Henry Hill got a half million payday for his contribution to the movie Good Fellas and considering all the millions that went through his hands as a career criminal and had a long life and died outside prison I would say in this particular instance crime did pay.
Dennis McClain The truth is Hill did make a half million. The I.R.S. took most of it He lived in Omaha, on $15.00.00 a month + his drug connections. His drug connections dried up somewhat because he was in the program. He was arrested 6 times for driving under the influence and kicked out of the program, after 2 years.

After his time in the mob ended Henry was just left to spend his time living in the past and drifting around like a ghost ship of old memories. He was a sad figure. He had intelligence and charm but chose the wrong path.
Couldn’t agree with you more, if I remembered correctly died from alcoholism. I still don’t understand why so many people glorify guys like this. I have met several gangsters and I wasn’t impressed at all they were so miserable. I used to ask why would you choose the lifestyle- almost all of them said basically the same thing, money, power, fame, broads etc… every single thing in life that is short term. The richest man in the history of the world ; king Solomon said at the end of his life ; vanity, vanity, vanity it is all just Vanity.

Henry used the expression, "happy, joyous and free". I've heard this all the time at NA and AA meetings. It promised that if you're lucky enought to beat addiction,byou will be, happy, joyous and free of whatever vice you had that brought you down. It's so true because I've experienced the feeling of sobriety and that word sobriety is not just about alcohol. I believe him when he said that and I'm happy he made it out. We're all gonna die from something someday. Alcohol was his way. Resting in Paradise Henry. Good for you from a friend who grew up in Bensonhurst Brooklyn and being Italian and Irish.💖💞💕
Amen. I was noticeing his AA hat.... As a cpl commented on how alcohol took him out....i could be wrong lolol im in aa myself. Spot that symbol from miles away. We still have that saying. Lol 😎✌
@@mc.fancy.soul.5357 The AA on the hat is the symbol for the army 82nd Airborne Division, which he was in when he was in the army, but maybe he wore it as a double meaning or something
Henry felt immense guilt for some of his crimes. He couldn't forget them. Not to say he was a good man, but he certainly spent many years remembering the moments. There are thousands of CEO's and Politicians who have created far more pain and harm and walk around upright and arrogant.
I have to agree I knew him and Karen in Redmond Wa we sat up one night before the book came out and everything he said, was in the book wiseguy then the movie. He's a thief a liar but a likable one and he did have a conscious .
Gko Gko well I'll say it! I think Henry was good at heart and very, very young, he became a product of his environment. It takes a village and Henry's village was controlled by the mob so, small wonder. I too grew up in a mob neighborhood where Gravano held court and it was great. All good men protecting our once beautiful neighborhood which is now over run with Chinese and Mexicans. This NEVER would have happened in Bensonhurst Brooklyn while the Goodfellas we're still there. I loved my italian neighborhood and it's legacy. Proud, Irish Italian girl still in Brooklyn, 2019!!!
I feel Henry Hill's pain with the learning disabilities I didn't learn how to read real well until I was in my late twenties i was always called dumb and slow so I developed a temper at a really young age fighting had always came natural to me but I'm glad I took it in a good direction and became professional fighter and Union ironworker and union carpenter journeyman
I met Henry in Palm Springs years ago when I was dating a beautiful Italian woman. We had a few drinks at the bar together while his bodyguard watched on in trepidation. He knew where her family was from in Italy just by her last name. Nice guy, great stories.
He exaggerated his position....... He wasn't tough enough or big enough to be the tough guy he presents in the film...... He was a glorified gofor with access to a lot of levels in the mob..... And with RICO.... bingo, the FBI could prosecute on his evidence.......
@@terencethomas7599 Im pretty sure everyone knows he wasn't higher up and he wasn't a made guy. They had to do that for film purposes. They can't have the real stories being shown. Nobody would watch it.
It's scary to think of all the evil Henry seen in his life, Then to be sitting there knowing all those guys he mentioned were either dead or want him dead.
