Goodfellas

Trivia: The slap Paulie gives Henry when he leaves prison was completely improvised. The surprised look on Ray Liotta's face is genuine.

Trivia: The movie shows that Henry Hill has two daughters, whereas, in real life, he has a son and a daughter, who are also in hiding from the mob and their father.

Trivia: Al Pacino was originally asked to play the role of Jimmy Conway but did not accept for fear of being typecast after portraying too many gangsters throughout his career. Ironically, later in 1990, he ended up playing a gangster, Big Boy Caprice, in "Dick Tracy."

Trivia: For a movie that's so known for its violence, there are only five on-screen murders. An additional five murders happen off-screen, bringing the total body count to 10.

Revealing mistake: Morrie gets whacked by Tommy with an ice pick. After that, Morrie is dead and lifeless. Soon after, Frankie Carbone (post Jimmy leaving) exits the car. When he does, the car light comes on and you can see Morrie blink. (01:45:40)

Suggested correction: Morrie does not blink, but his body moves slightly due to the car rocking.

You can see him blink in the edition I have.

I saw it yesterday on the Netflix version. Morrie blinked.

The mistake is valid. When Tommy says, "Where you going, you dizzy motherf*cker you," specifically just as he says the words "you dizzy," we do indeed see Morrie's left eye blink (the shadow covers his right eye). It has nothing to do with: "his body moves slightly due to the car rocking." This mistake is quite visible when streaming (MAX and Tubi, timecode 01:45:43), and it's especially visible on a laptop or iPad.

Henry Hill: Jimmy was the kind of guy that rooted for bad guys in the movies.

Question: In the voice over planning the Lufthansa heist. It's said that Joe Budda and Frenchy were supposed to tie up the guards and keep them from the alarms. Frenchy worked at the airport. No matter if he wore a mask or not, it would be a gigantic risk of being recognized for Frenchy to be anywhere near the guards who work at the same airport. How could this be?
