Butcher Bill sure "stole" that movie. The film is very historically "correct" and if all goes well I will purchase it at some point.

We had to study NYC history as kids, so I KNOW almost all of the movie with the exception of the love story was accurate.

The Discovery Channel had a special show that proved that even the gangs' names, the fire house rivalries, the woman with the long nails and Butcher Bill were authentic.
