Michael Franzese, a former New York mobster and ex-caporegime of the Colombo crime family, rates classic mafia movie scenes on how accurate they are. The US mafia is featured in many classic movies from the 1920s onwards. We discuss the cultural significance and accuracy of famous crime scenes in movies and TV shows, such as “The Sopranos.” Franzese also points out inaccuracies in scenes from mob comedies such as “Analyze This” and “The Simpsons.”
Franzese discusses true stories and real-life characters featured in “Goodfellas” and “Casino.” He talks about his proximity to the events of Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman,” the Oscar-nominated movie starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino.
After Franzese was released from prison in 1995, he became the only high ranking official of a major mafia family to ever walk away, without protective custody, and survive. Franzese is the author of “Blood Covenant” and “I’ll Make You An Offer You Can’t Refuse.” He now works as a public speaker and motivator.

Al Capone died in 1947 – he was a good bit older than "…in his thirties…", specifically, he was 48. It may also be recalled however, that he spent from 1932 until about 1945 in prison at Alcatraz, before being released under house arrest in Key Biscayne, Florida, for health reasons. Geoff Rohde
“Murder was taken very seriously”… 30 seconds later… “you raise your hand to a made guy, you’re dead”
Benny egg, chicken head, Fred no nose, fat tony…all sounds familiar to me….I remember the fat tony who guards the door in my past life….

Favorite mob nickname ever, Paulie Walnuts…
He has the engine and rearend in his hot rod from the burgundy buick and still drives it today , from the friction 😂
He's a real tai lou 大佬.
"Al capone died in his early 30's." Capone died at 48
Perry Annunziata was just an associate… cmon brooo 😛
David chase has been on record saying Olivia soprano is based on his own mother, not yours , but the ego is strong Mikey CantChase
I always had a natural curiosity about the Mafia: the code, the old rules, it fascinates me , that s why i m so happy to hear Michael's stories.
Cool fellow 😉

Thoroughly enjoyable
Why does he sound like Keanu Reeves?
the fact micheal was 68 when this came out shocks me to this day
informaaa
Very good 👍🏿
Never really liked this dude I think he's a hypocrite.
This guy came to my church over a decade ago. Took me a minute to recognize him. He wrote a book about his story called Blood Covenant.
You're awesome man talking about that I used to live in dinuba many years ago but I live in San Bernardino now wish we had somebody like you over here to talk about that cuz s*** happens everyday here
I guy I used to work with back in the 2010s told me a story about his experiences working with mob guys, he just didn't quite figure it out until he told me, lol. Started asking how the boss could afford such things? until the boss put his arm around him and set him straight in a nice way. Some peoples children?
No bs he can’t say how real scenes was from before his time he don’t know how they was moving
Every is a movie critic now, even cold blooded murderer like Michael here.
Ur time will come Michael.
Carlo died in 1976 all due respect
what he brings up about the sopranos "not being realistic" is literally brought up in the show
He is practically confessing how is he not going to jail
im dark australian and i love italian american humour you guys sort of have humour like us glad Lord got a hold of you too your very inspiring interesting an u look a bit like (cant act ) harvey keitel sorry hes overated deniros a better actor an pesci
I agree with this actually, first guy to give a realistic opinion
Looks like they got rid of the Sonny death scene from The Godfather
This guy is awesome! He is a "unicorn." He got out of the 'life" and was able to turn it into a positive. Well done!
Why'd they cut this video down?
Deniro is my favorite mob actor.
Imagine watching a mob movie and being able to turn to your dad and asking, "Did this happen?"
A hit was put out on Tony for seeing a shrink and disrespecting Junior so it was pretty realistic
Pet er😢
The video is cut up a bit, in a weird way too.
They removed the killing scene from The Godfather
So this guy was a capo, not even an underboss, but he's advertised as a mafia boss !?
How tf ia a capo a mob boss ?
Well I wonder less about his survival now. He's just about the last man standing.
Murderer !
What a total fraud.
