We’ve all seen dozens of these shows but will watch this too! 😂
John Gotti is and was like the sun u can't look away
😂😂😂😂😂
@@thepistolguy859 Gotti is one of the biggest names but he was unqualified for position of boss.
@@josebarajas5368capo too
. What qualifications does one need?
Best thing about this series is using actual footage. Those re-enactment / actor programs are never as good.
I agree.....very cheezy
Wasn't this one both?
@@joeshoe6184 theres a few re enactment sequences in this one but not like some of the others. you hardly even see a photo of the real guys in some of these programs
@lesterdiamond6190 I have mixed feelings.
Sometimes it works, like this one or the excellent U.S. Grant documentary the History Channel put out a few years back.
Sometimes it doesn't, and when it doesn't, it's pretty bad.
The actual footage was nice but it was sad that they had to keep reusing the same footage.
The question remains:
Where was Spider-Man?! 😳
There's just no way to get enough of these ol mobb clips..
Trust me after year's of watching the Mob Genre you will get bored of it pretty soon
You have a problem get help
Gotti had a grandiose personality disorder. And, like most who suffer from a bloated ego, it spells their destruction and anyone else around them.
Damn near everyone in organised crime has that exact same mentality.
He was a hero to the people of NYC, at the time, but in the end, it was his own words on tape, that buried himself, and some of his associates
@@rugger104Rats brought him down !
@@seancrowley1065 They certainly helped to finish him off, but he personally admitted to at least 4 murders on tape- the tapes are all over the internet; listen to them
@@seancrowley1065he didn't need rats to do it. They had him on tape. How was he gonna fight that?
Gotti needed to lay low as much as possible. He did the opposite. That was his downfall.

Thats how you see it. Gotti got exactly what he wanted. Gotti wanted to be remembered as the most known mob boss ever. He achieved that. He is the biggest and most talked about mob boss today.
Gotti didn't care about hiding the fact he was a gangster because he was interested in building his family name and legacy while being entirely cognizant of the reality that he signed up for a life that'd end with him doing life plus a thousand in prison. He loved being a gangster more than anything and didn't care who knew it. Frankly, even if he did the opposite and laid low, he still would've been busted the same as by the 80's and 90's; the feds were making it a mission to put all of these guys away with the advent of RICO and other factors. Even Gigante, who was extremely disciplined with his longtime mental patient act to stay out of jail, he went down by the 90's the same because he was a boss on the street and the most powerful one at that. Gotti had plenty of flaws but one has to respect the fact that he was a gangster, he didn't care who knew it, and accepted the consequences of the life he chose to live from the beginning unlike these rats like Sammy Gravano.
Facts
I was working in nyc as a waiter the night they shot Paul and his driver. That night it was cold damp foggy outside and as soon as the shooting happened the news spread like wildfire. Everyone got back to their apartments the streets were empty I never seen nyc streets so empty till this day. It was like the president of the united state of America was killed. It was a scary time back then because everyone in nyc knew or had connections to the mob especially restaurants. I still have the original news papers from that week and the original Time magazine with Mr John on the cover.

😂😂😂😂😂@@PrimeTonysElbows
😮😮😮😮😮😮😂😂😂😂
Dos mother flicker's, boasted about families alliance, yet they kill, families with no mercy....😅😮😂
The all claim to be Catholics too 😂
Catholicism is more sinister than the Mafia so there’s that 😂
But really just Democrats
Now just called Democrats
That's the best part. Say two hail Mary's and all your sins are absolved
Ayo it's Jim Kallstrom, former head of the FBI's Nu Yark Office
🤣😂😆
I wonder what jim would think of the way the fbi is ran today pathetic
I like that part
Jim is the man!
That entire organization was built on blackmail. This instance, not the individual, either. Hoover's ancestors say otherwise. Again, no pun intended. Fact is Stanger than fiction.
I’m not one for excessive music in documentaries, but the sound production and sound track is spot on, great with headphones.
Whatever you want to say about John Gotti…he was too loud, too much in public, talked too much… the government wants to brag how John reacted after hearing the tapes and looking like a cornered animal but he took that time like a man. He stood up tall and accepted his fate. Sammy folded like pressed laundry.
How would you know he took It like a man were you there no one was there beside the lawyer's etc you can't say anything and I can't say anything and you wanna talk about sammy again how do you know sammy folded like pressed laundry I know for fact you weren't in the same room as them
If Gotti had to take life for the boss he would , Sammy shit it and realised he wanted a better life nothing wrong with that but Gotti was goin down wether or no he was in public eye. He was boss of Gabino his tapes where from a flat he thought he was safe , Sammy turned states and talked on the stand
The only mafia boss i respect is lucky luciano. It was all business for him.