They all dead or doin Life behind bars he would of been locked up for life or dead himself if he didn't get out wen he did he knew his number was up so good for him for getting out.
This is the absolute best interview I've seen of this man I thoroughly enjoyed it I really experienced is life I understand why I did what he did in a f*****-up childhood did what he had to do he was a product of his environment rest in peace N peace Henry Hill
i can relate with henry on Society not being able to spot a legitimate learning disorder. I remember when I was a kid in school, ADHD was nothing that a good ass whooping couldn't fix. or so they would say.
Was still that way even in the 90s. My buddy used to get yelled at constantly. Used to think man your parents are a holes. We would be watching ace ventura and he couldn't control his laughter and he would get yelled at for laughing. Like come on a kid gets screamed at for laughing at a funny movie.
Irish Italian American and Dago is a racial slur, just like blacks calling themselves niggas. This guy up there disgracing Italians as one himself he claims is a wigga.
I grew up in the old Hell's kitchen next to Hudsonview Terrace late 70s and 80s and for as long as these guys ran loose they stayed relatively out of view. The Westies were around till the late 80s prob but if you were normal working class guy or gal you rarely heard of them except occasionally seeing them in pubs. If you didn't step on they're toes or get in they're pockets were like ghost. James Coonan did buy me a couple drinks once at the Landmark when I was 16 that I greatly appreciated tho.
Pretty cool to meet Jimmy Coonan - and what were you doing in a bar at age 16? I used to hang out in bars when I was 16, but I already had a beard and the drinking age in NJ was 18. Those we good times compared to today.
After he was busted the first time his great friend gave him heroin to wholesale while he was out on parole and was still being pursued for his role in the Lufthansa heist. Huge international airlines don't really mind when you steal millions from them especially when everyone knows who did it. Insurance companies love paying off on big claims for theft. Sure, right. These guys might as well have worn signs - Please put me under surveillance, tap my phone, and turn up the heat on me since all my buddies are getting whacked. The ultimate act of total ignorance, betrayal, greed, and self-destruction. Henry is EXTREMLY lucky to be alive considering the psychos he was hanging around with. Some of them were just killing random people for fun. If this is organized crime, I'd hate to see disorganized crime.
Disorganised crime? Bloods crips stupid chicago kids shooting eachother just cause someone posted something stupid on facebook SMFH! not for nothing but it was better when the mafia ran everything!! There was order in the streets and everything was very organised they only killed eachother anyways but had things in control and in order!!
The Italian mafia has been on a steady decline since the 90s and have been replaced by Mexican cartels, Dominican distributors for the Mexican cartels and other Latin American crime organizations like ms 13. Had he snitched like he did in the 60s or 70s they would have been able to get to him for sure
major respect to henry, rip bro. he seemed like he had ptsd like a war veteran, he definitely saw some shit that bothered him a lot and that's probably why he used drugs/drank.
why cant this be 10 hours long? i wish someone sat down with henry for a week, filmed him a few hours a day, and just had him tell EVERYTHING that he can remember (in a timeline order). i wanna hear him just GO
Ron if you ever worked around people who chose the life- as they call it. I am fairly certain that you wouldn’t glorify or want to hear the disgusting things that they say. I have worked with several gangsters, I’ve heard every story in the book. It isn’t glamorous, they are monsters preying on society- to rob, beat, intimate with force, use murder as a message, force drug addiction on women to turn them into prostitutes . If any of the those things happened to a family member of yours I am pretty sure your opinion would drastically change.
It's painful listening to the people conducting the interview. I can see in Henry's face he realizes quickly they do not know anything and didn't do their homework. Goodfella's was a movie, a great one, this is a real person looking to tell you real information and they did not do their homework.
Thank you @ToddH76 for having the insight and understanding to see the emotional reaction, as well as catching Hill’s realization; then let-down. I appreciate your posting this. Although surrounded by novices, Hill remained thoroughly polite and accommodating. May the soul of the boy who was failed by the US system, and the soul of the man who continued on earning in the trade he apprenticed in as a youth (to provide for his family) - forever Rest In Peace ☮️
