#Goodfellas #HenryHill #WTFReallyHappenedToThisMovie
RIP to Ray Liotta. The dude's narration of the movie was simply ICONIC...
“Now the guy’s got Paulie as a partner. Any problems…he goes to Paulie. Trouble with a bill…he can go to Paulie. Trouble with the cops, deliveries, Tommy…he can call Paulie.
But now the guy’s gotta come up with Paulie’s money every week…no matter what.
Business bad? F*%k you. Pay me.
Oh, you had a fire? F*%k you. Pay me.
Place got hit by lightning? F*%k you. Pay me.”
Fuck you. Pay me.*

Martin Scorcese is one of the very few directors in Hollywood that has been at the top of his game since the beginning. This is one of the greatest and most quotable films ever made. A true classic in every sense
What was with the departed
@@johnlabry325 The Departed, every actor in that film was miscast, possible exception Matt Damon.
@@paulfoley1274 yeh and the plot was terrible. Best actors worst movie
@@paulfoley1274 Your kidding 🙄
the departed was pretty weak ....very lazy performance from jack nicholson ..the oscars were more in lieu of previous works in that instance ....
Still one of the greatest movies ever made.
For sure.
No doubt about that
110% true coming from Hertfordshire, England where Netflix and MGM have the studio's making films very often.
This and casino….. I can’t help but stop what I’m doing and watch if I see that it’s on tv
I think it could be my number 1
I met Ray Liotta before Goodfellas came out, while working body guarding detail at a concert at the Waikiki shell. He struck up a conversation and later told me he was going to be starring in a movie called Wiseguys at the time. He was pretty cool just a normal guy doing touristy stuff. I personally didnt think much because he had a very pockmarked face for a Hollywood actor and was soft spoken. But boy was I surprised when i saw Wise guys renamed Goodfellas and this soft spoken fella on the big screen. At present Goodfellas has become my most fav All time fav movie, and Mr Liotta definitely my fav actor along with Deniro. Pesci and Pacino. He definitely deserves his fame and fortune. Aloha from Hi🌈
on the original HAWAII Five-0 (you don't get this ending on re-runs), they'd show next week's scenes, and Jack Lord would say, "be here .Aloha" too cool for school.
@@tonym994 He lived right on the beach at Kahala', not to far from where the Diamond beach lookout was. He would walk with his wife in his big rimmed hat. Very private person. Jim Nabors lived a couple blocks East of him.
@@ec7125 what a place to live, man. always thought he found paradise shooting that show there. we had a NE Christmas predictable, w/ rain and cold. aloha, E C
@@tonym994 Aloha Brudda👍
Ray Liotta has always been one of my favourite actors. Very underated but so much fire and charisma in all he does on screen. Pock marks or not, he was a very good looking guy back in the day...those blue eyes !
One of the all-time greats in my opinion.
Martin Scorsese should've got the Academy award for this one
Oh hell yes
The academy are communist self indulgent scoundrel scumbags
@@ronaldtartaglia4459 anyone you does something you don’t agree with is a communist? How American of you. Land of the free my arse!
@@ronaldtartaglia4459 commie?
Will Smith would have slapped him....
After watching this movie, I become a fan of gangster movies and also Ray Liotta, I start watching his entire career, he was really great in Something Wild, Field of Dreams, Marriage Story, Cop Land, Blow & Identity and also underrated movies like Narc, Unlawful Entry & No Escape. Also his secondary roles in Observe and Report, Heartbreakers & Wild Hogs were hilarious and great
The matrix, no country for old men, little giants, i can name stupid movies too, fuck off, scorceseseses fuckin suuuuucks
@@chipwilliams5854
It was Ray Liotta's movies he mentioned
Honorable mention to his voice work in GTA Vice City
You forgot Dominick & Eugene.
I love doing that once you realize you really like an actor. Ray Liotta is one of those underrated gems that have been in some great films, sometimes being one of the few reasons it’s any good at all.
There is no problem with Scorsese making changes. Book and Film are two completely different mediums and what works for one rarely works on the other. The film adaption is close to a master piece of modern cinema. This video was fascinating and an absorbing 15mins. in fact it has made me want to watch the film again!
