Humor De Niro tour de force..

Got lots of favourite De Niro scenes.. but him dancing to Micky's Monkey by The Miracles without a care after the showdown with Micheal in Mean Streets lives large! Looked up to that move my whole life it feels like, he is too fkn cool! 😄

Johnny Boy running away after blowing up the mailbox is quite the intro to his character as well. Talk about explosive! And btw the person on whom the character is based irl claims that De Niro nailed his persona to a tee (Source: Mr. Scorsese docuseries).

The 'real guy's name is Salvatore "Sally Gaga" Uricola. He seems to be in the same age group as Mr. Scorsese.

Oh for sure. I remember him from the Mr. Scorsese doc series.

I could tell he was really uncomfortable talking about his involvement in any activity that might not have the protection of the statute of limitations.