@@bennycostello2472 he also was targeted to get whacked because he knew everything about the Lufthansa heist and Paul wanted him gone for that more than anything else.
It amazes me that even though Henry outlived his accomplices, no one affected by his betrayal in the family they were associated with or even the families they had tried to snuff him out. Even at an old age retribution is retribution and I guess revenge can be a dish that is best served cold but in his case the dish grew moldy and was discarded instead of him. I feel for his kids and family as they now have to live in his dark shadow left even though he "cleaned his act up". RIP Henry.
Yes, they did. When Henry first went into Witness Protection, he had to leave Omaha, NE because a contract killer found him and was coming for him. It was said that the killer missed him by less than a day.
@@djamo1969That's overblown nonsense. In reality, the FBI found that Henry's location may have been exposed (because of his own mouth) and that the information may have made it back to New York. By automatic practice in situations like that, the automatic procedure was to immediately move him to be overly careful. Apart from that, everything else is nonsense. There was no big bad hit man who was one or two days away and there was no Intel that the mob had actually sent anyone. After the Wiseguy book and Goodfellas film exploded, Henry was desperate to make more money so he started fabricating things in interviews and allowed ghost writers to write other sequel books in his name where they took half truths and made them 100 times bigger so they could sell more books.
@@Lalvon_Zelpharr no there is more, if you watch howard stern talking about henry hills death (henry went on a few times) and some guy calls in amd explains why they didnt whack him
30:05 ... "that was a lot of money, $25 grand a week, back then ..." "Back then ..." I think I might be able to survive on that now, it'd be rough though.
Yeah I'm not buying that Henry never killed anybody. But since that's the one crime that the Feds (claim) they can never give immunity for, I think Henry left out a few stories. No way all those stone cold killers ever trusted Henry around them if they didn't have some murders on him.
The Godfather is a horrible movie never been able to finish it tbh. Goodfellas had something Donnie didn't......the characters were extremely likeable..... basically Antiheros that you rooted for.
@@phoradio1277Short attention span for Godfather? I admit they are long movies, but I watched all of them in their entirety. GF II is the best out of the three.
At least Hill has respect for the guys in the Marshal Service and other Gov. that protected him while in Witness Protection. Those guys risked their lives to protect this moron, it was nice to hear him show some respect.
Henry Hill was not a made man and neither did he take the oath when he would keep his mouth shut if something happened so why I get mad at him for self-preservation because as we know that is the first law of nature and the mafia shouldn't be upset with him but the ones who accepted him and and let him know all their business sometimes people can destroy themselves by the things they do and from within
They did it because they got a paycheck, not out of their kindness of their heart. No one is owed thanks or gratitude for doing the job they're paid to do. If they weren't comfortable risking their lives, they could always go flip a burger or push a broom.
@@silversnail1413 Well...they might also believe in what they're doing. They might put in their best effort to protect people(which by most accounts, they do), because they hope that the witness they're protecting will bring down the criminal organizations that plagued the country. Surely there's a lot more to a job than "because they get paid to do it." People generally don't become US Marshalls, policemen, FBI agents, etc for the paycheck.
That place was very popular for mob murders. Usually they had plastic covering the floor and woold clip their target from behind as they led him to the room. Then theyd proceed to dismember the body
Funny Al Pacino was suppose to play Jimmy Conway in the film. But for some reason he said no So Robert Deniro was cast instead. Al Pacino would later say it was his worst career decision he has ever made in turning down that role.
cripplehawk if I recall correctly he turned it down because he was wanting to chill on the always acting as a gangster. He didn't want to make it his typecast. Funny enough Godfather III came out a few months after.