I don't care what you say, life was more interesting back in the 70s and 80s when we got to pick up a copy of the NY Daily News with details of the latest rub-out, and hopefully pages of pictures showing the corpse and crime scene. They were joyous times for 'organised crime' fans.
Seen these 1000s times. It I still do enjoy 😂
Did they disturb the CIA drug trafficing or what ?
competition
Yes, the CIA is loading planes with drugs while the DEA spends millions trying to stop the flow of drugs. That makes sense. George Jung, Carlos Lehder, and Escobar were all working for the CIA. 🤣🤣
💯
Scary that the government is the biggest mafia.
@@scottfay3553 Yepp. And thats why they had to be delt with.
I miss NYC of the 80's and early 90's
Umbertos Clam house
I wish it never moved
@@chrisyasus8912wtf you dont know nothing you look at too many tv films . I was there you were not , never heard of you . John Sammy Roy Carlo Billy-bats all good pals of mine Tommy Tony two legs all great pals and who the F is you WHAT CAN'T HEAR YOU . THATS RIGHT 😮
Mr NY himself a joke you is 😂😂😂😂😂
@@JamieLamb-ft6io I liked umbertos where it was. Say what you wanna
One thing Gotti did that showed the world his bravery was to be seen publicly in that women's short sleeved light-cream summer jacket - a ladies' 'trouser suit' top (52.32) that even sported the Princess Diana shoulder pads. He looked like he was finally coming out as a transvestite. Of all his crimes, surely THAT was the worst. He is dead isn't he? I mean, it is safe to say this now, isn't it? Oh blimey, how the feck do I delete this?
They will never stop making docs on Gotti
Yes they will
One day they are gonna wish there was a John Gotti . One day they are gonna miss John Gotti
His downfall was his big mouth. It was his big mouth that also got him beaten up in prison.
The circus outside the courthouse after the verdict. What a total joke. People acting insane over a mob boss. Ohhhh the delusion 🤦🏻♂️
Same mindset as Biden voters. Same mindset as oj simpson supporters.
I trust jhon gotti more than I trust some of these politicians.
@@KrishnaSingh-ow1ie💯
@@JackTheSkunk You mean Trump cultists. Trump is more like Gotti. A criminal and a thug.
@@JackTheSkunk
Trump also. It goes both ways
BLM l, proud boys, Antifa, .
Cults of personalities from both Right and Left
“One man hated Big Paulie(Paul Costellano) and he carried that hate around like a badge of honor…. His name was John Gotti”
The real "thug life"
The scariest part of all this is neither Gotti nor the crime family scene, but how easy it is to influence people to be completely unbothered by outright crime, as long as the perpetrator is "cool". Reminds me of the case where a large number of people online wanted a murderer to be let go just because he was exceptionally good looking. What a strange species we are.
Jesus and barbass
Agree. I wonder if it has occurred to those people yet, just how much organized crime affected their lives in a negative way, down to the price of their food and clothing. And there they were, supporting it all.
Shit, people wanted to marry Ted Bundy, and even the judge said he wishes he could work with him...
The same thing is done by politicians too except none of them look cool lmao
Ya well, he was cool. And threw great neighborhood parties.
Well done, very interesting.
I like this but it should have more Luciano Pavarotti music in it rather than rap music.
Of course they will put rap because regardless of hard evil,they have to subliminally suggest that POC are the real crooks
Lol! I think it's because the show is set in NY & Rap music is obviously more cool.
At least these thugs kept prices in check, n things way more affordable in NYC, all locals agree. These new thugs are waaay less empathetic.
Gotti's CLASS and MANNERISMS will never be equaled. Sure, he wasn't perfect, but then who is perfect?
This guy had so much class!! I wish he married my sister
@@sfrank8687Lmfao
So far loving it
If only we could convict banksters and other oligarchs who own corporations, media, and politicians. Sadly they are untouchables.:(
Shareholders own corporations, including millions of middle class working people.
@@jimmymcgill8412 Technically, you are correct, but the reality is something else. The working poor (middle class) is allowed to purchase a few shares of corporations but only the oligarch with 51% interest is in control rest are just contributors to his wealth.
A New York jury convicted Donald Trump of felonies. That's a start.
So he took part in that first murder and only ended up doing 2 years time?! 😮
He didn’t pull the trigger, was just at the scene . Regardless, yes 2 years manslaughter so they say
He had the best defense attorney in the country at the time and the laws weren’t as strict back then
He was convicted of being there, not pulling the trigger, and like others said, he had the best of the best legal help along with the times being much more loose when it came to sentencing guidelines. He didn't get a murder conviction.
