That picture of Ralph standing in front of the "Church" of Scientology is the funniest goddamn thing I've seen all week and has inspired me to drive to Orlando and do the same thing.
That line "I, me, John Gotti, will sever his m************ head off," was an ACTUAL quote from him during the wiretaps from the FBI. I thought it was ridiculous until I heard the tapes
I was reading other comments saying Gotti was a fucking big loathed moron who effectively rat himself out by running his fucking mouth(maybe he should have worn a muzzl- i mean corona mask) . They should have just played up Travolta's narcissism as much as possible, and turned it into a comedy without telling him.
If that's true, haven't checked yet, that's really funny. Imagine specifically referring to yourself when you're talking about the crime you're gonna commit so much, it's like some kinda cartoon.
The decision of putting Pitbull music in a gangster movie about Gotti is almost as nonsensical as the rapping dog from that abysmal animated Titanic film.
@@annoyingkid48 First off, my comment was me spitballing the idea that he was also trying to learn how to make music, because it sucks. not parroting the other comments. second off, who the _fuck_ cares. you're not the comment police.
The great thing about The Sopranos was that it showed how pathetic the lives of most gangsters are. Fighting and killing each other over scraps and being obsessed with being shown respect, but never even giving a thought to showing it to their fellows.
Or the fact that their own family wouldn’t respect them, and getting respect from them should matter the most. Kind of sobering to see Tony’s family life inside the house, and the erosion of their relationships. Yeah by the end he still has his family. And they do come to love him. But to your point, it was interesting how violent and obsessed they were for respect on the streets, but back at home they don’t even have a loving respect based relationship with their own spouse and children. Pathetic.
Woah, never looked at it that way. So, apparently some things are intentionally made to look bad and petty? I guess I was a little bit too young to get into it back then. I have to give it another go. Thank you. The other Tony is my favourite character, by the way.
GOTTI is just short for "Got T" which is who they got in the hit movie sleepless, which Ralph vehemently defended in his debut video "Why sleepless sucks"

