He said that in caddyshack as well,its a Rodney Dangerfield saying.He wasnt very young though,he was actually a late bloomer and late to showbiz but this was his peak!You never know when it could be!
Their buddy in the blue jacket at the bar is actor Tom Noonan, who was Oscar-worthy as psychotic killer Francis Dolarhyde in "Manhunter", the first and least known movie in the Hannibal Lector series. It was re-made as the forgettable Red Dragon.
I was behind a guy like that yesterday at the betting window. He was up there asking questions instead of making his bet. It made me think of this scene.
Way, way back in the day when my college buddies and I would go to the track we'd quote this scene whenever someone was stalling at the ticket window. And you gotta love the clerk: Ten seconds to post and he decides it's the appropriate time to explain gambling vernacular.
most tracks should have the following betting instuctions.Have your money ready,after you make your bets , limit conversations.Also do not handicap at betting window!!!
That’s Bill “showbiz” Popfinger as the driver who went “water skiing”. Still alive today, he holds the distinction of being the only trainer ever to win a race every year at Pompano Park in Florida, where this was filmed. The track being called “Hoover Downs” was an inside joke about how racetracks “vacuum “ up their patrons money.
Whenever I’m telling a story and I’m trying to illustrate that someone is taking a long ass time to do something, I always quote this scene. So damn good.
I love that the jockey wasn't satisfied with throwing first place and tanked it all the way to the back. Every scene and line in this movie is classic.
It actually ran about 10 seconds over on the post time. At the 15 second call it was off by about 1 second, but at "not more bets" 40 seconds had past. Just sayin'.
Those kids in their little sports car got off easy Nikki could have gotten out of the van with a pen and killed a whole lot of them in a manner of minutes
Pesci and Dangerfield should have done more comedy films together .
Great films 80's style.
"Let's go while we're young". I still say that when I'm stuck in a line or waiting too long.
Same here
What are you, buying a house?! Let’s go!!

"Nicky, take care of this."
Fucking classic.
His smile when Rodney says it. Love it.
Who wouldnt want a friend like Nicky
Especially if you ever needed to put a guy's head in a vise.
This movie is a classic!

He was also a serial killer in Last Action Hero.
Also Frankenstein in The Monster Squad
Classic movie. One liner after one liner. Without a doubt on par to any British comedy.

“You dragged me out here you little bastard, l love ya”
This is literally my favorite part of the movie. Look at him he thinks he's water sking
The best part of the movie is when they're at the Mexican restaurant and Monte gets his Jr. salad and his buddies pick off his olives!!! 🤣
Guy passed out at the bar at 2:30 in the afternoon @ 0:24 - CLASSIC!
He looks like the actor that played John Nance in 'Casino'
Two Thirty? Time for the Chinese man to see the dentist.
I love how the bartender guy was all for nicky attacking the rider lmao “go Nicky get him Nicky go go go!”
Val Avery. ...he was a good actor. Did a lot of TV. He was REAL good in a 1974 Kojak episode.
Step on his face!
John Miller Val Avery was also great in The Wanderers!

