This is a great film but i just can't like anybody but Pauly and he gets screwed over in the end. Casino to me is just so much better and i love Joe in that movie more.
Goodfellas is definitely a classic. What a movie to truly kick off the 90’s. I mean this one definitely helped usher in the decade, with many other movies attempting to replicate and capture the tone of this film. Pesci was a National treasure of this era. This movie along with Home Alone and the Lethal Weapon franchise established him as a versatile actor who had great range. He ended up winning an Oscar for this and it was well deserved.
Awhile ago I watched a UA-cam video explaining the reason why Tommy was the only one punished for killing Billy Batts and Jimmy was spare. The reason Jimmy went along with the murder is because of a racket. Before Batts went to prison, he owned a successful a racket. When Batts went to prison, Jimmy took over the racket. When 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 so he decided to killed him to keep it. The reason that Jimmy was spare is because he was what the Mafia called a good earner. It's tradition that when you in the mob, whatever you doing to make money either pimping, slinging, stealing or whatever, you got to kick some of that money upstairs to the higher ups and that's what Jimmy been doing to the point that he became one of their good earners. According to the real life Henry Hill, Batts was friends with this big time gangster named John Gotti and he knew that it was Jimmy and Tommy who killed Batts and he wanted them dead but the higher ups refused to let him touch Jimmy because he was a good earner and they figure that killing Jimmy would mean losing their big income. They wanted to keep Jimmy as a happy good earner which is the reason why they protected Tommy as well because they knew that they were friends but over time Tommy was starting to become a liability by killing people unnecessarily. When Henry Hill was in prison, Tommy tried to r-word his wife, Karen who was having an affair with Paulie and when Karen told Paulie what Tommy tried to do, he was furious and decided that Tommy have gone to far and he got to go. So he picked up the phone, called John Gotti and the Gambino family and gave them the green light to kill Tommy but on the condition that Jimmy is not to be touched. According to the real life Henry Hill, Gotti personally killed Tommy by having him tortured to death.
My favorite movie of all time. I remember the first time I watched it, I couldn’t believe how fast it went by, this movie truly grabs your attention the entire film.
in real life, tommy was alot worse. he was actually killed in the way shown but it was for trying to rape henrys wife karen who was having an affair with paulie
wrong completely wrong and Tommy DeSimone's body was never found.. the order of the hit came from the Gambino Family over the death of Billy Bats who was connected with John Gotti's crew and i can tell you for sure he was not killed like they showed either....and that's all i'm going to say on the subject.
13:08 ...It probably actually was faster taking that route. There was a line, a host had to find them a table, and they'd have to wade through a crowd of people who all personally knew Henry, he'd have to stop and greet. But, most importantly this is one of the greatest "one shots" in cinematic history.
Henry Hill was a Gaslighting King! "Karen, don't worry. Karen! Karen, you're paranoid. Nothing's going to happen." 😂 Please react to other insane true story Martin Scorsese films: The Wolf of Wall Street & Casino.
The real life Jimmy wasn’t as loveable as Robert Deniro. He was ruthless and the documentary tells a story about how he put an infant in a freezer and froze the baby to death because they guy owed him money. He made him listen to the baby cry in the freezer
A lot of the documentaries I’ve seen over the years agree this is just the movie like most “gangster” movies it was much worse in real life. Not glamorous at all.
Goodfellas, My Cousin Vinny, and Casino cemented Joe Pesci’s greatness in my eyes. I always thought Home Alone was a step down for him but maybe it’s more of him showing his range. It’s just hard to see him in that role when he was sociopath in 2 movies
R.I.P To Some Of The Actors Who We're In This Movie,Are No Longer With Us, Still Miss You All, Great Movie, Great Cast, Great Performances By Everyone In This Movie & Great Reaction To This Great Classic Movie Sweetheart
Henry laughs like that because he doesn't really want to be there. He's terrified all the time, but doesn't know any other way to live. So he ends up being a drunk and coked-out maniac to handle it. Tommy and Jimmy are pure evil and constantly joke about hits they did, people they killed for no reason. That dinner scene is him trying to stop himself from breaking out running.
"You're only out early because I got you a job." That is the line that Henry ratted Paulie out on in court that got him sent away He was sentenced to ten, He got out on parole in four because Paulie got him a no-show job.
