The scene where Tommy is hitting Billy Batts is shot really weird, so it's easy to miss what happened with the gun. Tommy beat Batts with the revolver so hard the gun broke apart, which is what actually happened in real life. The thing where he wasn't dead and him getting stabbed in the trunk really happened too, but they didn't shoot him, that was just for dramatic effect in the movie.
Was over in the next room but left the sound on. I have never heard anyone laugh so much through Goodfellas. I hear Liotta's voice, laughing, duck quacks, gunshots, repeat....a truly unique (and fun) Goodfellas experience.
@@AwesomeUSMovies Ease up on the quacks. Its TH-cam. Swearing is not verboten. Enough of that shit already. Play the goddamn movie the way it was meant to be played. What the hell is wrong with you?
Oooooo The Sopranos. I don't expect we'll be seeing the edited version here😆SO much editing you'd have to do! Great series though, one of the few I ever bought the box set for...Rome and Battlestar Galactica ('04-'09) being others.😂
@@AwesomeUSMovies It was stated in the book 'Wiseguy' that the movie is based on. There's a lot of details that the movie leaves out that you have to piece together later on. Nice reaction btw. I think you'll enjoy the Sopranos. A lot of actors from here are featured in that show.
I always love the way Pauly acts when the guy is asking him to become partners in the restaurant. He acts like its a bit of a burden but it’s exactly what he wants.
❤RIP Ray Liotta. Such a loss to the acting world. You always have the best reactions! As I’ve said before, watching you is like enjoying the film for the first time again!
Trivia: 1. Ray Liotta (Henry Hill) was previously on this channel in the "Field of Dreams" reaction as Shoeless Joe Jackson. In addition to Cape Fear, Robert De Niro was Shadow in Backdraft. 2. David Chase, the creator of The Sopranos, obviously used this movie as inspiration. 27 different actors appear in both projects, most notably Lorraine Bracco. 3. Nominated for six Oscars in 1990: Best Picture, Best Director (Martin Scorsese), Best Supporting Actor (Joe Pesci), Best Supporting Actress (Lorraine Bracco), Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Film Editing. Joe Pesci won in the Supporting Actor category. 4. Editor Thelma Schoonmaker has done most of Scorsese's films since they were in NYU film school together. 5. Two famous lines are still well-quoted from this movie: Henry's opening line, "As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster," and the "You think I'm funny?" line. Much of the "You think I'm funny?" scene was improvised by Joe Pesci and Ray Liotta. 6. Martin Scorsese's parents appear in cameos - his mother plays Tommy's mother, and his father plays Vinnie. 7. The American Film Institute (AFI) named this as the second-greatest gangster film of all time, ahead of Godfather Part II and only behind the first Godfather movie. 8. Scorsese, De Niro, and Pesci all previously collaborated together in Raging Bull, ten years earlier.
Not only did Scorsese's parents have a cameo, but when the Hills agree to turn state's evidence and enter witness protection, the federal agent with whom they're negotiating ("I don't wanna go anywhere that's cold.") is played by the actual federal agent who handled the real Henry Hill case, and who had that same conversation with them for real.
Pesci won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for this during the filming of My Cousin Vinny and brought the award to the set (it's when Vinny FINALLY falls asleep while in contenpt). If you liked this, you will LOVE Sopranos!! James Gandolfini is a tour du force in it. Taken far too soon from us.
@milannesic5718 Well, nothing really touches the classics agreed, but as far as not liking Sporanos, I say to each their own, and I respect that opinion.
The cool part about this movie is the prosecuter talking to Henry and his wife at the end is the real prosecuter from the actual trial. The real Henry Hill died a few years ago now, i think back in 2012.