Seeing as how he got a degree in prison, I'd say he's not stupid (discounting the whole getting-involved-with-mafia thing). I'm thinking there's something to it when he says they didn't understand dyslexia and ADHD when he was a child.
Henry Hill did the right thing he informed on the lot of them and like he says there is NO CODE amongst criminals thats just B.S he outlived them all and good for him at least he had a life after the mob .
chrishaz1122 No...there will never be another person who lived the same life style in the same circumstances as Henry Hill, u tool...stop living in the world of D'uh!
chrishaz1122 Different era with a different set of rules. Wiseguys like Henry Hill got the best seats at restaurants and easy time when they went to jail. The rackets were different back then, now it's all about selling drugs. It was the "golden age" for wiseguys and that will never come back. But you are right, he was a thug and a rat and there are plenty of those around.
Henry was maybe not as involved in the mob as he let's on but he was in there to be sure and knew enough about their operations and murders to make him a liability. He was in on a huge score that netted they say over five million. No doubt that score impressed all the families. Hard to believe with all the millions that went through these guys hands that they never hid anything away just incase they had to disappear one day rather than rattling out everyone else.
I can listen to Hendry forever, so I'm going to find him on stern after this. Actually I seen him in Vegas at a stern show by himself, he was wearing a leather jacket.

Well Jimmy Burke was born Jimmy Conway. The last foster family family that took him in that didn't sexually or physically abuse him, was the Burkes. Becsuse they treated him like a son, he took their last name. Martin Scorsese decided to use his true birth name for the movie.
This man drank himself to death, because he was upset about what he had done in his life. Do you think Jimmy or Tommy worried about the things they did???? R.I.P. my friend
When he said "tell me a bit about your back ground" I expected Henry to say "ever since I can remember I've always wanted to be a gangster." :( He didn't do it..
I see that Henry is wearing an Airborne cap. He served in the army just prior to the Vietnam debacle. I ve seen pics of him in a cook's uniform. Back in those days, every able bodied male was subject the draft. Henry had problems in the military, but I he did receive an honorable discharge. RIP Henry Hill, airborne vet.
There was a guy out front of the hotel selling hats for 2 bucks, the interviewer suggested he wear a hat, his hair was messy, so that's how he got that hat
I've drank and talked with Henry a few times before he passed and what a subject to study on Cosa Nostra, demons, 70's etc. I've heard most of his script like we see in the interviews, but what amazes me is in person he had the same hesitation when Theresa Ferrera came up. I think he had a thing for Tommy's ex, the same beats of breath and changes of subject. He laughs a lot off but watch him change for that moment. That was one hit that hit him badly.
I don't know how they could have made a censored version. I have been accused of using so much vile language and I can identify with him in many respects. My folks were so honest....... and my mom would say you can't trust people who leave so many tips and treats and pay for everything - really my whole family was like that ------Thank God.
They should really play some of these interviews in schools these days, seeing how a lot of kids and students want to get involved in criminal activity. Let a former mobster tell them to stay the hell away from that life and explain what really happens.
ImJustKJ what’s an old head? And I can’t figure out what I said has anything to do with the 90s? If you think they don’t have gangster rap anymore just search
He only ratted because the feds played tapes with Burke and Vario saying they was going to whack him because he was on junk all the time and was then unpredictable, they thought he needed to go, he heard them saying it, then he knew he was dead if he went back to the Streets, those guys was gonna kill him so he decided to not do them any favours
@@madhatterpahineh6710 wow dude that sound so cool from a keyboard, You’re so right! Because voices can’t sound similar unless crimes are committed with them!
At around the 35 and change minute mark, the old Henry wise guy starts coming out. Talking about his kids could have and would have been waked. His whole look and demeanor change into a very serious look .
Unlike so many men who were involved in murder for the Mafia i think Henry actually felt bad about his role in it all. RIP Henry no wonder you drank so much.
no wonder, just think of all the stuff he's been through. Hill wasn't a psychopath, so whatever he did traumatised him. In fact PTSD is often worst from the stuff you do to others, so Hill had to have some proper Trauma that needed constant bottling up. He wasn't like, Jimmy, Paulie or Tommy... they were psychos.
So he was in the 82nd airborne thats pretty impressive actually. I highly doubt Henry was that glamorous as Ray Liota was in good fellas, I find that hard to believe, the only way he was going in thru the kitchen was if he worked there. He said Ray nailed it, LMAO yeah right. But I like Henry he had a rough life.
I lived in his neighborhood. He was a half assed wiseguy at that. I love and am friends with Marty and think he directs in such an artful fashion, Goodfellas is great. But Henry Hill wasn't a full Italian so he couldn't even be a skipper or made man. He was the guy you would do shit you didnt want to. And im suprised to the day how he got away with dumping a body on the L.I.E. (long island expressway) and the police put lots of effort into finding who. We knew lol. It was a guy who needed to be sat down. A troublemaker. lots of friends of mine didn't like him much lol.

