This film did not have the makings of a varsity athlete.

News anchor: "We'll never know why Paul Castallano was killed" *35 years later* Sammy the Bull: "Hey guys, so this story..."

The original Gotti film made in the 90s is the best portrait of John Gotti. Neil delacroache played by actor Anthony Quinn. Brilliant.

Could you imagine John gotti rolling in his grave knowing that Danny Zuco from Grease is playing him

the guy who played Johny sack on the sopranos would have been a far far better actor to play gotti

It's funny how two guys get shot multiple times outside a restaurant but no one inside hears a thing.

Paul Castellano's hit was made in public for a reason; it's so they can blend in with the panicked crowd and escape. I guess this movie could not afford a crowd.

If Teflon Don was still around,he would have whacked the director of this movie lol

“We’re hitting Paul… and his shine box…”

The guests inside the restaurant are reacting to the massacre outside like it's just snowing. Very realistic acting.

John Travolta playing John Gotti is like Kermit the Frog playing James Bond.

When I'm stressed and need a good laugh, I look up Travolta Gotti clips. Armand Assanti must laugh his ass off watching this

This movie is the wet fart of mob movies.

90’s Gotti movie did it so much better.

Armand Asante was so much more believable than Travolta, this movie can’t hold a candle to the 96 Gotti.

Travolta as Gotti is a joke. This is like having Freddie Prinze Jr play Donald Trump. The one with Armand Asante back in the day was a masterpiece.

This makes the 96 gotti movie look BETTER than The Godfather

not even Scorsese could help this movie

"He's not going to make dinner" that's some cold shit right there

how is shopping on December 16th “last-minute Christmas shopping”?? LoL

John Travolta is the only Italian that can not portray a mob character

This movie made 100 dollars .

“We’re gonna get in and out... Baazang, like the Pittsburgh Steelers” what incredible writing

I guess Gotti never heard that a pint of blood is worth a gallon of gold.

The actor who plays Sammy in this movie looks nothing like the real Sammy it’s hilarious 🤣

Holy shit. Im glad ive never seen this. How in 2018 could they have made a movie about one of the most well known hits and be so completely inaccurate about it?

This isn't a movie, it's a glorified fan film.. 5 Scorcesse classics and then this other pygmy thing with Travolta

When you have Vinnie Barbarino who dances on a lit dance floor playing Gotti - you know it's not going to turn out well.

This sounds like the complete opposite of how an order goes down. Complete cheese.

My grandfather and uncle were eating in sparks when Paul was killed. Unlike portrayed here... everybody in the restaurant was aware Paul was there. Because they weren't deaf and blind. 😂

I’ve eaten at sparks a few times.. the bar is maybe 40 feet from the hit, waiter said the whole restaurant was in chaos the minute the shots rang out lol

See all those Christmas shoppers outside of Sparks? --Said no one ever!🤣🤣🤣

Wrong year for the Lincoln Town Car, that was a 1980-1984, I believe it was a 1985 in real life, and the Cadillac that Travolta was in was wrong too, it was a 1990-1992, the car wasn't even made yet.

I hate how it's shot digitally despite being set in the past, it looks like a cheap straight-to-video movie

Who’s here because of the informant trenches news

Say what u want about this movie, u cant ever get enough sparks scenes. Even castallano and bilotti would smile at being immortalized in death.

Armand Assante (a great actor) played this role sooooo much better. Some remakes should just be left alone

This was the one scene I felt was almost decent from the movie, and it lost all its potency not having the Christmas music playing during the hit.

Wow The way Sammy told this story on his podcast with no visuals at all was more exciting And intense than this scene .

After watching this, I have to say that Armand Assante is a helluva actor

1:20 - “We’re going to get in and out - buhzing - like the Pittsburgh Steelers.” Da fuq…? Most ridiculous line to describe a hit, ever. Besides, the ‘85 Steelers had their first losing season in over a decade.

Armand Asante did it better.

Travolta had no business playing Gotti, it's not even close, not surprised the movie bombed at the box office

Everyone knows Sammy planned the hit and Gotti was the driver in his vehicle lol idk why they’d change it outta pettiness against Sammy 😂😂😂

How do you manage to make this scene this anticlimactic? Only scene I've watched of this and I believe everyone saying its horrible now. Damn I wanted this to be a great movie, too.

Still doesn't beat HBO 1996 Gotti

It was the perfect hit. Taking out the boss and no one had a clue.

Am I the only one who notices the room looking identical to the mob scene room in The Dark Knight?

The original gotti movie is better than this crap.

I feel like I’m watching the dark knight trilogy. It’s all suspenseful with the music in the background like we don’t know whats going to happen.

