First rule of Fight Club, you do not talk about Fight Club. Second rule of Fight Club, you DO NOT talk about Fight Club. Third rule of Fight Club, when someone say "stop" or goes limp, the fight is over. Fourth rule of Fight Club, only two guys to a fight. Fifth rule of Fight Club, one fight at a time. Sixth rule of Fight Club, no shirt, no shoes. Seventh rule of Fight Club, fights go on as long as they have to. Eighth and final rule of Fight Club if this is your first night at Fight Club you have to fight.

I agree completely with Rusty about the hopelessly glossy treatment of Gotti in "Gotti." Armand Assante played him with far too much intelligence, fairness and business focus. (Tom Sizemore did a much better job as Gotti in "Witness to the Mob," which was otherwise not very good). And it was a real letdown to portray Da Bull as killing Favara with a gun, when the real-life death was more dramatic and tragic. They could just as well have done the right thing. But "Gotti" has some excellent casting, especially Anthony Quinn as Neil Dellacroce, Marc Lawrence as Carlo Gambino and Richard Sarafian as Castellano. I liked Chazz Palmentieri's portrayal of Castellano in "Castellano," but not much else. The Kurins/O'Brien book really trashes him.

Lets not get into a fight here guys, were all friends here now some people tend to love the bad guys and some people want to see them burn in hell while they listen to an adam sandler cd in a small room consisting of sinbad jokes. But to tell you the truth i love the bad guys, but i still want to see them pay their dues for the bad they have done. So am i glad hes dying? yup. Do i still admire him? Yes.

The Gambinos had two wings at the time of Carlo's death: the "white collar" group under Castellano (rackets: construction, trucking, etc.); and the "blue collar" group under Neil Dellacroce (hijacking, loan sharking, drugs). Gotti was with the latter. Under his rule, the white collar was neglected in favor of the blue collar. He and Da Bull had distain for Castellano because they regarded him as a racketeer, while they were real "gangsters." Gotti also was a degenerate gambler.
