I really could care less how pleasant, funny or entertaining this man was, bottom line he devoted his life to crime. He became a major criminal involved in all sorts of crimes including murder. He joined the witness protection program to save his skin.

Tony63909 is absolutely right. Even with Jim Burke dying in jail, he still got to live most of his life like a king. But the fact is, is that most of us regular guys or "suckers", as Henry would view us, couldn't do what these guys did because we aren't cruel and psychotic. And these "wiseguys" have got another thing totally wrong. We hard working folks do have balls, more then them. We, the soldiers, cops, firemen and everyone struggling to provide for their families show the real courage.

Italian dont divorce . They go through thick and thin till death. That's the way it is

" Hey Henry.......you like the legs or the wings? Or do you still go for the ol' hearts & lungs?"

If I never live my country I became like Henry hill. Rest in peace goodfelas

im surprised somebody didnt cap him

Family knows family. His sister nailed it. It's always been about Henry, from Day 1. "If you cornered him, he'd rat you out as long as he didn't get caught." Henry is a great con. Not my hero that's for sure. Far more honorable men walk the earth than Henry Hill. Charmer? Only if you fall for his game.

He never beat his addictions. He drank and used until the day he died.

Who says crime doesn't pay. For being a drug dealer, thief, loan shark and God knows what else including quite possibly a murderer, he got half a million for his life story. There is something wrong with our society.

Apparently he wanted to be alone to run a restaurant but the movie deal changed everything. As a thief, druggie, deadbeat dad, and alcoholic, Hill was a lowlife and pathetic excuse for a human being. His only real redeeming quality was his cooking. I actually cook for a living so I checked out his cookbook out of curiosity and I must say the guy really knew his stuff (I even learned a thing or two myself). He was legit when he ran restaurants which I respect, but I'll only give him that much.

That was a good doc.i never saw it before and I thought I seen them all

Suprised they didn’t talk about Tommy DeSimone at all throughout this whole thing..

what a legend

@Tony63909 You obviously missed the part that the IRS took most of it for back taxes. Who says crime doesn't pay??? I do! The man lived in a dangerous fantasy world all based on hedonism and impulse. He will always have to look over his shoulder. He lost his family, became addicted to drugs, his kids abandoned him, has to earn a living anyway he can. I mean look at the guy. Everything about him says "I threw my life away."

2:48 -2:57 sounds like a politician

Got to love some of the little boys on here calling Hill a 'rat' - as if they themselves are gangsters or believe there is some kind of moral code to be attached to not informing on a bunch of thugs who would kill you as soon as look at you. Grow up. It would be interesting to see how most of the people commentating would react if faced with the torture and murder of themselves and their families. Yes, you would just stand by and watch it happen wouldn't you? Cos you is gangsta!

Yeah there is something wrong with our society life is not fair,and people try to make it in life cutting corners and a lot of people are facinated by henry's story.It was my favorite show as a teenager when it first came out.

and i think the mob wanted him to live out the rest of his days as a miserable person that he is ..and out of a show of class,they let him live on..and surprisingly cuz they did they have fell back into obscurity and have lived on and got a lot of heat off of them .and are probably doing business as usual.

There was an ep on Law and Order where a Henry Hill character was murdered at a fine restaurant during press junket by the daughter of a man he had murdered. She killed him the same way he killed her father to collect on a loan earlier than their deal.

I see your point. I guess it's how you look at it. Because of "Good Fellas, Henry Hill was able to get some lucrative business oportunities. He would have never had such oportunities if he'd have lived a life as a law abiding citizen like most of us. Personally though, I would want nothing to do with anything that would have made Hill a buck.

You could have put him on stage with Vam Halen on their reunion tours and nobody would have known look wise compared to David lee Roth of now.

R.I.P. Henry Hill

but in the movie good fellas it dont say kelly name on there they dont show the full life on henry all they do show in the movie is what he did.

how can someone get arrested so many times and still be out. And Kelly is not with him now

But people who make movies do so for the sole purpose of making money, it doesn't matter what the subject matter is. Hill's life just makes for a fascinating story, as did Jake LaMotta, Lefty Rosenthal, the Dalai Lama, and Howard Hughes when Scorsese made movies about them. Telling a story doesn't require "glorification".

""Would you want to hear about you"? I sure would. I've done things that will impact future generations in a positive way. I have also saved a persons life and I am currently working with a family that had their daughter murdered by her husband.There are other things that I have done that even you would consider "interesting". Just as important as those things is the importance I place in no recognition.There is something wrong with society when a Henry Hill gains celebrity for being a low-life.