You’ll see that quite a few actors in Goodfellas later became cast members for The Sopranos. 27 to be exact.Some had very small roles in Goodfellas but you’ll recognize them it down the road you watch the film again after your Sopranos journey. I also highly recommend the audiobook of Wise Guys which the film is based on. Fills in a lot of back story and is a bit grittier. A lot grittier. Like that scene where he is beaming car windows and setting them on fire was a rival Cab Company that was cutting into Paulie’s territory. Little things like that. It’s fantastic.
Fun fact, when they're naming the people in the restaurant, Michael Franzese comes up.. he has a podcast on here. Interesting to listen to some of his stories about the mob
The girlfriend was cutting the cocaine. You can't do pure cocaine and cutting it also allows you to make more money by increasing the volume. It's usually cut with baby laxative.
Since you're doing The Sopranos you probably won't recognize him but Paulie Walnuts has a small role in this film. He was one of the guys eating sausage sandwiches with Paulie. But this was before the wings. Lol he was a real gangster back in the day. Spider is Christopher and Henry's wife is Dr Melfi.
The reason the other guys in the heist were bumped off was because Jimmy was getting nervous that they were drawing too much attention to themselves spending lavishly…how would they have suddenly gotten flush with money so close in time to the Lufthansa heist? Jimmy thought they were going to get them all caught.
The actress playing Henry's wife, Karen Hill, plays a main character in "The Sopranos": Dr Jennifer Melfi The actor playing Spider, the bar kid that Joe Pesci shot in the foot and later in the chest, plays a main character in "The Sopranos": Christopher Moltisanti
@@AwesomeUSMovies you're right, I was just surprised since everyone usually goes with a shocked face. Hey are you going to keep watching Breaking Bad? It's what I subscribed for
I’ve never been interested in seeing this movie but the fact that James is laughing on the thumbnail makes me think of reconsidering. Respectfully won’t be watching this reaction in case I do end up watching the movie. I will then watch the reaction.
RIP Ray Liotta. I see him laugh and all I can hear is "Ty Cobb wanted to play too, but none of us like him when he was alive, so we told him to stick it."
Best Gangster Flick Of All Time! Nominated for 8 Oscars including Best Picture but won for Best Supporting Actor Joe Pesci. DANCES WITH WOLVES took home the other 7 Oscars including Best Picture. RIP Ray Liotta, 1954-2022.
😂😂😂Never laughed so hard at Good Fellas. Your laugh is infectious!!!! Great reaction! Can’t wait for the Sopranos. The Godfather is a must at some point in the future.
Great to hear it thanks. Sopranos will only be on Patreon sorry.. editing would be a nightmare on TH-cam. but... I'm giving all new Patreon members a 7-day free trail. go check it out.
Tommy was such a lose cannon because his brother was a snitch. He would get a lot of flack for it and they'd question his loyalty. So he became so crazy that nobody would be willing to say anything.
So when he is saying the namemof the guys at the bar the last one was Michael Franzese. He actually now has a you tube channel and he talks about his time in the organization and even talks about Goodfellas and Henry Hill
Btw, Cape Fear is one of the few re-makes, like "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers" where the original B&W is just as good & worth a watch as the excellent re-makes! ✌🌎❤
Ooh youre going to do Sopranos? You just got another Patreon sub :) Sopranos is amazing. Yes its about the mob, but its not just that, its about life, and family, its incredibly well written -ive seen the whole series numerous times and still catch new things.
Henry Hill got out of prison early and used to call into Howard Stern all the time back in the day, and also went into their studio for TV appearances lol. He died, but not because he got whacked. He was a massive alcoholic, too.
I saw this in the theaters on a 1st date. I didn't know what it was about, just that it was getting rave reviews. That opening scene lol I thought for sure I messed up. But we ended up dating for 2 years and she really enjoyed mafia movies so it all worked out.
@russellward4624 I made the same mistake taking a girlfriend to see "True Romance". I thought I was being the great new boyfriend by going to see a romantic/chick flick with her. NOT! But the best part was she loved it. I married her.
