Was "The Iceman" based on a true story? What happened to Richard Kuklinski? | A former mobsters POV 

Neither do the MSM

So true

@@treedog86People who watch Fox News are the most misinformed.

Where do I find this interview

@@cheatersrocks It's on RU-vid. Just search "Kulinski park Dietz"

I watched it. The interview with Dietz. I totally agree with you. It really reveals Kuklinski in real time. I personally feel that Kuklinski was not lying about his involvements. He wasn't a liar. As we have learned. Payment is most certainly involved in many instances. With "hired help" non- Sicilians.

@Charles RIGHT?! I miss the old HBO SO FUCKING much. Sopranos, OZ, fantastic documentaries and docuseries... it gone so far down hill. HBO was THE place to pitch a show that was not fit for regular TV. It was not afraid to be controversial. Now, they're so worried about offending anyone they don't make hardly any good original content. It's sad, really.

@@morganr4426 so true. But, why take the time to write gritty, hard hitting, thoughtful work when I can just throw any bullshit script

Freud was weird but not to this extent

I think she was still afraid of him in the beginning of his jail sentence, like somehow he was going to get her if she say something bad about him. But later, she realized , that's it... she will never see him again and can talk freely about everything that she couldn't tell before. She try to leave him but he stab her in the back. It's hard to imagine that trauma and realizing that you are stuck to live with the psychopath. Anyway, Michael analyzing him is as good as Park Dietz's in last part of documentary.

@@sofronije74 you are absolutely right.

It happens dummy

@@sofronije74 This is totally off-topic but did you get your Profile name from the movie -Return to the Valley of the Dolls-?

When your family hates you, you have to be awful human. I have done some really shit things to my family and they still love me, i'm not proud for those things

With a name like Satch you have to question did your family really love you. Of course Iam joking here but... It does make ya think.🤔

From what I heard he never abused his kids because it reminded of his father who he hated the most compared to his mother

@@tonydaza8504 but he threat to kill them and beat their mother all the time

Y’all don’t pay attention to shit. They said they were scared cause they could tell what was inside. But they always felt protected by him. The iceman was a REAL killer. But also a human. He had 2 regrets. And one of them was the things he did and how he ruined his family.

It's the truest statement ever!

Wow

True, all those people i know who are the most fucked up in the head and appear to have some anti social personality disorder, have had a bad and unsafe childhood, usually physical abuse from a parent.

@@riiadejaneiro3766 yesssir and i can vouch. im better off dead tbh

Uh-huh. Well, Jackie Kennedy had a full household staff, including nannies. What she knew about knew about ordinary life wouldn't fill a thimble.

Agreed

Absolutely

They're only a few actors that imo are good no matter what role they're playing even if the movie itself is a shit show. My top favorites that imho always do an awesome are Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, Johnny Depp,Mark Wahlberg, Morgan Freeman and believe it or Will Ferrell. There are alot of good actors out there and I missed a few on this list but some actors are good for only certain types of roles where as a select few are amazing no matter who they're playing

He was a beast on Boardwalk Empire.

Yep! For sure,, his Boardwalk Empire role was awesome,,, if you haven’t seen the movie BUG, check it out... awe man he is crazy in that..

Absolutely. Studies have shown that for those brought up by a single parent, living with just a father is much less likely to result in drug addiction, alcoholism, depression or criminality in adolescence and adulthood, than living with just a mother. I think as a society, we really need to question the default setting of automatically giving custody of the children to the female in a divorce situation.

Government needs to stop incentivising: sex out of marriage, babies killed in the womb, out-of-wedlock birth, children raised by single and same-sex couples.

@@IamFrozenUnderpants I 100% agree. We also need to promote self-respect and respect for life and the principle of personal responsibility!

@@suzannequinson8439 Less access to birth control pills (God only knows the side effects), a----ion (I'm not saying that word) should be illegal entirely. It's the only way to force men and women to think twice before sex out of marriage - to grow up. It's a start at least.

@@IamFrozenUnderpants C'mon less excess to birth control will lead to more fatherless children. I agree with you conservatives on personal responsibility however if make abortion and birth control illegal you would have even more unwanted children. Plus kuklinski was a 1 in a million nut job something in the brain causes this sure background can be a factor however not a key factor

Dont forget Hoffa!!

Rumor has it he whacked JesusChrist

Hahaha 😂

I was actually there when he wacked out Kennedy . I gave him the green light . - Tk Kirkland

The best thing mike ever did it turn to are lord and savior Jesus Christ god bless you

The power of God did.