Tarantino movies are cool. Cooler than Pitbull, that's for damn sure.
People underestimate things like adding food to the movie, but it really humanizes these otherwise unrelatable figures. Watching them eat and chill like a regular family and as normal dudes helps us connect to them emotionally. They're not murderous characters in those moments, they're hungry humans like the rest of us. Jesus fuck, I'm fat as hell.
Chase Edwards imagine hearing one of those guys composing a score for something like star wars or some shit like that Yeah that’s what I thought Edit: and having a rapper like lil wayne composing the last jedi will make star wars fans drive into insanity
This really shows these days how scared people are to have a villain protagonist. Even when it's based on a mob boss that murdered people in cold blood, they gotta make him look like the good guy.
@Justin Gary Idk how you see Thanos as a protagonist though to be fair I feel like IW doesn't even have a protagonist. And Joker had a ton of controversy so...
Aren’t a lot of shows about villain protagonists? That program on adult swim... the one about the back to the future guys but now they’re related? Aren’t they the villains?
The food bit is also important because it helps to humanize the characters. Italians have strong family values and the way they tend to show it is through food. So having them sitting down to a meal, preparing a meal, talking over food helps build depth and heart in the characters or inversely causes unease and tension when something fucked up is happening while they're eating or something. Like you follow a dude as he and his family make some pasta. It's all warm and sunny and they spend all day palling around, smooching their babies, corralling kids to keep them out the kitchen and then they sit down and some gangsters walk in and it's like a record skip. Suddenly things are tense. The gangsters sit down, they grab a plate, they eat, they say it's good but they're obviously not there for some spaghetti so you're just sitting there waiting for it and it goes on and on and the tension rises until....they get up to leave......and then they shoot the guy. The food is just as much a character in gangster films as the people who eat it, so not having it just sucks he soul out of scenes where it belongs.
It helps show how a family works and acts around each other too. Is the table quiet? Family isn't close at all. Too loud? Probably a pretty hectic life style they live every day. A dinner scene is something everyone can relate to because everyones had a family dinner before. it helps you connect with the characters in a short time.
@Misogynistic MILFlover The following movies can become classics like gotti ! The Batman,scored by Pitbull Fantastic Beast 3,scored by Pitbull Star Wars episode IX scored by Pitbull
Coming from someone who dated an Italian girl and had dinner with her family several times... this movie does NOT do Italian families justice. At all. Like even close.
I know. The gradual change in villains (Zack Snyder -----> Macon) is extremely entertaining to watch, and episodes like MaconTheLet'sPlayer help to flesh out the characters and set them up for events (the Justice League video) without us even realizing.
I wholeheartedly agree that food is one of the most important parts of mob movies and when done well, it really sells the hospitality of mafia families and just makes me wanna cook. This movie has none of that. Also I noticed the color pallette of lots of classic mob movies is very warm, inviting. It gets cold and green/blue when the characters are in a bad spot. This movie's coloration is always dull and grey and boring.
Gravano was the brains and braun behind Gotti, who was dumb as shit, the fact that hes still alive and free proves it. GOTTI WAS A DUMB BAG OF ROCKS WHO WAS IN LOVE WITH HIMSELF FOR SOME FUCKING REASON AND WAS A LARGE PART OF THE REASON LAW ENFORCEMENT TOOK THE FAMILY DOWN, HE COULD NEVER LEARN TO SHUT HIS MOUTH AND THATS HOW HE WENT DOWN. THAT AND THE FACT HE THOUGHT GRAVANO WOULD TAKE THE RAP FOR HIM. THOUGHT WRONG, DUMMY! THEN NOONE IN THE FAMILY RESPECTED HIS EVEN DUMMER SON SO HE TRIED FLIPPING AND HE COULDNT EVEN DO THAT RIGHT. WHAT A BUNCH OF CRIMINAL SCUMBAGS
I love Macon's development. He was just weird, awkward, sweet, but kinda creepy kid, and now he's killing people while telling them the worst things they could ever hear as they die for the sole purpose of making their last moments as torturous as possible.
So glad u mentioned the food, that was seriously the most angering part of the movie for me. I'm Mexican but I had a best friend who was Italian and not ONCE did I ever leave their house hungry. If anything I had to get bigger pants every time I went over cuz we ate so damn much.
when i was in high school i dated an italian guy and i practically lived at his house because his mom just had delicious food constantly available and LOVED feeding me. the most authentic thing about being italian is the food--red sauce, bread, sausage, meatballs, cannolis........ i miss it!!!!!
I have a friend who went to Italian lessons, taught by an Italian migrant. I can't recall very well, but it was either the teacher bringing food every Friday, or giving the assignment to bring a certain Italian dish every Friday. Either way, my friend got chubby.
Being part Italian, Ralph Sepe Jr. gives literally the best Italian gangster I have ever seen. More importantly the best I’ve ever heard. You deserve at least 100 Oscars for representing my culture in the best way possible. 13:14
Being a practicing doctor, it really grinds my gears when movies depict one of the most emotionally challenging moments, sharing the news of a relative's death, as a quick conversation in the hallway. I swear 99% of movie and TV Show doctors would be fired and lose their license. You get a room, you call the family in, you break the news, you let them take it in, answer any and all their questions, you can also leave the room to let them express themselves. You don't give them a damn pat on the back
What do you mean? A reassuring pat on the back is always a way to brake the news your 10 year old boy was hit by a car with people watching and completely exposed to the walk off and get a bag of chips from the vending machine for a job well done. (Like the director and writers could have just did their research or just asked a actual doctor (like yourself) how the process would go and not just pat john travolta in the back, no I guess not)
"So that's the father there, you know he's a mob boss?" "Yeah, I'll just tell him his son is dead as I'm passing him in the corridor, I'll put my hands on him as well, he'll like that."
I'd like to think of it as an equippable perspective. Right now, I say you are dead wrong while another day I might change the rails to this and go back to the initial and so on
Using food in these movies is perfectly explained in goodfellas when tommy, jimmy, and henry show up at tommy's mother's house after clipping billy batts. Its like 3 am and she still makes an entire meal and they sit down, eat, talk, laugh and all the while there is a body in the trunk. And it is arguably the most memorable scene in the whole movie
Scorsese would've just quit movies altogether. Not just making them... ever watching a movie again. In a theatre, on a plane during a coast-to-coast flight, or even on an iPhone.
My dad actually had met/seen the real John Gotti before he passed. He was doing research for law school and got to visit the prison he was at in Illinois. The guard asked my dad if he knew who he was, he didn't. The guard gave a simple reply "that's John Gotti" and that was it.
I'm kind of sad he didn't play the Italian music that was playing over the retarded Italian gangster as the end credits. Tho, the fact that it is a French song is hilarious.
@@magicman3163 Yes but usually the movies critics hate aren't very good. Plus criticism has changed since then, back then critics were genuinely elitist pricks but in comparison to now they just try to have an inkling of taste
@Hansel Cintron I wouldn't say they are shot properly. More like shot adequately. Ever Zack Snyder film has an awful gray color palate, and every scene is obscured with darkness for no reason.
HoldenNY22 Yes, if you watch the HBO production ‘Gotti’ with Armand Assante which was released back in 1996, you’ll see that his son was riding a gas powered ‘mini bike’ when he was hit by the car, and not a regular bicycle. Him riding the mini bike is really a true story. If you haven’t watched the production with Armand Assante, then you really should because it blows this garbage production with Travolta out of the water, and many times over! The Gotti movie from ‘96 was done so extremely well, and it’s too bad that it was just an HBO release, because had it been in theaters, then it would have definitely been a box office hit during that time!
13:01 This Travolta burn was hands down the funniest thing I have ever seen on YT. Unexpected and brilliantly set up. Thank you Ralph. Also those Iti Gangster characters of yours are the best! Orgoglio Italia, goomba.
You made a very good point about the food. Food and cooking is a very important part of Italian American culture. Any time theres a family get together, theres food everywhere and your grandmother, aunts, uncles, and every other person in the building wont be happy until youve eaten so much you think you might actually die. Not having any food scenes in any film about an italian family is going to make it feel off.

