TRIVIA SAMPLES:

“Joe Pesci's Oscar acceptance speech is the sixth shortest in the Academy's history. It was simply, "It's my privilege, thank you." He later admitted that he didn’t expect to win, which is why he kept it short.”

“Ray Liotta once mentioned that Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci were like the "glitter" of the film, while he was more like the "glue" that held everything together.”

“The film was ranked number two on the American Film Institute's list of the greatest gangster films in June 2008.”

“Initially, producer Irwin Winkler disagreed with Martin Scorsese's choice of Ray Liotta for the role of Henry Hill. Liotta convinced him in a conversation at a restaurant.”

“Robert De Niro was offered the roles of both Jimmy "The Gent" Conway and Tommy DeVito, but he chose to play Jimmy.”
