Sonny in Bronx Tale did seem to rag on his own crew a lot. The only guys that never got messed with were him, the guy that barges on to Lorenzo's bus to offer him the numbers job, and the other guy that always wore a suit, that Sonny would talk to on the sidewalk. The rest of those guys were like a peanut gallery that Sonny routinely abused. Maybe those 3 were made, the others just hangers on. Didn't Chaz Palminteri get sued for stealing this story from someone else? Also, I seemed to have read somewhere that the basis for Sonny and his crew were actually Boston guys, not the Bronx.