Also Henry Hill was just a small time drug dealer who lied about everything in the book. He took stories he heard whispers about and inserted him self into them.
youre exactly right. ive never read the jurassic park books, but ive read about them. the gist of the story is the same, but the characters are so different.. and it may not have worked out in the movie version. john hammond was basically a selfish prick in the books, while in the movie hes shown to care a bit more about the people involved. and the lawyer isnt actually a scumbag in the book and i think he survives, where jeff goldblums character is the one that dies
of course if it was remade today ...it would be an all - Black man story ......what a joke !!!!!! 😆
this movie could of been 7 hours long and i’d still be glued to the TV for the whole thing! this is one of those movies that i’m sad it’s over when it ends!
First saw the film on VHS in '92 at 11 years old. There are few films that I can watch over and over and over again and absolutely never get sick of. In fact, every time I watch GoodFellas, my appreciation of it only deepens. Peak Scorsese. Peak cinema.
Same
YES ...LAST DECENT FILM ever MADE ...NEVER AGAIN ...- IT OVER MAN !!!!!
I watched it around the same time at my buddy’s house. I had just started high school. After we watched it I wanted to put it on again!
Sir random qn but did you watch Terminator 2 over & over around the same time?
I peeped that smooth intro title sequence edit :) :20 Very nice!
@OUMB2 Blade?? You call yourself "Blade"??
BaaaaHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I'm dead.
Just burry me. I'm dead.
Joe Pesci didn't look anything like the real Tommy, but... In Casino he looks very similar to the real character Anthony "the ant" Spilotro (movie Nicky Santoro). There is footage of the real guy coming out of the courtroom and they nailed that in the movie too.
Jimmy Burke was a big guy. Deniro was a terrible Jimmy Burke if you know anything about the real guy. And do you know the real reason they used fake names in Casino?
@@K131399 I don't know about the names, I always assume it is to avoid possible lawsuits.
@@K131399 The real Jimmy Burke was about the same height/size as Robert DeNiro. This video got that wrong
@@toro5280 It's because the bottom-feeding politician in the movie was Harry Reid who dirtbags like Deniro and his pedophile friends were more into protecting and lying about prominent liberals.
@@histguy101 I think you're half right. By all I've read, Burke was about 6 foot tall, but weighed well over 200 pounds. He was supposed to have big forearms and a vise grip. When he grabbed a hold of you, you didn't get away.
As far back as I could remember I always wanted to be a gangster. This remains one of Scorsese's all time classics.
These guys were more like killers . Paulie took care of them till they started their own gigs. Jimmy was nuts snd when he got paranoid he killed almost the whole crew. I sure they changed the names to protect the guilty .
The price is too high….. in soooo many ways!! I once heard this VERY profound saying.
FAST MONEY COMES WITH SLOWWWW PROBLEMS.
So you always wanted to be a piece of shit? Nice.
Now its 'Black Cinema' .. .all the way .....!!!!Its over mate ..... 🤢😕😟🙁😮
@@krishnan-resurrection714 they make marvel movies for tall mortys also..
Your coverage in this series is so well researched and thoughtful. Thank you!
I remember that thinking that there was nothing to see at the movie theater. I looked at the Marquee and it read Goodfellas. I asked my girlfriend if she wanted to see that movie. In my mind I thought it was a kid movie like My girl or something. When I saw the opening scene I asked myself what the hell am I watching this is amazing. It was an incredible movie experience.
Those are the best kind of movie experiences. Wander in to a unknown film with little or no knowledge of it...turns into a "Classic" 20yrs later.
When this film came out I didn't have any hair on my balls, you lucky fuck!
The same thing happened to me with Pulp Fiction. I said let's see this movie with all these famous people on the poster.
My experience of hitting a movie blind was jumping in with a carload and getting taken to My Own Private Idaho 😳😳
Jesse Diaz you're right bro good fellas was a little bit better than my girl 😂
This is literally one of my favorite movies of ALL TIME!
Which movie is your figuratively favorite of all time?
@@Yodumeee ha there was zero commitment to the word 'literal' in that statement.
