Goodfellas Movie Clip Tommy DeVito "Funny How?" 1990
Goodfellas (also styled GoodFellas) is an Academy Award winning 1990 American crime film directed by Martin Scorsese. It is based on the non-fiction book Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi, who co-wrote the screenplay with Scorsese. The film follows the rise and fall of three gangsters over the decades of the '50s, '60s, '70s, and 1980.
Henry Hill: You're a pistol, you're really funny. You're really funny.
Tommy DeVito: What do you mean I'm funny?
Henry Hill: It's funny, you know. It's a good story, it's funny, you're a funny guy.
Tommy DeVito: what do you mean, you mean the way I talk? What?
Henry Hill: It's just, you know. You're just funny, it's... funny, the way you tell the story and everything.
Tommy DeVito: Funny how? What's funny about it?
Anthony Stabile: Tommy no, You got it all wrong.
Tommy DeVito: Oh, oh, Anthony. He's a big boy, he knows what he said. What did ya say? Funny how?
Henry Hill: Jus...
Tommy DeVito: What?
Henry Hill: Just... ya know... you're funny.
Tommy DeVito: You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little fucked up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to fuckin' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?
Henry Hill: Just... you know, how you tell the story, what?
Tommy DeVito: No, no, I don't know, you said it. How do I know? You said I'm funny. How the fuck am I funny, what the fuck is so funny about me? Tell me, tell me what's funny!
Henry Hill: [long pause] Get the fuck out of here, Tommy!
Tommy DeVito: [everyone laughs] Ya motherfucker! I almost had him, I almost had him. Ya stuttering prick ya. Frankie, was he shaking? I wonder about you sometimes, Henry. You may fold under questioning.

    Apparently this scene came about because something like it happened to or around Joe Pesci in real life. They improvised it during rehearsals, then wrote a script for it, then filmed it with a couple of wide shots because Scorsese, who is a fucking genius, knew that seeing the surrounding group was as important as seeing Pesci and Liotta talk to each other. One of the greatest scenes in American cinema. Flawless acting, writing, directing, editing. Even the extras are on point.

    This scene is so brilliant.. I think Ray Liotta's performance is what really ramps up the tension. His laughing the entire time seems so forced and unnatural, from the very beginning of the scene you get the sense that something is just off. He was a very gifted actor, IMO his decision to overact this scene was very deliberate. In a way, he looks like he's being held at gunpoint (no pun intended). They're all sitting around laughing while Tommy is holding court and telling stories, typically you would expect the people in the party to look relaxed and carefree. Liotta's performance is what clues us in from the beginning that everything is not as it seems. In a way, Tommy is holding the entire group hostage emotionally. They all know he is prone to switch to extreme violence on a dime, and so the over-the-top laughing reads as a desperate attempt to placate to him. Man. They just don't make movies like this anymore. This is art.

    Liotta's best acting during this scene was when he didnt say a single word. At the 3:02 mark the way he changed from laughing to completey serious when the owner told Pesci that hes got an outstanding bill of $7,000. He knew publicly humiliating Tommy like this was going to come with serious consequences. Which it did.

    You are so right. I rewatched it and realized that Pesci could have shot the restaurant owner on the spot, (Liotta even said later on in the movie that guys sometimes got killed over nothing) which is maybe why Liotta , and the guy sitting next to him were so uncomfortable. If you notice, when Pesci "only" smashed a bottle on the restaurant's owner's forehead, they all laugh because they know it "won't be that big a deal". Jeez, that scene is a masterpiece.......

And since he was in Jimmy's semi independent crew, who were not heavily controlled by a major crime family, that meant they could kill anybody they wanted. Which is why they killed that wise guy, and also why tommy can pretty much get away with killing anybody, just because he could. And because he's psychotic.

He knows what he meant" The mutual respect but at the same time the understanding that Tommy is handling the situation and Anthony acknowledged and stepped back without having to threaten or raise his voice... and thats just the detail of the Tommy and Anthony interaction.