@Fred Garven Doing protection services for CEOs. I agree

@@javicruzito power of God 🤣 stop the bs

I’m sure Mike was always a pretty stand up guy and pretty honest, even when he was LCN. Obviously, I’m sure he had to do “things” but I’m sure he’s always been this guy and has just been able to fully live his life as this guy post-LCN.

He grifts that is his business

Also, I thought the movie sucked because there were so many inaccuracies, but I guess that's Hollywood!

Yeah yeah you can even say he's a...*goodfella*

Yes until things go bad and it was you or him and his family!!

“ straight up guy “ 🤣🤣🤣LMAO ! Michael is a great speaker & he’s entertaining but he’s a known grifter / pathological liar ... Wake Up don’t be a sucker

Lol!!!! Yeah the kinda guy that would take EVERYTHING from you if he wanted it. Stand up in deed. But now he is a soldier for god.....🙄😅 He would have taken everything and anything from you back in the day if it suited his needs. Fool.

It is all true, damn true

Don't let the truth get in the way of a long yarn.Especially when there is some bugs bunny up for grabs.

I totally agree. His tales/death/documentaries are to the benefit of the Kuklinski family.

He literally killed multiple people

Honestly, after watching three separate documentaries, I think this was the Kuklinski estate gift.

Problem is much of this is probably allowed to go on or something like that. Where there is so much curroption everywhere in a Nation I am afraid theese brutal thugs prob. wohn't be pressured , gode after etc.

Sad thing is. Evil has won. On this plane anyways. It's won in America. The powers that be condoned organized violence while absolutely demanding an organic, grassroots protest be fully prosecuted. I understand this is practically a daily occurrence in South Africa. Also, I understand Russia offered the Boers asylum/haven in Russia. Maybe they should be taken up on that offer. God Bless

@@chriszenko6355 You a real tough guy using that word on the internet, but I'd bet my life you would never say that to an Africans face especially an African American.

Colonialist

Random question from across the pond is it true that akon has either already opened or is opening his own city?seen a few things that he was talking about it then heard nothing else

I actually did see a video clip that he had "allegedly" taken that showed a body in a cave getting eaten by rats. Now, I don't know if that was his doing or not, but it was pretty messed up.

He should've used pigs. Famous Canadian serial killer used them. Killed 40 prostitutes, maybe more. Their bodies was never found.

Grain silos are a yes

@@blacktigerpaw1 yup worked extremely well. Only thing you gotta do is make sure the pigs are starving

@@blacktigerpaw1 I can tell u that since the middle age, big pigs are used for that ... This is not this canadian serial Killer who got the idea 😅 All the sicilian and calabrians mafia used it as well 4 decades. ..

Everyone I’ve seen talk about him seems to be real about it

@sdsdsds dsdsdsdsds it doesn’t make sense because it never happened.

@sdsdsds dsdsdsdsds YOU are spot on ! 👍 I have read three books on this alleged "Iceman " Kuklinski. The first one I reas back in 2008 was so well written that I believed every word. A few years back I read a book where yes, every murder and especially 'contract kill' that Kuklinski boasts about was pure fiction. As Michael F says, " no-one related tothe Italian, Irish or Russian Mafia in his prison knew who he was. Sammy Gravano was the first to out him about 8 years ago and said, "this Kuklinski is full of sh#t !"

Just for the sake of conversation, Lookat what the German officers had there men do in world war two! Machine gun houndreds of civilans and dump them in a ditch , T hen say, i vass youst falling oerders ! ya! Both are products of Hell !

"Someone being real" about someone they never even knew. hahahaha that's a new one .lol.how could anybody be real about someone they never knew existed?

I could see why you would think that but I think James Gandolfini was too animated to play him. Michael Shannon has a more stoic cold empty demeanor to him that fits the role of Richard Kuklinski.

@@CrazyMunky84 Maybe.....but he looks nothing like him. I think James not only looks just like him, or could be made to look identical to him, but I believe he also could have pulled off Kuklinski's personality just as well. People forget just how good of an actor James was; he was a man of many characters. It's sad to think what could have been.....I miss James Gandolfini. RIP.

@@Vladpryde one of my first thoughts when I saw the film too, and given his acting skills could have easily played the role, shame

@@Vladpryde I think Michael Shannon nailed the role personally. James Gandolfini is a legend though and master class actor. He is absolutely missed and may he rest peacefully.

kinda did in true romance

It's that Gemini energy he's got. I'm a Gemini as well and we get passionate about things👌🙏✌️

Because people have been asking about kuklinski for a long time and there's lore about him that's untrue and probably pissed him off to keep hearing about him

@@AC-mb1lp no thats nonsense

Hell yea.

Watch Killing Them Softly

Yep, but he would have had of been thinner

Absolutely!

