No kidding this guy is a legend. He not only got the money and fame at a young age but also managed to exit the mafia life safely and to this day, continues to exploit it. No one has ever been like that and get away with it.

With the gas prices now, Nobody would be angry with Michael Franzese.

Michael Franzese still answers questions the same, without answering them.

In his 30s he looks 19, in his 70s he looks 40. What the hell is in that bloodline? Dad lives to 103, Michael is gonna be 120 years old

He's branching out. He did Cleaver.

Skimming the tax off gas was brilliant. Franzese was hardly a 'hoodlum', as the first clip described him. Criminal yes, hoodlum no.

Mike Franzese: "As some of you know, I have 9 films under my sub-species"

Appears to me, Mr. Franzese's gasoline enterprises were basically robbing the robbers.

Franzese said when they were giving him the Keys to the city, he was at the same time stealing illegal tax money from the gas scam he had going on there lol.

He wasn't a regular mobster this guy was special

Mike looked like a dentist back then lol. Looks like a mob boss now

This is dope. He really stayed under the radar and was a good earner. The FBI hated him because they couldn’t get him and they went at him hard.

"The movie stars Sammy Davis Jr. and is about life in the ghetto.....and breakdancing". Now if that isn't an Oscar worthy plot then I don't know what is.

What about Google and Amazon avoiding taxes? I have respect for Michael. He never was a rat.his plea deal didn't involve anyone.

I don’t feel bad about the government not getting “the tax”/their cut..just saying

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how young Sonny Franceze looks? Hes pushing 70 here and was in prison for decades but looks mid to late forties at most. And his son Michael is the same. 70s now looks like hes in his 50s. What is it with this family? You know when i heard the phrase:"crime never gets old" this wasnt exactly what i had in mind.

I wonder if at this moment, he knew he'd have a youtube channel years later talking about ''Mob Movie Monday"

"Suspected mafia ties" while he was the captain of the Colombo family lmao

Taxes that shouldn’t be there in the first place,good job Michael.

That Mike Franzese guy looks fresh as hell. He could start a KZfaq channel!

Michael franzese is one of the rare cases where a big shots son actually came through and was a bigger shot himself. The man is sharp as a razor blade and I have no doubt he could be successful as a wise guy again but thankfully he's now a man of GOD.

its funny when guys say Michael wasnt a real Mobster but it seems "He is following the footsteps of his father " His father was a well respected man.

Who would ever imagine Michael interviewing in his sit-downs Giuliani

Michael redeemed himself and we all agree and accept his redemption, he is badass for 1980s

When are people going to start properly pronouncing Michael and Sonny's last name????

At this stage, they should make a tv series on Michael Franzese and Sonny Franzese live stories. Imagine HBO, Showtime, Paramount Series having such a series. Also, Michael was very smart in front of the camera even then. Someone who prefers to use his mind more than his mouth.

I think it'd be neat if Michael on one of his video took this footage and made comments.. what was going on off camera.. his thoughts, etc.

It's no wonder this guy was a boss at such a young age. He made the mafia a ton of money.

That mansion shown at the beginning of the video is insane..bigger than big paul white house

3:41 I'll never stop loving these glasses. Also young Michael looks borderline adorably harmless. Look at that boy!

Franzese made the classic mistake Gotti did. He lived way too high off the hog. You can't act like that and not expect a ton of attention. He even admits today that it was immature and stupid of him. It's interesting because he always seems like a pretty level headed, savvy guy, but he couldn't keep himself from staying out of the limelight. You'd figure a guy as bright as he would have known that was a cardinal rule to break. Ironically, it's not a business for big egos. I remember a story about Carlo Gambino. He bought a new Cadillac, and a few people complimented him on the car. After he got a few compliments, he got rid of the car. There is a reason he held so much power and never spent any significant time in jail.

This fight was more of a "government mob vs italian mob" than "justice vs mob"

Micheal franzese is a legend, he produces some great content on his KZfaq channel.. can't fault him!

Interesting how Michael's accent has changed over the years, the way he spoke sounds completely different when he was in the mafia being interviewed compared to present day on KZfaq.

Honestly I'm so glad he's alive, Michael wrote books makes videos about the mob and is an entertainer, he's such a kind person he even went out of his way to like posts on Instagram about him, including MY post that contained my drawing of him! I'm truly thankful to be acknowledged by a guy who's had so much history, and a life where only a movie could contain.

From mob star to KZfaq star. I guess Michael just has a natural charisma that causes him to be famous.

