Fun fact: a few years after the movie was released, it was revealed that the man Ace Rothstein was based on was an FBI informant the whole time. Which means that in this scene, they kill literally everyone, including some of their most loyal and capable men... except for the one guy who was actually ratting them out.
As shown in the movie, they eventually did to try to kill Frank Rosenthal with a car bomb in 1982. Rosenthal was an informant for the FBI, but refused to testify for the FBI in any criminal cases. But its unknown when he started to talk to the FBI or what he told them. He likely avoided prosecution by being an informant. Its said that he was not in the witness protection program, but its still vaguely possible that after 1982 he was getting some kind of government protection.
Not quite. It only came out that Frank Rosenthal was working for the FBI after his passing in 2008. At the same time, it was revealed that the person Ginger was based on was an FBI source as well.

What's worse about it is that Remo Gaggi was the one to deny it. Not only because he's a racist asshole, but because he was afraid to take a chance, especially when he was described as "a degenerate gambler who always lost". Like, this character was known for taking too many stupid chances. So he's a hypocrite on top of it.
The hit man who killed Stoney and Nance, as well as several others in this sequence, was played by Frank Cullotta, who was a real hit man for the mob. Cullotta was also an advisor to Martin Scorsese, lending greater realism to the scenes. Cullotta died of natural causes at the age of 81 in August 2020.

@@souloftheage I'm aware of that old criticism and it's extension of the general advice for dramatists to "show, not tell." But I see it as an extension of novel writing, when used well.

Marty Scorsese's films have used it so often that it's become a trademark for him. And Casino uses voice-overs many times, if I recall correctly.

Casino is one of the best mafia movies I've ever seen. Besides the impeccable acting, I love how it shows the brutal truth of the mafia. The people you've known and trusted your whole life end up betraying you to save their own asses. There's a reason why the most important rule of the mafia is to NEVER trust anyone, especially the ones who are close to you

