- Marisa Tomei Gave The Crew A Little EXTRA
Nearly three decades after its debut, the 1992 classic "My Cousin Vinny" remains a timeless legal comedy that never fails to tickle the funny bone. With Marisa Tomei’s sassy Mona Lisa Vito and Joe Pesci’s street-smart Vinny Gambini, the film has secured its place as a comedic gem.
However, beyond the laughter and courtroom drama lies a vault of hidden tales and surprising mishaps. From actors who weren't the producers' first choice to deleted sequences and on-screen blunders, we’ll reveal a treasure trove of juicy and exclusive secrets that even a die-hard fan didn’t take notice of, as well as some interesting tidbits about the movie. Prepare to be surprised by how much you didn't know about this legal comedic masterpiece. Let’s get started!
They were worried that Marisa Tomei wouldn't be able to handle this role? To me, Marisa's character MADE this movie.
I loved the writing in this movie. I couldn't imagine anyone else playing the role like Marisa played it. She was perfect.
After watching this movie 🎬
No one can replace, Marisa Tomei
A classic. Surprising that Marisa and Joe didn't work together again. The chemistry was perfect.
I too have watched this movie a number of times. After watching this video, every actor and actress complimented their parts and don't think no other actors or actresses could have done their parts any better. Cousin Vinny has to be one of the most funny, serious, believable comedy I've ever watched. Pesci and Tomei just shined through this whole movie.
Fred Gwynne was still that loveable " monster " even in that courtroom. It was great that his career finished well. It truly is one of my favorite movies .
I was (and still am) in love with Marisa Tomei. Gorgeous woman.
In my opinion, my cousin Vinny could not have gone any other way. Every one of those actors deserves an Oscar for the role in this movie they all nailed it❤️😇✝️🙏❤️🇺🇲💯👍
Marisa was stunningly beautiful in this role. The hairstyle and color, clothing, makeup, personality, attitude... I will watch it any time I see it, just to see her as Mona Lisa Vito.
One of my favorite comedies at that time. I has a huge crush on Marisa Tomei too! I agree, Marisa knocked it out of the park and was deserving of the Oscar! She and Pesci were born to do the movie!! I was surprised to hear that they tried to cut Marisa from the movie! I'm glad the director's will prevailed!!
I have watched this movie many times and will watch in many more. Marisa Tomei is stunning and a great talent. Joe Pesci is also such a great talent. That movie should have won best picture, best Actor and Actress. This movie is as perfect today as it was when it came out and one of those movies that will last forever. Such great writing, directing and acting. It's lightning in a bottle. With all the additions of special effects and now AI, you may never see this complete quality in a movie again. And if it's the last one, it was a great way to go out.
I just don't see anyone that will replace them in the future, so I'm glad we have them now for our present.
Totally agree, she was fantastic in the role, and absolutely gorgeous which didn't hurt.
I watch this movie a couple times every year...it's so entertaining. Marisa was definitely the whole package.
Marisa Tomei is half this movie! And good thing they never cut her character! This is where I fell in love with Marisa Tomei ! Whenever the question, Who is your favorite, or you think is the hottest actress? She is always my answer! And I would love to date her character! The NY accent, outfits, attitude, etc,, and how hot and attractive she is! This is my #2 of my all favorite movies of all time!
Fred Gwynne was excellent as the judge. He should've gotten an Oscar. He was so convincing. A very underrated actor.
One of the best movies of all time. Period. I smile to myself every time I think of it. So, so, so very well done. All of it.
I don't know that Mona Lisa's testimony was incorrect. I assumed they were talking only about General Motor's cars because the Studebaker Avanti would NOT have had the identical exterior paint as the General Motors' cars would, which caused the initial mix-up.
Wonderful movie. Tomei's performance was Brilliant, almost carrying away the film. Pesci also delivered brilliantly. And the late Fred Gwynne didn't miss a beat. When there's that much excellence throughout the cast, that points to superb directorship as well. This is reminiscent of 2 other comedic classics of that era; Midnight Run & Get Shorty. Treasured classics, all!
