Goodfellas (1990) | First Time Watching | Movie Reaction 

It was pretty impressive!

@@popculturallychallenged - What's also impressive is that they did that whole 3 minute scene with one long continuous shot, and no cuts.

It’s really not.. it’s good, that’s it.. have you even watched movies?

@@VictorLugosi You have no idea how hard it is to do a three minute continuous take with that many moving parts. Cope

That is so cool! Thanks!

Thank you!

That's so cool! 😃

She also actually painted the picture with the dogs.

It was great! 😃

Cool!

@BigGator5 Some many facts. 🤯

Thanks Gator! Awesome information as always! 😃

You're welcome! 😁 Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍

Drug fact: in real life cops never dip their fingers in drugs and taste them because they have no way of knowing what exactly it is or what it may have been adulterated with.

That's cool! Thanks!

Yeah, mob movies are one area that I'm definitely lacking in. (The other being Horror) I'm not sure why but they just weren't movies I ever watched. Trying to fix that with the channel. :)

That is so cool! 😃

Very bold! 😳

I'll have to look him up! Thanks!

I was going to say the same thing, but was checking to make sure no one else did already.

I still can't believe Ray Lotta died. 😭 I've seen Cocaine Bear listed online but I don't know anything about it. Is it worth checking out?

Incidentally, the real cocaine bear also died, after only absorbing a small amount of what it consumed. That’s no spoiler, though. The movie is… let’s say, very entertainingly embellished. 😉

Cool!

I don't understand. - Toni

@@popculturallychallenged Billy Batts gets out of prison and tells Tommy to "go back home and get his shinebox". Then Tommy leaves and comes back to kill him.

That was a funny part, we just didn’t react very much to it.

Thanks!

Thank you, we have added it to our list. - Toni

I'm surprised short sleeved suits never caught on. 😂 Thanks for the info! 😃

Cool! Thanks for the info!

We've added them both to our list. Thanks! 😃

Interesting.... - Toni

Added to our list, thank you! - Toni

Of course with Steve Martin and Rick Moranis starring, you know it's gonna be a comedy. 😄

I thought I remembered something like that! Thanks! 😃

Thank you so much! We hope you enjoyed the video!

Thanks for the suggestions!

Interesting. Thanks! 😃

That’s an excellent way of putting that. 😂 - Toni

Hope you enjoyed it! 😃

Oh cool! Thanks for the info! 😃

Oh that makes sense. So you want to be "made".... for protection? That's alot of members!! -Toni

@@popculturallychallenged Protection is the main part. Depending the on the Family in question; there could be between 20-500 guys backing you. Now, it should be noted that not all Mafia members are killers; in fact by all accounts only a minority have directly murdered anyone. Plus a lot of Made Men are late middle age to elderly as well, but you still could have 5-100 hardened killers ready to avenge you if you're assaulted or murdered. Plus that's not even counting the wannabes and close associates who would be willing to increase their status or the chance of getting made themselves by killing someone. Also in a lot of places the Mob held a monopoly or near monopoly on a lot of illegal and even legitimate businesses and only members or those closely associated with them were allowed to take part in those businesses. Some examples are vending machines in much of New England and the Midwest were run the Mob and if you tried to start your own company; you would either have to pay a hefty "protection" fee or you just be killed. The New York Families also dominated the garbage industry and the construction industry in New York City, Long Island, and northern New Jersey. The pornography* industry was controlled by the New York Families and the Los Angeles Mafia Family until the mid-90s. Trucking (both short distance and long haul) was controlled by the Chicago Outfit in the Midwest. This provides easy access to a legitimate income with minimal competition. Also in some Families (mostly the smaller and medium sized ones like the Cleveland Family) would share in the profits of Family wide rackets such as a share in the casino skimming operations in Las Vegas. *The internet mostly changed that. The Los Angeles, Gambino, and Colombo Families mostly controlled the production of porn. The Los Angeles Family, the Chicago Outfit, and especially the Gambino Family controlled the distribution of pornography across the US and into Canada. And the Bonanno Family controlled the largest chain of pornographic theaters in the world.

Good info! - Toni

We'll add them to our list! Thanks!

@@popculturallychallenged 😃👍- for "Scarface" the uncut version !!

I've never played that but I may have to check it out!

Cool! Thanks for the info!

I wouldn’t have guessed… I was sure that’s where he should have been cleaning the car. :) -Toni

Good point!