Taking her through the kitchen is one of the coolest things in this movie. When you do that, it means you’re not waiting in line and you know everybody so you could just go through the kitchen OG style like Henry did. Going through the back and through the kitchen is about as gangster as it gets.
Vinny Asaro, who was a captain in the Bonanno family who oversaw their interests in JFK airport back in the day, was the only person ever indicted for the Lufthansa heist. He was indicted in 2014 when he was a really old man. I was with him in MDC Brooklyn back in 2014 before I was transferred after my sentencing. He went to trial but he beat the case. They also dropped the charges of ordering a hit on a judge, but they wanted to lock him up for ANYTHING. So they got him on some bullsh!t arson charge, but he had a stroke while awaiting sentencing. So they finally let him go, and he died soon after. He was definitely a colorful character who was larger than life. I loved just listening to his stories. He had them for days.😂 A good guy.
54:27 - I hope you listened to that bit because it clarified your question - Jimmy asked Henry to go to Florida to do "a hit" - This is something Henry had NEVER BEEN ASKED TO DO BEFORE! THAT'S HOW HE KNEW IT WAS SET UP TO KILL HIM! Like he says before in the film "your murderers come with smiles..." 55:20 - this is what good comes from reading into the real story! People slag off Henry Hill for snitching but Paulie Vario was having an affair with his wife and Tommy tried to rape his wife!!! - MATE - IF HENRY WAS A MADE GUY TOMMY AND PAULIE WOULD BE KILLED FOR MESSING AROUND WITH A MADE GUYS WIFE! And I don't blame Henry ONE IOTA FOR TESTIFYING! ALL THESE KEYBOARD WARRIORS CALLING HIM A RAT...Ok...let me and someone else have an affair/rape your wife...BUT MATE DON'T SNITCH ON US! 😅 Mate...If I tried something as disgusting as that...I would expect to be snitched on! As a MINIMUM!
Enjoyed your reaction! Goodfellas is director Martin Scorsese's Masterpiece film! Fun fact Martin Scorsese put his parents in the movie. His mother played Tommy's mother. And his father was the old guy in prison with huge glasses who put too many unions in the meatballs. He also was one of the guys who killed Tommy lol. BTW Samuel L. Jackson explained in interviews during that time he had a drug addiction. So that's probably why he looks that way in the movie.
I feel like every woman who watches this movie for the first time... Is always way more upset that Henry is cheating on his wife, than he is out there murdering people.... LOL.
According to the real life Henry, Tommy was wayyy worse in real life compared to his movie counterpart, which they had to water down. Imagine that movie Tommy is actually less unhinged then the real life Tommy was 😂
Yeah. If you read the book the movie is based on “Wiseguys” you’ll see the real Tommy was even more fkd up than the movie one. The mob tolerated having guys like Tommy in their ranks because they did alot of dirty work for them and sometimes made them a lot of money. They would often dispose of them once they became too much of a liability though.
Oh yeah. If you read the book the movie if based on “Wiseguys “ they tell you alot of crazy stuff about Tommy. Both he and Jimmy had a tendency to sometimes do even worse stuff than you see in the movie.
That scene when they sat down for late dinner with Tommy’s mother was almost completely improvised. And the lady who played Tommy’s mom was Martin Scorsese’s mother.
Fun fact: The scene with Tommy's mother, where you said the dialogue felt unscripted; well that scene had no script lol, all improvisaton. And the old lady was the directors mom, not an actress.
Great reaction as always! I’d recommend watching The Irishman (2019). It has De Niro, Pesci & Pacino in their more recent older years. It’s a pretty long movie but the acting is *chef’s kiss*
Damn. The Godfather had a negative response? People love that classic. I think you should still do part 2 of that. I love part 1 but think part 2 is even better though. They are both classics. In fact 2 is one of the few sequels in film history that live up to the first. I would literally ignore the negative responses in this case. But anyways I'm glad you're doing Goodfellas! Goodfellas is my favorite Gangster movie. The Godfather Part 2 is my second fav.
This is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES!! This felt like showing one of my best friends a movie I love for the first time LOL cause you have definitely become my best friend in my head😅 Love your reactions girl, you're awesome💖
Idlewild is JFK Airport in Queens. The mob was everywhere in NY growing up. Henry lived a couple of towns over. My neighbors were connected and my friends dad. My uncle worked at JFK and let things slide. They were good guys if you didn’t have a problem with them. They would tend to help you out before hurting you
The fake laughter with Tommy is intentional. It’s meant to show that he has status in the mob others don’t, to where if he tells a joke, people have to laugh.