My Cousin Vinny is a timeless Movie love all of the actors and actresses. I was 16 years old when it came out in 1992. Went to the movies to it. I was already a fan of Marisa Tomei saw her first in 1987 in the first season of a Different World. She was great and deserved an Oscar for that role.
IMHO...a great movie overall.. the language, the dialogue and inter-actions are choice. Love Marisa Tomei in this roll.. Just superb. No wonder why she won an Oscar. And the infamouse 2 'yuts'..line from Pesci and Gwynn . Great stuff. A most enjoyable movie.
My Cousin Vinny is a perfect film. I fall in love with Marisa Tomei again every time I see it.
She was so attractive and cute in that role, I fell in love at first sight. A truly great comedy !
One of my favorite comedy films of all time! A movie I never get tired of watching.
Q: What do you call a med student who graduates at the bottom of their class?
A: Doctor.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Marisa Tomei gave one of the best performances I have ever seen. I have watched that movie countless times and her timing is so flawless it blows me away - every time! I had no idea she won an Oscar for this performance until recently (24/03/12) - I just thought she was so into that character it impressed me no end.
Plus I have a huge crush on her, but that's another story... ;-)
I also had no idea about Joe Pesci's background. Turns out we were both born in Newark a few years apart and lived 2.5 miles apart. I'll bet anything my father knew all the members of those bands - he and his family had (and still have some) music stores in the northern New Jersey area. Who knew I'd be a huge Four Seasons fan for years? My father never really talked about the famous performers who were his customers.
Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei could not have been replaced by anyone, and had the results been as hilarious....they were absolutely perfect for these two roles. i'll bet i've watched this movie 8 to 10 times in totality, and love it every time.
Fantastic film watched it so many times never get tired seeing it brilliant movie
Fred is one of my most favorite underrated actors. I liked all the talent in this movie, Macchio even did ok. But Ms. Tomei's legs stole the show!
Marisa Tomei was an excellent actor. This was a great movie. I have seen it a number of times on TV. It holds your attention and it is LOL funny.
Avanti was designed with independent rear suspension, because of cost changed to leaf spring live rear axle. She was correct.
One of the top ten movies ever made!
I think Tomie was the real star of this film. Hilarious.
The funniest moment in film when the public defender strolled up and stuttered-I still laugh out loud and use it as a meme in social media-one of the funniest scenes I’ve ever seen!
I will always love Marisa Tomei. Also, Marisa's father was a trial lawyer.
I had a big time major crush on Marisa Tomei from seeing My Cousin Vinny. I feel like my parents robed my of my New Jersey identity by moving our family from Teaneck to Detroit when I was one years old!
A true Classic. Still have the VHS, CD you name it. One of my Fav movie ever!
Yes Its In My Memory As The Best Movie To Enjoy Anytime Marissa n Joe Should Make Another Movie As The Characters Yrs Later Hope The Writer Is Still Alive n Again Everyone Should Enjoy The Best Enjoyable n Clever Ever Thank U For This Movie😁🥳😁❣️
Of course, she DIDN'T help solve the case because of her knowledge of cars. It was Vinny who saw her photo of the skid marks who then HIMSELF realized the problem (and Mona clearly HADN'T realized the issue -- even after taking the picture). It was handy to have her testify -- but Vinny didn't need her, strictly speaking, because he himself had figured it out, and could have coaxed it out of the FBI expert, if that was all he had.
Such an excellent movie . One of my favorite 90’s movies
Tomei's character in Oscar wasn't the maid. Her character was the spoiled daughter of Stallone's character. ;-( However, she did play that convincingly.
Love the scene where Marissa needs to use the restroom at a gas station and the bathroom key is chained to a diesel truck rim
The two worked so well together that I expected a sequel who in Jersey wouldn't hire Vinny not knowing it was Mona Lisa who won the case between knowing cars & more about law than he did after browsing his law books
Every once in a while, serendipitous forces conspire to bring the perfect ingredients together at one time, as was the case with Casablanca, Animal House, First Blood, and of course My Cousin Vinny, among others. Should make you wonder if there might be more going on than most of us realize, n’est pas? :)
i love this movie. it has been one of the greatest comedies i have seen. i keep a download of this movie in my computer because it is so good.