    When Pesci was young, he worked as a waiter at a restaurant. While attending a mobster, he made a compliment by saying he was “funny”, but the comment wasn’t taken well. When working on Goodfellas, Pesci shared this anecdote with Scorsese, who liked it so much he decided to add it to the film. However, he didn’t include it in the shooting script, so only Pesci and Liotta knew what was happening in the scene, and it was improvised and rehearsed by them, but kept a secret from the rest of the actors in the scene in order to catch their genuine reactions

    @@bobhenry6159 usually when they shoot scenes like these actors are allowed to improvise in a controlled scenario. Which is, partly, one of the key ways in which Scorsese based himself to direct the movie. The actors were allowed to sit for hours on the set making up stories, reading newly added script scenes. In this situation the extras were told Tommy is a very unpredictable character but that they should go along with whatever he's doing. They thought it was simply a deviation of the script, especially due to the upcoming next scene, but Pesci continued being fixated on Liotta's reaction, so everyone had to go along with it. That's why the "you're right" sounds so forced. Even, if the first phrase may sound a bit too perfect, add-libbing was also used, so they could change his words to something that could sound better. That's why everyone was so uncomfortable too, they didn't know what the hell was going, but they had to play along and pretend to be tough gangsters all of a sudden. Just like their real life characters would have done in such a situation.

    Probably old news to anybody who's a fan of the movie, but to anyone less familiar: DeVito wasn't supposed to get offended at all - in the script, his story is the entire scene. But Joe Pesci used to wait tables in a place frequented by mobsters and once went through this exact conversation. So he asked to work it into the film, and the result remains one of the most iconic dialogue scenes in movie history.

    Its funny and highlights a key aspect of the criminal lifestyle that many people may recognize but are not too familiar with is the high importance of hierarchy. In prison, saying or doing the wrong thing that may not even be intentional can get you beat up, raped or killed. However, power is everything and those that are strong enough or have the right connections can get away with play fighting without having to actually fight, a fine balance that if mishandled can embarrass someone which leads to being whacked.

    Joe Pesci has mentioned in several interviews this was inspired by a real life experience he had, except he was on the receiving side. A mobster was a regular at a bar he worked in, he was telling a story, and a young Pesci said “you’re a funny guy” and it went from there. So maybe a bit loose, but certainly not “improvised”.

    That's what "acting" is, my friend. Making up a character, coming up with a backstory for them, sometimes even a whole life. Most of which isn't ever mentioned anywhere in the movie, but the actor knows what his character is like and can act accordingly. This is why sometimes actors need some sort of warm-up and wind-down phase. Getting into character isn't something you just switch on and off like a switch, it's a process (maybe there are some very talented actors out there who can do that on a whim). I mean, acting schools are a thing for that very exact reason, and it's how we, the audience, can tell good actors from bad actors. A bad actor would look around confused, break character and ask what was going on. A good actor just goes along with whatever is happening. For example, in the movie Thor, when he throws that coffee mug on the ground and demands "another!": That scene was improvised by Chris Hemsworth. The rest of the cast (namely Natalie Portman) just went along with it. Another example: In the Columbo movies, Peter Falk as Columbo would often ask the murder suspects for a pen, or do some other antics (the infamous "Oh, just one more thing..." also was improvised when they needed a scene to be a tad bit longer in the first episode). Those weren't scripted, Falk would give the other actors a chance to act out "looking for a pen". And yet another example: In Star Trek: Voyage home, there's a scene where Checkov and Uhura run around on 1983's earth and ask for directions. The extras where told to "act naturally", so when asked where "the nuclear wessels" are, one of the extras decided to give a response. It wasn't in the script, but Koenig and Nichols didn't break character either, but just played off the response that was given. Third and final example is the movie MASH: The director wouldn't tell his cast when the cameras where rolling and also wouldn't tell them who the camera was focussing on, to get a better, more natural response out of his actors. So, there you have it. We can see lots of improv in many movies. Often times we don't even know that it was improv, because "doing improv" is part of an actor's job.

    First time I noticed how the whole dining room gets quiet very subtlety, just as the people at the table slowly start to realize how serious it's getting.

    The funny (!) thing is, this wasn't entirely improv. Joe Pesci used to be a waiter in Queens, NYC. He heard a regular customer telling a story to his friends and was laughing with them. Told him he was a funny guy etc., the diner turned out to be a made man and it played it exactly like it did in the film. When they were filming this years later he ad libbed it, but had to track down the same gangster and ask him for permission to include the scene in the film. Ray Liotta confirmed it in an interview, both actors grew up around organised crime and he'd heard the story independently.

    This scene only bits and pieces were ad-libbed. The scene where they're eating at Tommy's Mother's was 100% Ad-libbed.
