The "Go home & get your shine box" scene was shot at a place on 73rd Street and Grand Ave in Maspeth, Queens, about 6 miles from Robert's Lounge, where Billy Batts allegedly made the insulting comment. The bar where they some time afterwards beat up Billy Batts (Henry Hill's bar, The Suite) was actually a good distance away from both at 111-20 Queens Blvd, Forest Hills, Queens. That's about 3-1/2 miles from the place where they filmed the scene. So the insult and the near-fatal beating did *not* happen at the same place and time as depicted in the movie. They happened at different places on different days, according to Henry Hill. CORRECTION: the Suite was on 111-16 Queens Blvd It is now the home of a Japanese restaurant called Shogun Hibachi. ____________________ Below, from Wikipedia... "According to the book Wiseguy, after William "Billy Batts" Bentvena was released from prison in 1970, a "welcome home" party was thrown for him at Robert's Lounge, which was owned by Burke. Hill stated that Bentvena saw DeSimone and jokingly asked him if he still shined shoes, which DeSimone perceived as an insult. DeSimone leaned over to Hill and Burke and said, "I'm gonna kill that f--k."[6] Two weeks later, on June 11, 1970, Bentvena was at The Suite near closing time when he was pistol-whipped by DeSimone. Hill said that before DeSimone started to beat Bentvena, DeSimone yelled, "Shine these f-ing shoes!"[6]..." --Wikipedia
Thank you for that!! I am just editing a video that I took in Maspeth at the old Spartan Restaurant, but I couldn't pinpoint the original location on Queens Blvd. However, based on the location of Krugman's "For men only" on Queens Blvd, I included an image in the video where I guessed what I thought was the original Suite Lounge. If your information is correct then I guessed right, lol, 111-20 Queens Blvd. Thanks for that, I had a feeling that it was the castle looking building.
@@richardarthur-nycstories - There's a fire department a few doors away from where the Suite was on Queens Blvd. And I think the address may have actually been 111-16 Queens Blvd, not 111-20 as I stated earlier. Still not 100% sure on that.
@@tomc8617 I just spent the morning going through newspaper archives, The Suite was indeed located at 111-16 Queens Blvd. I even found a newspaper ad for the restaurant from 1972 that I clipped and have just posted on my community tab.