You keep saying that word…… i don’t think it means what you think it means.
literally!?
..what about 'Black Panther' ?! ......Yo not racist are yo MF . . .. .????? 😁😆
What really happened is the movie aged like fine wine
@@matthewdaley746 no
Excellent video! Enlightening!
And also displays the start of Scorcese's love affair with organised crime. Nobody ever remembers the betrayals and only ever romanticises the life Henry, Tommy and Jimmy live in the film.
"As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to quote great movies"
I’ve watched loads of Goodfellas vids on here. Much respect for teaching me several things I didn’t know 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I first watched Goodfellas on VHS tape in the mid 2000s when I was in high school. I own Goodfellas on Bluray now. It’s a cinematic masterpiece.
Now u can watch it on Netflix for free lol
Blue ray🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Ya know it's 2022 right?
Streaming and downloading is alright. It’s good to own physical copies of masterpieces.
IT AINT bLACK ...IT AINT SHITTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His face as he was watching the commercial, and heard him talking s#!t in the back ground. Priceless
One day, some of the kids from the neighborhood carried my mother’s groceries all the way home. You know why?
It was outta respect.
This was actually really good. Never knew what Stax, Maury, or Billy Bats really looked like. Or the pics of the old spots they hang out. Good bit of research that was
Oh Mr. Ray Liotta... I'm going to miss your acting and personality so much!!
This is the peak of American Cinema no question about it...
Yep
I'ts a pretty good movie, but there's always Fight Club...
@@mattjacomos2795BRAVEHEART AMERICAN HISTORY X T2 ALSO
Dark Knight, hell even Crash was great
I’m a huge De Niro fan and one of the things I love is how he applies Ketchup on screen. It’s always special.
That is a real thing from Burke, he put ketchup on everything, even pasta as seen on that scene
Before the gold standard of Morgan Freeman, Ray Liotta laid the groundwork with his remarkable narration in this film.
..before black ........was shiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttttTtTtTttTtTtTtttTtT!!!!!!!!!😆😁
I've seen this movie countless times and they absolutely do mention the basketball point shaving scam. I was baffled when that was mentioned as a crime that wasn't in the movie.
Rewatched the movie for the 90th time and I was mistaken. I must've seen the point shaving thing in a documentary or something. My bad.
It is mentioned very briefly. Maury says, "Did you hear about the points we were shaving in Boston with Nunzio?" Then ice pick in his head
@@matthewrussell87 yes! I must've been distracted at that part when I watched the other day
@@JasonZimmerman1980 ironically, that's what really landed Hill into big trouble. he didn't even realize how serious it is, fixing the outcome of a sporting event. and McDonald, his prosecutor, was a BC Grad, which was the team(BC Eagles)shaving pts. I think Henry asked a ballplayer, "can you dribble w/ a broken arm?" just a little persuasion.
Morrie is talking about it right before the icepick enters his skull.
RIP Ray, what a legend
I’m a writer in the true crime genre and this is very helpful to see what they use, don’t use, and embellish on!
One of the best movies of all times, in my opinion. Wondering why Liotta fell so low after this one.
Not sure - but he’s had some good roles since then - Narc being a highlight
Ray Liotta never fell low. It's just damn near impossible to follow up a masterpiece like Goodfellas.
@@dreday5880 Agree.
The cast, story setting of movie was filmed perfectly captures the time. Never be duplicated good Luck recasting another movie like this today.
The real Tommy and Stacks where actually good friends in real life and Tommy was hesitant about killing stacks but was convinced into doing so after he was promised to be a made man.
Interesting. Nice to know!
Al profit
You have to know your priorities 🤠
Yeah he told Stacks something like "Sorry pal, I hope it didn't hurt. I'll probably be going wherever you're going soon." Something to that effect.