Henry used the expression, "happy, joyous and free". I've heard this all the time at NA and AA meetings. It promised that if you're lucky enought to beat addiction,byou will be, happy, joyous and free of whatever vice you had that brought you down. It's so true because I've experienced the feeling of sobriety and that word sobriety is not just about alcohol. I believe him when he said that and I'm happy he made it out. We're all gonna die from something someday. Alcohol was his way. Resting in Paradise Henry. Good for you from a friend who grew up in Bensonhurst Brooklyn and being Italian and Irish.💖💞💕
Amen. I was noticeing his AA hat.... As a cpl commented on how alcohol took him out....i could be wrong lolol im in aa myself. Spot that symbol from miles away. We still have that saying. Lol 😎✌
@@mc.fancy.soul.5357 The AA on the hat is the symbol for the army 82nd Airborne Division, which he was in when he was in the army, but maybe he wore it as a double meaning or something
@@mc.fancy.soul.5357 Dude that is the 82nd Airborne, not AA. LOL
Henry felt immense guilt for some of his crimes. He couldn't forget them. Not to say he was a good man, but he certainly spent many years remembering the moments. There are thousands of CEO's and Politicians who have created far more pain and harm and walk around upright and arrogant.
You're not wrong. Henry Kissinger springs to mind.
I have to agree I knew him and Karen in Redmond Wa we sat up one night before the book came out and everything he said, was in the book wiseguy then the movie. He's a thief a liar but a likable one and he did have a conscious .
Fuckin liberals.
Gko Gko well I'll say it! I think Henry was good at heart and very, very young, he became a product of his environment. It takes a village and Henry's village was controlled by the mob so, small wonder. I too grew up in a mob neighborhood where Gravano held court and it was great. All good men protecting our once beautiful neighborhood which is now over run with Chinese and Mexicans. This NEVER would have happened in Bensonhurst Brooklyn while the Goodfellas we're still there. I loved my italian neighborhood and it's legacy. Proud, Irish Italian girl still in Brooklyn, 2019!!!
Absolutely rite ✍️
that’s terrifying that jimmy wanted henry to meet him at the gemini lounge! that was roy demeos fucking demonic, mafia slaughter house
Gimini method definition:dismembering a body with hacksaws putting them in bags and putting the bags in the freezer
That was the first I heard that from Hill. The Gemini was a death sentence for most poeple!
Don’t forget the Gemini twins
exactly the mere mention of The Gemini Lounge would send my prophetic ass running in the opposite direction ☹️
Why wasn’t he ever whacked? Sounds like the people he fingered or their kids would off him.
I feel Henry Hill's pain with the learning disabilities I didn't learn how to read real well until I was in my late twenties i was always called dumb and slow so I developed a temper at a really young age fighting had always came natural to me but I'm glad I took it in a good direction and became professional fighter and Union ironworker and union carpenter journeyman
Very nice
Good on you for beating those who bet against you :)
Forgettaboutit... great comment
That was the most intriguing interview, ever! Loved it.
I met Henry in Palm Springs years ago when I was dating a beautiful Italian woman. We had a few drinks at the bar together while his bodyguard watched on in trepidation. He knew where her family was from in Italy just by her last name. Nice guy, great stories.
He's been dead since 2012 lying ass
just by her last name? false. i have a famous italian beer and a city in Sicilia that holds my last name. no one would give a shit bro
@@GuidoLuzzi who gives a sh!t about your opinion?
He exaggerated his position....... He wasn't tough enough or big enough to be the tough guy he presents in the film...... He was a glorified gofor with access to a lot of levels in the mob..... And with RICO.... bingo, the FBI could prosecute on his evidence.......
@@terencethomas7599 Im pretty sure everyone knows he wasn't higher up and he wasn't a made guy. They had to do that for film purposes. They can't have the real stories being shown. Nobody would watch it.
It's scary to think of all the evil Henry seen in his life, Then to be sitting there knowing all those guys he mentioned were either dead or want him dead.
They all dead or doin Life behind bars he would of been locked up for life or dead himself if he didn't get out wen he did he knew his number was up so good for him for getting out.
He didn't just see it, he was as evil as anything he witnessed, and don't be fooled because he took part in it too.
Yes. He was no good. Once in the streets. Licking your lips. It's over. Believe me. I've been there so glad I got out in my mid20s

i can relate with henry on Society not being able to spot a legitimate learning disorder. I remember when I was a kid in school, ADHD was nothing that a good ass whooping couldn't fix. or so they would say.
Was still that way even in the 90s. My buddy used to get yelled at constantly. Used to think man your parents are a holes. We would be watching ace ventura and he couldn't control his laughter and he would get yelled at for laughing. Like come on a kid gets screamed at for laughing at a funny movie.