I can already see it now. "Remember in my review of the Tom Cruise Mummy when I said the DC franchise was close to dying? Apparently, Warner Bros. took that as a challenge because they released this movie. And it made over $1 billion. It's now the highest grossing movie based on a DC property of all time, a record previously held by The Dark Knight Rises. You heard right, folks. Aquaman - fucking Aquaman - made more money than the goddamn Batman. Shows us for laughing at Aquaman, huh? Well, joke's on you, Warner Bros. We're still laughing cuz the Aquaman movie is a fucking mess. Actually, I do have to give some respect to Warner Bros. Of all the shared universes competing with Marvel, DC has had the most success. Financially speaking, at least. The movies aren't exactly, you know, good. But while I do think Aquaman is a terrible movie, I get why some people might like it. I can respect the movie for embracing its over the top nature. It feels like a Saturday morning cartoon that was given a bigger budget than it knew what to do with. And despite all the inconsistencies in tone and writing, I admit the movie would be a whole lot worse if it played everything completely straight. So it seems DC and Warner Bros. might be on the right path after their godawful Justice League movie. Aquaman was at least not nearly as boring and wasn't plagued with production problems. And that Shazam movie is actually really good, like, unironically. But we're not talking about Shazam now, so let's talk some more about Aquaman..."
Fun fact regarding gangster movies and food kinda: Francis Ford copalla has a restaurant / winery in California and each item on the menu has a small narrative memory about why he included it in his restaurant. Also it has ac small museum of godfather memorabilia which is cool too

@@squirrellibraries9155 Pretty sure the reason why other critics skits are crap and ralphs are good is because ralph doesnt take his own skits super seriously, he works with what he has rather than use giant set pieces and you know it comes off as ironic but just the over the top nature of it all makes it that much more funnier and interesting to watch where as everyone else is trying too hard to make these drawn out, super serious, or over edited jokes/subjects that in the end theyll be lucky if they even get a chuckle out of you or watch any part of it past 5 seconds
@@MAXIMUM646 Yeah! AVGN had that too. I liked it when he had characters from the game he played in the video because it's not the main focus of the review, it's just a fun bonus.

Well wasn’t scorcese on board for directing this at first? Even THAT woupd have made all the difference. At lease Scorcese would have had some fucking food
jhhwild they should’ve just gotten Martin Scorsese to make a John Gotti movie. Maybe he would have gotten a better performance out of John Travolta, or have just gotten a better actor for the role.
My pulse starts to race every time I watch that scene from Goodfellas where Karen is yelling at Henry and throwing his contraband at him, like the same kind of discomfort you feel when you see a couple having a bad fight in public. Nothing in Gotti elicits that.
This is what happens when ones kids are involved in the making of the movie. Same with Bohemian Rhapsody when they got the other Queen members involved. You get the fake PG13 version of that persons life.
Holy crap. Before I tell you, I wanna tell you that you used "Somewhere, beyond the sea" INCREDIBLY WELL in this review. This song was used in both Goodfellas and in Finding Nemo. Secondly, I think you've done a great job of ripping this movie apart. Absolutely fantastic.

