The star of that movie Joey Cortese is some one I know knew Pesci as well.

Like them both I though Cortese would be a big star after seeing that movie. I don't know why that never happened for him.

Pesci told me while filming that movie they both had a fist fight on the set. He said he was beating the crap out of cortese until broken up. Cortese is a giant compared to Pesce but I believe that story. Never mentioned it to cortese what would be the point. Like I said they are both nice people.

I did tell the story somewhere under another name. Cortese read it and said it never happen. Then someone else said he worked on the set of that movie and that it really did happen.
Thanks for the little insight on the movie, funny story....I think that Cortese let Pesci win tho. wink