He was portrayed different in the movie than in real life

whats the website? lol

@thasnap Joe character was real, there's another documentary on the true story of Good Fellas, I'm actually still looking for it. I saw it on channel 4 one evening, even before i saw this one. That documentary talked about Tommy also.

That what Henry really is, a cook !

@rrhynes idk man alot of people in brooklyn...

baddass of the year

i wonder when this documentary was taken because henry has relapsed and cant even function without alchol now.

im in the life, and believe me, everyone knows where he is.. it doesnt matter anymore as long as he stays away from brooklyn..

That mug shot looks CGIed.

That's what Henry really is, a cook !

Ha! That's pretty damn funny!

everyone of ya would rat out your buddy if you were looking at 25 yrs. dont give me that bullshit. I've done time and learned you dont want to be there. ive seen full grown men cry over going to jail for a weekend yet alone 25 years.

@a1skyline id say hes shaking in his boots!

Present day Henry Hill looks like Wolfgang Puck.

@tupac1421 yeah and he also confessed so his wife wouldn´t go to prison. Sucks that he was addicted to alcohol and drugs.

Of course U would!

KAREN HAD HER WHOLE LIFE AHEAD OF HER, HENRY RUINED HER.

Henry Hill = Legend FACT

I thing the way i see it judg me right or wrong if you want too its the henry were seen not only by the mob but for police and freind or holywood as the litter boy ganster who want to be part of something but in reality the whole world of the street toght its dealing with animals

Overall I feel bad about his relationship with his father.....Hope he's a good father though.

So was jo pesci`s character not real?

Three points: Hill never beat alcoholism; that part isn't true. One of the last interviews he did was in a bar, where he drank right in front of his AA sponsor. "Henry Hill has come to terms with breaking the honor code of the mafia". Well, that would be quite an emotional journey: except Hill had no honor to begin with, so it was easy for him to "come to terms". Finally, there Were gangsters that wanted him dead; and frankly, it's too bad someone didn't drop a dime on Hill's location.

@tupac1421 Well said let's see them go into the mob life.

He was very lucky he didn't get whacked. Im surprised he didn't. What an eventful life he had though

Died June 2012

You do what you gotta to do especially when you know their is a hit out for you! Of course, his problems began when he got into the drugs heavily! Drugs fuck everybody up, no doubt! He betrayed his fellow goodfellas and turned on them for his life! WTF?

I have no love what so ever for organized crime. (Unless I am the organizer...lol). That being said, I do have great love for loyalty, something that Mr. Hill would apparantly know nothing about. Sure, he can justify turning on the mob to save his life, and the lives of his family, but what about turning on his wife, cheating, etc...I would love to talk to the guy, and ask him a few questions.

. Looking over his shoulder? You obviously weren't paying attention from 1:49-2:58. Hedonism and impulse? Because of it, he profits by writing a cook book, opening a web site, hiring a manager, doing a series on his post "Goodfellows" days and become a celebrity. I've worked honorably all my. I haven't had Howard Stern or Hollywood call about my life story. For that matter, I haven't had anyone want to do a documentary about me. Would Hill have these oportunities if he hadn't have been a crook?

Rat stew????

Other then his crimes. I see him no different from the average piece of poop out here walking

u dont need to watch this to know our society is fucked lol.

HH outfoxed them all...Matt

@tupac1421 I would've never broken the fuckin rules either. He knew what he was doing.

I respect your opinion, but I think it sad that you would compare the IRS and the Justice Dept. with the likes of a Henry Hill.

@rrhynes haha thats funny.

Henry's dead now. Oh well.

A few years ago he showed up on The Howard Stern Show begging right there on the air for four ounces of liquor- just enough to get the shakes off! Tom David Minneapolis

@BilboBaghead81 youve never done time

damn irish.

@tupac1421 Change yo name. Don't defile Pac's name. Your new name is Mickey.

lmao.....

Jesus Christ YAHWEH

@KBeneCabs hahahahahaha

He's a total geek

RIP

he had a great wife

There all rats in the end

That is true, but the movie made him a celebrity. He was able to profit greatly from the various business ventures that he dove in to because of the movie. I think Scorsese and hollywood should be ashamed to glorify people like Henry Hill solely for money.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Looks like a jew!

you forgot he almost got killed.. went to jail for years.. got hooked on drugs, and had to relocate all over the country for years.. and had friends murdered, obviously hes gotta get some shit..

Henry Hill died on June 12, 2012 at 69 years of age! Good riddance!
