Fun fact: The guy talking to Henry and Karen about the witness protection program is the actual prosecutor that dealt with the real Henry
🤔🤔🤔
Ed McDonald
Another fun fact: the cop putting a gun to Henry's head in the driveway is real life ex cop Bo Dietl.
I never knew that. Thank you
I always loved that fact!
So the lady playing Tommy's mom is actually Martin Scorsese's mother. And that whole conversation with her was all adlib. No one had lines they were told just to act like they normally would. And as you see the scene came out awesome, so natural.
She was also in Casino
His dad is Vinnie in the prison scene putting too many onions in the sauce 😉
Manee it’s good to see the young folks watch the true classics 💯💯
The actor Paul Sorvino, s grandfather is the first person to sell sliced pizza in America, before that pizza was sold whole.
The reason Billy Bats (guy at the bar who told Tommy to "get his shoe shine box") taunted and insulted Tommy with no fear of repurcussions was because Billy Bats was considered untouchable in the Mafia. He was a 'Made Man', which meant he was protected by both his own mob family, and the rules laid out in the Mafia Commission charter. Tommy wasn't a Made Man. He was a low level associate without any protection of his own.
By Le Cosa Nostra law, Billy Bats could insult Tommy all he wants, and Tommy could do nothing about it besides stand there and take it. Tommy didn't abide by that rule. He killed a Made Man from a different family without permission from the Commission, which is an automatic death sentence in the mob. This is why Billy Bats wasn't concerned with taking it too far. Any attempt to challenge him (Billy) on it would be suicide. Surely Tommy wouldn't that stupid, right?
*Fun Fact:* In real life, the mobster who killed Tommy was John Gotti; the future boss of the Gambino family. Tommy was killed by the man who would later become the most famous mob boss in America
Even if Tommy was a member, he would still need to get permission.
You better watch talking about Tommy like that.
@@6strings1pickup12 Pretty sure that wherever Tommy ended up (guest of Lucifer Morningstar) he's got more pressing concerns than what someone says in a youtube comment section. Also anyone in La Cosa Nostra probably couldn't give a rats ass what's said either.
Edit: Fixed a typo.
@@stanleydavidlepretre4241 You have been warned my friend.

I loved your reaction to Pulp Fiction and now Goodfellas. You guys are one of the best reaction channels out. I love the well thought out observations and comments about the scenes, and especially the overall thoughts on the entire movie at the end. It makes a great experience.
Awhile ago I watched a TH-cam video explaining why Tommy and not Jimmy was punished for killing Billy Batts.
The reason that Jimmy went along with Tommy to kill Batts because it was over a racket. Before Batts went to prison, he own a successful racket. After Batts went to prison, Jimmy took over the racket. After Batts got out of prison, he demanded that Jimmy hand the racket back over to him but Jimmy didn't want to because he was making good money off the racket but he knew that he would eventually hand the racket back over to Batt because he was a made man. So Jimmy decided that Batts got to go in order to keep the racket.
The reason that Jimmy was spared it was because he was what the mafia called a good earner. No matter what Jimmy did, either robbery or racketeering or other crimes to make money, he would kick some of that money upstairs to Paulie and the higher ups and they figured that killing Jimmy would be like cutting off their main income. According to the real life Henry Hill, Batts was friends with this big time gangster named John Gotti and Gotti knew it was Jimmy and Tommy who killed Batts and he wanted them dead but the higher ups wouldn't let Gotti touch them because Jimmy was a good earner. They also wanted Jimmy to be a happy earner and they figure that keeping Tommy around, knowing that he's part of Jimmy's crew would make him happy. But over time Tommy started to become a liability by killing people outright and when he tried to r-word Henry's wife, that was the final straw. While Henry was in prison, his wife Karen had an affair with Paulie and when Tommy found out about the affair he considered her a slut and try to r-word her but she got away and told Paulie what Tommy tried to do. Fed up with Tommy, Paulie picked the phone up called the Gambino family and Gotti and gave them the green light to kill Tommy on the condition that they didn't touch Jimmy. According to the real life Henry Hill. Gotti personally killed Tommy himself by torturing him to death.
It is kind of odd that nobody tried to get Jimmy in prison though, since Gotti became boss of bosses and Paulie lost all power to protect him when Henry's testimony gutted his crew and sent him up.