@@leemoore9933 he never liked him
I think it's brilliant how he expresses himself his hands tell the story
It's tough growing up in a big family
He's Italian
Irish Italian American and Dago is a racial slur, just like blacks calling themselves niggas. This guy up there disgracing Italians as one himself he claims is a wigga.
I grew up in the old Hell's kitchen next to Hudsonview Terrace late 70s and 80s and for as long as these guys ran loose they stayed relatively out of view. The Westies were around till the late 80s prob but if you were normal working class guy or gal you rarely heard of them except occasionally seeing them in pubs. If you didn't step on they're toes or get in they're pockets were like ghost. James Coonan did buy me a couple drinks once at the Landmark when I was 16 that I greatly appreciated tho.
Pretty cool to meet Jimmy Coonan - and what were you doing in a bar at age 16? I used to hang out in bars when I was 16, but I already had a beard and the drinking age in NJ was 18. Those we good times compared to today.
My grandparents were from Hells Kitchen. I’ve heard some stories…..
After he was busted the first time his great friend gave him heroin to wholesale while he was out on parole and was still being pursued for his role in the Lufthansa heist. Huge international airlines don't really mind when you steal millions from them especially when everyone knows who did it. Insurance companies love paying off on big claims for theft. Sure, right. These guys might as well have worn signs - Please put me under surveillance, tap my phone, and turn up the heat on me since all my buddies are getting whacked. The ultimate act of total ignorance, betrayal, greed, and self-destruction. Henry is EXTREMLY lucky to be alive considering the psychos he was hanging around with. Some of them were just killing random people for fun. If this is organized crime, I'd hate to see disorganized crime.
To be fair, if they hadn't been such fuckups, we would have had a great movie about how a bunch of fuckups managed to fuck everything up.
You sound like a fucking square.
Disorganised crime? Bloods crips stupid chicago kids shooting eachother just cause someone posted something stupid on facebook SMFH! not for nothing but it was better when the mafia ran everything!! There was order in the streets and everything was very organised they only killed eachother anyways but had things in control and in order!!

Good for him for surviving all those years.
I used to enjoy hearing him on Howard Stern’s radio show.
Everyone used to enjoy Howard Stern
The Italian mafia has been on a steady decline since the 90s and have been replaced by Mexican cartels, Dominican distributors for the Mexican cartels and other Latin American crime organizations like ms 13.

2) a movie

Ron if you ever worked around people who chose the life- as they call it. I am fairly certain that you wouldn’t glorify or want to hear the disgusting things that they say. I have worked with several gangsters, I’ve heard every story in the book. It isn’t glamorous, they are monsters preying on society- to rob, beat, intimate with force, use murder as a message, force drug addiction on women to turn them into prostitutes . If any of the those things happened to a family member of yours I am pretty sure your opinion would drastically change.
@@westham118 yeah the wiseguy book is really good
Count how many times he says "you know" in the interview.

@@JGD185 if they’re smart? Bottom of a river
It's painful listening to the people conducting the interview. I can see in Henry's face he realizes quickly they do not know anything and didn't do their homework. Goodfella's was a movie, a great one, this is a real person looking to tell you real information and they did not do their homework.
Thank you @ToddH76 for having the insight and understanding to see the emotional reaction, as well as catching Hill’s realization; then let-down. I appreciate your posting this. Although surrounded by novices, Hill remained thoroughly polite and accommodating.

It amazes me that even though Henry outlived his accomplices, no one affected by his betrayal in the family they were associated with or even the families they had tried to snuff him out. Even at an old age retribution is retribution and I guess revenge can be a dish that is best served cold but in his case the dish grew moldy and was discarded instead of him. I feel for his kids and family as they now have to live in his dark shadow left even though he "cleaned his act up". RIP Henry.
Yes, they did. When Henry first went into Witness Protection, he had to leave Omaha, NE because a contract killer found him and was coming for him. It was said that the killer missed him by less than a day.
Henry had RICO to thank for that
@@djamo1969That's overblown nonsense. In reality, the FBI found that Henry's location may have been exposed (because of his own mouth) and that the information may have made it back to New York. By automatic practice in situations like that, the automatic procedure was to immediately move him to be overly careful. Apart from that, everything else is nonsense. There was no big bad hit man who was one or two days away and there was no Intel that the mob had actually sent anyone. After the Wiseguy book and Goodfellas film exploded, Henry was desperate to make more money so he started fabricating things in interviews and allowed ghost writers to write other sequel books in his name where they took half truths and made them 100 times bigger so they could sell more books.
I'm glad he outlived everyone, I'm glad he had breathing space for a few years

