Death of a Goodfella

You should watch the Henry Hill documentary they had on the National Geographic Channel... it was great!! The movie was very true to his life which is rare, but the actor who played Henry Hill was pretty darn good.

 

Here is extra footage (unfortunately without the scenes):

He was one of a kind. Modern day yet old school gangster.

Good fellas is one of my top 5 favorite gangster movies.

RIP

 

Sammy the Bull is more interesting though if you really like reading about these guys and their lifestyles.

NPR had a fascinating segment on Hill the other day. For example, Hill loved to rob trucks. His favorite type of truck to rob was a truck filled with razors. Why? Because they were easy to unload, hard to track, they fetch a huge price in a small package, and he could make a fortune selling to a discount store. That is why Hill was a wise guy

 

 

oops- here is the segment