The food bit is also important because it helps to humanize the characters. Italians have strong family values and the way they tend to show it is through food. So having them sitting down to a meal, preparing a meal, talking over food helps build depth and heart in the characters or inversely causes unease and tension when something fucked up is happening while they're eating or something.
Like you follow a dude as he and his family make some pasta. It's all warm and sunny and they spend all day palling around, smooching their babies, corralling kids to keep them out the kitchen and then they sit down and some gangsters walk in and it's like a record skip. Suddenly things are tense. The gangsters sit down, they grab a plate, they eat, they say it's good but they're obviously not there for some spaghetti so you're just sitting there waiting for it and it goes on and on and the tension rises until....they get up to leave......and then they shoot the guy.
The food is just as much a character in gangster films as the people who eat it, so not having it just sucks he soul out of scenes where it belongs.
It helps show how a family works and acts around each other too. Is the table quiet? Family isn't close at all. Too loud? Probably a pretty hectic life style they live every day. A dinner scene is something everyone can relate to because everyones had a family dinner before. it helps you connect with the characters in a short time.
especially with the value that food and meals have culturally for Italians
Gott Damnit all that talk of food from you and Ralph made me like REALLY hungry

Yes it’s very humanizing as everybody eats, but then you see them act like monsters; the juxtaposition

I know. The gradual change in villains (Zack Snyder -----> Macon) is extremely entertaining to watch, and episodes like MaconTheLet'sPlayer help to flesh out the characters and set them up for events (the Justice League video) without us even realizing.
Seeing those brief clips from The Sopranos and Goodfellas in this video about Gotti was like smelling strawberries while dumpster diving

I wholeheartedly agree that food is one of the most important parts of mob movies and when done well, it really sells the hospitality of mafia families and just makes me wanna cook. This movie has none of that.
Also I noticed the color pallette of lots of classic mob movies is very warm, inviting. It gets cold and green/blue when the characters are in a bad spot. This movie's coloration is always dull and grey and boring.
Gravano was the brains and braun behind Gotti, who was dumb as shit, the fact that hes still alive and free proves it. GOTTI WAS A DUMB BAG OF ROCKS WHO WAS IN LOVE WITH HIMSELF FOR SOME FUCKING REASON AND WAS A LARGE PART OF THE REASON LAW ENFORCEMENT TOOK THE FAMILY DOWN, HE COULD NEVER LEARN TO SHUT HIS MOUTH AND THATS HOW HE WENT DOWN. THAT AND THE FACT HE THOUGHT GRAVANO WOULD TAKE THE RAP FOR HIM. THOUGHT WRONG, DUMMY! THEN NOONE IN THE FAMILY RESPECTED HIS EVEN DUMMER SON SO HE TRIED FLIPPING AND HE COULDNT EVEN DO THAT RIGHT. WHAT A BUNCH OF CRIMINAL SCUMBAGS

So glad u mentioned the food, that was seriously the most angering part of the movie for me. I'm Mexican but I had a best friend who was Italian and not ONCE did I ever leave their house hungry. If anything I had to get bigger pants every time I went over cuz we ate so damn much.
Well the fat rolls make it easier to hide the assault Rifles.
This is relatable as hell. My Italian friend made some of the best food even better than my Madré
when i was in high school i dated an italian guy and i practically lived at his house because his mom just had delicious food constantly available and LOVED feeding me. the most authentic thing about being italian is the food--red sauce, bread, sausage, meatballs, cannolis........ i miss it!!!!!
I have a friend who went to Italian lessons, taught by an Italian migrant. I can't recall very well, but it was either the teacher bringing food every Friday, or giving the assignment to bring a certain Italian dish every Friday. Either way, my friend got chubby.
Jaime Perez yeah the only reason italians are fit is because they walk their meals off
That Tony Soprano has a fit when he sees a black person bit had me cracking up. Had to stop eating

Pitbull composing musical films is like if Megadeth writes mainstream pop music. It just will not work.
Being a practicing doctor, it really grinds my gears when movies depict one of the most emotionally challenging moments, sharing the news of a relative's death, as a quick conversation in the hallway. I swear 99% of movie and TV Show doctors would be fired and lose their license. You get a room, you call the family in, you break the news, you let them take it in, answer any and all their questions, you can also leave the room to let them express themselves. You don't give them a damn pat on the back
I'm no doctor but I believe its generally a breach of privacy to talk to patients about medical stuff in a hallway instead of in some secluded area
What do you mean? A reassuring pat on the back is always a way to brake the news your 10 year old boy was hit by a car with people watching and completely exposed to the walk off and get a bag of chips from the vending machine for a job well done. (Like the director and writers could have just did their research or just asked a actual doctor (like yourself) how the process would go and not just pat john travolta in the back, no I guess not)
"So that's the father there, you know he's a mob boss?"
"Yeah, I'll just tell him his son is dead as I'm passing him in the corridor, I'll put my hands on him as well, he'll like that."

