Joe Pesci's character Nicky Santoro was based on real-life Chicago gangster Tony Spilotro. As portrayed in the movie with Nicky and his brother, Spilotro and his brother really were beaten and buried in an Indiana cornfield together in 1986.

Most everyone in that movie was based on real characters, Ace Rothstein = Lefty Rosenthal, etc.




Not a movie, but Paulie Walnuts (Tony Sirico), will never flip, he has it in his contract that his character wont rat becuase he actually has some connections to half assed wiseguys in new york.