My 🏡 home town grew up playing in forest park in the summer time.! Went to holy child Jesus Catholic school 🏫 great 👍 memories ! Thank you for uploading .
The Asian restaurant was the location of Henry Hill’s original ‘Suite’ lounge. They had the second of two fights-one by JFK and the other here. The restaurant where the scene was filmed was just a set for the movie. The original lounge, here, was demolished years ago. And they didn’t drive him straight to Connecticut. They went down the Van Wyck, back towards Howard Beach, when he started kicking in the trunk. 😊🔪🩸
Sadly, the cafe in the film (where Jimmy kicked the phone booth over when he found out Tommy was executed) is now some sort of industrial storage place, but still looks the same. I often wonder if some of the places could still be profitable if they capitalized on the film had they remained open now that it is such a cult classic.
It happened with in the matter of months, not the same night when Batts insulted Tommy. But also Jimmy took over bookie business and Batts wanted it back. I'm surprised Jimmy didn't get whacked as well!
Yeah me too maybe because it there was no evidence to prove there was anybody else but DeSimone so Paulie probably just told the gambianos it was only him . I wonder what they Thought then when Henry hill turned informant and spilled information about billy batts death and jimmy burke was involved
Queens Blvd between 71st and 75 Ave. I lived a couple of blocks away on Austin Street for 10-years. I remember the Hibachi place. Don’t think we ever went in there, but I would’ve done had I known the buildings history! 👍👍
At first, each time I watched this scene, I thought he meant keep him there as in make sure he/his guys don't try to come after him when he leaves but I had to keep watching to realize he meant for them to keep him there so that he can deal with him after everybody's gone
Good question, Terence. In hindsight I didn't need to. I was afraid of a strikes or young kids hearing it. As you can hear I missed one anyway and there's no way for me to fix that or my audio because the pocket mic went out. Next time I will never touch anything to spoil the integrity of the film--though its almost comical with a thousand beeps. Anyway, gives us all another reason to watch the film again. 🎥
Billy Batts is in his mum’s painting at the end lol, I remember when they all started laughing when they said the guy in the picture looked like Batts ( without the beard) who they were on their way to burying.
My apologies sincerely. It will not happen again. I was fortunate to accidentally find it just before the pandemic and the friend I was with has to be the world's worst photographer. 🙄
Batts was in real life a very close associate of John Gotti. Only reason Gotti and crew weren't there that night is because they were still in jail. Makes you wonder how everything plays out if Gotti was there.
The first argument between Billy Batts and Tommy DeSimone happened at Roberts Lounge owned by Jimmy Burke..Two weeks later that's when Tommy came back and put a Beatdown on Billy Batts with Jimmy Burke at Henry Hills bar called the Suite Lounge 1116 Queens Boulevard..Henry Hill was a heroin user plus cocaine and an alcoholic..He said the movie was 95% accurate I'd say more like 50% accurate..Hill got $500,000 for Good Fellows and blow it all on drugs and alcohol and gambling at the horse races..They promise him millions of dollars more which he never got...
First thing you learn, if there's a heated argument or fight at the bar, get the fuck outta there, cuz homie will come back for yo ass. Batts never learned this lesson, or he thought he was untouchsble because he was made.
@@negativeindustrial lotta good being 'made' did him. a word won't save you from death. humble yourself as a 'made' man so you get respect and not kicks to the face for being an immature 'made' goon.😐🥾🥴haw🤣haw😁🙋♂✌😎
Not only do I like and appreciate the Big LCNs M.O but I really like the way they speak English. Words such as tree 🎄 instead of three or the word trow instead of throw
I never understood why Robert Deniro's character didn't get killed along with Joe Pesci's character, I guess just because it was Joe's fight so only he paid the price for it.
It depends on what angle you are looking at. if you're looking at it in the movie Jimmy Conway was seen as the "boss" and Tommy was expendable and was blamed for killing Batts.. If you're looking for what actually happened accounts vary (as they always do with the Mafia) but it's generally accepted that the real Tommy Desimeone was a hothead who was prone to violence which contrary to what people think, the mafia does not really approve of as they are not thought to be trustworthy to be good earners and more likely to bring the attention of the law. Tommy's brother was also suspected of being a rat and Tommy had to always fight the feeling he was also a rat. As for Jimmy Burke in real life, was a very good earner and was seen as while being a hardcore gangster who was in no way whatsoever shy of killing, he knew how to control his temper and convert it into money making.. But what the truth and the movie do show is that made man is deemed untouchable by lower ranks of the mafia and even more so by non Italian associates like Jimmy Burke regardless of how much they earn. So it is somewhat surprising that DeSimeone was murdered and Jimmy was not, possibly because the Gambinos were making too much money from Burke and saw more value in keeping him alive than deSimeone who to be honest, no one would particularly miss. You should also remember that Goodfellas is based on an account by Henry Hill, and he was never one to shy away from either embellishing his accounts or changing them entirely when it suited him.
His character Jimmy Burke was incredibly dangerous and rich from the Lufthansa heist. The Gambino's blamed Desimone for the Billy Bats hit. John Gotti was the one that pressed the button. He couldnt get to Burke who was making too much money for the Luchasse family. Bats was there to collect as he was given the Desimone crew and the Burke numbers rackets were supposed to be his. They didn't need to kill bats, just pay him his tribute like the old timers did.
Billy batts came back from the dead to get revenge on Tommy in casino.
Factz 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Damn right
Spoiler alert?
Revenge for "Raging Bull" too...
Because if I recall correctly, Joe Pesci beats him up in that One as well!

Question is...
Who's gonna get back at Frank Vincent (Rest In Peace) for Nicky Santoro's brother Dominic???
lol
That was awesome
50 years ago today, a joke about a shine box went horribly wrong.
These scenes are an extreme example of what can happen when two full-blown narcissistic sociopaths cross each other.
Billy Batts: I want what I gotta get.
Deniro: You're gonna get it.
lol
😄😄😄
Jimmy: “ Look what that mutt did to my shoes!”
Tommy: “ Don’t worry, I’ll go home and get my f****n shine box. I’ll have them looking like mirrors!”

The face Deniro makes when he’s kicking Billy Bats 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
More like stomping his face 😂 he was enjoying it a little to much right
I love that face 😂😂
Goddamn,scary.
Dirtbags make specific facial expressions like that. He did it in Raging Bull also, that looking away and down; the scene with Tommy and Vicky.
Why post a video when you ain't got the balls not to censor it?
He did miss one. Not the same when it's censored
DeNiro and that stomp dance at 3:10. It never gets old
Stand a little furthr from the camera and microphone next time so we cn't hear you at all.

That whole situation escalated rather quickly 😲 RIP Ray liotta and Frank Vincent
Billy Batts went on to have a good role on The Sopranos, no shine box jokes there
He always compromised.
I just gotta say arguably the best mobster film ever made in the history of time.
Excluding the Godfathers (a little different), I agree.
See a guy get his head stomped in, but can't hear the word F**K in the video. Because? It's obscene! (homage to Brando)
Guess Billy don't need his shoes shined anymore 😂
So where did Billy's mates suddenly disappear to?
