Ex-Mob Boss Reviews Mafia Movie Scenes

Simpsons okay may have a problem with this one everyone my name is Michael Franzese I'm a former capo in the Colombo crime family one of the five New York Mafia families and spent it over 20 years in that life and I'm here today to review some iconic scenes from various Slavia movies TV shows so on and so forth but I think you'll find it very interesting you think I'm skimming off the top make your unlucky a Michael Corleone very famous scene again eases a bad name for Italians nobody wants to be called that when you're Italian having said that to a guy in Michael Corleone's position wouldn't worry he would have got hurt right there on the spot salting him left and right I mean you just don't do that another thing in this scene again Duvall played this role brilliantly but it was fictional in the Godfather because the kansui area is a real position you got to take the earth and become a made member in order to be consul years well Robert Duvall on this he wasn't even Italian and you can't become a made guy unless you're Italian Mike you don't talk to a man like Moe green like that there's no way that Fredo would have told Michael in real life hey do you realize who you're talking to when his brother is the mob boss I thought the Godfather was the greatest mob movie ever I really do I still feel that way but that scene was very unrealistic no doubt if I had to rate that scene you're realism on a scale of 1 to 5 that would be a while it might even be a zero I think in all fairness I should explain to you exactly what it is that I do for instance tomorrow morning I'll get up nice and early take a walk down over to the bank and walk in and see and if you don't have my money for me I'll crack your head wide open I gotta tell you I've seen and heard been around people that have done that you know what it surprised me here is that Pesci didn't hit him right on the spot just smack him right in the mouth smack him around a little bit but he controlled himself pretty well you people out of money and get away with it hey fat Irish pretty boy money to sleep you go get my money or I'll put your brain to sleep joe pesci without a doubt is the most realistic the greatest actor in a mob role ever he just lights it up I knew guys like him so he's real he portrays a mob guy better than any mob guy that I knew I can tell you this I guarantee that it's not scripted in every way the way he says it you know he was part of that life will be grew up in it in a way and he's got it down pat on a scale of 1 to 5 I give this a 5 extremely realistic the only thing that was missing is he probably would have hit him right on his spot at least smacked him wants it twice Simpsons ok may have a problem with this I never saw the senses in my life even got the mob in the Simpson show received his weekly payment for keeping McDonald's and Burger King out of town Artie's oh my gosh my butt of my puppet I was pretty realistic you're not getting away with paying $5 when you owe more I'll tell you that much on a scale of one to five I rate this a five Simpsons got it you got a debt on the street you don't get away with it you either run away or you never get away from the juice money and you're collecting big on it every week you're gonna have to pay it all I never knew that the mob was involved even with the Simpsons it's pretty cool you definitely don't want a silencer you want to make a lot of noise to make the witnesses run away sorry ain't gonna be looking at you you know my view of the Irishman in general is that well acted of course I got all the brilliant actors in there but it was unrealistic the movie well I shouldn't say that it was really untrue you know Scorsese always makes great mob movies so the movie itself was brilliant you know I'll be honest with you back in the day we didn't look for using a silencer for a certain reason we didn't want to make noise so people would run away never heard of anything like that I mean you pick your weapon and you you that's it the noise of 45 makes because that makes too much noise and a patrol car can hear it a few blocks away at least okay the difference in noise between a 45 and a lighter caliber that's silly I mean I don't know why he would even say something like that you're gonna make noise and make noise and back in the day it was either a 32 or a shotgun those are the two weapons that we use most of the time you never you never got a lot of advance notice all you knew was you're part of it I will say now what he is saying is true when you have a hit squad like that you try not to give too much information to the people that are involved in it really just the main guy knows everything the other guys are just coming along and you do that for security purposes you don't want the people with you you know knowing too much just in case they did become an informant at some point in time so this is realistic this is a bit personal to me not that I had anything to do with the shooting I didn't but this was my time my family and I was very well aware of what was going on at that time because the family was on the brink of war this is back when Joey Gallo had planned the assassination of Joe Colombo at the italian-american civil rights League they happened to be there that day and I was 10 steps away from Joe Colombo when he got shot so I knew what happened then I knew what happened in the aftermath I know for a fact that Frank's your hand was not one of the shooters for Joey Gallo in that regard this was untrue you know the depiction of the scene it was pretty good because that's the way it happened shooter went in there and they did start shooting at him when his family was president which is something that's not normally done but this was a strong message to Joey Gallo that what he did was just wrong I mean you shoot a a mob boss in front of 50,000 people his family and everybody else so he paid the price so the scene itself was pretty accurate but again sheer him was not the killer so on a scale of one to five I would give this probably a to know when you think of prison you get pictures in your mind of all those old movies with bows and bows of guys behind bars but it wasn't like that for wiseguys I've been asked this a million times I gotta clear this up right away I spent eight years in prison I was arrested I think 17 or 18 times in my life so I've been in jails all over the country my dad did 40 years in prison so basically I've been either in prison or visiting prisons my entire life this scene is total nonsense I mean look Italian guys we had a little better at times in prison because we had guys in the kitchen so we'd eat a little better we never had this kind of stuff coming in contraband every once in a while maybe we got a little you know treat coming into the prison but nothing like this I mean this isn't even a jail I don't even know where they are looks like they're still in somebody's house so totally unrealistic I wish it was like that but it was you know as far as realism on this I have to give it a zero because there's no way that anything like this ever took place but I'll tell you something I was proud to be Johnny Sopranos kid well he beat the out of that guy I went to the class I told him how tough my father was do you think that's how your son feels about you yeah probably and I'm glad I'm glad if he's proud of me but that's the bind I'm in because I don't want him to be like me I think the dialogue is right on here I'm thinking of myself talking about you know my father and how I'd want my son to think about me throughout my time in that life I know a lot of guys that would not want their children to follow them in that life most of the guys wanted their sons to be educated I think it's pretty realistic as far as the dialogue now who he's saying it to and in the you know the context of this scene that's unrealistic if a mob boss was ever visiting a psychiatrist he'd be in the trunk of his car by the end of the week along with his psychiatrist because it would be the same as if he was talking to a cop well he became an informant so that part of The Sopranos totally unrealistic how come I'm not making pots in Peru you're born today you are what you are yeah obviously I disagree with that I know you're not born into well you're born into it but it's not a genetic deal where you have to follow in your father's footsteps so it's really just the way circumstances turn out that's how it was in my life so I want to scale a 1 to 5 the overall scene I'd have to rate as zero because you'd never see a mob boss talking to a psychiatry if he did he'd be killed no doubt about it but as far as what Tony said I would rate that as a five but just be careful I just caution you when you watch this don't take everything as being factual and the truth take a lot of this with a grain of salt a lot of things are fictional but there's always some semblance of truth in many of them that I've seen just enjoy the movies enjoy the television series dude that's what they're there for entertaining [Music]
