Two of the cutest comments I've heard in a reaction to this movie were from Simone of Cinebinge who said "Paulie is interesting. He looks cuddly and scary at the same time" when the character was introduced and "I told you he was a cuddly bear" when Paulie gave Henry the wad of cash instead of immediately having him wacked.

@BlackFlightNY 4 ай бұрын

It was also written by the late Nora Ephron, who was married by Goodfellas co-writer Nick Pileggi, the author of the book, "Wiseguy", the movie's based on (the film had to change its name to "Goodfellas" to avoid confusion with the Stephen J. Cannell TV series and a Brian De Palma film).

Hi Addie! 😊 The character known as Jimmy Conway (Really Jimmy Burke) also died in prison. Henry was active on the Internet for several years before he died. He died of natural causes in 2012. His mobster threats had all passed away. You should also check out "Casino" (1995) which is also a true story, directed by Scorsese, with some familiar actors. Great reactions to this well made mobster film, Addie!!!! 🎬👏👏👏👏

Nicholas Pileggi wrote the book "'Wise Guy" that the movie is based on and he co-wrote the screenplay with Scorsese. Fun fact - Pileggi's wife was Nora Ephron who is known for writing Romantic Comedies like When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail. She also wrote a comedy called "My Blue Heaven" about a mobster living in the witness protection program. She was inspired by some of the same real life details and interviews that Pileggi had done with the real life Henry Hill.

"After Hours" won't initially bring in huge numbers of views, but those (like me) who do watch it will be VERY grateful. It's low-key one of my favorite Scorcese films; dark, funny, and the opposite of his more typical sprawling epics, since it all takes place in one night. Also, if you like it, you'll probably like "Into the Night" (John Landis) and "Something Wild" (Jonathan Demme).

It's a book written by his son and daughter (they changed it so that Henry had daughters in the movie, to protect the children) about their childhoods growing up with Henry as a father. Henry's drug arrest in '87 was just the tip of the iceberg of the stuff he did that got him kicked out of Witness Protection.

Henry Hill (Ray Liotta's character) couldn't stop his criminal ways. He got booted from the Witness Protection Program for trafficking cocaine (convicted in 87). In 2004 he spent six months in jail for attempted meth possession. He also married another woman while still married (bigamy). He also had big issues with alcoholism and got into trouble with things he did while drunk.

When Hill first went in Witness Protection he was sent to Omaha, Nebr., which has little or no Mafia presence. Within a short time he was selling dope outside the entrance to Offutt Air Force Base, which is a little alarming as Offutt is the home of what was then called the Strategic Air Command, in charge of nuclear weapons. He somehow got made in Omaha and they moved the family somewhere down south before sundown. Later, after he was kicked out of Witness Protection he turned up in North Platte, Nebr., where some people I know knew him. He was working at a restaurant. He got busted there for drug dealing at least once.

@randalthor741 5 ай бұрын

Based on the fact that while he was in witness protection Henry Hill was arrested in Seattle, I'd bet that witness protection placed him in Point Roberts. It's just a little way outside of Seattle, and witness protection likes placing people there because it's only connected by land to Canada, so anyone trying to get there from the rest of the USA by land has to cross an international border twice (into Canada and then out of Canada). The types of people who'd be looking for someone in witness protection are likely to flag alerts going through border security.

Thank you for another fun reaction. "Not a single goodfella here" THANK YOU! When this movie was released I completely missed it, perhaps because I was a bit too young, or just coincidence. I don't remember. Years later in the late 90s I got to watch it for the first time in a lecture hall at the university , as a student. I enjoyed it very much and even went out and bought the DVD for it. For the next 2-3 years I was watching it every few months, usually with some Chinese takeaway (or KFC) and having a blast. The funny thing is, the older I got, the least I like it, which for me at least is extremely rare. Not from the technical standpoint, the movie is a masterpiece, but as the story of some bad criminals who deserved no attention. No good character traits, no redeeming qualities in any of the main characters. Terrible terrible people with zero skills other than being violent criminals. I can watch the rare reaction video to it, but I really have no desire in ever watching the full film on my own ever again.

