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.

FBI conversations

For doing his best, Ray Liotta listened FBI conversations in his car. He used listened it while he was driving to the filming.

True story

Joe Pesci scene that says ?Do you think I?m funny?? Is based on a real anecdote that happened to him when he was young. He worked in a restaurant and told to one gangster that he was funny. So the gangster was very angry with him. Scorsese liked that story and let Joe Pesci and Ray Liotta improvise the scene without telling to other actors.
