He is def a good actor

Anthony Quinn as Neil Dellacroce was the real star for me. He was brilliant!

I think I've watched this movie about 100 times I love it, and I consider myself a huge film nerd, this really is an underrated movie and I absolutely love it

He's definitely up there with the greats. He was fantastic in the 1990 film, Q&A.

You are so right! Him and Anthony Quinn showed out in this movie!

But still totally overshadowed by Anthony Quinn.

Assante was amazing. But Quinn owned each scene

I also liked Tom Seizmore.

🎯

@@mattystacks7226 fact ..

He a better gotti than gotti himself lol

No one else can play gotti better than him.

He played the hell of gotti I watched the movie and thought he was the real John gotti for a second

We’re all looking forward to it, it would be magnificent

Michael Franzese I Hope so we haven’t seen a good mob movie in a long time I am looking forward to it

@@michaelfranzese Salute from Europe Romania Europe city Constanta! Respect !🙏

what, about stealing gas tax money? wouldnt be exciting enough by michaels own account. he cant say he was involved in this murder and this hit and this and that crime. he has to keep his story simple and low key while hes alive. now a story about his dads life now that would be something. title the movie simply, "SONNY"....

I think Jim Caviezel would play a good Michael...or Daniel Day.

true

William forsythe is just so good as a gangster. Always. His only bad rendition would have to be his version of Flat-Top but even that is supposed to be a goofy portrayal

@@ItDiedOnDaVine agree 100%. Remember him doing a great job in the late 80s/early 90s Untouchables TV show as Al Capone. He was as intimidating in that series too even with that era's restrictions on what could be shown on TV. Was also BRILLIANT as Jewish gangster Manny Horvitz in HBO's Boardwalk Empire, one of my favorite cable shows ever.

@@blindmelonstubbly lol I used to LOVE that movie back in the day! Very campy but very entertaining with solid acting despite the 2 dimensional plot.

Agreed, from one Castillo to another!

Thats not just Gotti's neighborhood. That was NYC and the surrounding area that had mob presence. People can say what they want about organized crime, but the truth is when the Italians ran things, the nation ran smoother. All the fuck up we have now are the result of government and corporations running things that the Mob had running efficiently.

You know this is exactly the same as this guy spoke about east london when the Krays were kicking about. It was this old bus driver i met, he told me the stories of when he was a young boy in east london, the streets were safe, noone would break in, noone would rob them. The krays, bad Men as they were, kept the place in check

The Krays and Gotti wanted a monopoly on bullying people

@@joedwyer3297 maybe it’s a good thing having the mafia run the underworld there’s law and order for them

They where a government, but that was actually harsh and not harassing people who where just civilians.

Both fine actors

No doubt. Can't forget Willaim Forsythe as Sammy Gravano. All three parts played to perfection.

@@Israel-nb7ip Oh God yes. He was tremendous as Gravano. The chemistry with the cast was great. They played their parts well and played off each other tremendously.

This movie had 3 of the most underrated performances in mob moviedom. Armand Assante, Anthony Quinn and William Forsythe were all fantastic. Great supporting cast with Dominic Chianese, etc. as well.

When Neil told him he would of came thru wit these 2 Zips

Family genes

Good Italian genes

My father has Iberian blood and he is 73, most people think he is in his 50's. Many generations of living in hot countries so their skin is probably more resilient to the UV rays (which thin and age skin). One thing I noticed whilst visiting Rome (other than a hot Italian police-woman who literally looked like a supermodel in police gear), the locals didn't get bitten much by mosquitos.

He probably dyes his hair. Makes him look younger

You are kidding. He looks so young.

Method acting at its finest. Up there with the likes of De Niro and Al Pacino.

Beatle Stories He wasn’t attending his trial for a movie role. He has a interview where he speaks on it. Ppl told him he resembled gotti so he attended the trial so he can actually see him for himself in person.

Kingston Blandin Why would anyone tell him that? He looks nothing like Gotti.

Neg Ative well being that Gotti himself gave the film a thumbs up. I’d say that’s enough

Assamte wanted to meet with Gotti in prison, but Gotti refused the request. He wasn’t in favor about the movie.

Antony qiunn !!

Facts

they were hand picked out of a shinebox

Johnny Sack and Frank Cubitoso

Talkin like borko, whatever happened there

And prettyuch every other mov movie. Most of them were also in good fellas.