They can't even pronounce Michael's name correctly LOL

Michael Franzese sure lived a full life

The gas scam was brilliant

If you think about it, he's a hero in a way. He was able to reverse the tide against the government and steal the tax revenue that they also wanted to steal.

i notice that he doesnt actually deny it when they put forward the allegations that hes part of the columbo crime family lol.

The mayor of Miami giving the keys to the city to a mobster. Corruption? It's crazy how they knew so much about him, his name was too hot in the streets.

He’s the smartest mobster ever!

That suit, an ode to the 80s 🤌 🇮🇹

ive been looking for these clips for years and then it just pops up lol

Really appreciate this channel 🙌

Did he say he produced “deep throat”?? 🤣 😂

Young Michael Franzese is simultaneously very odd looking, yet at the same time, completely normal looking.

This is some dope footage!

Great work

Mike is the most legit in this mob you tube talking era. He is certified and its right in front of our face. He fucked with the heavy....heavy weights

I had no idea Texas chainsaw massacre was a mob funded movie

The main extortionist, which is the government can't have competition.

Mike franzese was a brilliant businessman and a master at patience and discipline...

"Took classes like Billiards and water coloring" 😂😂😂

That track suit he's got on at 4:10 where he got pinched is 💯🔥🔥

Micheal was that nigga fr I thought he was lying in the interviews😂

Police: Michael Franzizi, you are arrested. Michael: I’m Michael Franzese Police: oh sorry about that, wrong guy, good day Sir!

Love this channel 🤙🤞. Best mob channel.

Praise the Most High that Mr. Franzese made it out that life. The Father saw him through.

Lmao the government acting like WE THE PEOPLE were missing out on that money is fucking priceless lmfao they are more crooked with our money than any criminal organization in the country 😂

A man who can tell slight variations of the same 4 stories and avoid critisicm deserves a tip of the cap.

great video !

Why is there not a movie about mr franzese, a fascinating man that has lived a life that could be right out of a movie.

Closest we have for real life Tommy Vercetti.

Michael looking like a Vice City character I mean idk how you didnt think you would be followed by law enforcement dressing like that lol

Michael is a class act.

Michael looks like he cd be a seminary student, with the gold trim glasses, the chewing gum, the hair do. I love it!!! 😂😂♥️

3:31 I noticed Michael never gets worked up and always remains cool. Zimmerman got heated and stormed off while he calmly answered the interviewers question with a non answer

"THIS COMMITTEE OWES AN APOLOGY, SENATAH!!!"

It’s crazy they where even able to move being under constant surveillance

I love Michael Franzese…..a damn legend

Michael says he never did drugs, and that may be true, but I find it kinda hard to believe that he didn't do at least a little coke in the 80s. I like him though, he's a very intelligent human being.

The mayor and the Police Dept are delighted to have you 😂😂

And now he has a KZfaq channel lol. This special reminded me of the episode in The Sopranos where Christopher Moltisanti made a movie.

Man look at that house Michael built from the ground up.

The 80s looked cheesy af but I wanna go there and hangout for a while

when nbc was actually a news show

Michael has so much charisma. It's crazy. RU mob tho ? Not so much.

the gangsters in the us government were mad that they didn't get there gas tax cut

Never admit the existence of this thing of ours!

Mike Franzeze is my Hero!!! The Government is the Biggest Mafia. Mike is [ Robin Hood] of the Gasoline industry.

Another documentary your channel so amazing brother if it want for your channel I never see these mobs how they live before thank you very much 🎉

None of those movies could hold a candle to the Oscar nominated epic film named "Cleaver'.

This man has a amazing story! And still is a high earner to this day, he'll most likely die rich free and rich.

Michael Franzese the master in scamming the scammer ✌

Great Stuff as Usual

Omg news felt so real back then

now this guy is a youtuber.

It cracks me up how Franzese chomps gum. I just pick up real arrogance out of it.

"Felix Short" was probably thinkin... dont ask me shit yall im busy

Pretty good watch. Michael definitely looked and acted cool

Blessing from the Vatican and the Key to the City 🤣🤣🤣

They should have left the movie business in the Mafia hands they're much better than communist we have today

It would be peak irony if Rudy Giuliani ends up the one in prison while Franzese retires a free a man.

Michael Franzese is IMO the smartest mobster there has been in this country.

Tax evasion: the biggest crime out there.

One of the smartest mobsters that did his time and never snitched .

Michael, a few years ago said that when he got that key to the city he was at that time stealing tax money from the city.