Over the top music, as usual
great documentary 👏
Everyone was really mad af at sammy for flipping when John was bout to flip on him and make him take ALL THE HEAT. Nahhhh if I'm ya man u not finna dime me out
U believe that shit 😂
"I'm not saying he didn't do it, I'm simply saying , Sammy.the Bull gave me sixty grand😢
Can you imagine, if big Paul didn't die when getting shot, WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED THEN, IT WOULD'VE been wild...
Hahaha never thought about that
It would of happened another day
He would've ended up doing 100 years with the rest of the bosses for the Commission Trial anyway.
John Gotti ended up making the same mistake Al Capone did: Being too high profile and not laying low.
There is no "fall of the Gambino Mob Family" because there still is a Gambino Mob Family, and they're still huge. They just operate in a different and more quiet fashion. I swear, if I see one more of these "documentaries" from some clueless corn shucker from Nebraska....
Yep. Dominick Cefalu is allegedly the current boss
3 of the bosses gave the ok, for gotti to get castellano. which one was them?
The only family they didn't approach was the Genovese, I think. Cos of big Paul's close relationship with the Chin.
I don’t think he officially got approval from any other family; this is revisionist history. There is so much misinformation on YT. Capeci’s books never mentioned any of this, and he’s the original OG on all things mafia. This channel scraped all of these clips from other documentaries
Also, only an official commission meeting, could vote by majority to sanction a hit on a boss. At the time, the Bonnano’s had lost their commission seat bc of a slew of drug convictions
How in the hell is breaking into someone's establishment, law enforcement or not, legal?
I was wondering the same thing
@@ChrissyS01 right! That's crazy! You would think, that's definitely illegal
GOTTI: a modern day Robin Hood. Stole from the Corporates and kept for himself
Cool will watch this tomorrow
What a bunch of winners
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
50 get scared of Diddy aka Puffy aka Puff Daddy?....LMAO 🤣🤣😂I don't think so.
This was a great documentary!
Im in Saint Johns like every week my pops is in there. The other day we were looking in lucky lucianos grave he has one of those little houses his whole family is in there.
When you apply pressure even the biggest and toughest will turn over lol 😂
i like that line ,,, " The Top 40 hits"
GREAT GREAT NARRATOR,, ,,GREAT GUIDE THROUGH THE FILM,
They never got Gotti on issues so they had to set up the case
More like Gotti had to set up the case with his own mouth. What a maroon.
@@MoeHamHead-bx7og he was the most esteemed boss. Wanted to bring everything legal. Strict rules on drugs. So they had to have him silenced.
Castellano was more a blue collar crime guy. Gotti conceived of it as a business.
@@dmdebruijn Uh, no, Gotti was ok with drugs. He was good friends with Ruggiero, who was caught dealing heroin. And Castellano was the one with business sense, not Gotti.
@@dmdebruijnYou have it the opposite. Castellano had no street cred and fancied himself as a businessman than a real gangster, and his own guys saw him as only being boss because of nepotism as Gambino was his cousin. Gotti was a real deal street guy who came up with nothing.
No wonder he couldn't see the shooters. He was wearing his sunglasses at night.
Jefferson airplane. Is a great starter on shyc too. Thanks for the great advice
Great documentary
Wow... this is insane
Rest in peace James Keith Kallstrom we never get enough of Italian American Mafia stories
One has to wonder who gave the info on where and when P.C. would be.
If I can remember correctly it was said Frankie de cicco set a meeting up with PC at sparks in order for Paul to show his respects for Neil delacroces crew/fam for missing his funeral. I think that’s on Sammy’s podcast
@josebarajas5368 100% FACTS!
Decicco provided the information although I don't think he actually arranged the meeting at Sparks. He agreed with the hit.
@@janetkiefer8265if I remember correctly, frank was inside sparks when it happened, sitting with another member.
@@nguvideos2868 Yes, that's how I read the story too.
It is sad the proclivity of people to glorify criminals. It still happens.
I believe that Sammy was slowly getting fed up with Gotti's reign and incompetence leading up to the final trial. After hearing those tapes, I think that was the last straw
He was fed up with Gravano
Some people say Sammy "The Bull" Gravo brought down the Gambino Family by testifying against them, but honestly, John Gotti is the sole reason why the Gambino Family fell apart, because of his ego and because he couldn’t keep his big mouth shut.
@@dereklopez9060 I'd go with your theory...he thrived on attention
Well done.
so does biden, i think you're on to something
Those agents/cops who were investigating the mafia families were brave. Id have been worried about my love ones.
Law enforcement was off limits apparently
Mob rules dictate that cops, feds, or their families are off limits. In 1989, a mob associate killed an undercover DEA agent during a buy, and the feds put so much heat on the family the killer was associated with that they whacked him a few weeks later.