To clarify the timeline, Batts was killed in 1970, Gotti wasn’t a made man until 1977, and Tommy disappeared in 1979.
Tommy was likey not killed for Billy Batts, or at the very least not just Batts. Tommy had killed another Gambino, who was a close friend of Gotti's in 78 (i think). The most likey story is that he was lured to the hit thinking he was going to be made, and Gotti fresh out of prison (and made by then) had one of his guys do it, but was probably present for it. no one's sure or spoken about what Jimmy or Paulie's involvement was, but Paul pretty much had to have given the go ahead, and Jimmy probably wasn't involved. Also Batts most likely wasn't a made guy, and I have heard that the other Gambino guy was made, but i've also heard that he wasn't. Either way everyone was probably already tired of his crap, as everyone depicted in this movie was way worse than whats shown here, especially Tommy.
Henry Hill was known to exaggerate and even make false claims. Then again it's hard to know who is telling the truth when it's a bunch of ex-gangsters talking. Henry had said that he heard Gotti did it from another guy, and that guy says he never said that to Henry. There's 3 different stories about who hit Tommy, but the most plausable one points to Gotti's personal hit man, who's name i forgot.
@@chrisdobbs9155 Yeah, if it was Gotti (whether in person or by order), it wasn't _only_ for Batts, but also for Ronald Jerothe (who Tommy killed in 1974). I'm not aware of any reliable contradictions of Batts being a made man (since 1961), but I think it was Jerothe who was not made, just close with Gotti. Gotti definitely had motives to do it. Then again, so did plenty of other guys, for plenty of other reasons. When it comes down to it, I don't really know, and I'm pretty sure that nobody is still alive who could truly tell us one way or the other.
@@chrisdobbs9155 well it true that Tommy was lured to his death thinking that he would be made. That's the reason why he killed Stacks when he screw up and became a liability. From what I heard, him and Stacks was friends but when he became a liability, Tommy was ordered to kill, promising him that he would be a made man.
Paulie gave the go-ahead to kill Tommy because he was fed up with him and Jimmy was spared because he was a good earner but he wasn't involved in Tommy's murder nor does he want Tommy dead because not only he was his friend but he had high hopes for him to one day be made since he could never be made because he's Irish and according to the real life Henry Hill, Jimmy received a phone call telling him that Tommy is dead. He was so upset that he slammed the phone down hard and start crying.
Henry Hill really is known for exaggerate. He claims he knew Sonny Black. The scene where Tommy kills the bartender after he told him to go and f**k himself, nobody couldn't find any records of that bartender not even a birth certificate led some people believe that Henry may have made that up.
According to people that knew Tommy, Joe Pesci did a perfect job of playing him.
So during the scene where he is introducing the guys sitting at the bar, he mentions Michael Franzese. He now has a youtube channel and when discussing goodfellas he said he didnt even know they were gonna use his name because he was with the Colombo Family and Henry worked for the Luchesse family. When he asked them why they added his name in they said because he was a known name. He had nothing to do with the Luchesse family.
Michael Franzese also said he got out because basically it is just a stupid life now that is getting more and more difficult with technology. In relation to Jyn and Ryls discussion in the olden days before dna technology it was a lot easier. Now Michael says himself the police are paid just to sit on phones and listen all day but also follow/tail the biggest players, one mistake and they're done. Cameras are everywhere and everyone now has a mobile phone in their pockets and we all know what they are capable of achieving. Michael also said the higher up you go the bigger the target you have on your back from the police and fellow gangsters.
One thing he said that stayed with me was that he walked in and out of hundreds probably thousands of rooms in the "sit down" context, but he said there was one time he was lucky to walk out and he still doesn't know how he did. That stopped him from ever putting himself in that situation again, must have been intense.
Franzese had a great scam going with gasoline taxes that made the Mob millions of dollars I watch him as well on YT. He set up a bunch of shell companies and by the NY State realized no one was paying the gas taxes they would be long gone with the cash.
Tommy wasn't an official member yet. Batts was. He can talk to whoever he wants how he wants if they are beneath his rank. Tommy fucked up.