Excellent movie the first time I saw it. So funny and then delighted with it every time I see it. Everyone was great in their parts and moved the story along . The with relatives living in some of those areas right on with the mannerisms and perceptions. Great job by all. I saw Marisa in one of two things and thought she was funny eith very good talent. Then heard she was in this movie so i went to see it. Far better than even expected. I wish she would do more. She is beautiful and smart and funny . Joe Pesci should have been nominated!!! He made the made the movie as well.
A true classic!
I was surprised that so many other actors were offered these iconic roles.
My wife and I have an ongoing joke about actors we would leave each other for. I would leave my wife for Marisa Tomei.
Never have I liked Pesci, or his characters, especially those for director Scorsese. But he was the perfect choice to play Gambini in 'My cousin Vinny'. For once he wasn't a 'wiseguy' sticking a pencil in someone's neck. IOWs, he had to maintain civilized behavior uninterrupted with violence. The script was made for his Italian neighborhood personality. Tomei's choice as Mona Lisa Vito was perfect as well i.e. they complimented each other so brilliantly.
I loved Marisa Tomei so much. She made the movie great. She’d look good in a gunny sack.
I couldn't imagine anyone else playing the roles in My Cousin Vinny. It was brilliantly cast and every actor and actress in the roles were perfect. This is an iconic classic that should never be remade because the comedic magic of this and its performances could never be duplicated. To this day, I still chuckle each time a watch it and it never gets old.
I love Marisa Tomei Her in that cat suit, grrrrrrrr
"I ain't never gettin' married." Tomei apparently really meant it.
I remember, I was 10 years old. My family went to see this movie. Never in my life have I heard my mother laugh that hard with the biological clock scene. It's brilliant! In fact, the whole packed theater cracked up so long and loud we all missed some of the film. It's really a movie for the record books!
Like First Blood or Predator, I will watch My Cousin Vinny anytime!
Excellent movie , Joe at his best
Everyone involved in the movie was perfect. Well done, Hollywood. Oscar well deserved.
She made the movie great ,couldn't replace her if they wanted to. It was like real life these two work well together. Not taking anything away from Joe. One of my favorite.
Marisa Tomei was the perfect sidekick for Joe Pesci. She added icing to the cake when paired with Joe. I really cannot see Robert DiNiro as Vinny. He is capable of comedy, as shown in movies like Meet The Parents, but his comedy is too cocky. Joe's short height and tall talking was the perfect combo.
Maria Tomei was fantastic in Oscar. She played the daughter.
It’s nearly impossible to imagine anyone else playing this couple.
Everytime I watch this movie I discover more hidden comedy one of those movies you're not bored watching again and again.
I love this movie! Its one of my very favorite comfort movies. The cast was great. I am from the tri State area and the Jersey Characters did a great comparison.
Marisa was just adorable and really added to the movie 😊 I am going to watch it soon, great cast and movie 💯👍❤️
Her performance in this film was brilliant.
This Movie was great and I loved it and I have watched it 100 of times
I have not seen this movie in years. Now i know what I'm watching soon.
Well done sir! This is one of a few films that can be viewed over and over. The cast was perfect in every way. I find something new in every time I view it. Looking forward to other films you explain.
Thank You.
Hats off to the creators and the casting team. I can't imagine anyone else as Vinny, and Marisa is a beautiful and talented actress who could never be cut from the movie, and have the movie reach those heights. Her ragging on Gambini highlighted his inexperience and insensitivity which made him look even more convincing as a New Jersey legal novice. it makes want to watch the movie right now, again!. After watching Marisa in films like Wild Hogs and Guru, I must admit having a thing for her. The director's intuitive talent to add to Marisa's role and keep in amusing accidents took the film to another level. Marisa deserved her oscar because she truely supported the lead, and Joe was wrongly overlooked, and the Movie itself
Great movie!
Both Marisa and Joe Pesci could’nt EVER be improved upon…NÉVER ÉVER‼️
Their characters were superb
and will withstand the test of time infinitely
The whole show is so funny and effective…these two especially👊‼️
it is simply brilliant🥂

What makes a great movie ?
Actors and Actresses that COMPETE against each other to win an award.
