I like this picture. One dog is looking one way, while the other dog is looking the other way. And the guy is thinking what do you want from me.
Sounded like an ok guy in his reformd years a long time after going into witness protection.
agree with you totally, his drug dealing alone was evil.
Business bad? F@#k you, pay me. Oh, you had a fire? F@#k you, pay me. Place got hit by lightning, huh? F@#k you, pay me.
“Those people who took a subway to work every day just to pay bills were dead...they had no b@ll$...if we wanted something we just took it.”
I remember Hill used to go on Howard Stern decades ago and was always a mess. Drunk, on drugs or both, but he had great stories from the life.
It’s all egg noodles and ketchup in hell.
At this one Al’s Beef (italian beef sandwich shop) in Chicago, they have a picture on the wall of a bunch of kids from Little Italy in the 40’s/50’s and a plaque underneath with their nicknames, like “Shifty”, “Dirty Augie”, etc.

I wonder if Henry Hill was in any of the other gangster movies. I don't remember ever seeing him again.
I know two of the guys who appeared as extras in that scene. One owns a restaurant on Mulberry Street, in New York's Little Italy.
The real life mobster portrayed by Ray Liotta in Goodfellas (and main char in book that inspired it, N. Pileggi’s Wise Guys. Film named differently to avoid confusion with tv show Wise Guy
The short gangster was Tommy, played by Joe Pesci—and his mom was played by Scorcese’s mom.
Mad TV did a great spoof, Raging Rudolph...spoof of Rudolph Red Nosed reindeer & Scorcese films. “You’ll never be in Santa’s gang, never be in Santa’s gang...And the moral of the story is keep your f——— mouth shut.”
“He sounded like an ok guy when I heard him on Howard Stern years ago.”
You mean as murderers go he was an ok fella?
