The scene when Henry takes Karen to the Copa and they walk through the restaurant to me is a cinematic gem. Having worked in the hustle-bussel of a well known restaurant in my youth, it is spot on. And I suppose if your name in an vowel and your told in your ute about who the bad guys are and how they roll and to stay away it might ring home more than you know.. ;-).
If your name ends in a vowel you could be Japanese.

I've seen it written that to both film critics and those who work in the industry that scene is considered one of the all-time classic film scenes.IIRC it was filmed with what I think was called a "steadycam" (whatever that means).
It wasn't too long ago that I discovered where some of the scenes from the film were shot...including the scene with the neighbor and the red Corvette.Some day I'm gonna drive past those houses when I'm in the area (New Rochelle or Scarsdale,can't recall which).Maybe I'll even see "Karen" there...who was so beautiful in that film it outta be illegal!
It’s a great scene. The long, one-take tracking shot is such a Scorsese trademark. And Lorraine Bracco is very babish, at least in the early part of the film. The later scenes, not so much, but the lifestyle was taking its toll on her and everyone else.