This is all based on the word of Henry Hill, and, the most important thing to remember about him is, he was a drug addict, and, a rat. So, his word shouldn't be taken as absolute truth.
AWESOME vid as always MJ! Just so you know that show you were talking about where the kid says everything twice was Jacob Two-Two definitely one of my top shows on Qubo
10:42 - It really is entirely profit because once the owner asked Paulie's help - Paulie basically decided to order goods using the business's credit line! - Once the stuff arrives, you sell out the back without paying a dime! So indeed it is all profit because the Mob NEVER INTENDED TO PAY THE CREDIT LINE! 😅😂 It would almost be sad if they weren't so clever about it! 😅😂
It's definitely not cool to cheat on someone, or put hand on them, but it's less cool to wake them up with a gun in the face. If you're going to do that, you really can't be shocked if someone responds to that. There's some stuff in here that give you the wrong impression, too. Like the Lufthansa Heist...Henry wasn't involved in that at all. Also, when you mentioned they waited until Henry got out of the car before they hit the guy, that could be false. This story is based on Henry's version of events, so he could have given us that story to distance himself from the crime. Potentially I mean.
Being made means you are now a formal member of a crime organization (Family) instead of just an associate. Theoretically your power and wealth should increase dramatically. It's like being directly hired by a Fortune 100 company instead of just being a contractor.
MJ WITHOUT SPIDERMAN , Back in the 60s, it was more impressive for a guy to take a date through the kitchen. Owning restaurant was more prestigious back then, and taking her through the kitchen showes you have connections.
Did anyone else notice who was in the room while they were whacking Tommy? Tuddy Cicero, Paul's brother, which means Paulie told the Gambinos that Tommy Whacked Batts.
@de_lontekk8019 yup. Tommy almost r*ped Karen while Henry was in jail but she was already sleeping with Paulie. That's why he told The Gambinos it was Tommy. I think John Gotti was present but wasn't the shooter. Others say it was Jimmy The Gent Burke kuz he was whacking everyone that was involved in the Lufthansa Heist.
He ‘did’ say it was (sic) “under pressure” to find out what happened to Billy Batts so definitely weighed up his options before informing the higher-ups. I always wondered how the ex-restauranteur took the news 😂😂🫣🫣.
MJ, that was a FANTASTIC reaction to "Goodfellas" and also a fantastic edit of the movie/your reaction to it! Really great edit! Oh my god, you should definitely do "Casino", which is practically a sequel to this, you'd kill on that! Also the next year Scorsese and De Niro made a wild action suspense thriller, "Cape Fear", you specifically would do a great reaction to that one too! There aren't nearly enough reactions for that one. Also yet another De Niro/Scorsese classic: "The King Of Comedy". And of course, the unbelievable "Raging Bull". And "Taxi Driver", "Mean Streets"......."After Hours" doesn't have De Niro, but that is a wild 80s one (and about 1 hour and 25 minutes!). Anyways, FANTASTIC reaction to "Goodfellas". PS: Don't pay attention to any negative comments. You are a great reactor, don't change a single thing. Seriously. The trolls are losers, and you are a winner, a person who has gotten people to subscribe to hear what you have to say. Thanks for the great reaction!!!! Definitely do "Casino"! (and all those others! Those are all classics of 70s, 80s and 90s cinema.....and they're also all beloved, super entertaining movie experiences that you'll get into just as easily as this movie.
P.S. "Casino" is also a true story! It's basically Goodfellas......in Las Vegas! Dazzling movie!🤩 All Scorsese movies are a feast for the eyes, ears....and mind! Definitely the ones I mentioned above.
Regardless of the feedback, please finish the Godfather trillogy. The 2nd movie is arguably better than the first, and was considered the first movie sequel ever. It was nominated for Academy awads for both Pachino, and a young Robert Deniro who plays Vito. Its also the part of the original book that the author adapted to make this one.
Why would Henry rat everyone out..? Because they're all monsters.. murderous, psychopathic monsters who literally base their lives on stealing and killing people..