Yeah I'm not buying that Henry never killed anybody. But since that's the one crime that the Feds (claim) they can never give immunity for, I think Henry left out a few stories. No way all those stone cold killers ever trusted Henry around them if they didn't have some murders on him.
The more he tells his story the more you realize hollywood made goodfellas not henry hill
It wasn't just about Henry and it's perfect. What you want is a documentary.
Hell of a cast, writer and director, reality would of always sucked in comparison

@@phoradio1277Short attention span for Godfather? I admit they are long movies, but I watched all of them in their entirety. GF II is the best out of the three.
At least Hill has respect for the guys in the Marshal Service and other Gov. that protected him while in Witness Protection. Those guys risked their lives to protect this moron, it was nice to hear him show some respect.
Henry Hill was not a made man and neither did he take the oath when he would keep his mouth shut if something happened so why I get mad at him for self-preservation because as we know that is the first law of nature and the mafia shouldn't be upset with him but the ones who accepted him and and let him know all their business sometimes people can destroy themselves by the things they do and from within
Yea at least he was a complete rat. no wonder his friends wanted to kill him🤣
They did it because they got a paycheck, not out of their kindness of their heart. No one is owed thanks or gratitude for doing the job they're paid to do. If they weren't comfortable risking their lives, they could always go flip a burger or push a broom.
@@silversnail1413 STFU. You have no clue. You are essentially clueless
@@silversnail1413 Well...they might also believe in what they're doing. They might put in their best effort to protect people(which by most accounts, they do), because they hope that the witness they're protecting will bring down the criminal organizations that plagued the country. Surely there's a lot more to a job than "because they get paid to do it." People generally don't become US Marshalls, policemen, FBI agents, etc for the paycheck.
Lol so Jimmy was supposed to meet Henry at the Gemini Lounge? That would've ended up VERY badly
blackman26 would've been a horror show, wouldn't wanna be anywhere near there
Lucky he didnt Roy DeMeo would have got him
That place was very popular for mob murders. Usually they had plastic covering the floor and woold clip their target from behind as they led him to the room. Then theyd proceed to dismember the body
Marshall Byrne Henry would have got two in the hat, his body would be drained of its blood and chopped up.
Funny how Ray Liotta played both Henry Hill and Roy De Meo.
he sounds just like al pacino
Funny Al Pacino was suppose to play Jimmy Conway in the film. But for some reason he said no So Robert Deniro was cast instead. Al Pacino would later say it was his worst career decision he has ever made in turning down that role.
cripplehawk Im glad he turned it down, De niro did such a great job
Jimmy Conway??
cripplehawk if I recall correctly he turned it down because he was wanting to chill on the always acting as a gangster. He didn't want to make it his typecast. Funny enough Godfather III came out a few months after.
Except he was Fredo.

Matt Beeman henry got a degree when he was in jail he got made fun of for carrying books
Seeing as how he got a degree in prison, I'd say he's not stupid (discounting the whole getting-involved-with-mafia thing). I'm thinking there's something to it when he says they didn't understand dyslexia and ADHD when he was a child.
Henry Hill did the right thing he informed on the lot of them and like he says there is NO CODE amongst criminals thats just B.S he outlived them all and good for him at least he had a life after the mob .

chrishaz1122 Different era with a different set of rules. Wiseguys like Henry Hill got the best seats at restaurants and easy time when they went to jail. The rackets were different back then, now it's all about selling drugs. It was the "golden age" for wiseguys and that will never come back. But you are right, he was a thug and a rat and there are plenty of those around.
more the 50s then
Henry was maybe not as involved in the mob as he let's on but he was in there to be sure and knew enough about their operations and murders to make him a liability.
He was in on a huge score that netted they say over five million.
No doubt that score impressed all the families.
Hard to believe with all the millions that went through these guys hands that they never hid anything away just incase they had to disappear one day rather than rattling out everyone else.
Didn't u watch the move jimmy Burke wouldn't pay anyone he killed him instead and got most
When FBI wants you as an informant, you're sure as hell involved in the mob, like big time.
I can listen to Hendry forever, so I'm going to find him on stern after this.
Actually I seen him in Vegas at a stern show by himself, he was wearing a leather jacket.
Henry showed me his paintings once and I told him he needed to go back to hijacking lipstick trucks.