But Actresses and Actors that that COMPLIMENT & COMPLETE each others roles.
And that make us Viewers feel like the movie was REAL life, not a movie.
But was the Studebaker available in GM mint green metallic paint with the same tires. I doubt it.
Morisa Tomei has under sold as an actor most, if not her entire career.
Her agent is lousey.
Give us more hot & sexy Tomei!!!
Instead we get political morons.
She has a sweet & sassy demeanor. We were robbed America! Robbed of her potential!!
When resurfaced a year or two before her spiderman bit I was like, wow!
Where has she been since 2000?
Holleywood is too full of itself today. I attend the movie theaters less, buy into their switching media hype; oh this is better than that! Oh Oh this is now so much better.
DVDs are all anybody on a budget should ever need, if not streaming.
I personally hate anybody in my business. I love my privacy.
This movie was undersold too, by the way. This is the 1st time I've heard the title of it. I recognized some clips. I never even knew Morisa was in it.
I adore her though.
A Genuine beauty.❤
Marisa played the perfect smartass Italian woman, or is that redentant? Great movie and as others have mentioned she made the movie. A very deserving Oscar.
Great movie and great video. Thanks I have watch it several times. BOB
I just LOVE the movie! It is STILL HILARIOUS every time i watch it!❤️🤣🤣🤣
That was a great movie, and Joe Pesci SHOULD have WON the Best Actor award. I think the tie thing was an under-the-table comedy bit, people who noticed it laughed, nothing like that, and to that extent is done accidentally in the filming world. What a great movie that was, now this video has made me want to see it again!
I absolutely love this movie. The script was excellent and the casting was perfect!
My wife and I loved the movie and Marisa Tomei's performance that we named our daughter Marisa after her. The film will remain funny and classic for a very long time !
Marisa is so hot.
Thx!!! Excellent! Thx!
i would love to meet her
Loved the screech owl in the movie! Grew up hearing them around 2 am in the mornings on the farm! Made me giggle every time!
One of the most beautiful women to grace this earth.
Yea, DeNiro would've been perfect cuz, when I think of comedy, the first name that comes to mind is Bobby DeNiro!
Great Video !....Thank you......The "Truuth about those two Yutes " !
The Avanti did not have independent rear suspension.
Being a Jersey boy, Pesci did a great job of representing his home state....anybody got a problem with that...😁
I am not a big Joe Pesci fan, but he was perfect in this movie.
I love the movie and I've watched it more times than I can count; I have it saved in my favorites on my dvr. Marisa Tomei is a beautiful woman and a very talented actress. All the characters were casted perfectly I believe. And even though I've never been a big Marciano fan, believing his acting was never really that good, I thought he played his character very well also. It will forever be one of my top 10 favorites and I could watch it over and over again and still enjoy it as much every time.
She was comedy gold in My Cousin Vinny, and also very good in Crazy, Stupid Love!!
The whole movie is outstanding. To this day when this comes on tv, I stop what I am doing and watch. I can't keep my eyes off of Marisa.
Marisa MADE the movie. loved her character. I really think they should have used Vinny in Cobra Kai when Daniel needed to have his cousin the attorney come for the bad guy.
That would have been AWESOME.. They also made a reference about the girl being a little Marissa Tomei "wannabe" a few minutes earlier.
Brilliant film great characters everyone of them
One of my favorite movies of all time.
I could totally fall in love with Marissa. She's such a beauty. But I have to say, Pesci should have won an Oscar--if for no other reason than being able to spew all that legal mumbo-jumbo accurately with a Jersey accent. Some of those words and phrases are true tongue-twisters, even for someone who has had elocution lessons. Lane Smith, Fred Gwynn, and Bruce McGill all played their parts perfectly and I can't imagine anyone making it better. I think I need to go back and watch the movie again. Later. 🙂
I have a group of friends who are enormous fans of the movie. All of us are also serious and dedicated film buffs. But we all agree on our favorite comedy. My favorite line? "Oh, you blend." Hilarious.
She was so good in My cousin vinny. She deserved that award
"Few minor films", she was a series regular on the sitcom "A Different World"
The attorneys used it in my expert witness training.