If the mob killed the family of an FBI agent, they'd be signing their death warrant.
Stand up guy, prison all them years in brutal conditions, and when he was dying, never snitched..🇮🇹 🇺🇲💥 that is the meaning of a true leader...
You do know he was going to roll on Gravano and pin it all on him so he could walk, right?
@warhawkofchogoris8555
You believe Sammy the BS Gravano with his BS stories ?
Gotti would have eliminated Sammy he wouldn’t have snitched
Sammy is just a b**ch made little man
@@warhawkofchogoris8555you beat me to it. People call Sammy a rat, but what the hell was he supposed to do?
The Teflon Don! He could've started a range in saucepans and frying pans!
I love this one never think you are to big to get cut down lol everyone pays up in the end
Good to see Bruce Mouw & Selwyn Raab doing good. Been watching their takes on the documentaries for over 20 years.
***Edit: My bad, didn't know this was like a decade old.
"Don't gloat." Okay, but can we celebrate?
Pretty good, i liked it. However, you used the term "jail", when it should be "prison". In the US, jail is where people are held before trial, and if convicted and the sentence is 365 days or less. 366 days or more, and your sent to prison. There are more differences, but that's the essential one.
John Gotti would be one of my fantasy dinner party guests . Would have loved to talk to him.
Even though I watched so many movies about Gotti, this video I would say the best in terms of historical details.
Those mother flicker's of mafias are truly a challenge in every day life. They're like blood suckers, instead of hard working beings...
Why is there never anything about Sammy the bull
Because Sammy wasn't as big as he makes out" Sammy is delusional he making up his own stories as he goes along" Sammy wasn't even allowed Im John's house his wife Vicky hated him
you mean sammy the rat
Gotti never pulled a trigger and was incapable of setting up hits.
“HES JUST A GUY THAT KILLED HIS BOSS TO BE A BOSS TO DIE IN JAIL” crazy
Why wasn’t Neil delacroce mentioned
Leader of the self snitching group of people 😂
Gravano ratted because he knew he was going for life in prison. That simple
Any docs that have prosecutors or FBI working at the time really push Sammy's testimony ..as truth.....he was their golden boy ..all reformed ?? What's never mentioned CI except in the one case. Prosecutor outed one in court.they get the best deal really
This M. F. RUINED EVERYTHING
And nothing has changed in New York to this day
Yeah…the color. lol
It has gotten worse since the mob has disappeared
John Gotti ( 🙏) The Al Capone of our Generation.
An Alex Murdock type of an individual. Literally drunk with power. Government would eventually get the snitch that killed big.
A good documentary
BUT my god how many adverts
2 minutes in, car pulls up to sparks steakhouse…is it a uk license plate?
This is America u can't run forever
Gotti got his azz kicked in prison.
3 of the 4 families gave the go ahead for him to takeout Catellano, why didn’t the other family let Castellano know of the imminent danger?
That damn Sammy 👊🏾
What was Gerry Adam’s doing coming outve court in front of Gotti..? ‘23.45’ timeline of video..
77 bucks a year mob tax? Pretty reasonable compared to what i pay the government in taxes! The government crime family + the royal crime family squeezing the pound coin till the queen screams
They started suspected Gotti, within a few days after the hit
7:25 actually, Paul was hand picked by Carlo to take over after his death. He didn’t just “take charge”.
That was his brother in law. Alot of the undertones were angry. They felt he didn't deserve it and he wasn't really the next in line people tought was going to take over. They thought delecross was going to be the next boss.
The only thing this man didn't achieve is the White House 😂😂
Yup..and he chewed on it 😊
John wasn’t smart enough to master the kill of Paul C. That was Sammy the bull..
You didn't have to be a genius to kill paul c. He got sloppy. He thought nobody could touch him. He had one bodyguard his driver protecting him. He dines at the sane restaurant every week.
RANGu means.rough and notorious going uoth. Aka dappa don.
does someone know who the narrator is?
Bring back these investigators for quarenta cinxo
So similar to what's happening now. Another " Teflon Guy " feeling untouchable. 😢
That guy shits his pants regularly,, I don't think anyone wants to touch him 😂
48.06 is that anthony quinn who was in gotti the movie ??
Yeah. I saw that too. Crazy
Damn gotti was beating they ass Teflon, Don
Listened to this story 1001 times, once Gotti took castellano out was literally the beginning of the end of the mafia gotti was completely incompetent
I hear in prison, he cried like a baby to his kids,,, "They're tryin' to kill me"!!!!
John Gotti did not mastermind the hit. Sammy the bull did the planning not Gotti.