I always watch this every other year or so. The actors are my favorites Ray LIOTTA, FUN FACT: my ex and I rented a house decades ago… our landlords were Ray and Liotta… that was funny 😆 R.I.P. Ray LIOTTA, he made some really cool movies as well. Love Joe Pesci, and Robert Dinero as well
read a book from the guy who invented witness protection program. his first client was absurd and violent. it was an italian american they had to keep housed, with his team, and the guy got agitated without understanding they were trying to help him.
This and CASINO are my two favorite movies in this genre. I hope you'll consider reacting to it. No, I wouldn't live this life. I couldn't imagine having to look over my shoulder like that.
A couple other good true story mob movies: "The Valachi Papers" (1972) "Donnie Brasco" (1997) "Serpico" (1973) "The French Connection" (1971) "The French Connection Part 2" (1975) "Black Mass" (2015) "Casino" (1995) "Blow" (2001)
When you get to The Godfather, you can skip The Godfather Part III… BUT I and II are must watches. Both best picture Oscar winners are put up as The Greatest Film of all time.
OMG! You are finally with the mob movies. So so good. I do not know if you might want to watch Casino another good mob movie. Also The Godfather parts 1,2,and 3 just amazing. Please all these types of movies are very violent. I love them all.
IMO Goodfellas is the best mob movie ( love The Departed too) , I think you will enjoy The Sopranos lots of actors in Goodfellas are in the sopranos. Henry Hills life was insane I remember hearing him tell stories on Howard Stern. Great reaction!
Unfortunatly it won't be on TH-cam. Way to much editing to get it here. But.. I'm giving 7-day free trails of for all new patreon members. go check it out
This movie and Casino are pretty much interchangeable, both are good but similar. The Godfather movies are long like this one but kinda boring. Just my opinion. Side Note; New Jack City is a movie worth watching.
Tommy didn’t need to be a made man. He wasn’t emotionally stable enough & he’d have tore the whole family down. Tho my favorite line of his is: “There’s a leg! There’s a wing!!! Henry, Waddya like the legs or the wings!!! Or do ya go for the ol’ hearts & lungs?!??” He was a twisted SOB 🤯
Okay, this might be the 50th time "seeing" this. They never explain why Jimmy isn't held just as accountable as Tommy for Billy's murder. My favorite scene is when they stop by Tommy's for a shovel, that actress who plays his mother is exactly like my grandmother. I think it may be Martin Scorcese's mother
Tommy was a loose cannon and Jimmy was a top earner. But Tommy was considered to be part of the real "La Cosa Nostra" due to his Sicilian bloodline. Therefore Tommy Knew better than to kill another Sicilian made guy.
@@laudanum669 I suppose...although I kind of feel like that would make Jimmy more vulnerable to the vendetta. Being a top earner yet not immune from retribution(?) Anyway, always a good watch.
The Sopranos is my favorite of anything. It's a comedy that accidentally became the best drama of all time. Season 1 is rough though and even I didn't like the first 5 episodes. Season 1 episode 6 is where it hooked me.
@@AwesomeUSMovies I enjoy your reactions btw, you have an interesting perspective and you seem to catch almost everything after a onetime viewing. All those years of reading have sharpened your mind, no doubt.
Could you please, please do "My Blue Heaven"? No one has reacted to this. It's a Steve Martin, Rick Moranis, and Joan Cusack movie, super funny and related to Goodfellas. It was done by Nora Ephron-- her husband did Goodfellas and they were both released a month apart.
@squidproquo1130 Right? I can't find a single reaction to that movie on YT. It really is an overlooked gem, not super strong on the plot. However it is pretty damn funny.
This is one of the greatest movies ever, and here it is being intentionally debased about a hundred times by inserting about a hundred duck quacks. I don't know what to say.
Are there many Godfather spoilers in The Sopranos? I seem to recall the characters regularly referencing them by number (1, 2, 3). Hopefully your Patrons make sure you've seen them all before any potential spoilers come up in the show.