@@popculturallychallenged Henry's testimony got Jimmy convicted of murdering a man named Richard Eaton and Paulie of arranging the no show job that let Henry get early parole from prison.

Adding to our list, thank you. - Toni

I thought we recognized a few people! 😃

And Martin Scorsese has a cameo (as himself) in The Sopranos!

That's interesting, thanks for sharing! - Toni

That is so cool! I'll have to check out that documentary. Thanks! 😃

Got it added to our list. Thank you! - Toni

That's cool!

I can't believe it took me that long to recognize her!

Oh cool!! 😃

Tommy also tried to rape Karen. But because Karen was having an affair with Paulie, this is one of the reasons Paulie allowed the hit to happen on Tommy.

Wow, that's crazy!! - Toni

@@popculturallychallenged Another item of interest. When they’re going through the night club introducing everyone - Micky No Nose, etc. - one of the people they introduce is Michael something or another. In real life it’s Michael Franzese. Michael Franzese has his own RU-vid channel if you want to hear authentic stories of that life. Also, when he was alive, Henry Hill - drunk most of the time - use to go on the Howard Stern show. Those interviews are also on RU-vid.

Wow, that’s pretty cool!! I’ll need to make some time to check it out!! - Toni

They did do a fake making ceremony to lure Tommy in, but they didn't shoot him quickly in the head. In fact Tommy's body was never found.

That would make sense. Paulie was the only person not involved who seemed to know it was Tommy that did it.

Not sure if he ordered it, but probably conceded to it. Tommy was getting to be too much of a liability, and getting worse. He shot some random guy walking around a corner, in broad daylight, because he wanted to try out a new gun he had.

Thank you for the insight, I didn’t know. - Toni

Thank you!

Well there's that... 😂

So true! 😂

That’s a great way of putting that. Thank you!! - Toni

We've got them on our list! Thanks!

We've got it on our list. Thanks!

That is crazy!

Gone too soon. 😢

We'll add it to our list! Thanks!

Thank you very much!

We'll add it to our list! Thanks!

He was great in this! 😃

Thank you! 😃

Agree!

We've added it to our list! Thanks! 😃

😂

What's the difference between the first two? I thought "associate" was the catch-all term for anyone who couldn't be made or hadn't been made yet. Were Jimmy and Henry associates or soldiers?

@@chrishh5777 associate can not be made and soldier qualifies to be made but has not yet achieved that level. Jimmy and Henry were associates and Tommy was a soldier. Jimmy and Henry would never be higher than associate. That being said that does not mean the Lucchese family of which they were a part of did not value them. At the end of the day it is about how much money you bring in and Jimmy was one of the highest earners.

Wow! I never realized there were so many ranks! Thanks for the info! 😃

I'll have to check them out, thanks!

That’s crazy! - Toni

We'll add it to our list! Thanks!

So true! 😂

We both really enjoyed it. 😃

Agreed!

Thanks for the suggestions! 😃

👍

That must have been interesting!!!! - Toni

crazy!! He was nuts in the movie in my opinion. - Toni

Added to our list! Thanks!

@@popculturallychallenged No worries, Anytime! love your reactions 👍

It was awesome!

Another one I saw once and it affected me.

👍

I hope we're half as successful as she's been with her channel! 😃

I think the fact that it was based on a true story is what surprised me the most! 😃

Read "Wiseguy" or ""Wiseguys And Goodfellas" The movie is remarkably accurate.

We've got them on our list! 😃

It's on our list! 😃

I think you're right. I was surprised how many people from the Sopranos were in this!

We need to watch more of his stuff on the channel! Anything that you would recommend? 😃

Thank you so much! 🥰

We'll add it to our list! Thanks!

Still waiting on good will hunting!!

Good point!

👍

Oh wow! Thanks for the info!

The Pringles might actually be softer! 😂

Thanks for the suggestion!

Hey Kevin! Yeah, I don't think I'd make it as a wise guy! 😂 I'm wondering how much of this movie was actual fact and how much was the "Hollywood" version. It seemed so larger than life at parts! 😂

@@popculturallychallenged Oh I totally agree. Hollywood does like to embellish with a lot of "based on truth" movies. Always love your reviews guys.

😂

Thanks for the info! 😃

We agree! - Toni

Added to our list! Thank you! -Toni

I had never thought of My Cousin Vinny as a mob movie. 😂