About the shine box. The guy Billy Batts was a made guy. That means he was an official member of a mafia family. Tommy wasn’t made so if he put his hands on him it’s a death sentence. Which is what happened to him.
You two have become my favorite reactors✌
That was an excellent analysis of the gangster lifestyle.
You are both very insightful.
You ladies are funny...yes you amuse me!😂
Funny like a clown?!? 😅
I've read the book Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi (written during a series of interviews with Henry Hill) which this film was based on, they left quite a lot out of the movie. Jimmy, Tommy and Paulie were all much more brutal in real life than they were depicted here!
In real life, the guy Tommy is based on really was taken out. He was a total loose cannon and interfered with business. Plus, he killed a made man and that was unforgivable.
And they never found his body unlike what is said in the movie. Batts was John Gotti's friend so they figure Gotti whacked him.
Yep Tommy DeSimone was the real guy. Not sure if I spelled it right.
They say he was even more insane than Joe Pesci portrayed him too.
You ladies do great reviews !!!
"He ended up a rat and a schnook, ha-ha-ha-ha...... That was so innocent and cute😀 Good job, girls.
you two are smart and funny.. and good conversation at end.., thanks!
Tommy is crazy as hell........ no doubt
One of the best mafia films ever made! Classic!❤
The best mafia film ever made and one of the best films of all time.
@@samsabruskongen IMO it's a tie with Godfather Part 2
You should watch Casino next. A lot of the actors frok this movie are in Casino and Joe Peschi still plays a lunatic in Casino too. Loved watching this with you both.
Great reaction, guys. Really good fun watching along with you, and fascinating listening to your chat afterwards.
Hope you react to more movies and shows.
I don’t know if someone in the comments mentioned it already but the reason Joe Pesci performance is as good as it it is is because HE WAS ABOUT THAT LIFE pesci was an actual gangster
*Fun fact* The prosecutor who puts Henry in witness protection is played by ED McDonald, the real Henry Hill's actual federal prosecutor.
You two are doing a phenomenal job, I really enjoy watching your reactions to these movies. 🍻
Just found you guys about a month ago and love your stuff. I couldn’t place your accent because you both speak such good English. I finally looked at your bio and saw you are from Jamaica. I feel dumb now. 😂 Keep up the great reactions!!
Ladies if it's your first Martin Scorsese movie, I am happy for you because there is so much more for you to discover.
Great reaction you two, and you made me laugh. Schnook! Really funny, you're really funny...
“Maybe in the foot” made me laugh too hard.
Love your channel, nice movie selection too...
So what henry said about guys going in is kinda true. When you are at a certain level and gave been playing the game for a long time. Other than somebody flipping most of the time when people got pinched alcohol or drugs were involved meaning they were either getting high or drunk way to much when they got pinched, because they got sloppy.
Great and fun reaction girls. Like your comments and analysis, most people stereotype Italians and think all Italians are in the life. You girls don’t think that way. Jyn you are gorgeous ❤
You are the only reactors that understand the Christmas 🎄 tree. He had to splurge and buy something to celebrate, but the most expensive tree is still a minor purchase that isn't suspicious
You recognized the ice pick rather quickly
That was a great reaction, great reaction.
Love y'all reaction, not much talkin', just reacting. P.E.ace from overseas The Netherlands.
Great reaction ladies!!
I love how you girls pay attention and understand everything. Very interesting analysis after. "A rat and a shnook". lol nice.
Yeah that part when Jimmy motions for Karen to go into that store was pretty weird. It seems like he's trying to help her, but at the same time it also seems like he's trying to get her wacked. Its hard to decide. It can almost go either way. I also like Robert Dinero's acting at the phone booth when he finds out Tommy just got wacked. You can just feel his pain. It almost makes you kind of sort of feel sorry for him, but then you realize all the bad stuff he's done. It's still a great scene though.
It was guys in the store either waiting for Karen or working but they stopped when she was about to come in
@@will_cashgrow2294 Yeah most guys probably would stop when they see a beautiful lady about to walk in like that. Its hard to say what that was about. Lol. It could go either way.
I def believe he was gonna have her killed. No way the way he was acting was soooo shady.