There are a couple is specific changes made from real life vs the movie: The shoe shine incident between Bill Batts and Tommy happened at one club, but a week or so later Tommy killed him at another club. My guess is that it was just simpler just to shoot it as one event, since it still doesn't betray the incident. In the movie, Henry sees Paulie and gets the $3200 before Paulie turns his back on him, but IRL, Karen gets the money from Paulie. It does work better for dramatic effect since Henry was like Paulie's son. Also, Jimmy, not Tommy, was the unhinged, psycho that Pesci played and supposedly, Tommy and Stacks were the best of friends.

@Redplant99 5 ай бұрын

Another fact they don't mention in the movie is that Batts wasn't murdered just because he insulted Tommy. It was because Jimmy had taken over Batts' loansharking racket while Billy was in prison and, now that Batts was back on the street, Jimmy didn't want to give it back to him.

I remember watching an interview with a man who was in the mafia around that time. He said while he wasn't part of that family, he did know some of the people being portrayed in the film. The scary part is he said the movie actually downplayed some things. For example, you know how Tommy was a loose cannon and completely insane? Well, the guy commented that Tommy was the most accurate character. He said Tommy was pretty much the bar for how all Mafia guys are. Especially back then, and they get worse from there.

Like most "inspired by a true story" movies, much of the story is highly dramatized or wholesale made up. A movie is always about heightened realism because it's about amping emotions, it's not a documentary.

The best mafia movie ever made! Joe Pesci won a very well deserved Best Supporting Actor Oscar.

Henry Hill died 69 years old, in 2012, heart problem. Jimmie never got out of the prison, he died in prison 64-years old, cancer. Jimmy's son (not shown or mentioned in the movie) was shot dead during a drug deal gone wrong, 26-years old.

After the movie came out Henry Hill became a semi-regular caller into the Howard Stern show. Howard would often let callers claiming to be mobsters talk to Henry and they'd threaten to kill him, much to Henry's amusement. It never happened though.

I hope you watch #Casino , if you haven't already. DeNiro and Pesci also star in it. Great pick for a reaction.

If such audio exists, you should check out some of Howard Stern's interviews with Henry Hill. Ray Liotta was terrific in the role, but he really was the prettified version a truly loathsome human being. As an added bonus, a lot of presumed wise guys would call into the show, and tell Henry what they'd do if they could get five minutes alone with him, which he almost kind of deserves.

One of Scorsese's masterpieces with a stellar cast and fantastic screenplay adaptation. Sadly we lost both Paul Sorvino & Ray Liotta last year :(

Addie, so happy you're starting to hit the REAL Scorsese masterpieces. Definitely make sure you have these two non-mob Scorsese masterpieces from the 80s on your list: The King Of Comedy, and After Hours. You'll love both. Both are wild comedies. After Hours is barely an hour and a half. And if you liked this one, definitely hit "Casino", which is virtually a sequel, "Goodfellas Goes To Vegas". And then of course, along with Goodfellas, there are two other Scorsese/De Niro collars that loom large in both of their careers: Taxi Driver and especially Raging Bull. Lastly: in the 90s they did a blockbuster suspense/action movie together that is also real good, great reaction video material and their biggest box office success (ie: people know the movie, don't worry): "Cape Fear"! All of those movies deserve WAY more reactions. Goodfellas and Taxi Driver have plenty of reactions, but those others should have WAY more considering their place in movie history. All are real great. (PS: Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, an incredible woman's film from 1975, is yet another great Scorsese movie you should check out, probably off the channel though, I don't know if that's as well known anymore).

I remember flipping through the channels one day and catching this movie on the Lifetime Channel.

Raging Bull, please! Another true story, this time of boxer Jake LaMotta. The first classic on-screen pairing of Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. Very few reaction videos for that one for some reason.

In real life, they used a tire iron and a shovel on Billy Bats in the trunk. I actually like that better. 😂😂