^*were, not where you lackwit. Learn your language.🙄🤦♂️
I was 16 at the time when Good fellas hit cinemas in October 1990, here in the U.K., Its been 32 years & it remains to be my greatest cinema experience , we was struck by this grandeur gangster movie depiction on screen., Back in 1990 sitting in that cinema, i didnt know i was about to witness cinematic history, this movie would benchmark itself as one of the greats of cinema, After leaving the cinema , we were dazzled , convoluted & didnt really digest what we had watched, it was an overwhelming experience , frightened by the world that Scorsese & the entire team had took us through, it was like coming of a roallercoaster through wonderland, but only experiencing this stark, sparkling underworld of crime, this was the most naked insight into the mafia world we were exposed to on screen & it remains undisputed. I cherish this movie , it will always remain in my memory, the only other close experience i had was watching Donnie Brasco in 1997, which came 7 years later but it remains close & not the same as Goodfellas.
It’s hands down the most accurate mob movie of all time
Great video! One of my top 3 movies of all times!💯
The real crime is that they gave the Oscar to Dances With Wolves. WTF??
I just watched that for the first time last week. Good story but absolutely meandering and uneventful.
I thought both were great films, but completely different films ...you simply can't compare them. For me, Dances was a gorgeous film with outstanding cinematography and a beautiful storyline, whereas Goodfellas was an epic crime drama, based on the true life of Henry Hill, but as good as it was, The Godfather will always be the film portraying life in the mafia.
Travesty
No shit!! Ten times better movie!! Based on real events!!
It’s still a better love story than Twilight
To this day, whenever I hear "Layla", I see an image of Frankie Carbone hanging in the back of that truck.
They briefly mentioned the Point Shaving scandal, right before Morrie gets whacked, he tells Frankie “Did you hear the points we were shaving up in Boston?”
need to watch this again, what a movie
Got this video in my recommendations on the day I heard the news about the death of Ray Liotta passing away in his sleep RIP Ray Liotta we have lost one of the great actors
Man!!!! They should’ve put the Witness protection meeting (with the mistresses) in the movie!
Maury's wigs do indeed come off when getting strangled.
AHHH but not in the pool!!!
R.I .P RAY LIOTTA 😔 1978 - 2022
Wasn’t born in 78
JOBlo you're a really funny guy 😂
Thanks for the video I loved watching.
Imagine being stuck in a movie, and that movie being Goodfellas lol. I actually had a dream of that exact scenario.
Good backdoor info. Scorsese is a great Director. Been binging "Mob" type videos lately. Subbed and belled ALL for your channel!!
Flat out one of the best movies ever made....
If you love this movie, you have to read the book "Wiseguys". It is such a compelling read, even if you aren't a real 'reader'. Trust me, you'll love it. Once you start reading you can hardly put it down. And it goes into GREAT detail about Hill and co's many crimes, including the point shaving racket.
I watch this every year on Thanksgiving.
Great video! But I have to point out your picture of the real Billy Bats is a picture of Pat the Cat Sperito of the Philly Mob. 😂
Forget about it, Martin Scorsese is a genius as this great movie displays.
Excellent video, thx
This is a good rapid fire video, but if you want to hear the story in more detail, with a few interviews with Henry Hill, I recommend HistoryBuff’s video on goodfellas. Again not roasting Jo, everything was pretty much covered here 😂
"HistoryBuff" a TH-cam channel?
9:05 he shows an Airbus A380 which is totally relatable for that time period😂
R.I.P Ray Liotta How on Earth he Never got an Award for Goodfellas is Mind-boggling ??🙏🏻💙💯 ✌🏻
good job on this video JoBlo team
Thanks!
Juste love Pesci's "speech" for winning the oscar...as Ricky Gervais said, "nobody cares for this as much as you do !"
Very well done video! Certainly has me considering viewing the movie for the 29th or 30th time.
The picture shown at 7:47 isn’t billy batts, it’s pat the cat spirito from Philadelphia, he was murdered by Nicki the crow and Charles iannece - if you’re really gonna call your video “wtf really happened” you should get your facts straight
Good Clip, love the soundtrack ✌😎🎶🎵
I always had older friends as a kid and one of them kept joking around telling people to get there shine boxes. I knew it was from the movie cuz he told me but I never saw until a decade later. Looking back, it was a lot funnier.
I just found your channel, enjoying it very much
Rest in peace Ray Liotta! True legend!!!