I've drank and talked with Henry a few times before he passed and what a subject to study on Cosa Nostra, demons, 70's etc. I've heard most of his script like we see in the interviews, but what amazes me is in person he had the same hesitation when Theresa Ferrera came up. I think he had a thing for Tommy's ex, the same beats of breath and changes of subject. He laughs a lot off but watch him change for that moment. That was one hit that hit him badly.

SecondKyle well the term "gangster" is claimed by black people nowadays either way so they would look at this old nigga like what!
SecondKyle yeah but the kids want to be rap gangsters. Way different
Matthew Schwenker this isnt the 90s oldhead
ImJustKJ what’s an old head? And I can’t figure out what I said has anything to do with the 90s? If you think they don’t have gangster rap anymore just search
He only ratted because the feds played tapes with Burke and Vario saying they was going to whack him because he was on junk all the time and was then unpredictable, they thought he needed to go, he heard them saying it, then he knew he was dead if he went back to the Streets, those guys was gonna kill him so he decided to not do them any favours
After hearing that I don't blame him for becoming a informant..that's the only chance he had
Damn
When I close my eyes all I hear is Al Pacino
lol Al Pacino couldn't make a real gangster even if he was standing on a shine box.
@@madhatterpahineh6710 wow dude that sound so cool from a keyboard, You’re so right! Because voices can’t sound similar unless crimes are committed with them!
Thanks for the upload....
I was hoping to see a drawing of a shinebox. That'd be cool as hell.
At around the 35 and change minute mark, the old Henry wise guy starts coming out. Talking about his kids could have and would have been waked. His whole look and demeanor change into a very serious look .
Seems like the fear was gripping him. He didn’t think it was amusing or great
Unlike so many men who were involved in murder for the Mafia i think Henry actually felt bad about his role in it all. RIP Henry no wonder you drank so much.
I know I would be tossing back quit a few. He lived a crazy life with ups and downs.
this interview is gold. i wish hill would have lived longer i love mafia stories............
What a fucking legend,he may have ratted but still a legend but Jimmy was gonna kill the man.
Henry's wife almost got whacked too. If she stepped in to look at those dresses. Poor Karen.
@@killersaint4362 Henry > than Jimmy. Who had a good life and who died in prison? The stone cold serial killer got his in the end.
R.I.P. Henry.
well, I hope Henry found peace in death.
William Sauer He beat the Mafia but he couldn't beat the booze and cigarettes.
no wonder, just think of all the stuff he's been through. Hill wasn't a psychopath, so whatever he did traumatised him. In fact PTSD is often worst from the stuff you do to others, so Hill had to have some proper Trauma that needed constant bottling up.
He wasn't like, Jimmy, Paulie or Tommy... they were psychos.
@@Will21st negative William
Is he die? When?
looks like they filmed this in some cheap hotel room?
They shot a porn movie right after
It's a Howard Johnson Hotel, because the had a free continental breakfast
And when you put the mic down the rest of em fucked you up the ass
mharris1270 fucking hell that made me laugh 😂😂
Do they have nice hotels in Baltimore?
So he was in the 82nd airborne thats pretty impressive actually. I highly doubt Henry was that glamorous as Ray Liota was in good fellas, I find that hard to believe, the only way he was going in thru the kitchen was if he worked there. He said Ray nailed it, LMAO yeah right. But I like Henry he had a rough life.
I lived in his neighborhood. He was a half assed wiseguy at that. I love and am friends with Marty and think he directs in such an artful fashion, Goodfellas is great. But Henry Hill wasn't a full Italian so he couldn't even be a skipper or made man. He was the guy you would do shit you didnt want to. And im suprised to the day how he got away with dumping a body on the L.I.E. (long island expressway) and the police put lots of effort into finding who. We knew lol. It was a guy who needed to be sat down. A troublemaker. lots of friends of mine didn't like him much lol. But he was an earner , sometimes untill he got into heroin, i think the movie shows him up on coke but he was a heroin guy.
Yeah sure….
@@chicagolineproductions2001 ok? I was just giving my 2.cents. Why would i make something up on Yt to people I don't know and won't ever meet lol. Its not strange. Long island is a bubble. Hell most of Suffolk. Nassau, queen's, and Manhattan are a bubble
Idk why i responded just had surgery for tumor.removal and am out of it. The only comment i made iirc was this one 2 years ago you reaponded too. Its hilerious.
