sure.
Yes
In the original script, Tuddy was supposed to fire the gun and a flag would pop out that read "You're Made!" but the prop department accidentally put a loaded gun on the set and when Joe Pesci fell dead on the floor, Scorsese told the cameras to keep rolling. That's why if you look closely, the best supporting actor Oscar technically reads "To the Estate of Joe Pesci"
Meanwhile Alec Baldwin was in the audience at the awards ceremony, furiously scribbling notes on a wienertail napkin
how would tommy have seen the flag from behind him?
It would've poked him in the head, he would've turned, ready to be angry but then Tuddy was supposed to tilt his head, smile at Tommy, and give him a hug. "Congrats, Tommy. Welcome aboard."
If it hadn't been real gun then Tommy wouldn't have been killed, and would have been able to turn his head and see the flag.
I admit it, I laughed
You're a funny guy.
>this is what passes as wit in muttland
Germans coming in with das bantz
Hey, I had that textbook in high school. Deutsch Aktuelles or something.
so when is Marty gonna make the sequel?
He already made it
>"Almost An Angel"
I forget what happened irl? I don't think he was getting "made", but they did trick him into an ambush. Gotti was the trigger man (he was longtime friends with Billy Batts).
>I forget what happened irl? I don't think he was getting "made"
They tricked him into thinking he was getting made.
I just don't see how anyone thought that was possible? Irl, Tommy had beefs with everybody! Especially, Paulie.
Maybe I was born in the wrong era. If I were alive back then, I'd be running the mob. I'm just too smart for my rivals, the feds, and my goombas.
>I'm just too smart
I can tell by your inability to understand the movie.
>movie
I'm talking about real life, homie.
same bro, they would have never gotten the drip on me
It was real greaseball shit.
OH NI-
>he was being made
made what?
Its a mafia term, meaning you are an official member of the family and get the privileges that come with it. You become a "Made man".
They made him dead
OP here, that was a type, meant to say
>would the mob really set up this whole scheme to let tommy think he was being ligma?
OP here again. Hahaha Disregard that, I suck wieners.
Wait didn’t they bury him and his brother alive? How do you guys tell Scorsese films apart?
You're mixing up Scorsese movies and Pesci deaths. I think that was Casino.
no no, it was definitely Goodfellas because Billy Bats attacks them with his signature weapon
Its not like they needed to spend money on cake and party hats.
It was a pretty funny prank, it got him good.
No I don't think this is realistic. They could just have him meet somewhere else and kill him. Having someone go to his ceremony just to be tricked and killed would just piss off too many people and also make new members paranoid.
>You know, we always called each other homosexuals. Like you said to somebody, "You're gonna like this guy. He's alright. He's a homosexual. He's one of us." You understand? We were gays. But Jimmy and I could never be based because we had reddit blood. It didn't even matter that my mother had an account on SomethingAwful. To become a member of a board, you've got to be one hundred per cent Cinemaphile so they can trace all your posts back to the early 2000's. See, it's the highest honor they can give you. It means you belong to a board and a discord. It means that nobody can ban you. It also means you could ban anybody just as long as they aren't also a member. It's like a license to shitpost. It's a license to post anything. As far as Jimmy was concerned with Tommy being based, it was like we were all being based. We would now have one of our own as a member.
>discord
Why didn't they just let him finish his thought? So rude!!!
I bet it would have been funny. He was a funny guy.
But that's what being made was? You were shot in the head and send to mob heaven, where beer flowed like wine
It's a hit. The movie bangs over your head over and over again the idea that mobsters are conniving sneaky fricks and try to make you comfortable before they kill you. have a nice day.
Yeah, but those guys had it coming, you see? They was messing up or not doing what they shoulda. It woulda been different for me. I'd never get whacked. I'd be the one whacking. And when I'm not whacking, I'd be living the high life with booze, drugs, hot girls, and my bros. We'd be the Best Fellas.
someone already posted this image in the thread. Better luck next time
what kind of gun is that and why does it produce that kind of muzzle blast?
>You see, to be made you had to be a midget.
He insulted a made guy, so yeah, they'd pull out all the stops for something like that.
I read Henry Hill's book and had stop a few times and make sure it wasn't a joke.
Man, he was dumb. Not even dumb in an evil mobster way, but like 12 year old with severe ADHD dumb. It's almost unbelievable that he thrived it that cutthroat world. Dude was a stumbling drunk pissing his pants at the end too. I think Scorsese gave him a little too much credit in that movie.
He had learning disabilities, dropped out of school etc. What made him effective as a monster was that he was a sociopath.