Never watched this movie cause Travolta don't remind me of John Gotti at all, not even just a little

Productions blew it. Wasnt even 2 hours. I was really hoping they'd give more insight when gotti was capo and more detail when he and sammy and their consigliere was were in prison those 11 months.. they really should've went into more detail on samy ratting. It should've been called "the gambino family" instead of "gotti" they made gotti out to be this amazing guy when in fact he was the opposite in my opinion

Junior had a lot to do with this movie hence why sammys character wasn’t a good standard , they always gonna have a hardon for sammy

Sammy wasn't driving...Gotti was....Sammy was on the passenger seat coodinating the action

Is Christmas shopping on the 16th really last minute? I usually haven’t even started by then

Don't know who they got to play Castellano, but he was a big man. The guy's face fit, but not his frame.

Straight to Walmart bin dvd

Why are they acting like John orchestrated the hit? When thanks to You Tube even pre teens know he didn't set anything up really. He just benefitted from it the most.

This movie was a flop, could of been a master piece if they done it it right regards to plots and casting.... its a shame really

Watched this movie in Netflix. It's true what everyone said about it... It stinks. What a shame too because how do you make this epic true story and fuck it up on the screen to where it's unwatchable ?

Travolta's accent was perfect here 😂

Badass how frankie walked out right after sam and john drove right by

The movie with Armand Assante is the best, remember the goodfellas.

John Gotti sends his regards.

theres still people walking calmly across the street anbd no one inside heard the shots?? the director has never heard a gun go off for sure

96s Gotti was so well acted and entertaining that they didn't need this one.

First Medellín Then we got this

Bazang like the Pittsburgh Steelers ? Lmao wtf

This movie should be shown in film schools on what not to do when making a movie. Cue the Pitbull track. 🤣

The best thing ever to happen to a mediocre, overpriced Steakhouse. People still eat there 35 years later.

This music was so much better than the "silent night". Anyone know what music this was?

I was waiting so long for this movie and when it came out i was disappointed. This movie sucked so much balls

Good acting, but they made a lot of mistakes

Paul's here.. He's not gonna make dinner. We gotta go. Love it.

The next day after the shooting. Howard Stern called Sparks for a reservation. He asked was their seating available in the shooting or non shooting part of the restaurant.

They couldn't even make the scene of the hit right..

After watching the movie twice I have to mention something as a diehard mob movie fan and very critical fan I will say. without question this movie is absolutely horrendous but I do wonder if the story wasn’t about John Gotti and maybe the movie was completely fictional would we hate on Travolta’s character so much? The scene where he walks into his house earlier in the movie and smacks the shit out of his son for the bar fight Gave me this feeling. I wonder if they took the same embodiment he portrayed here and put it somewhere else and created a new character to it travolta might hold up as a good villain. But due to the fact that the movie is so bad and of course we have high expectations to portray someone like John Gotti. Not to mention making good mob movies is not easy considering you have to live up to the standards of Goodfellas and Casino in the godfather etc. not easy. But It even seem they didn’t even try in this one and they missed the mark.

one of the coolest scenes in history

So your saying the guys that hit Paul castelano didn't know till right before the mission?

I know it doesn't mean much, but the real Castallano wasn't wearing sunglasses when he was hit. There's several crime scene photos.

How could they not hear those gunshots from the bar? This movie is awful 😂

Just went by there during my trip to NYC. Not gonna lie it was pretty cool being there

I like decicco's point of veiw in this scene.

I don't understand why gotti is planning the hit, when it was all Sammy the bull Gravano plan and execution

3:33 the second man who was behind of the first gentleman coming out of the restaurant didn't do the Catholic prayer (north south east west) when he saw Castellano's corpse. Now he doesn't like him? Your typical "you lost so I'm on their (Gotti's) side?"

So theyre not gonna mention that sammy set it all up not john?

If Cosa Nostra hadn't turned into a public fascination from the Godfather movies, Neil Dellacroce would have whacked Paul himself.

I never heard about this movie

Sammy is driving right? Public record has John driving yet it looks like Sammy is driving let alone the camera angle is on the wrong side of the street ...no wonder why it bombed at the box office.

I can see what this movie is trying to do, but it just doesn't work

I know I’ve seen this movie before. But I have no recollection of anything in it

Richard Kuklinski (played by Michael Shannon in "Ice Man") claimed to have been on of these assassins in his biography. But this, and a lot Kuklinski's other claims, has been disputed.

Wack line pitt steelers

Welcome back Castellano

"we may never know why Paul Castellano was killed" 3 movies and a few podcasts about it later......

But Sammy said that John was his driver during this hit. You think his son would have known that.

Travola nailed it. Ice cold, brilliant acting. His best work in my opinion.

Gotti (1996) #1🏆 Armand Assante William Forsythe Anthony Quinn Frank Vincent

When i can't sleep i think of this film an im in a coma

This movie was not good, but it's also not worth a 0% or 1% on Rotten Tomatoes lol more like a 20%