"He's too far ahead to lose"...
Me my buds use this line all the time when a team loses a big lead!!
"Let's go while we're young"...quote from Caddyshack
I'm going to Hawaii, I'm going to Hawaii...I'm NOT going to Hawaii
Jason Cataldi look at him he thinks he's water skiing
HILARIOUS...
Love this hysterical gem.
I wish one of these youtube reactors would actually step up and do a reaction to this classic.
Come on, what are you buying a house!. Classic
I still use that line in 2024
@@tillman40me too
NICKY TAKE CARE OF THIS HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA
Everyone needs a Nicky in the squad
Lol!
Good Bless Nite Everyone Happy Bless Sunday I Love This Movie Easy Money Forever
I love that the jockey wasn't satisfied with throwing first place and tanked it all the way to the back. Every scene and line in this movie is classic.
“And I was going to buy a new neon sign”
Hahahahahahaha
I used to work as a para mutuel teller at Pimlico and Laurel in Maryland. Damn, I remember guys like this. Driving everyone batshit crazy.
I'm going to Hawaii I'm going to Hawaii... He's falling back. I'm not going to Hawaii.
"STEP ON HIS FACE THAT SON OF A BITCH!!!"
That was great when Nicky went after the jockey lol
I love this movie!
This movie was released August 83.
Holy SHIT!! It's JOE PESCI!! 😏
My god this is just like harness racing in real life it's frightening .great scene.
Everytime I see a parking spot I ALWAYS think to a driver nearby......"Better not pull a Monty Capuletti on my ass!!!!"
I've never seen the track so busy, the 70's must have been something.
Before OTBs
What are ya buyin a house??
This was quality comedy.
If Joe Pesci was in "Goodfellas" or "Casino" mode, that jockey would be D E A D. LOL
I can't believe I have never seen or heard of this film 🤦 .
It actually ran about 10 seconds over on the post time. At the 15 second call it was off by about 1 second, but at "not more bets" 40 seconds had past. Just sayin'.
The time given for post time isn’t exact, the windows close the second the horses leave the gate
Fucking Pesci, comedy or drama, he’s always gotta play the tough guy 🤣
Great movie
My baby sis was the inspiration for the Nicky character. True story.
Joe Pesci can go crazy in a hilarious way or a lethal way equally well ..
Oddly, Joe Pesci is more of a jocky's height.
“And I was going to buy a new neon sign”
lol a 4'11'' tough guy
Would someone put this full movie on!!! PLEASE!
i fuckin love this movie
3:41 hilarious! Classic movie!
RIP Pompano Park..😢😢
I liked pompano. Use to wager on it on the OTBs in Chicago. It’s shame RIP Harness racing
They are fucking up Gulfstream now.
@@josephkolski9458 Oh no!! What are they doing
@@khabbadsad, but true. Oh for the days of Roosevelt and Sportsman’s.
@@stephenrowe8352 Sportsman’s was the best!
Every squad needs a Nicky
“Hey! Wake up, we’re closing up!”
Whaddaya buying a house?
So why was the jockey dragging his feet in the ground ? I don't get it
Fixing the race
My Brother is in this clip
*HEY, WAKE UP! WE'RE CLOSING UP*
And that's why I never play the trotters.
00:40 thats the band called heaven
It's Joe Pesci. We all saw Goodfellas. That jockey might not have had such a happy ending.
a jockey is supposed to be small...Nicky is half the jockey's height.
Years later I have to wonder did Montie's mother-in-law have anything to do with this guy skiing halfway across the track.
It's a sure thing!
its 40 to 1
Those trotters are the worst. Always rigged
Pesci's the size of a champion jockey, he should've been driving that horse.
Loved harness racing but use to hate it when you came across a driver like this when you think he’s fixing
Happens every time....
Where's 'that fucking 4' scene.....?
"now here's a sensitive man" FOUR THE FUCKING FOUR....
Those kids in their little sports car got off easy Nikki could have gotten out of the van with a pen and killed a whole lot of them in a manner of minutes
Tommy from Goodfellas WOULD have.
Pompano Park!
Minuto 3:43 practica para Nicky el personaje de Casino jajaja.
Back when Joe Pesci saying "I'll kill you" wasn't a cause for concern.
REBUILD HISTORIC "LESTUDIO" CANADA YEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!EH!
Now...go home and get your fucking shine box.
Freehold Raceway
xD
Gabe Kaplar.
This shit is funny.
that's a 210 lb jockey...
Not that heavy. And they are called “drivers” in harness racing, not jockeys.
Drives are not as small as Jockeys I’d say most between 150 and 180
Funny, but it makes no sense that he would want to lose the race.
It’s a fixed race. The driver is part of the fix. They provided a false tip and got everyone to bet on the win.