💯

@@michaelfranzese Thank you for this, I always figured Kuklinski was lying about his Mafia claims. He seemed to be like Henry Lee Lucas, he was a murderous sociopath already doing life, and figured he would make up a bunch of stuff for attention. Eventually they got movies made about them. Roy Demeo seemed like he would be the last person to need to pay for outside help in committing murders. The stories about him and his crew are pretty disturbing.

@@michaelfranzese please do boardwalk empire

@@michaelfranzese hey mike his brother died in Trenton state prison also. ...As always thank you for including the Gospel brother

You are incredible to listen to Micheal! Im glad your around to make these videos and for your own sake. Take it easy friend ✌️☮️💕

Agreed it's always great to hear the word of god.never cease to be amazed by the shear variety of forms his word comes in.ive posted this elsewhere n I'll say it agn here cuz I'm sure many wud luv it if u checked out the show 'peaky blinders'.same goes for everybody.awsome gangster drama.v authentic

Amen!

He is a piece of shit and I dare him to say he was friends with the Italians!!

He did not call BS. He is saying this man killed a lot of people. He is saying he is a monster. He was.

@@lordoffaiyum9727 The whole pathological liar part? That's calling out his BS.

@@lordoffaiyum9727 but he wasn't a mafia hitman.. So he was a Billy BS

@@lordoffaiyum9727 he was 100% calling it BS. Do you need everything spoon fed to you? Jesus Christ.

That sums him up pretty well. Claims to of killed hundreds but in reality he abused his family and killed a few of his business partners.

Lmao

"All dem dinosaurs back then? I killed em."

That’s a good one 😆

@@ThomasJones-ij6hv and a handful of randos

Holy crap, yes 😅

I am speaking to you cos no one else has. I worked with psychopaths for many years and in general they tell lies. They don't need to because they have done terrible things but they do. I think The ice man killed people but never worked for the mafia.

Well Tom, I’m glad you’re still here with us after meeting that demented monster.

Being abused by your parents that badly won’t produce a nice man.

richard was horribly abused for his whole life, his eyes may have been dead but the man wasnt evil he was destroyed absolutely.

That’s still not an excuse.

He was never a loving Father or Husband. Loving Father's and Husband's do not frighten their Wives and Children and certainly do not murder other human beings for money or out of temper. His family were only ever used to create an illusion to deter police from investigating him. He was the ultimate scumbag

yeah a total psycho who lacks morality

Yes. And Family was scared of him.

Yeah i'm not sure "immature" is the right word for him. he's just another example in my mind of how you can make someone a psychopath. A brutal childhood, abuse from both parents. His brother also did life for a horrible murder.

@@GretaGargoyle yeah I said immature cause the dude would brag about killing people to his family, but no doubt that his childhood contributed to his callousness

Immature low life who hurt people with no remorse

The opposite is true in this case. Kuklinski and his siblings were raised in a strict authoritarian Catholic household, and he was beat by both his parents. His brother Florian was killed by a beating by his father (Florian unlike "Charley Lane" the teen bully he claimed to kill) actually exists and dissapears from census records. They shared a birthday. It's people like you who think "spare the rod spoil the child" who turn people into abusers.

So does every other mobster wanting a movie of themselves

@@chuckkiephan6880 yeah except Michael is a mob boss, one of the only survivor from the old days.

For sure I'd definitely watching it I would love to see a sit down with Sammy the bull there story's would be extremely interesting

I dont know about directing. But definitely have him tell you what the life is and do it. Don't try to make it more dramatic or typical Hollywood bs. Just listen then do it

Played by Markwalberg

Well said. I am very impressed by Michael and especially am happy to hear him speak at least peripherally of the gospel.

That's a good man! Different times ! Respectable man!

Which Michael 🤔

Yep. He's not over the top - he still looks at some of it with nostalgia and has respect for certain aspects of the life but he's clearly not ignorant at all.

Michael is obviously intelligent..I think he knows how to express himself in a way that resonates with people but make no mistake..he was and by default IS capable to do whatever it takes to get what he wants..I don’t need to know him personally to state that..the same way that Michael doesn’t need to know kuklinski to say what he is saying..people are all the same..one way or the other

What?

That’s so horrible 😣

and the fact he was beaten as a child... cyclical.

Wow, on other YT videos about him, his ghoulish fans (who think he was in the mafia & that they know their stuff) said he loved his family. If that's love, count me out

Which book is this, I'd be interested in reading it. Thanks 😊

OR, they are serial killers.

I wonder if they say that so the cops stop looking for the actual other hitman just content they got the killer in jail already. I found out recently they convicted and incarcerated an innocent man as the Scarborough Rapist in Toronto so that means they just said oh we got him and stopped looking for Paul Bernardo who just moved to St. Catherines area kept raping and then murdering too of course the innocent guy accused was also a victim but of the faulty justice system instead and Pauls future victims too since the cops enabled Paul by not even looking for him anymore and framing some poor sap.

