- The film GoodFellas made cinematic history in 1990 and was nominated for six academy awards. This is the actual location where Billy Batts was severely beaten on June 11, 1970 and taken to Connecticut to be buried under a dog kennel. John Gotti swore revenge on all of them but instead murdered Tommy DeSimone.
#BillyBatts #GoodFellas #TheSuite
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!
All brilliant Martin Scorcese (Spelling?) Films!!!
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.
Tommy never had the making of a varsity shoe shiner.
Billy Batts: I want what I gotta get.
Deniro: You're gonna get it.
lol
😄😄😄
Just here to say RIP Ray Liotta.
Unbeliable, RIP to an iconic actor
Rest in peace to Frank Vincent, Ray Liotta and Paul Sorvino.
This movie Frank Vincent gets buried by Joe pesci, In casino, Frank Vincent buries Joe pesci
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.

"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]..."

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.
Doesn't he say that in the video?
@@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.
Shogun! 👍 Shogun Hibachi

2:52 Uncle Phil talking about how he still did his time in another life. Brilliant.
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.
I love this video! It teaches us - to control our mouth and lips whenever we are talking and exchanging friendly and awkward words.
😂😂😂
Especially when you're drunk !!
@@Theoriginalbigbrillo you have a very good point and it is absolutely true! Great observation.
How 'bout a video to show the benefits of self-control and diplomacy?
@@sirbarnabyst.johntoffingto9017 I appreciate what you are trying to say and have in mind, but there is something you are forgetting - our human nature is much more vulnerable to violence than otherwise; Therefore, your point of view cannot be very influential. Under the harsh and challenging as well as demanding circumstances which Mankind is surviving, the method which you have in mind cannot be very effective - perhaps it could be useful to some extent. Good day!
Tommy couldn’t believe the Shah of Iran was drinking at that bar.
The look on Henry's face when Tommy said I didn't want to get blood on your floor is hilarious lol
He looks like the “Shaw of Iran”
Side note: In the 70s before Pesci and Vincent broke, they were in a band and had an insult routine where they'd rip the hell out of each other. "Insulted him a little bit."
Yup frank drummed and Joey played guitar.
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)
Billy Batts went on to have a good role on The Sopranos, no shine box jokes there
He always compromised.
DeNiro and that stomp dance at 3:10. It never gets old
That whole situation escalated rather quickly 😲 RIP Ray liotta and Frank Vincent
Love how they silence the "bad" words but the brutal beating and killing off the man was ok to show. Lollll
😂
Love the way De Niro is so polite.
😊 True.
Okay☺️, this emoji is literally Deniro's sneaky smirk
Frank Vincent and Joe Pesci were best friends in real life, and the woman who played Tommy’s mom was Martin Scorsese’s mother.
Frank Vincent and Joe Pesci played in Goodfellas, Casino, and also Raging Bull ..Pesci gave him a beating in that movie as well lol
@@anthonyscarpa6107 But Frank got his payback (or should I say paybat) in Casino
@@jmbooze9346He sure did
Is weird how this guys can hug,drink, jokes to each others,and next thing u know they killed each other shit is crazy.
Well, after all, they are career criminals and murderers.
I just gotta say arguably the best mobster film ever made in the history of time.
Excluding the Godfathers (a little different), I agree.
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 .
My boy said keep him here keep him here 💀
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
Joe pesci was the star of this movie.
Guess Billy don't need his shoes shined anymore 😂
Love it...
"Sorry about the blood on your floor..."
Henry just kinda stares.
RIP RAY LIOTTA and Frank Vincent
R.I.P.: Frank Vincent and Ray Liotta
and Paul Sorvino
*He did insulted him a little bit though*
"Now, now, now..."
Na I didn't insult nobody, drinks are on me.
@@jackmullane6716 drinks are on... THE HOUSE.
@@HeisenbergTheFirst Nobody is gonna break up my party
That's the kind of History they don't teach in school. I give it two thumbs up
He said more than a couple of three things..😂😂
He compromised 😏😏😁
Billys last comment sealed his fate
That final analysis of the painting cracked me up😆
Me too! 😄 That had me dying laughing (over and over again) so I just had to add it in! 😊 Thanks for watching that far! 😄❤️
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
When he screams “MOTHER-“ its so iconic
3:14 DE Niro's helicopter always gets me
Sir; if you make another video we ask that you have the microphone closer to you. Thank you for the video -cheers
The movie scene was filmed inside the Spartan Restaurant in Maspeth, Queens NY. The restaurant was torn down over 10 years ago..
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.
U see how jimmy didn’t argue wit billy was cause he was Made so he just had to agree wit him for the moment
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
Jimmy was a major earner in real life, so maybe that’s why Pauline covered for him.
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! 👍👍
As Henry locks the door, he knows they are fucked!
The moment he said drinks on the house the beef wasn't over he should of left when he had the chance
In Tommy's defense, Billy did insult him a little bit