I'm saying he was SOO loyal when he was one of them but as soon as HE makes his own life go to crap... now everyone goes down with him? he chose this life and so did they. he did no time because he ratted and they died in prison soooooo @@cjperry2731
Hey MJ glad you reacted to this movie, Great Reaction. I recommend you; "Carlito's Way"(1993) "Casino"(1995) "Four Brothers"(2005) "Carlito's Way: Rise To Power"(2007) "Illegal Tender"(2007) "Shooter"(2007) "War"(2007)
"You take a $200 case of booze and you sell it for $100. Doesn't matter, it's all profit." "I don't know if that's entirely profit..." It is when you never paid for any of it in the first place.
If you If you like this movie, another movie you probably would enjoy is The Departed, I always think of it as Goodfellas if it took place in Boston in the early 2000s
If you like this , you'll love Casino. Many say the Godfather is the best Mafia movie, I 100% disagree. Goodfellas showed the seedy underside of the Mafia, and no one is to be trusted. There was nothing "honorable" about being in the Mafia as the Godfather tried to show. Goodfellas was much more true to life.
6:35 - this is what set the Italian Mob apart from the rest! Sheer organisation and balls! The Mafia were SO POWERFUL during 50s-mid 80's - that no skyscraper in NYC could get built without their "say-so"... even Donald Trump had to pay a 2% tax on the concrete to build Trump Tower! Donald was not involved with the Mob it was just that it was so prevalent that he couldn't get anything done without their hand in it! It's better known as the "Concrete club" which included all 5 bosses of the New York Families... These guys had so much power that they could shut down an NYC construction site with 1 PHONE CALL... I think that's why I admire them so much because no other organisation has EVER GAINED THAT AMOUNT OF POWER IN THE US... And that people say nowadays...unfortunately...criminals have got no morals, no rules and no parameters to abide by...back in the day you burgled an old lady you got dealt with but these days the old lady shoots you in the back and she's made a killer... Don't get me started! I'll be ranting forever! 😉🙂😐
Yo look up Ashanti Foolish n you'll see they use some of the Scenes from this movie n u should do a reaction to a movie called Jason lyrics, New jack city, or killa season, or paid in full or Sugar Hill real harlem joints🗽💪🏽💪🏽
"The guy that's been living across the street from me, that I've known my whole life..." MJ: "What if it's not him? What if it's the wrong guy." Friend, have you considered using closed caption to make sure you don't miss any details during your commentary?
@@MJWITHOUTSPIDERMAN bet if you told those same commenters you'd like to get to know them personally they'd forget they even said anything 🤣 pretty hate is real
This definitely a classic, so well done with an iconic cast 💯 Need a favor from you quick though..can you run the quote you tried creating about “the bad seed makes for bad plants in the garden” again think it went over my head cause it ain’t land with me lmaooooo 😂😂😂😂😜
Please do Casino or Bronx Tale next. Similar cast but different plots. All are great
Bronx Tale for sure
@@Bcbfantasybooking MJ would definitely FW it. The message is too good
💯
Both great. Casino has better replay value imo
This is a great film but i just can't like anybody but Pauly and he gets screwed over in the end. Casino to me is just so much better and i love Joe in that movie more.
The part with Tommy's mom was the directors real mom and she just winged it the whole conversation wasn't even scripted
Yeah, like MJ said, they don 't sound like they're reading a script. She was right.
Goodfellas is definitely a classic. What a movie to truly kick off the 90’s. I mean this one definitely helped usher in the decade, with many other movies attempting to replicate and capture the tone of this film.
Pesci was a National treasure of this era. This movie along with Home Alone and the Lethal Weapon franchise established him as a versatile actor who had great range. He ended up winning an Oscar for this and it was well deserved.

I see you did your research too huh. Tommy was such a loose cannon.
Nice explanation. Now go home and get yer shine box.
I heard bats was also John Gottis good friend so he was itching to get him.
In the real life story Karen started sleeping with Pauly while Henry was in jail lol. It really was a competition 🤣
My favorite movie of all time. I remember the first time I watched it, I couldn’t believe how fast it went by, this movie truly grabs your attention the entire film.
Here's another vote for "A Bronx Tale".
in real life, tommy was alot worse. he was actually killed in the way shown but it was for trying to rape henrys wife karen who was having an affair with paulie
He was also a 200-something pound giant behemoth, with a small mustache. So he was definitely bloody with his hands.