I know it’s a movie but it’s still horrible to hear Ginger’s dialogue at: 2:59 the way she goes “Oh no, no! No! No!” This implies heavily that as the movie says, she was more than likely held down by a group of drug addicts and saw them preparing to give her a hot dose. So she’s desperately trying to get away from them but can’t in time which leads to those horrible last words she utters. They inject her, and let her go because she’s already dead and she knows it as well. So while she stumbles out trying to get some help, the drug addicts are rummaging through all her stuff. Trying to figure out what they could take from her. It terrifying in a way. Fully conscious that you’re about to be killed and there’s nobody and nothing that can save you.
That's not at all what happens. It was an accidental overdose on bad product. She just knew as soon as she injected it what was about to happen. If the mob wanted her dead they would just shoot her like they did everyone else.
I actually never even realized this on my first watch. I assumed the front desk and "No no!" Was from a separate hit. And that Ginger just overdosed. On rewatch the scene became so much darker and horrifying. Would be an awful way to die.
I've never done drugs and would have never figured these things out. What is meant by "hot dose"? And do fellow drug users really in fact hold / tie others down and inject them? I mean I've seen college guys / military guys force their buddies to smash down shots or liquor, but drug chemicals is a different story. They use needles?
@@mikem.2078A "hot dose" is heroin that is either far more potent than normal or cut with something (either poison, meth, or, in modern times, fentanyl) that makes even hardcore addicts go into an overdose. It's commonly given to someone disguised as normal heroin, or as hinted here, forcibly injected into someone. Often either as revenge, or to facilitate theft or SA. You can generally tell if a shot was "hot" but unless you get immediate medical attention, you go into a massive overdose and it stops your lungs or heart.
I saw The Irishman in a limited cinema release and got through the whole 3.5 hours without needing to use the restroom. Thank God for Netflix. The only Martin Scorcese film that I disliked was Gangs Of New York😀
Even funnier is before that line where Nance was attempting to get away, the other two are chasing him. I don't know, to me, seeing that part where old Italian hitmen are kinda running is just hilarious to me. Lmao.
That scene at the end with Sharon Stone always pops into my head whenever I get to the end of the song. The whole plays in my head when I hear this song. It’s a testament to Marty’s true nature as a filmmaker 🎞️🎥🎬🙌 Or as Pesci said to Scorsese at his AFI Lifetime Achievement Award, “He’s earn the right of Don. Don Scorsese.” 🌹😉👏🏻
You know a scene from a movie is epic when every time you hear the song, your mind flashes right back to the movie. And who hear does not know which song was played when "Mr Blonde" cut a cop's ear off?
The cruellest part was always how they kept dumping bullets into an already dead body and swearing at the people they were killing. Completely inhumane lack of respect for life.
That's how come they are 'hit men'. They're sociopaths. It's not something you take a college class on. It's something you just are or aren't. Takes a lot of repressed anger and hatred to do it, I'm sure. Like throwing paper towels at a crowd of people that just lost everything they ever had from a hurricane and a flood...it takes a special kind of person.
@@muhuhuhuhuhu Thats a good one too, but I think this one is better because of the role it plays in "summing up" the fates of many of the players at the end of the story. The Goodfellas one is more of a middle of the story montage, so its role in the drama is more limited.
Sharon Stone in a spectacular performance! In the scene where she appears to the sound of Stella by Starlight is one of the most enchanting things in movie history!
I would have preferred someone with a little wider acting range. I see her characters, and I see the actress Sharon Stone playing a character. Compare that to the real heavy weights, where you see the character. That was no "spectacular performance".
It’s funny in another Scorsese movie usually the wife is a character you kinda sympathize with or wanna see get out the situation alright. When I first saw Ginger die in this I was like “Ehh she had it comin”
Casino is probably one of the best mob movies of all-time, where Joe Pesci was as cool as he could in Goodfellas movie, in spite of he was the supporting actor. On the other hand, I watched Scorsese's latest movie "the Irishman", which was a kind of homage towards those movies Marty made working with De Niro & Pesci.
I dunno Johnny Depp seemed more menacing On Black Mass than anyone on Casino. However Casino has something special about it and makes it stick out more.
Never known how Sharon Stone can look so stunning and so ugly in the same film. That's how great her acting was. I was in love mesmerised by her character in a way that not many on screen characters have affected me. Then the 2nd half she was a proper skank. It's amazing acting and work from all involved
I think what they did to Stone was a bit excessive, they clipped him because of the mere possibility he might talk, almost begrudgingly they agreed to do it. Yet when the hitmen come they put a lot of shots into him with a lot of retribution there, you'd think they'd ask to make it quick and clean, afterall he wasn't a rat and kept his honor up to that point.
It kills me that so much of the negative aspects of "Sam's" real life personality was left out of this film so that "Ginger" looked like the bad guy. If you read the true account of it in the novel the movie was based off of, they were both very troubled, very abusive to each other. His real name was Frank Rosenthal, and he was known to have been controlling and both physically and emotionally abusive to his wife, Geri (Ginger in the film). She was by no means a saint; she did cheat on him, did drugs, etc, but it wasn't like in the film where he treated her like a princess and she was just a vicious cold hearted wench. An excellent film, without a doubt and the acting of everyone was stellar. I just wish it had been more balanced when it came to the actual couple.
I read about that myself. He cheated on her a lot. Also, she was a showgirl, not a working girl, Geri McGee. Frank was also blacklisted from entering any Vegas casinos.
3:09 a motel with exposed cinder blocks in the main hallway? brilliant shot location scouting. And the way she stumbles through dark and light dark and light. And then her last gasp before dying is that she tries to go into another anonymous room for maybe one more trick ... just brilliant directing.
Why take a chance? Insane how the fates of human lives come down to a simple phrase like "why take a chance?" What a scary world these people live in. Sheesh.
Fun Fact: The actor playing the hitman wacking everyone in this scene is Frank Cullotta. Hes the real life gangster that is played by Frank Vincent in the film that is the right hand man to Joe Pesci’s character.
Love Alan King's stand up. Years ago he did a great bit about the wife & her new nose & Gucci luggage. Saw him coming out of Le Cirque in NYC years ago.
See the "Michael Franzese" channel for what they get right and wrong in all mob films. He was a former capo in the Colombo crime family. Very interesting stuff.
I constantly hear about Scorsese not writing strong roles for women. Every time I hear that I think have you seen Sharon Stone in Casino?! She’s amazing!!
That was Sharon Stone the actress that made Ginger have prominent presence, not Scorsese writing her in general. Ginger/Geri’s story was heavily skewed, and she was demonized in order to make us sympathize with Ace/Lefty. Despite this and being more consistently prominent in the third act, Stone managed to make the most of her character.
When I went to film school, one of the professors was criticizing this movie for its unusual voiceover narrative using multiple characters. Saying it broke the rule and that it would never be accepted by Hollywood standard. So my point is sometimes is okay to break the rule in order to tell a great story because that's what Casino did.
I love the 3:02 corridor because 1 it represents where she ended up from wealth to cheap apartments, but also that corridor represents a skewed blind view of front to back, the sides are walled in, they never look at the walls were it ends in prison or death, they look at the long corridor with all the gleaming lights but little do they know even from a front to back view that corridor leads to the same place the walls represent.
Them mafia bosses dont take no chances when the heat is on they jus start whacking everybody to no avail because they still end up getting a life sentence in the end.
Sharon Stone was amazing in this movie.

