3:56 I seen this movie 50 times but this is my first time realizing that the guy who played Johnny Sack in The sopranos is in the scene. He's on the right side of the screen standing up and clapping. He's the first one to stand up. This is really a casting pool for the sopranos

1:20 if you've ever seen footage of the real John Gotti leaving the courthouse, you will realize why Armand Assante is the best Gotti there will ever be. Talk about method acting, this man nailed that walk and the whole role. The swagger and strutting, the tone of voice. The look. Travolta has absolutely NOTHING on this.

Armand Assante will always be John Gotti he killed it.

Every actor played this movie perfectly.

if Assante had joined the Sopranos cast, he would have been great.

Love how the original gotti got it right that john was the driver while sammy was the passenger/orchestrator, while the new gotti even got this messed up

Definitely one of the most well done scenes in cinema history. The music goes so well with the scene.

Lot of Soprano cast here, Paulie Walnuts, Johhny Sack, Phil Leotardi

03:56 when even Jonny Sac celebrates, you know you did it right.

Castellano came at Paulie with a chainsaw. He's got a right to defend himself!

Armand Assante owns this role. He has a subtle wince as the hit is going down, watching intently to make sure it is successful, but not having any sort of blood lust or primal enjoyment of the spectacle in front of him. Assante took on a role that was complicated and full of nuance, and he mastered it. It was an unimprovable performance that put the later Travolta remake to shame.

December 1985. I was almost 5 years old and remember watching this on ABC Channel 7 Eyewitness news. I didn't understand it so much but it was big.

Cant believe all that moaning paulie did about going to war with New York when he was the one who iced paul castellano 😁

This movie gave birth to the Sopranos

The music in this movie is amazing.

That head turn at 1:17 was epic!

1:14 they had a basketball game on with football commentary 😂

THE HBO Gotti is way better than the John Travolta Gotti although Travolta did a good job but the movie did not need to be made

RIP to the greatest Hitman in both Jersey and New York

When Paulie stares you down u know your done

The music is brilliant in this scene.

Paulie Walnuts made the first shot!!!!

Armand Assante was awesome in this it was scary. You could feel how much Gotti had built up in his anger at big Paul. And once Neil died the dam exploded. 😬

Lol the sopranos casting director just said I’ll use everyone from gotti. Isn’t that Johnny sack at the table towards the end?

When I watched this as a kid it shook me to the f'ing core! Assand deserevd an Oscar for this!

Better than the john Travolta version hands down

craziest part about the mafia is that the guys are such products of the life they’ll still be soldiers pulling off hits in their 50s and 60s whereas the military, navy, etc. would be retired or working desk jobs by then. wild.

Sparks is on 46th Street in Manhattan which is not a 2 way street. There should not have been cars going in both directions. 46th is an eastbound only street.

I was lucky enough to have worked with Armand. Not a nicer guy in the world.

William Forsythe is the coolest white dude ever!!!!!

Let’s not forget the Director of this movie. Also whoever was in charge of the music did a phenomenal job. Also, this is absolutely top five gangster movies all time.

The premiums on life insurance for Mafia Dons must be astronomical. lol

I love when they all get up and clap after

Armond Assante the best portrayal of Gotti in a movie

I just realized that’s Vincent Curatola (Jonny Sack) on the right at 4:00!!!

WONDERFUL build up to the Ultimate HIT of modern time!! nice job!!

Ivw seen this Scene like over 100 times 😂😂😂😂

'Witness to the Mob', yep, that's the title I'm looking for, best version of this scene is found in that movie.

This movie is up there with the godfather, i actually like it better

Had a lovely fillet mignon in that place last year.... great steakhouse.... bit pricey but.🙄

Paulie looks like he killed 16 Czechoslovakians single-handed...

Such a great scene

Never expected to see the Shah of Iran in this thing 1:12

Greatest hit in history.

The best mob hit ever carried out.

1 of the gr8test mob movies ever. Everybody tore it up

Hands down the best Gotti film

Great movie!

3:56 OHHH it’s Johnny Sac on the right

Was that johnny sac I saw at 3:56?

Those ol school gangsters really love them revolvers. Old faithful. Never jam when you need it. Funny how these days everything come with extended this and automatic and when u need it the most they can let u down. Times and ideologies changes so much.

Best Gotti film by far, one of the best mob films. Murder is inexcusable, that said it was an impressively well orchestrated assassination irl.

1:21 looks identical to gotti from behind

1:15 is spine chilling

Paul never had the makings of a real boss but a legitimate businessman

1:40 Captain Paulie "walnuts" Siccero!!!!

With the RICO hammer coming down on the Bosses, Castellano got off easy. Other than that, Armand Assante etched a Legacy in stone with his performance and portrayal of Gotti. 🔥👌🏽

Another thing castellano almost came to an end a lot sooner when the westies went to meet with him and put a hit squad across the street the leader of the westies the meeting turned out well for the westies they partied and the leader almost forgot to call off his hit squad it’s a legendary story. Who knows how things go different if big mouth gotti doesn’t become boss but he’s still a legend

Had no idea Johnny Sack worked for Gotti... :P

"i'm gonna go hit.. real hit." Gotti had done hits, that's what moved him up the latter. This was the big one.

Assante is so good in this I’m mad He’s not the real John Gotti. Doing this movie again with Travolta actually makes this movie even better.

At this time in the mob, Gotti had more muscle than Big Paul.

Was like a firework show

Anyone else notice Johnny Sac in the last scene?

Paulie really had the makings of a varsity athlete

1:42 Paulie! Get tha fuck outta here!

3:11 Paulie and Johnny Sack 3:56 are here

That paulie from the soprano

Best Gotti ever.

Right. We went to the barber. Yesterday.

Now this is how it was. With people outside. Why? So they can blend in with the crowd. Gotti 2019.. hey let’s pretend it’s 3am.

Paul Castellano was my great grandfather

*Did John Hinckley work for Carlos Marcello ?*

best gotti film

I was at Sparks last night, and not a single mob related killing did I see.

Fact This was all Sammy the Bull's plan Fact Sammy the Bull was not driving the car past the dead castallano limo..John did Fact The car that Sammy was driving was double tinted so no one could see Sammy or John in the car as they drove right past the limo to make both men were dead Fact Sammy the Bull and Franky put John in power as the boss but with the understanding if John got out of line they would kill him

paulie walnuts hit big paul??? #ironic

Castellano never had the makings of a varsity athlete.

The words spoken by Paul and Tommy can only be pure speculation, for once they left Paul's house they never spoke to anyone else again

Jonny Sac 3.55

Assante the best Gotti hands down

This movie was definitely better than the new Gotti but it has that glitzy shit

Paulie Gualtieri whacked Paul Castellano he he

I'm like a Russian Mobster sipping distilled vodka

I did work in Paulie's house on todt hill....you don't want to use a "Hilti" nail gun damn....!

Cenima gold

Tight… yeah real tight huh

i think pauli playing both sides!

This Gotti is the one!!!

What's Paulie doing working for the New York crew? Guy never had the making of a varsity athlete.

rumor has it that one of the gunmen was Richard Kuklinski. The Iceman.

Is that William Forsythe

Airman Daniel Lee Rendon 93

why did you judge me... why did you judge me.

Frankie deccico was actually made underboss and Sammy consigliere at first

ARMAN ASSANTE!!!!

There's Johnny Zack.❤

Name of song used during hit

Who was that first guy that the hit guys looked at first?

Sammy was a genius! Can’t believe this shit really happened