Yea that man was terrible
wrong completely wrong and Tommy DeSimone's body was never found.. the order of the hit came from the Gambino Family over the death of Billy Bats who was connected with John Gotti's crew and i can tell you for sure he was not killed like they showed either....and that's all i'm going to say on the subject.
@@osmanyousif7849oh yeah he was 6 ft something, over 200 lb of pure fucking muscle.

It's one of the hottest NY restaurants. A regular guy would probably have to wait hrs to get in without reservations
Did you see that line? He would probably still be waiting to get in now if he hadn’t got the special entrance. 😂
Henry Hill really laughed like that. He would even laugh over you if you were talking crap or even threatening him ....
They were laughing at Tommy outta nervousness, he was basically letting everybody know he aint the one to play with…that was nervous laughter..lol
Btw In real life Henry Wife ended up cheating on Henry with Paulie 😬
Henry Hill was a Gaslighting King! "Karen, don't worry. Karen! Karen, you're paranoid. Nothing's going to happen." 😂
Please react to other insane true story Martin Scorsese films: The Wolf of Wall Street & Casino.

He also completely mutilated an ex boyfriend of one of his wives.
lol

@@bigmikem1578 Oh hell yeah. Tommy wasn't a lil man with a big chip either. Dude was damn near Dwayne Johnson's size. You know.. pre roids. Lol
You may have missed it. When Tommy walked in the room and saw the floor covered in plastic, he knew 😮
@@danieljohnson2005 Nonesense. They could have been late. I am going with the floor COvered with plastic.
Fun fact: Tommy Mom is played by Martin Scorsese’s mom(the director). She cooked the food for all of the scenes as well.
"Goodfellas" is a masterpiece. Pure cinematic genius.
Another movie to consider is American Gangster(2007) starring Denzel Washington and it’s loosely based on True Story.
One of my favourite movies of all time
Your reaction to goodfellas was incredible you are killing these movie reactions 🔥🔥🔥🔥👑🐐
Goodfellas, My Cousin Vinny, and Casino cemented Joe Pesci’s greatness in my eyes. I always thought Home Alone was a step down for him but maybe it’s more of him showing his range. It’s just hard to see him in that role when he was sociopath in 2 movies
Don’t forget Raging Bull
Na you tweaking he killed his role in home alone he was perfect duo with the other dude
He made Home Alone shortly after filming this and had a real problem holding back the f-bombs around the children in the cast.
The fact that I saw him in Home Alone first 😭🫣😂🤣
R.I.P To Some Of The Actors Who We're In This Movie,Are No Longer With Us, Still Miss You All, Great Movie, Great Cast, Great Performances By Everyone In This Movie & Great Reaction To This Great Classic Movie Sweetheart
Fun Fact at 54:38 That guy playing the prosecutor who put Henry Hill in witness protection ED McDonald, was Henry Hill's actual federal prosecutor.
Ive heard it put like this.... If Godfather is about Napoleon, Goodfellas is about a solider in Napoleon's army.
Henry laughs like that because he doesn't really want to be there. He's terrified all the time, but doesn't know any other way to live. So he ends up being a drunk and coked-out maniac to handle it. Tommy and Jimmy are pure evil and constantly joke about hits they did, people they killed for no reason. That dinner scene is him trying to stop himself from breaking out running.

It was mostly cause of the guy they killed in Henry’s bar he was a made member but either way Tommy was a loose cannon
This is all based on the word of Henry Hill, and, the most important thing to remember about him is, he was a drug addict, and, a rat. So, his word shouldn't be taken as absolute truth.
AWESOME vid as always MJ! Just so you know that show you were talking about where the kid says everything twice was Jacob Two-Two definitely one of my top shows on Qubo
Ayeee 😭 mine was my friend rabbit and dragon tales
Casino, please?
I don’t know your channel but reacting to bangers movie and tv shows I love it.
10:42 - It really is entirely profit because once the owner asked Paulie's help - Paulie basically decided to order goods using the business's credit line! - Once the stuff arrives, you sell out the back without paying a dime! So indeed it is all profit because the Mob NEVER INTENDED TO PAY THE CREDIT LINE! 😅😂
It would almost be sad if they weren't so clever about it! 😅😂
It's definitely not cool to cheat on someone, or put hand on them, but it's less cool to wake them up with a gun in the face. If you're going to do that, you really can't be shocked if someone responds to that.
