Did You Know?
| Trivia | The story, written by Chazz Palminteri, is adapted from his autobiographical one-man play. His real name is Calogero Lorenzo Palminteri. Several studios approached him to purchase the film rights, with at least one offering one million dollars, but Palminteri refused to sell to them unless he could write the screenplay, and play the role of Sonny. None of the studios agreed as they wanted to hire another actor. Then Robert De Niro offered to go into a 50/50 partnership, with all of Palminteri's conditions met, as long as De Niro could direct and play Lorenzo. Palminteri agreed, and their contract was sealed on a handshake. See more » |
| Goofs | When Calogero is a boy in the movie it is 1960. The lower baseball on his jacket says METS. The Mets where not a team until 1962. At the time there had been no announcement of the team name Mets. See more » |