I COULDN'T BELIEVE TRAVOLTA KNOWING THAT HE IS A SCIENTOLOGIST AND FUDGE PACKER ! HE'S MORE GAYER THAN P.DIDDY AND LIL WAYNE !!

nickyscarfo1 ...what

Totally agree with you. Great wrting and acting.

who said it is underrated?

I watched this film on sunday. It is easily the most underrated mafia film.A million times better than the Travolta one.The one that i liked and also thought was underrated was A Bronx Tale.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Actor of actors

HBO was putting out gr8 films. Ving Rhames n the Don King movie won an award

Did you know Mr Neil?

Would of came thru wit these 2 Zips

And his son Francisco Quinn. Gone to soon at 48.

He scared the hell out of me in this scene. He was extremely convincing.

Revenge 1990

He was also great in JUNGLE FEVER by Spike Lee, playing racist Italian father

From what I hear about the real Mr. Neil, Anthony Quinn made him appear far more lovable than irl. The real Me. Neal was as cold as ice from what I read.

You and preplex news should collab and do a show mundo from the Mexican mafia runs that channel if I’m not mistaken that would be something else two old school real mafiosos comparing similar lives would be something else

Dude it’s addicting he’s such a smart guy

Thomas Coursey 100% agree

We do, people on the other side of his pistol back in his day didn’t 😂

When he says a mob movie is legit, he might just have some expertise in that regard. I've never seen this one but just the clips look better than that Travolta movie.

@@dublinsfaircity My Father grew up on Kenmare Street in Little Italy. He was bus boy at Neil's coffee shop. When my Father watched this film he said Quinn nailed Neil down pat. The eyes, the facial expression, the breathing. When he was being serious with a person he made it known how serious he was with little effort.

@@dublinsfaircity yeah he was the second most powerful mobster in new york after carlo gambino. it was said that delacroce was probably more powerful than the bosses of the other four families and delacroce was only the underboss of the gambinos.

@Mike Knight mafia from sicily

@Mike Knight any made guy who was born in italy and not usa. or a made guy who was inducted into the mafia in italy as opposed to usa.

@Mike Knight you might be wondering why the need for zips in usa well some mafia bosses most notable carlo gambino and carmine galente used them as bodyguards because they have no attachments or connection to made mafia guys in usa so therefore no great chance of being betrayed or set up by your bodyguards as is usually the case when a boss gets hit. though having said that it turned out that when carmine galente got hit it was his zip bodyguards that sold him out and set him up. they are also seen as being more disciplned than american made guys and are used to do the bosses bidding to keep made american guys in line when enforcing is needed. an example of this is shown in the sopranos when tony soprano goes to italy to arrange the transfer of furio to the new jersey mob to be his personal bodyguard and driver.

He's a gifted actor and very funny.

He was in a great movie about a 50's doo wop group Looking for an Echo about the real group Kenny Vance & the Planotones .. One of my favorite movies !!

I think gotti himself ask to have armand play him

Great movie

AQCE awesome! I didn’t no that!

Yes and in American gangster with Denzel Washington

Travolta

@@jamesdonoughue4557 Travolta? Hahahaha

@@jamesdonoughue4557 He was horrendous.

@@patrickmorrissey3084 clearly don't appreciate world class method acting

Agreed. He was great in this role.

And thats what mean , by piece of mind. You know some of these guys i work with ,they're not enlightened ! They never heard of civil rights

Totatally very good actor plus it had most of the sopranios cast in it very good movie

I’m gonna agree 100%

Nothing like gotti at all

@Ryan Akwar he still went home to get his fuckin shinebox.

@83rdox took an academic leave anyway

Tony had a panic attacks cos of what u said 😂

He should go get the petrol go get the petrol 😄

Its ironic past being a simple sopranos joke because really WAS a varsity athlete in high school and his first year of college before he had to join the family biz. Haha. Js

easy --- the older version is a classic

Agreed, Travolta just didn't have it like Armand Assante, Assante was absolutely brilliant!!!

Travolta's Gotti was a huge disappointment.

John Travolta is a pillow biter!

Kept waiting for Travolta to start dancing to “Staying Alive”.

Joe McKim Travolta was so bad I cried

Travolta was actually way more accurate to how Gotti really was but it was a bad movie. Armande was much better but less accurate to how John was personally.