There's some stuff in here that give you the wrong impression, too. Like the Lufthansa Heist...Henry wasn't involved in that at all. Also, when you mentioned they waited until Henry got out of the car before they hit the guy, that could be false. This story is based on Henry's version of events, so he could have given us that story to distance himself from the crime. Potentially I mean.
My fav movie ever right here. So classic
Being made means you are now a formal member of a crime organization (Family) instead of just an associate. Theoretically your power and wealth should increase dramatically. It's like being directly hired by a Fortune 100 company instead of just being a contractor.
You saying you’d go for the balls so nonchalantly is crazyyyy 🤣🤣
MJ WITHOUT SPIDERMAN , Back in the 60s, it was more impressive for a guy to take a date through the kitchen. Owning restaurant was more prestigious back then, and taking her through the kitchen showes you have connections.
I take a girl through the kitchen and they take care of the rest when I want to stop seeing her. She becomes part of the soup for a few nights.
Another movie Robert De Niro is in with Samuel L Jackson is called Jackie Brown(1997). It’s currently on Netflix!
Did anyone else notice who was in the room while they were whacking Tommy? Tuddy Cicero, Paul's brother, which means Paulie told the Gambinos that Tommy Whacked Batts.
Tommy deserved it he cost paulie to much at that point bringing unwanted attention
@de_lontekk8019 yup. Tommy almost r*ped Karen while Henry was in jail but she was already sleeping with Paulie. That's why he told The Gambinos it was Tommy. I think John Gotti was present but wasn't the shooter. Others say it was Jimmy The Gent Burke kuz he was whacking everyone that was involved in the Lufthansa Heist.
He ‘did’ say it was (sic) “under pressure” to find out what happened to Billy Batts so definitely weighed up his options before informing the higher-ups. I always wondered how the ex-restauranteur took the news 😂😂🫣🫣.
MJ, that was a FANTASTIC reaction to "Goodfellas" and also a fantastic edit of the movie/your reaction to it! Really great edit! Oh my god, you should definitely do "Casino", which is practically a sequel to this, you'd kill on that! Also the next year Scorsese and De Niro made a wild action suspense thriller, "Cape Fear", you specifically would do a great reaction to that one too! There aren't nearly enough reactions for that one. Also yet another De Niro/Scorsese classic: "The King Of Comedy". And of course, the unbelievable "Raging Bull". And "Taxi Driver", "Mean Streets"......."After Hours" doesn't have De Niro, but that is a wild 80s one (and about 1 hour and 25 minutes!). Anyways, FANTASTIC reaction to "Goodfellas". PS: Don't pay attention to any negative comments. You are a great reactor, don't change a single thing. Seriously. The trolls are losers, and you are a winner, a person who has gotten people to subscribe to hear what you have to say. Thanks for the great reaction!!!! Definitely do "Casino"! (and all those others! Those are all classics of 70s, 80s and 90s cinema.....and they're also all beloved, super entertaining movie experiences that you'll get into just as easily as this movie.
P.S. "Casino" is also a true story! It's basically Goodfellas......in Las Vegas! Dazzling movie!🤩 All Scorsese movies are a feast for the eyes, ears....and mind! Definitely the ones I mentioned above.
Really enjoyed your down-to-earth take on this movie...one of my favorites. Check out "Casino" if you haven't already
Remember Pauline was sleeping with Henry’s wife. And Tommy got killed because he tried to r word her.
Regardless of the feedback, please finish the Godfather trillogy. The 2nd movie is arguably better than the first, and was considered the first movie sequel ever. It was nominated for Academy awads for both Pachino, and a young Robert Deniro who plays Vito. Its also the part of the original book that the author adapted to make this one.
Lets be honest who here was really watching the video at all? Great reaction throughout
Good movie!!
A Bronx Tale is a great movie ..
You'll enjoy it 😉✌️❤️
Why would Henry rat everyone out..?
Because they're all monsters.. murderous, psychopathic monsters who literally base their lives on stealing and killing people..
And he was with them doing the same thing being an accomplice. Now what?
@@MJWITHOUTSPIDERMAN now what, what..? Lol.. and?
