Trivia
Mobsters as extras
According to Nicholas Pileggi, some actual mobsters were hired as extras to lend authenticity to scenes. The mobsters gave fake Social Security numbers to Warner Bros. and it is unknown how they received their paychecks.
An Alternative
The now-legendary Steadicam trip through the nightclub kitchen was a happy accident. Scorsese had been denied permission to go through the front, and had to improvise an alternative.
Ray Liotta's mother
Ray Liotta's mother died of cancer during filming. Liotta says that he used his anger over losing his mother for certain scenes.