Tommy's mother was played by Scorsese's real life mother.
Really??? That's awesome
@@AwesomeUSMovies She is also in "Casino" (1995)
And Scorsese's Dad is the guy in prison who puts too many onions in the sauce and can be seen stirring the pot.
"Why?" The scene where Henry sets fire to all those cars was a rival cab company that refused to sell to Paulie. So they burned them out.
How did you know that?? I must have missed it
@@AwesomeUSMovies

Fun fact, when they're naming the people in the restaurant, Michael Franzese comes up.. he has a podcast on here. Interesting to listen to some of his stories about the mob
Joe Pesci actually grew up around a bunch of wise guys. The "how am I funny?" scene is actually something a gangster did to him when he was young
that's crazy
De Niro and Scorsese too, grew up around people like that.
The pizza oven scene sold me on my first viewing years and years ago. Fantastic film.

I think he also wanted to keep the money more for himself than split it.
@@simplyjuannie5128 I’m sure that was also a strong incentive.

DONNY BRASCO is a great mafia film too. Under rated.
Wow! Almost nobody mentions Donnie Brasco when talking mafia movies. That is such a good film.
Stacks, the guy they shot for falling asleep and not getting rid of the truck was Samuel L Jackson.

Sopranos? Yes! Not that it matters but I absolutely support this idea.
Great reaction James to one of my favourite gangster movies but very violent Not for the faint hearted I hope u get to watch The departed and Casino
Added to my list, thanks for the suggestion.
It's called "Breaking the 4th wall" when you talk or look directly into the camera
Thanks
One does not simply "prepare" for The Sopranos. You need to have Italian food and wine standing by for each episode.
My favorite part so far is Paulie being pissed Starbucks took there heritage. Then he walks over and steels a french press. sooo funny.
CASINO is Scorsese's best mob movie
In case you didn't notice Stax was played by Samuel L Jackson
NO... I totally didn't notice that.. Dang
Classic. One of the best movies ever made
Great movie! It must be crazy living in this type of life! RIP Ray
"hey teenager, don't call from my house"

A lot of people referred to Casino as just Goodfellas Lite, and really, I can't argue with that.

IMO Goodfellas is the best mob movie ( love The Departed too) , I think you will enjoy The Sopranos lots of actors in Goodfellas are in the sopranos. Henry Hills life was insane I remember hearing him tell stories on Howard Stern. Great reaction!

Hi
This movie and Casino are pretty much interchangeable, both are good but similar. The Godfather movies are long like this one but kinda boring. Just my opinion. Side Note; New Jack City is a movie worth watching.
The next obvious recommendation is Casino. It's like this but in Vegas
According to thumbnail, Tommy's old crew would like to know WTF IS SO FUNNY, PAL?!!!
😳
There is a lot of comedy in this one.
@@AwesomeUSMovies I see Scarface in your future!😎
The thumbnail threw me. Would he use the same one for ‘Schindler’s List’?...probably.🤔😎
Samuel L. Jackson is in everything, lol. Did you see him?
NO... I totally missed him.
This film is funny, how? Does it amuse you?
Yup... love it
You know Henry Hill in this because you watched Field of Dreams, where he was Shoeless Joe Jackson.
Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me
Hey Frankie 2x lol
You should watch 'Casino.' Another great mob movie set in Las Vegas with a lot of the same cast.

Could you please, please do "My Blue Heaven"? No one has reacted to this. It's a Steve Martin, Rick Moranis, and Joan Cusack movie, super funny and related to Goodfellas. It was done by Nora Ephron-- her husband did Goodfellas and they were both released a month apart.
@squidproquo1130 Right? I can't find a single reaction to that movie on YT. It really is an overlooked gem, not super strong on the plot. However it is pretty damn funny.
Added to my list, thanks for the suggestion.
This is one of the greatest movies ever, and here it is being intentionally debased about a hundred times by inserting about a hundred duck quacks. I don't know what to say.
This is my favorite gangster movie! And omg I absolutely LOVE the Sopranos. Have you seen any other gangster movies?
Nope, this is my first
If you liked this, you might consider watching TAXI DRIVER, another great Scorsese/DeNiro movie. I think people would enjoy your take on this.
Are there many Godfather spoilers in The Sopranos? I seem to recall the characters regularly referencing them by number (1, 2, 3). Hopefully your Patrons make sure you've seen them all before any potential spoilers come up in the show.
Apparently lots of Father spoilers so far
Joe Pesci was brilliant in this, but I think De Niro gave just as great a performance, if not better.
Agreed