That's right -- and I can never hear the ending of "Layla" without thinking of all those dead bodies in "Goodfellas".
Bit of a hot take but I liked Casino more than Goodfellas
Not really. I see them as equals.
Yup
Agreed.
Me too
Goodfellas to casino - you only exist here because of me!! (Of course in the voice of Joe Pesci.)
None of them had the makings of a varsity athlete
Oh shut up!

More like until Joe Pesci whacked people
You know a scene from a movie is epic when every time you hear the song, your mind flashes right back to the movie. And who hear does not know which song was played when "Mr Blonde" cut a cop's ear off?
Yup! Clowns to the left of me…etc.

Whenever I hear Rising Sun by The Animals my mind always goes back Scorsese’s Casino and the Mafia hitmen montage. Such an amazing film and song.
I can never listen to “house of the rising sun” the same way ever again.
This film is a masterpiece
The cruellest part was always how they kept dumping bullets into an already dead body and swearing at the people they were killing. Completely inhumane lack of respect for life.
That's how come they are 'hit men'. They're sociopaths. It's not something you take a college class on. It's something you just are or aren't. Takes a lot of repressed anger and hatred to do it, I'm sure. Like throwing paper towels at a crowd of people that just lost everything they ever had from a hurricane and a flood...it takes a special kind of person.
They are mobsters
Yes agreed , that where you going jerk off,,, always stuck with me, as in how can a person be so cruel.. ...
@@gplito and whats happened when you act like that against terrorist , pedos, rapist or ms-13 gangbangers ?
@@gplito this comment killed me lmao
Watching Ginger in this (hotel) scene brings back scary memories
Playing "House of the Rising Sun" in the background is genius!
This may be the greatest montage scene in cinematic history.
Layla montage scene goodfellas??
@@muhuhuhuhuhu Thats a good one too, but I think this one is better because of the role it plays in "summing up" the fates of many of the players at the end of the story. The Goodfellas one is more of a middle of the story montage, so its role in the drama is more limited.
Emmm...that will forever be Odessa Steps in Battleship Potemkin.
@@sunnygolightly9996 I’ve never seen that. Is it on RUclips?
@@robertbusek30 of course
"He wasn't Italian. For all they know he could've talked." Hilarious given how many made men flipped over the years.
This legendary song makes this scene ever better. Pretty amazing!!!
I do not care what anyone says, this film is better than Goodfellas. For sure.
THATS WHAT IM SAYIN!
Oh then I definitely need to watch this. Just finished Goodfellas last night
🧢
No.
No way imo great movie but Goodfellas is number one ☝️
So they cut out the swearing but not someone getting whacked 😂
That’s odd
Sharon Stone in a spectacular performance! In the scene where she appears to the sound of Stella by Starlight is one of the most enchanting things in movie history!
I would have preferred someone with a little wider acting range. I see her characters, and I see the actress Sharon Stone playing a character.
Compare that to the real heavy weights, where you see the character.
That was no "spectacular performance".
Brilliant scene one of my favorites in the movie
It’s funny in another Scorsese movie usually the wife is a character you kinda sympathize with or wanna see get out the situation alright. When I first saw Ginger die in this I was like “Ehh she had it comin”
Casino is probably one of the best mob movies of all-time, where Joe Pesci was as cool as he could in Goodfellas movie, in spite of he was the supporting actor. On the other hand, I watched Scorsese's latest movie "the Irishman", which was a kind of homage towards those movies Marty made working with De Niro & Pesci.
The character of Andy Stone is based on Alan Dorfmann.
I dunno Johnny Depp seemed more menacing On Black Mass than anyone on Casino. However Casino has something special about it and makes it stick out more.
Never known how Sharon Stone can look so stunning and so ugly in the same film. That's how great her acting was. I was in love mesmerised by her character in a way that not many on screen characters have affected me. Then the 2nd half she was a proper skank. It's amazing acting and work from all involved
She portrayed a gold digger pretty well
@@speedking7224
I’m pretty sure that if you look up gold digger in the dictionary, there’s a picture of her next to the definition.
@@jacksongibbs8998 Sharon Stone is not a gold digger. The character she plays is.
She looked stunningly beautiful in the first half of the film!
@@ricomajestic
When I said ‘her,’ I was referring to the character, not the actress.
That was cold the way they killed Stoney, literally was on a cold day too.
in the mafia world, be close to your friends....but be closer to your enemies.
Amazing Quote 😎👌🏽
This might be my favorite part of this wonderful film. Iconic song, iconic ending
Pure art of a film....
Best house of the rising sun video ever. Loved watching it on mtv.
House of Rising Sun is my ring tone. Great scene
I know Ny has the 5 families, but the Chicago outfit was no fuckin joke especially with Tony Accardo up top back then
All I can say is Al Capone..
They were kind of stupid. Almost as bad as the idiot Philly crew lol