@@flightofthebumblebee9529 Travolta used to be great. But i can't remember the last time he was good in a movie. He was good in the OJ Simpson American Crime Story miniseries.

@@flightofthebumblebee9529 Not according to Michael, and he should know.

@@joemckim1183 He was good in the punisher

It’s mostly an old timer old school thing that began with the old Sicilian bosses that only viewed their fellow Sicilians as trustworthy mafiosi and discriminating against them, so back in the day there was some bad blood between Sicilians and Napolitans

its age old adage in la cosa nostra sicillians are seen as royalty in la cosa nostra italians ie neapolitans were viewed as just good for muscle work and enforcing. before 1930 main land italians couldnt get into la cosa nostra in usa you had to be sicillian however the great mafia war in usa CASTELLAMARESE WAR needed more recruits couldnt get enough sicillians so decide to recruit main land italians ie of naples descent. as a result mobsters such as costello.genovese,valachi who were all italian but not sicillian were able to get made thanks to liberal minded sicillians like luciano and to a lesser extent salvatore maranzano. if you read the valachi papers which in my opinion is the original and best book on the mafia in usa explains the distinction between sicillians and italians. JOE VALACHI TOLD HIS FRIEND DOMINIC THE GAP PETRELLI THAT HE WANTED TO JOIN LA COSA NOSTRA AND PETRELLI TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS MAINLY SICILLIANS AND THAT SICILLIANS WERE TREACHEROUS IN THAT IF YOU WERE FRIENDS WITH A SICILLIAN FOR 20 YEARS AND YOU HAD AN ARGUMENT WITH A STRANGER WHO WAS SICILLIAN IN THE STREET YOUR SICILLIAN FRIEND OF 20 YEARS WOULD TAKE THE SIDE OF THE STANGER WHO WAS SICILLIAN AGAINST YOU. believe you me the book THE VALACHI PAPERS is the best read on the mafia in usa from 1929 to 1970. all that we know about the mafia in usa came firstly from joe valachi in my opinion all other mafia books afterwards are just cashing in on what joe valachi started. its the original and still the best. to this day sicillians still look down their noses at italians in NEW YORK.

Take it easy kid

They are 2 different organisations.. Diff structures.. Cammora is in naples, cosa nostra is in sicily

@@nikko.lottsahcocc6917 even Furio on the Christopher Columbus episode expressed how the northern Italian stuck their noses up to the sicilians.. " I never Iiked Columbus"- Furio -

Same here. Mob Movie Monday is now a thing.

I'm getting ready to watch in an hour or so!

Now I have to watch it too because it looks intense & comes highly recommended.

Where did you rent this? Can't find it anywhere

@@DirtyDanF117 C'mon, KZfaq

Witness to the Mob

@@maxfieldnuckels9075 Witness to the Mob is horrible, this one is much better.

“Too This Day”

Hell yea im gonna watch it

Yes watched it on KZfaq yesterday

When Gotti was mad Paul didn't come 2 pay his respect & did that turnaround, u knew it was on!

The Sopranos took a lot of material from Michael's autobiography Quitting the Mob. I'm sure he'll get to it eventually.

john travolta was made for saturday nite fever.not gotti.so many other choices for gotti psssh unreal...

I liked the Travolta movie. It wasn’t mind blowing but I liked it. I think it suffered from choppy editing and too much philosophical overtone. It was a little all over the place but worth a watch.

Yeah I nearly fell asleep during it -

AGREED. best mob movie.

I think Fonzie would have been a better Gotti ?!🤤

@@michaelfranzese Do you have any idea who I am? The Travolta Gotti movie was better please review it!

James Nah, definitely not

He's pretty brutally honest about his life as well & I appreciate that he talks about his experiences & that lifestyle & how destructive it can be. God bless him for being willing to share what's he learned.

Travolta was terrible everyone in that movie was terrible John rolling over what his kids did to his legacy.

It’s on KZfaq

this is a very good movie...

It'll be hard for a mainstream audience to take seriously though with all the Oddfather stuff.

MrAitraining the chin, Roy demeo and the gemeni lounge , the Westies etc any mobster besides gotti.

He was behind the attempted murder of Gotti.

Forget the chin it’s all about Albert Anastasia Boss and big time killer
