrs. Riley!", which was apparently improvised.

[@TarossBlackburn]

Funny thing about Trotter is that he's the Opponent, but he's not a villain. He's just doing his job after having gotten tired of getting people out who didn't deserve it so he's doing his best to get two people convicted he -for the most part of the movie- believes are guilty.

[@SmaugUKA]

If you want to see Joe Pesci's best acting job period, it's in With Honors. The movie also has Brendan Fraiser and Patrick Dempsey. If neither of you have seen it, the movie is damn good and extremely underrated. Even if not being done for a Reaction, the movie should still be watched.

[@delwynklassen3644]

Strong agree! Pesci and Fraser each had more fun and more serious roles but With Honors was the whole deal plus a perfect soundtrack and the supporting cast felt real too.

[@sassysuzy4u]

I don't know.... 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag was pretty great and right in his wheel-house hahaha

[@SmaugUKA]

@@sassysuzy4u LOL Right. In his wheelhouse. It's a performance and character you'd expect from Pesci. With Honors however is a massive departure from those characters and truly shows Pesci's acting skills in a character driven Drama. (And yes I know some of your reply is a joke, but I did want to reply to you just in case others might not know about either movie.)

[@sassysuzy4u]

@@SmaugUKA I am glad you got that I wasn’t seriously presenting it as his best work. hahaha I do think it is underrated though, but yeah definitely “Pesci”.

Came to the comments to make the same suggestion! With Honors is a wonderful, vulnerable Pesci. While still a smart ass.

[@wampa25]

He's been practicing for only 6 weeks. He spent 6 years studying for the bar. It took him 6 tries to pass the bar. 6-6-6. Talk about a bad sign.

[@HappyMan0203]

The funny thing is, despite all the antics, it's actually quite accurate to court procedure.

[@trekkiejunk]

That's not entirely true. It's more accurate than most films in regards to the legal stuff, but it's not entirely. Most other films are just so loosey-goosey with procedure, that making an attempt to be reasonably accurate gets it hailed as one of the most accurate movies ever.

[@moonlily1]

Mona Lisa is a wonderfully written female character. She's supportive, but assertive. She will do literally anything for Vinny, except take his shit. She's unpretentious and rough around the edges, but highly intelligent. She's opinionated and funny, crass but soft hearted. "The girlfriend" in these movies usually don't have a lot of personality aside from being attractive. In comedies the woman doesn't usually get to be funny herself, she's just there to laugh at the man's jokes, or roll her eyes at his silliness.

While it's not stated in the film, I saw an interview with the screenwriter recently that put a whole lot of things in perspective for me by saying Vinny was always intended to be dyslexic. He's brilliant, but struggles with text/testing, and he has to work for a living which prevents him takin the extra time he needs both for study and to learn the court system. Before the part was cast, the writer also was picturing Vinny as 6' 5," which I think is one of the funniest casting turnarounds I've ever heard.

We give Mona Lisa credit for winning the case, but actually Vinny figured it out first, so why did he not tell her what was up before she took the stand so she was on the same page just to make sure

Yeah people overlook that fact a lot in reactions. Lisa’s time on the witness stand is great but Vinnie knew off all of it as soon as he looked at the tire tracks. People forget that the piece of paper he gave the sheriff had the exact car that Lisa described on the stand. Vinnie just couldn’t tell the jury that stuff himself since he’s their lawyer and Lisa had as much knowledge as he did about cars.

I love this one. So much nostalgia for me.