Saw a similar but longer video on a channel called History Buffs, both videos are excellent. Casting choices aside because star power is needed to drawn in audiences, the events in the film were quite faithful to real life scenarios.
I think the most interesting behind the scenes story from this movie is, the fact that the "am I funny?" scene was not from Henry Hill's life, but Joe Pescle's life...
The bartender he shot in the foot was in the Sopranos.
Joe Pesci is actually connected to the Jersey Boys and grew up around the Mob; so while I didn’t know this fact; it was also not surprising knowing where he grew up
I think Paulie banging Karen was better.
@@xThatTributeGuyx yeah, Mr. Joe is, and was a very talented musician.
Great video!!
Howard stern had spiders sister on and called Henry during it. The exchange was brutal. She was calling him a rat and other stuff. Check it out if you want. Great commentary!
I did watch that on TH-cam with the Howard Stern and Henry Hill. It was real.
@@matthewdaley746 Howard stern is played out years ago.
I remember hearing that back in the day👍
You got a link?
@@mexicangomez31 I will look for
Excellent analysis! Thank you.
Burke was not 6’5. In his 1979 mugshot he was just slightly over 6’0, and the two FBI agents who arrested him were a lot taller than him
That's what I was thinking
Good research u have done my boy!
Apparently Steve Martin played an exaggerated version of Hill while he was in witness protection in the movie "My Blue Heaven"
I've actually used the frozen food line a couple times.with mixed results.
My Blue Heaven , definitely in my top 5.
I’ve watch this movie well over 50 times and I’m still not tired of it
Rip Ray Liotta.. damn that one hurt..
Bill Burr on his podcast raises a question on why the Billy Bates, trunk and digging up scenes, are backlit in red🤔
One of my favorite scenes in the movie is leading up to where Morrie gets whacked. Jimmy is sitting at the bar staring him down as he comes in (Sunshine of Your Love by Cream playing). That scene, DeNiro says a whole lot without saying a word.
..would have been better with a Black guy playing the Lead Role ...like 'Karate Kid' .for example !!! ..........😏
Martin "Marty" Krugman was really killed by Jimmy Burke right after he disappeared from Robert's Lounge in Queens Jimmy buried him right behind the bar..He was never stabbed by Tommy in the back of the neck like they showed in the movie Henry made that up he wasn't even there..
@@krishnan-resurrection714 I heard your Mom banged a black guy back in the day & your friends used to make fun of you about it, saying that he’s your real Dad
@@dr.rockzo thats better than your dad being banged by one ....
@@krishnan-resurrection714 well…my dad could beat up your dad sooo
I must have watched this movie 100 times easy,, and could still enjoy it again.
"Never rat on your friends... and always keep your mouth shut"
But I guess it's okay to
"Always have your friends whacked. In fact, we're gonna do it to you!"
It's not "always have your friends whacked", it's what you get for breaking rules. Jimmy was in the drug business with him and moving a LOT smarter than Henry, he slipped up and got caught despite Jimmy warning him to be smarter and Henry knew Paulie would kill him if he stayed in the drug business. Henry was a liability, drunk, doing drugs, getting caught selling drugs of course they would want to kill him for that.
@@Cardb33 You can try to justify it but they didn't give a fuck about Henry. There was no real loyalty in the mafia. It's just like government only it's a dumbed down version.
when you live amongst cutthroats, you might get your throat cut.
@@anthonyrush7490 They very well could've cared about him, especially Paulie, but they knew Henry was a drunk, drug abusing, woman abusing liability. He wasn't a good businessman and getting caught for selling drugs made them think "is this guy really about to eat 25 or so years in Prison for us?" And the very obvious answer is no. That's why Paulie and guys like that either stayed away from drugs or made damn sure they were never caught the sentences were very heavy.
RIP Paul 'Paulie' Sorvino

They snitched on each other and killed each other when shit hit the fan. This is why you always work alone - Never trusting in anyone else or being a member of a team.
Loved this film so much I have Tommys Moms painting on my wall😎😁👌
with the 2 dogs?
It also gave us a awesome meme with Ray Liotta laughing.
Thanks for pointing out the several inaccuracies of the film.