Prayers for you.. ..God is real, So is Satan. 🙏

@@JesusIsKing248 Your prayers mean nothing cause nothing is real, only the end. God is a comcept flaunted by the near mad, and the already mad flaunt the devil in rebellion against an eternity of subserviant apes bent on demolishing the fabric of humanity. Praise nothing but thought and the animal will, and shed ideology, because your prayers insult our souls.

@@ClosedEyeVisualisations, you wrong

So true

There are several RU-vid channels that cover Kuklinski. The Behavior Panel has 4 body language experts who analyze his interviews. The Darkness Underneath podcast has several videos containing hours of information methodically going through his claims. He even has a video clip I saw over 20 years ago of Detective Mccabe NYPD who stated the producers of the original HBO documentary contacted him and when he told them he investigated his claims and was able to debunk most they never called him back.✌️

Omfg YES!!!!! please do “analyze this....”

Yay!

Hit the pillow. Bam Bam Bam. "You know Doc, I feel a lot better".

I felt a lot of that book was embellished because he was dying of cancer and once he was gone nobody could verify it

Don't forget, Richard was also (supposedly) part of the crew that took out Carmine Galante during the hostile takeover of the Bonnano family. It's like he wanted to cast himself as the Forrest Gump of NY organised crime.

@@Paddy.C Ha, I forgot about that one. Well, when the mob needed someone whacked, they called the best of the best. "Iceman" had a special line in his house just for those secret missions. 10 mill a head and he worked for everyone. Wonder if The Outfit contracted him out for any hits and how many shots he fired from the grassy knoll.

dude literally pretends like he had anyhting to do with mob and you talking about henosty...this guy is a scammer not honest

@@divacroft1034 how would you even know that? Sammy The Bull knows Michael is real.

Seriously. There was nothing there....just a shell with a heart and lungs.

Bruh I felt like I was staring into the abyss ... like nobody was there

True

And the scariest thing is...there's others somewhere that just like him, just never heard of. Hope on hope you never run into any of them but yeah I'm sure his not the only one of that kind in the crazy world of ours

ya the part esspecially where he said he fed living people to rats ... what a nephilim he was

diz guy, wit da udda one wit da peppaz toppa da hut two cawfees

He really is pure class.

I still love the movie it’s one of my favorites

not when you start at the age he says he did, I think he considered it his job and he was out to be the best in the business .

If you added up the death count reported in bios and on Wikipedia, 857,000 people a year would have been murdered in New York alone.... Even MF has said, where/who are all these dead people? There is no way Kuklinski or Scarpa killed over 100 people each... Just didn't happen.

@@anthonysaponaro6318 No.. he was making it up.. did you watch the video?

@@tomiasthexder7673 I could be wrong but I think he was referring to where are all these dead wise guys? but it definitely is not impossible and when dealing with black lifeless souls such as these , taking an average of 10 lives a year is not such a difficult task , especially in NY . . . . . . has the bored to death man in prison, who gets no form of stimuli from taking life at will embellished any of the stories or numbers ? Entirely possible. I also wouldn't be so fast to say he hasn't or has

@@tomiasthexder7673 The part where he talks about Kuklinski working with those 5 families and why they would pay 5 or even 6 figures to take someone out when they got 90 guys with nuthin to do makes sense

@@RobertIsraelKabakoff ahhh yes youre right, i had forgotten about that.

@@stayhungry1503 ya good point. Definately not a mellow presence. He comes across more like a time bomb

Ain't nothing fugazi about Kuklinski.

@@realgsdontdie5095 he's a proven liar lol

Very true. Try finding one instance of people being eaten alive by rats. There are none. It wasn't an audio cassette recorder, it was a video camera. In 1984 I bought a top of the line camcorder that could record for 90 minutes and that includes flipping the tape at 45 minutes. He must of invented lithium batteries and the digital format decades before everyone else. Sammy the Bull gave him a flip phone in 1980. Those didn't come out til 1995. I had a bag phone in 1987. In 1980 cell service was limited to small areas of a few major cities. They weren't portable and were installed in cars for about 10k (36k in todays money). The Darkness Underneath podcast on RU-vid does a great job methodically going through his claims with several videos containing hours of information. He even has a video clip I saw over 20 years ago of Detective Mccabe NYPD who stated the producers of the original HBO documentary contacted him and when he told them he investigated his claims and was able to debunk most they never called him back.

Exactly why he was so mis cast as Elvis.

Ditto 😊

I second that!!