Yeah, he was.. and he was just as guilty and as much a monster as the ones he ratted on..
I'm saying he was SOO loyal when he was one of them but as soon as HE makes his own life go to crap... now everyone goes down with him? he chose this life and so did they. he did no time because he ratted and they died in prison soooooo @@cjperry2731
@@darlaquin bro this was 6 months ago be quiet
@@MJWITHOUTSPIDERMAN I can see why Spiderman didn't want you.

We really like you movie channel. You have a good way about talking through the movie. Keep it up. Ginger San Francisco USA
Thanks for reacting to this! Always a beauty🥵🥵
I’m here for the milkers
"You take a $200 case of booze and you sell it for $100. Doesn't matter, it's all profit."
"I don't know if that's entirely profit..."
It is when you never paid for any of it in the first place.
ahhhhh take it take it
If you If you like this movie, another movie you probably would enjoy is The Departed, I always think of it as Goodfellas if it took place in Boston in the early 2000s
Please react to A Bronx Tale.
If you like this , you'll love Casino.
Many say the Godfather is the best Mafia movie, I 100% disagree.
Goodfellas showed the seedy underside of the Mafia, and no one is to be trusted.
There was nothing "honorable" about being in the Mafia as the Godfather tried to show.
Goodfellas was much more true to life.
6:35 - this is what set the Italian Mob apart from the rest! Sheer organisation and balls! The Mafia were SO POWERFUL during 50s-mid 80's - that no skyscraper in NYC could get built without their "say-so"... even Donald Trump had to pay a 2% tax on the concrete to build Trump Tower! Donald was not involved with the Mob it was just that it was so prevalent that he couldn't get anything done without their hand in it! It's better known as the "Concrete club" which included all 5 bosses of the New York Families...
These guys had so much power that they could shut down an NYC construction site with 1 PHONE CALL...
I think that's why I admire them so much because no other organisation has EVER GAINED THAT AMOUNT OF POWER IN THE US...
And that people say nowadays...unfortunately...criminals have got no morals, no rules and no parameters to abide by...back in the day you burgled an old lady you got dealt with but these days the old lady shoots you in the back and she's made a killer...
Don't get me started! I'll be ranting forever! 😉🙂😐
Yo look up Ashanti Foolish n you'll see they use some of the Scenes from this movie n u should do a reaction to a movie called Jason lyrics, New jack city, or killa season, or paid in full or Sugar Hill real harlem joints🗽💪🏽💪🏽
Pronounce Pesci as “Pesh-ie”
You gotta watch Peaky blinders... Ur gonna love it
This is one of my favorite video reaction
"The guy that's been living across the street from me, that I've known my whole life..." MJ: "What if it's not him? What if it's the wrong guy." Friend, have you considered using closed caption to make sure you don't miss any details during your commentary?
There are rules!! When rules fall apart, chaos starts!!! Respect the rules!!
Goodfellas, Casino, and Django Unchained are my favorite Quentin Tarantino movies
Loved your reaction. One of the greatest films ever made! It may have been mentioned before but Idlewild Airport in New York was later renamed JFK.
Classic. Love this movie.
I don't get it, what type of negative comments were you getting on the Godfather?
I was just lookin through the godfather comments to find out and I'm still confused, they must be on patreon lmaoo
No they’re just deleted. A lot of people were just saying I was too dumb to watch that movie or sum lol idc
@@MJWITHOUTSPIDERMAN nah that is so mean you deserve better
@@MJWITHOUTSPIDERMAN bet if you told those same commenters you'd like to get to know them personally they'd forget they even said anything 🤣 pretty hate is real
@@SlimJohnson-h2w if you wanted a history lesson go watch the history channel 💀
This definitely a classic, so well done with an iconic cast 💯
Need a favor from you quick though..can you run the quote you tried creating about “the bad seed makes for bad plants in the garden” again think it went over my head cause it ain’t land with me lmaooooo 😂😂😂😂😜
Lmao you're hilarious. I watched a lot of Goodfellas reactions and yours might be my fave
If you enjoyed this MJ, you'll definitely love Black Mass. It's easily one of Johnny Depp's best movies.
Great reaction, as usual.
It really is such a surprise when the badboy cheats on you with one or more women.
No one ever sees it coming.
The real life story is even crazier than the movie!!