I think what they did to Stone was a bit excessive, they clipped him because of the mere possibility he might talk, almost begrudgingly they agreed to do it. Yet when the hitmen come they put a lot of shots into him with a lot of retribution there, you'd think they'd ask to make it quick and clean, afterall he wasn't a rat and kept his honor up to that point.
It’s to make sure he’s dead. It was quick and clean right behind the ear. The extras were to be sure. Nicki was a retribution kill
“And That's That.” Ace Rothstein.
Where did he retire?
One of the best scenes in film history, voiceover, music and camera work
It kills me that so much of the negative aspects of "Sam's" real life personality was left out of this film so that "Ginger" looked like the bad guy. If you read the true account of it in the novel the movie was based off of, they were both very troubled, very abusive to each other. His real name was Frank Rosenthal, and he was known to have been controlling and both physically and emotionally abusive to his wife, Geri (Ginger in the film). She was by no means a saint; she did cheat on him, did drugs, etc, but it wasn't like in the film where he treated her like a princess and she was just a vicious cold hearted wench. An excellent film, without a doubt and the acting of everyone was stellar. I just wish it had been more balanced when it came to the actual couple.
I read about that myself. He cheated on her a lot. Also, she was a showgirl, not a working girl, Geri McGee. Frank was also blacklisted from entering any Vegas casinos.
I like how Andy gets shot twice point blank in the back of the head and he just kind of stumbles for a couple seconds like he tripped over the curb.
How you react if you got 2 9 millimeters in the head?
He was shot twice with a 22 in the neck so he wasn't dead immediately it was him still trying to walk forward into his car
"Look, why take a chance.....at least that's the way i feel about it."
Gotta protect the family
3:09 a motel with exposed cinder blocks in the main hallway? brilliant shot location scouting.
What lovely peaceful film
Perfect for a family gathering.
3:09 a motel with exposed cinder blocks in the main hallway? brilliant shot location scouting. And the way she stumbles through dark and light dark and light. And then her last gasp before dying is that she tries to go into another anonymous room for maybe one more trick ... just brilliant directing.
"one more trick"
My man she was looking for HELP. She knew she was dying. Good lord lmao
It was shot at the Ogden House in downtown Las Vegas.
Best scene in the movie.
Why take a chance? Insane how the fates of human lives come down to a simple phrase like "why take a chance?" What a scary world these people live in. Sheesh.
Fun Fact: The actor playing the hitman wacking everyone in this scene is Frank Cullotta. Hes the real life gangster that is played by Frank Vincent in the film that is the right hand man to Joe Pesci’s character.
Best song ever for this
Love Alan King's stand up. Years ago he did a great bit about the wife & her new nose & Gucci luggage. Saw him coming out of Le Cirque in NYC years ago.
Such a happy ending.
This movie was incredible.
See the "Michael Franzese" channel for what they get right and wrong in all mob films. He was a former capo in the Colombo crime family. Very interesting stuff.
I constantly hear about Scorsese not writing strong roles for women. Every time I hear that I think have you seen Sharon Stone in Casino?! She’s amazing!!
That was Sharon Stone the actress that made Ginger have prominent presence, not Scorsese writing her in general. Ginger/Geri’s story was heavily skewed, and she was demonized in order to make us sympathize with Ace/Lefty. Despite this and being more consistently prominent in the third act, Stone managed to make the most of her character.
@SuperMarioFan 3001 Alice doesn't live here anymore?
When I went to film school, one of the professors was criticizing this movie for its unusual voiceover narrative using multiple characters. Saying it broke the rule and that it would never be accepted by Hollywood standard. So my point is sometimes is okay to break the rule in order to tell a great story because that's what Casino did.
Who else thinks of Casino when you hear this song? 🙋🏻
House of the rising sun is perfect for movies like Casino or Goodfellas
At least in this business you don't have to worry about retiring
Sharon stones greatest performance
I could swear that final scene with Ginger was filmed in the Nellis VOQ.
Best use of 'House of the Rising Sun' in a movie ever!
What a scene. God damnit I love this movie
I'm glad they censored the cursing in this montage of people getting murdered in cold blood.
I love the 3:02 corridor because 1 it represents where she ended up from wealth to cheap apartments, but also that corridor represents a skewed blind view of front to back, the sides are walled in, they never look at the walls were it ends in prison or death, they look at the long corridor with all the gleaming lights but little do they know even from a front to back view that corridor leads to the same place the walls represent.
Goat movie
I love how they bleep the bad language but we see all the blood, gore and brutality in good ol’ Technicolor… 😂😂
"Look, why take a chance?" LOL, like he's trying to decide for example on using Purolator or a cheaper but lesser known company.
Them mafia bosses dont take no chances when the heat is on they jus start whacking everybody to no avail because they still end up getting a life sentence in the end.