@@mistyxmarlboro Lol. He definitely was acting shady no doubt. Maybe he was trying to freak her out, make her think he was trying to have her wacked. I don't know. It seems to me if he had hired those guys to wack her, they'd be hiding waiting to attack her, not moving furniture, or whatever those guys were doing. Lol. It's the weirdest scene. If I'd ever meet Robert Deniro that's a scene I would ask him about.
This film is a classic! Good reaction girls. Your reaction was with respect!
Great reaction and analysis to a classic film. Glad you both liked it.
Signed, a fellow shnook. Lol
You got Jyn looking this way, Kyl looking that way...and I'm in the middle saying whaddya want from me
Mafia ranks are from lowest to highest Associate (Henry Hill), Soldier (Jimmy and Tommy) Made man (Billy Batts) Captain (Paulie) Under boss (Not show in movie but was Vic Amuso) and Boss (not shown in movie but was Anthony Corallo)
Paulie was also an unofficial underboss to Carmine Tramunti. When Paulie got out of prison in 1975, though, Corallo was in charge, and had his own underboss. So Paulie had to step aside (in fact, he stepped aside all the way to Miami). He retained some power, but it was definitely diminished.
Kind of funny that Paul Sorvino actually looked a lot more like Tramunti, and not much like the real Paul Vario.
There's a former mob guy with a channel on youtube where he comments on the mob life and the accuracy of mob movies. "He" was featured in the scene where everyone was being introduced -- Mikey Franzese. He went to see this with his wife and had no idea he'd even be referred to that briefly.
This is a very good reaction, very good reaction. 😊
GOOD REACTION as usual ,concise interesting comments, thanks .
24:39.."Shoot him in the you-know-where?" OMG, you girls are so mean (LOL) And by the way, JImmy died in prison after 10 years, while Henry made the front pages in Seattle around 2002 when I was living there...Got arrested by local detectives for drug selling and blackmailing stockbrokers. FBI took over the case and charges were dropped for "Lack of Evidence" (Wink, Wink). 24 hours later reporters trying to interview Him at his home found he'd already been moved to another private location. Fun watching you two!
Would like to suggest you watch Robert de Niro's "A Bronx Tale" with Chazz Palminteri, it has that outlook of people who live from paycheck to paycheck being cowards, it is a brilliant movie. Do enjoy the way you follow the story and your ever growing "familiarity" with the Mob🙂. Great reaction!!
Chaz Palminteri wrote a Bronx Tale, based on his childhood and growing up in his neighborhood
@@danielbalboni6804 Yes, that is why (beside his talent) Chazz makes the character so believable. He has a youtube channel where he talks about his views and chats with guests, it is worth following.
Great reaction 💯
Paul Vario ("Paulie") died in 1988 at age 73. Jimmy Burke ("Jimmy Conway") died from cancer in 1966 at age 64. Both died in prison.
Henry Hill died from heart disease in 2012 at age 69; he had left the Witness Protection Program and arrested afterwards for various crimes.
Great reaction.
For some reason, I think the two of you would enjoy "Raising Arizona". Give it a shot!
It’s beautiful..Jyn it’s beautiful!
Look for Henry is at the airport in 1963,he,s sitting on a 65 Chevrolet.
Great Reaction. Now you should react to Casino (also with DeNiro and Peschi). Another great "based on a true story" movie is Blow with Jonny Depp.
Please react to "Casino" you will love it even more then Goodfellas.
The whole so you think i,m funny was all adlib.The young man shot by Tommy injured himself on the set,they took him to the hospital in his bloody shirt,hospital staff thought that he had been shot for real!
The "so you think I'm funny" bit was paraphrased from something Joe Pesci saw when he was a waiter and saw a mobster say that. Now Joe embellished it a bit and went a bit over the top but that is where it came from.
Low and medium security Federal prison facilities are oftten not comprised of cell blocks but rather dormitory units, hence Henry's lenient life while serving time.
im gonna go get the papers, get the papers.
The real Henry Hill doesn’t look like actor who plays him. He was a little troll of a man.
Ya the real Henry Hill looked a lot more like a crackhead than he did like Ray Liotta.
Bonjour de France 🇨🇵 "Goodfellas" "Les Affranchis" in French , excellent film 🎬 Jyn x Ryl toujours au Top 👍
Godfther II is worth seing. The movie moves so fast that it doesn't seem over 3 hours. Great movies are worth seeing.