Now I will point out one in your video.
Henry Hill did not "rise up through the ranks" of the Lucchese (or any other) mafia family, as he was never an actual member of the mafia. He was only an associate. And even if they deemed him qualified, which I seriously doubt, he was only half Italian, and for membership one must be fully Italian. Likewise, Irish mobster Jimmy Burke was never a member of the mafia, although he certainly would have qualified, vicious thug that he was. Tommy was the only one of the three that was fully Italian and might have qualified, if he weren't so wild and out of control.
@Martin O'Donnell - Do you mean because his mother, John Sr's wife, Victoria DiGiorgio Gotti, was/is only half Italian, half Russian-Jew?
@Martin O'Donnell - I guess they must have changed the rules. By then the whole thing was basically falling apart anyway. The Commission Trial was one of the final nails in the coffin. Took down 4 of the 5 families. The 5th family, the Bonannos, had been kicked off the Commission some time earlier, following Donnie Brasco, and so weren't part of the trial.
Those facts were already made clear in the movie itself so no need for your "correction". I'm fairly certain what the video uploader meant by that phrase is that Hill received a particular status by the mafia he associated with. By the time it all came crashing down, he wasn't a low level guy just serving drinks like Spider.
@@squatch570 -
Exactly where in this 15 minute video was it "made clear" that none of the 3 main characters in Goodfellas (Henry Hill, Jimmy Burke, or Tommy DeSimone) were *not* members of the Mafia?
At the 1:30 mark: "The half-Irish, half-Sicilian Henry Hill began his life with organized crime in the Italian Mafia in 1955 at age 11, and he spent the next 30 years climbing the ranks of the Lucchese crime family."
Was fortunate to catch in the theater in 90 and then Casino a few years later. Both classics
it always gets me when karen i over henry to shoot him for going out and stuff, then he drags her to the floor and reverses it on her. Then as he gets up, that wingtip heal steps right on her hand and it adds so much to the scream of her "i'm sorry"
Gives old mate the chance to stare her down, and stare down the barrel...
So many of the scenes where filmed in my old neighborhood in Queens NY.
I loved growing up in New York and yes that movie is dead on.
My all time favorite movie.
In real life Jimmy was probably the most feared guy in NYC at the time.
Definitely commanded a lot of respect.
Great vid 👌
He rated out his friends, who died in jail. What a great guy.
You don't think they'd do it to him?
Hill didn't have much of a choice. They would have whacked him anyway. Hill coudn't whack them all so he had only one option.
Damn classic, I can watch this any and everytime and still pick up on something new that I didn't notice the last time...
I love this film so much. One of the greatest films I have ever watched and one of my favorite movies too!
I saw Goodfellas in the theatre when it came out. my Girlfriend at the time wanted to go see Ghost again- we'd already seen it a number of times as she really enjoyed it. I was getting tired of seeing Ghost and suggested we go see Goodfellas, she was reluctant at first, but after the film had ended my girlfriend said she actually enjoyed it. I have watched Goodfellas numerous times and still love it . Goodfellas & Donnie Brasco are my 2 favorite Mafia films.
What happened to the girl?
I loath 'chick flick' films ! Goodfellas , Predator, Terminator, Kill Bill, Gladiator...just a few of my faves .
What a movie! Masterpiece 100%
One of my favorite movies. I bought and still have/use Henry's cookbook.
that's an awesome book...
got it for Christmas a couple years back , for my niece, who'd requested it. she cooks from it. last year, I got her 'Made men' the story of 'GOODFELLAS', it has a pink Caddy and bullet holes on the cover.
I have to say from seeing the death scenes here, i miss blood squibs in films.
After “The Godfather “ this has got to be one of best movies ever made. I respect the way Martin Scorcese kept the movie as close to reality as possible.
One of my top 3 favorites!
what are the other 2?
You can pretty much assume almost any movie based on true events take liberties. There's always something changed or re-arranged for screen purposes. Hence why they say "BASED on a true story", and not "This IS a true story". Just is what it is.
An absolute classic to me!!
I watch this film every time it comes on tv..... every time.
Jimmy the Gent was definitly not 6’5”😂
