Frankie Valli was great in the Sopranos. He was short like Scarfo, looks like Scarfo and even has the same voice. It’s a shame he’s too old now. Danny DeVito as Harry Riccobene. Michael Imperioli looks like both Chuckie Merlino and his son Joey.
If you know anyone willing to attempt a movie/pilot, i'd be down to audition for either Nicky or Harry (I'm a short actor from NYC..5'6 and would take this seriously). I might also be able to provide photography, help with directors, casting etc. As for funding, there are plenty of ways to make a film on a very limited budget and we can try to initially use phones to film experimentally to see if it's worth to upgrade equipment, quality etc.
Not a movie. A tv series. Listen to Mafia Prince on TH-cam. It’s amazing how many stories are in there that would be worthy enough to tell on screen without having to exaggerate what really happened.
This excellent segment on Nick Scarfo and the Philly Mob features terrific interviews with former Philadelphia Police Captain Francis Friel, who was a legend in Philly. While there was certainly corruption in the Philly Police Dept., Frank Friel was not only a straight-arrow, with incredible personal and professional integrity, but he was really the main person responsible for the downfall of the Philly Mob. Friel graduated from Philadelphia’s Frankford High School and began his nearly three-decade-long police career in 1960. He eventually led the Organized Crime Task Force, which worked out of FBI headquarters in Philadelphia and collaborated with state police investigators from Pennsylvania and New Jersey in fighting the city’s powerful mob. The task force helped prosecute more than 60 organized crime figures including Scarfo, Harry Riccobene, and Salvatore Merlino. Inquirer reporter Thomas J. Gibbons Jr., a police officer-turned-journalist, recalled Friel as personable and flexible. “He could interact with all kinds of people, be it law enforcement or the bad guys, and through that, he could bring these cases to a successful conclusion,” Gibbons said. Frank Friel passed away from cancer in 2014.
Scarfo's nephew said his uncle always had the same solution to anyone who didn't agree with him Quote" Give him this" and he would make the sign of the gun with his Hand!!!!
It turns out that murdering dozens of your own guys tends to decimate the family. Who would’ve thought. Scarfo was the worst. Gigante obviously wasn’t a dumb person, so I can only surmise that the Genovese Family was totally fine with Philadelphia falling apart. Perhaps they were even hoping for that so they could move in further on Atlantic City.
@@bazjr86 boss of what, a street crew? A gang of childhood buddies? He doesn’t even live in the same state. What kind of power could he actually have, I mean really? Sports gambling is legal now, what could they possibly have going on? Loansharking maybe, that’s about it. That’s why most mob guys now end up two-bit drug dealers. That’s where the money is.
So you're telling me that they took the word of some guy that was breaking out of jail to convict somebody else of a crime. This world is really fucked up
Scarfo took the speed racket from the Philly Greek mob after having Stevie Bouras killed shortly after Scarfo was made boss. The greeks ran the racket under Bruno for years but Scarfo demanded exuberant street taxes. At least that's what I've read/heard.
Good reporting. Why don’t reporters do their homework like they did before? This was in depth and informative . Now report s spew pablum at us. And repeat everything over and over .welcome to double speak propaganda today.
Humpback was a fucking bulldog. That man gave zero fucks he was on the mobs hit list for a while until they realized they lost men trying to kill him than it's worth 😆he was 4 foot 10 man was a legend.
This seems like a completely different planet Earth back then. This is awesome. Can you imagine newscasts reporting this today openly and honestly like this? I’d watch the news every night and twice on Sundays if the news was like this. 😊
I really liked Lisa from channel 40 from A.C. her co workers were all good too.So sad when it was taken off the air. It was all local news,weather, sports usually but some from around the state and Pennsylvania ,Philly Mostly.
I worked for Nicky and Phil, and against all odds, after being put on "the list" - I survived and I'm still alive today. Thanks for this post MOBFAX! Brings back soooo many memories. I miss my little town by the shore. What a time it was to be (and stay) alive. 😏👍
Hi MOBFAX. Have you any videos of Jimmy 'the gent' Burke at trail, surveillance footage, perp walks etc? I have always been utterly fascinated by how he attained so much respect and fear within Cosa Nostra despite being non Italian (Irish descent). By all accounts he was one of the best earners throughout 60/70s
It’s all about $. No one cares if he wasn’t Italian. Carmine Persico’s righthand man was Hugh McIntosh, an Irish guy, and Persico was the f’n Boss. Burke definitely wasn’t hanging out with the Lucchese Boss.
@@jimmymcgill8412 Burke was heavily involved with and indeed highly regarded by the upper tier of the Lucchese family. He was Paul Varios go to guy for hijackings and bigger scores. Indeed the respect and control he wielded was similar to that of a Capo
@@stefanbailie2143 yah, Vario was only a Capo, one of many. It’s not like Burke was hanging with Tony Ducks. Joe Watts isn’t Italian either, and he had a much bigger role with the Gambinos than Burke ever did with the Luccheses. Burke was obviously no joke, but he gets overhyped due to Goodfellas. Like I said, Hugh McIntosh was Irish and was with Carmine Persico all the time, yet most have never even heard of him. People tend to focus their attention wherever the media/movies shine the spotlight.
@@jimmymcgill8412 masterminding the largest cash robbery in US History and being responsible for more hijackings at JFK than any other crew along with all the other countless scores (ie Air France etc) would certainly have helped him gain respect and favour with the leadership of the Lucchese. You have to remember as well that given the fact that Jimmy wasn't a made member he could wield influence with other crews and criminal organisations (eg the Westies) much more fluidly than solely Italian members

I mean after he got Salvie wacked that was when everyone looked at him just a lil bit different. Simply put it was the beginning of end.
He was a very insecure guy.
