Movie: Goodfellas (1990)

“Henry Hill is a small time gangster, who takes part in a robbery with Jimmy Conway and Tommy De Vito, two other gangsters who have set their sights a bit higher. His two partners kill off everyone else involved in the robbery, and slowly start to climb up through the hierarchy of the Mob. Henry, however, is badly affected by his partners success, but will he stoop low enough to bring about the downfall of Jimmy and Tommy? Written by Colin Tinto {cst@imdb.com}”

Tagline: “As far back as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to be a gangster.” — Henry Hill, Brooklyn, N.Y. 1955.

Trivia: During one of the final scenes in the movie, Henry Hill is shown opening his front door and picking up a newspaper. Close inspection reveals that the newspaper is the Youngstown Vindicator. This detail was included by Martin Scorsese as an homage to Youngstown, Ohio, which has been referred to as Mobtown USA.

Goofs: Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Tommy takes out Stacks, he says, “You’d be late to your own funeral” as he puts the gun to the back of Stacks’ head. When they show Tommy in slow motion, he doesn’t say anything. This is not a goof but rather because Tommy shoots him once in the head and then moves positions before shooting him again. In slow-mo, we do not see the first shot, only the latter ones.