This movie has 61 credited producers on IMDB
Holy fuck!!! You weren't joking XD
I'm just really shook that this is true
Is there a movie with just one single Producer? Not a single executive... just one producer? Is it possible?
I think ironically this movie about a money laundering extortionist was a front for money laundering and extortion
And by 61 credited producers, IMDb means 61 decorated members of the Italian mob.
Using food in these movies is perfectly explained in goodfellas when tommy, jimmy, and henry show up at tommy's mother's house after clipping billy batts. Its like 3 am and she still makes an entire meal and they sit down, eat, talk, laugh and all the while there is a body in the trunk. And it is arguably the most memorable scene in the whole movie
That's one of my favorite parts of the movie.
Don't forget Tommy's moms painting. One dog looks this way, the other looks that way. It's a good painting
2nd or 3rd most memorable. #1 is Tommy getting made...into a corpse.

Watch the Armand Asante version - much better film (despite being made for tv).
Scorsese would've just quit movies altogether. Not just making them... ever watching a movie again. In a theatre, on a plane during a coast-to-coast flight, or even on an iPhone.
@@steves1015 it was an HBO movie soo much better in my opinion
My dad actually had met/seen the real John Gotti before he passed. He was doing research for law school and got to visit the prison he was at in Illinois. The guard asked my dad if he knew who he was, he didn't. The guard gave a simple reply "that's John Gotti" and that was it.

i love how the piece of music you played over the patreon credits wasn't even remotely Italian. Nice touch
Did Gotti kill h--
Most likely.
Dude I'm being serious, it's rumored that the guy who killed Gotti's son was sawed in half with a chainsaw.
I was told that he wasn't riding around in a Tricylce, but speeding along in a Mini-bike and it was not the driver's fault.
HoldenNY22 Yes, if you watch the HBO production ‘Gotti’ with Armand Assante which was released back in 1996, you’ll see that his son was riding a gas powered ‘mini bike’ when he was hit by the car, and not a regular bicycle. Him riding the mini bike is really a true story. If you haven’t watched the production with Armand Assante, then you really should because it blows this garbage production with Travolta out of the water, and many times over! The Gotti movie from ‘96 was done so extremely well, and it’s too bad that it was just an HBO release, because had it been in theaters, then it would have definitely been a box office hit during that time!

You made a very good point about the food. Food and cooking is a very important part of Italian American culture. Any time theres a family get together, theres food everywhere and your grandmother, aunts, uncles, and every other person in the building wont be happy until youve eaten so much you think you might actually die. Not having any food scenes in any film about an italian family is going to make it feel off.
Ralph is Italian himself, so he probably gets it.

I can already see it now.
"Remember in my review of the Tom Cruise Mummy when I said the DC franchise was close to dying? Apparently, Warner Bros. took that as a challenge because they released this movie. And it made over $1 billion. It's now the highest grossing movie based on a DC property of all time, a record previously held by The Dark Knight Rises. You heard right, folks. Aquaman - fucking Aquaman - made more money than the goddamn Batman. Shows us for laughing at Aquaman, huh? Well, joke's on you, Warner Bros. We're still laughing cuz the Aquaman movie is a fucking mess. Actually, I do have to give some respect to Warner Bros. Of all the shared universes competing with Marvel, DC has had the most success. Financially speaking, at least. The movies aren't exactly, you know, good. But while I do think Aquaman is a terrible movie, I get why some people might like it. I can respect the movie for embracing its over the top nature. It feels like a Saturday morning cartoon that was given a bigger budget than it knew what to do with. And despite all the inconsistencies in tone and writing, I admit the movie would be a whole lot worse if it played everything completely straight. So it seems DC and Warner Bros. might be on the right path after their godawful Justice League movie. Aquaman was at least not nearly as boring and wasn't plagued with production problems. And that Shazam movie is actually really good, like, unironically. But we're not talking about Shazam now, so let's talk some more about Aquaman..."

My pulse starts to race every time I watch that scene from Goodfellas where Karen is yelling at Henry and throwing his contraband at him, like the same kind of discomfort you feel when you see a couple having a bad fight in public. Nothing in Gotti elicits that.