Classic film, Heat is another good watch
Michael Franzese is 1 of the guys who was named at the table. He has a TH-cam channel with over 1m subscribers he has great stories.
I love his YT channel and the old stories he talks about and the scams he use to run to make money pretty smart guy he was earner.
@@robertbreedon9137 Ya he always said it was much better to be an earner than muscle. As muscle you end up dead too easy.
Recommend reacting to ‘A Bronx Tale’…another classic mob film.
I enjoy the reactions of you charming ladies. One nit-pick: your openings are far too wooden. Perhaps if you didn't read it? I would personally rather see an opening with a small mistake than a robotic formal opening. You two have wonderful, natural shared charisma. Use it to grow your channel! Good luck and keep up the great work.
What am I a clown? Do I amuse you?
The real life Jimmy Conway didn't make it to parole. He died of cancer in 1996.
the fbi agent in the scene is the real one that offered henry the deal in real life they offered him a the role to play himself in the movie
Watch Casino ~ I consider it Good Fellas refined - great great movie
At 02:28, y'all reaction priceless. 😅😂😂👍
You said that Karen should be with someone else, well while Henry was in prison she was having an affair with Paulie which is a big no-no. In the mafia it’s sad to be against the rules to go with someone else’s girl, but it still happens & if the guy is a “made guy” then no one could touch you.
19:57 you’re the only ones to include the art critique
You need to watch The Departed (2006) about the Irish mob. Also Kill the Irishman (2011) is another great gangster movie.
Joe Pesce is incredible in this.
Henry Hill died in 2012 in LA.
He was associated with the Lucchese crime family of New York city from 1955 till1980, when he was arrested for narcotics.
Then he turned into an fbi informant.
Paul actually had an affair with Karen behind Henry's back while he was in prison, this was one of the reasons Henry gave up Paul to the feds.
Henry Hill was kicked out of the Witness Protection Program
34:16 "When is he gonna get his money? That's so unfair." If there is one thing the Mafia is known for, it's fairness. 😂
You women are sharp. Damn sharp. Impressive.
Cheers.
Excellent Jamaican education
'He's serious. If I even look at another guy, he'll kill me!'
'....Great....'!
😧🤔🤪😆😂🤣
You see all the ghosts!
I seen this movie like 30 times and I have the book
both of these girls. dont know that Lucchese crime family was one of the most powerful crime family in New York
true fact: henry was not that guy , that show in movie
Shot six times..”he’s dead!” No kidding
I,m funny how was all adlib.
y'all should watch the sopranos
You should try "Casino"
Part of the reason there were no outsiders is the fact that you can normalize abuse if the abused one has no frame of reference. If you have a partner that hurts you, and nobody to tell you it isn't normal, you develop Stockholm Syndrome.
14:49 He's just leaving again, he's not normal. hahaha... I guess I'm not normal too because if I came in and faced that I'd turn around and walk too.
41:17 the signal
24:05 "She should shoot him."
savage ladies 😆
Jyn: "Maybe she should be with one of his guys"
True story: When Henry goes to jail, Paulie is also there but only for a year. When Paulie gets out, he starts doing Karen, Henry's wife, every chance he gets. One of the many things that got Tommy whacked was trying to do what Paulie was doing. She resisted. Then he tried to force her, and that did not go over well with Paulie.
Yes, the real Paul Vario was nothing like this version from Paul Sorvino. He wasn’t classy or had a comforting father figure tone like in the movie. The real man was a crazy disgusting slob.
24:15 y’all wild for saying shoot em 😂😂
Lmfao 😂
Ryl is absolutely gorgeous.
26:34 "She gave up her brother? What's wrong with her?" I obviously can't read the woman's mind, but I'm guessing she thought he was better off being locked up for a while instead of getting killed.
Let the west indies breeze always blow^ IShout out to Jamaica,purdy gurls will always be purdy gurls! Enjoy all the movies, good, bad or whatever,enjoy;)Always somethin to learn from anythin!Dont forget[palm trees always grow};)
the reason they entered thru the back and through the kitchen was the owners did not want them to go through the front doors as they thought it would be bad for their reputatiuon
the real henry never took the service entrance unless he was with pauly
Word