Nah, he didn't insult nobody.
OKAY 👌
I do not insult people but no one can insult me either , I walk
Stand a little furthr from the camera and microphone next time so we cn't hear you at all.
That's why the subtitles lol
The mic was obviously not a varsity athlete
That's actually funny. 😀 But the recorder died.
the. look on pesci when he pops up and atlantis by donavan. comes on is price less a great song playing the 50s and 60s music through out the movie was a great idea
That’s makes 26 total years in the can for Phil Leotardo - that we know of. Tommy shoulda told him to go get his grilled cheese off the radiata
I get the 6 years where did the 20 years come from.
I never heard a peep about that
When Tommy said i'm sorry....man u should've left it like that Billy.......
Exactly. Once Tommy took his wife outta there, we knew what was coming next. He even says “keep him here.”
He did 20 years in the can and his family only survived the ordeal thanks to his kid brother.
How the hell Dances with Wolves beat this at the Academy's I'll never freakin know man.. unbelievable 😒
Good question.
classic so hope to visit this place of history.
"As far back from the mic as I can be, I always wanted to be a narrator "
😂 Funny! The pocket recorder died "Whaddya gunna do?!" 😂
@@mikenewyork Funny how?? Like I'm a clown ? I'm here to amuse you ?
@@v8cool231 😂
😂
"Don't get noivous, dont get noivous...''
Ironically Frank Vincent's character in another mob movie (Casino) would kill Joe Pesci's character with a BAT.......
Revenge is a dish best served, in another movie LOL
Forgot about that. Funny how that worked.😲🚇🤣🗽
"Drinks are on THE ..house" lol x
Drinks are on the house and Billy is under it! 😂
And don't forget Tommy De Simmone was mellowed down in the movie!
And much shorter.
tommy does a good job of subtly revealing that he has a conscience after he does something crazy... probably why he won the oscar.
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.
😂
@@mikenewyork I think I read somewhere that that scene was ad-libbed in the kitchen????🤔🤔🤔
@@user-wp6eh1gi4z Wow! That’s a neat trivial item. I can see these guys doing that while comfortable in the kitchen. 😊Awesome 👏👍
Grilled cheese on the rad-e-at-or.
According to the movie, it took 5 years for Batts' revenge to happen.
It took 9 years in the book.
@matthewriley7826 that's still a long time. Don't you think?
Frank Vincent was a legend. Loved him as Philly Leotardo too, was great in everything
1 think what really upset Tommy was the fact that he spent all day blowing up balloons and decorating for Billy's party just to be insulted.
One rule never touch a made man
Why is this guy standing so far back from the camera I can barely hear what he's saying
They put emphasis on that “drinks are on the house line” like nooo we run this shit lol
I like how Denero said OK and smiled
When he said you keep him hear twice you keep him hear RUN
RIP Frank Vincent and Ray Liotta 🙏
lots of these great guys made it to the Soprano series..but pesci is something
"I like being all grown up and doing the town!"
"One dog goes one way, the other dog goes the other way". Why didn't Picasso think of that?
Love that line! 😄
Standing in a different zip code to the camera may not have been the best idea.
I used to teach swimming to kids right next door to that Hibachi spot 😂
Absolutely love this movie
Batts was out of line - he had it coming. RIP
He was a made man lol that's one of the perks he could of done whatever back then 🤣 getcha fucking shine box 🎁🥴😂
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.
Jimmy already knew in advance that Tommy will not be made but gone.
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.
I didnt want to get blood on your floor... hill was so shocked that thats what was going through his head! Haha
The way dinero steps over pepsci to stop in a little more lol
Nice job with the sound
That was my neighbor hood back in the 70s and forest park 🏞️ was my playground
They knew they were going to kill him when they said drinks on the house.
Oh yeah, they were ready to whack him.
Power of movies
This happened n real life like the man said!
Billy Batts was within the rules, Tommy wasn't a made guy.
My favorite scene in movies ever
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 really love this video! This kind of killing I personally call it a perfect example of righteousness... 😂😂😂
I was thinking why Jimmy wanted Billy killed, but thanks for explaining it. Makes a lot of sense now
Lot of money in it for Burke. 👍
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...
@@melbourne-heat.69-71 You are absolutely on the money with that. 👍
Well, Jimmy tried to balance the scales with Batts, who didn't get it. Then Jimmy says "OK" and that was that. Jimmy was calling off the hit but Batts refused it.
Batts was a Made man, Jimmy was not and neither was Tommy, so Tommy had to eat the BS coming out of Batts mouth. His best move to live to an older age would have been to walk away completely
And that was the problem with Jimmy, too greedy, too impulsive. Honestly he’s lucky he was a good earner otherwise Paulie would’ve gotten rid of him long ago.
The look on Jimmy's face at 01:24.....he knew what was coming!
He told him to keep him here i knew he was gonna kill ole boy
Damn good movie
I'm going to get my shine box... stay here, I'll be right back!
Shine Box.. Laughing... NOW go home and get your Shine Box!
This movie is epic.
While Deniro kicks him his left arm is air punching.
robert deniro does a great dinero impression.
you talking to me??
