Anyone who has seen Casino will find this familiar...

That Las Vegas Mayor, Oscar Goodman, is a piece of work! Notice how he hams it up for the camera back then and is still doig it. He doesn't put his hands on Tony, he must have been warned! NIce video!

If you didnt know who he was you'd just think he was a harmless down to earth guy.
He doesnt look dangerous but he damn well was!!!

He was a nasty little mother for sure. Amazing how he gets a lot of sympathy because he was whacked!

He even played himself in Casino.

This scene is literally right outta Casino. Damn, I'm surprised how new that whole area looks surround the courthouse.

And the dimwitted, little guys Tony has as associates following him and Oscar.

Also in Casino, Frank Cullota, who is played by Frank Vincent, has a part in the movie. Cullota is shown at the end when he shoots the guy in Costa Rica and the guy in the parking lot. Watch it and see!

"Frankie," the guy played by Vincent, is not the same as the guy(s) who did all the killings at the end of the film.

One of the best books on Vegas, "The Black Book and the Mob," has photos of Spilotro and his brother who are absolute dead ringers for Joe Pesci and the guy who played his brother in the film.

Not the same guy Turnbull, I think Beanshooter is saying how the real Frank Cullota worked as a consultant on the film & had a small role as one of the killers towards the end. Not Frank Vincent.

I was hoping to hear Tony's voice, instead of his brother ("Can we borrow that bike?") & co. ("Watch you dont get hit by a car now") For some reason that cracked me up.

He definitely gives a nasty eye towards the camera a few times. If the reporters knew then all that we know now about Spilotro... Anyway, despite all he did, I still feel bad whenever I see him & his brother. It apparently didn't happen in a cornfield, but in a basement. In any case, beaten to death with your little brother...fucked up.

Its not suprising that Spilotro was a vicious man - he was Sam DeStefano's apprentice after all!!!

IDK. Unassuming is not the word I would use to describe this guy. He has gangster written all over him and don't mention the entourage..

When was this shot? Shortly before he was wacked?

Yes Cullota was in the movie in the Cosa Rica hit and I think he was the 2nd shooter when they took out Stone in the snow.

I think he even gets to say his favorite word in the Cosa Rica hit, "jagoff"

Yea casting for that film was pretty dang good. Even De Niro was a pretty good Left Rosenthal too.

Has Frank Vincent ever aged? LOL

Lol I don't think he has ever aged. He's been 70 since the early 90s

i know right

there ain't no telling how many bodies he's cut into pieces

I know it, I graduated 16 years ago and I've aged more than he has

Don't think I've seen these posted here before but these are photos of the Spilotros' grave and their individual bodies (Tony first, then Michael):

Woah! What a find, Snakes.

Heh. Their bodies seem well preserved. I would have thought they would have been a lot more decomposed than that.

Doesn't look like the people digging are wearing any kind of masks or protection.

I would imagine the smell of a rotting body is unbearable and the gases, possibly dangerous.

Their bodies were found nine days after they were buried. They wouldn't be too decomposed, not sure about the smell but it couldn't have smelled like roses.

I used to study pathology so belive me after 48 hours the smell is there

I heard it smells like BBQ do you have BBQ in Albania

Morris Shenker played a hand in that..Greenlight Greenlight

No,it doesnt smell like bbq,it smells like shit left for two days on a mid fire(just to keep it warm ya know),i bet youll like it.And wrong again im not from Albania....you whacko....i wish i was

Why did Tony's son think the main target was Michael, and Tony was just an "addition" to prevent revenge?

great video Ivy and pictures from Snake. Thanks to both for sharing

I read that too. I've never heard anyone else say that besides his son, though.

It seems pretty obvious to me that the Spilotros were executed because all of the bosses were essentially going away for the rest of their lives, and they blamed him for bringing all the heat on them in Vegas.

Yea his brother wasn't a heavy enough hitter IMO. Plus I listened to an interview with Tony's wife and kid and they are BEYOND nuts. She is so zoned out you'd think she smoked a few before the interview.
