Hoodlum, Fuk that GUY!

ohh?!!

Does anyone think there actually will b a movie made about the little scumbag,if done right, it would b a doozie..maybe martin scorseze could finance & beef it up a bit ...no?? T always thought BLOOD & Honor WOULD MAKE A GOOD FLICK..thoughts???

It may have been in the works before Phil did " Mafia Prince " and other things have been going on just this last week .

That does not mean it's a fact but many things are looking like there are talks.

It's possible that there is a follow up book but I doubt that's the reason that the people were meeting.

Never know...

"Thank God for the American Jury System..and an Honest jury" would sound perfect coming out the mouth of Joe Pesci..

I think Pesci's too old to play Scarfo, no? With make up, he'd look like a clown.He's 73 years old. Who do you think would be good Phil?

I've always thought a movie on the Scarfo era or Blood & Honor would be awesome and seriously high quality stuff if done right. I mean you don't even need to fictionalize anything the actual true story is great material in itself. I've always pictured Joe Pesce playing a good Scarfo. He is on the older side though (73 years old) so if that wasn't an option then I think Frankie Valli (played Rusty Millio in Sopranos) would be another solid option. In terms of Leonetti, I think that Michael Imperioli (also from Sopranos- played Chris Moltisanti) would be a good fit.

Joe Pesci is 73? Wow. And yeah, Frankie Valli would do great, but isn't he on the older side as well nowadays? And I agree also that Michael Imperioli can do Leonetti just fine.

I always thought the vincent falcone murder was totally unnecessary and quite indictative of scarfo's treachery.
It always seemed as though he was killed for fun as if he looked for an excuse to have his nephew commit his first murder.

I don't think that was his first ... I also think Vince and Phil did a couple that the Feds did not put out there.


Vince was no different then any of these guys .... he was a killer also ...

Frankie Valli would be good ... No doubt Pesci although have not seen him in years.

It's amazing the movie would do great if done top notch ... The American people greet Nick as if he was Al Capone !!!

They also could film in Ducktown , just as long as they kick all the Mexicans out and hire Italian actors. Angeloni's, Angelo's, White House, etc are all still in the neighborhood and the distinct neighborhood houses are all still in tact....

Couple of the old Italian bakeries are still there also the meat market at the corner is still the same building but different folks .

Bass Pro shop is where several old bars we used to go to and Skinnys 500 club is where there paring lot is now , but yea they could get away with it .

Vagabond is the old Teddy's but the building is same ...

Sure Phil will fill them in for a small fee !!!

Start the movie in prison with the Pesci or Valli playing the current day Scarfo looking back on his soon to be ending life. Then go back with a younger actor playing the younger Scarfo.

The perfect young Nick sr would be a younger " Martin Sheen "


And on a dark side of this if they do anything I hope they get the story right his son Mark and all the lies that have been spread about him in and around the time of his suicide .

Mark was pretty normal " well as normal as you can get growing up in that house .

The kid was a good kid but did same shit most kids do when they get a little cash or power .

Trust me he was one of the best kids I knew ( obviously had some mental torment ) but millions of kids his age have that but most get help ..

He did not have that luxury in that family !!!

You don't always have to get an actor that looks like the real thing. It worked with Jack Nicholson and The Departed. Yes it was loosely based off Whitey and another movie, but he nailed being an Irish gangster in Southie.

Always thought that myself.

If they were going to bring the Scarfo era story to screen I'd say they should make it a mini-series. Too many murders to fit into 120 minutes!

Well, Vincent Falcone wasn't Phils first murder. The Louie DeMarco hit was, Falcone participated in this murder as well, as a shooter and along with Leonetti, emptied an entire clip into DeMarco. And Falcone had been a trusted member of the Scarfo group since the early 70's, he was a wannabe just like Leonetti was, but once Nicky began to rise in the Philadelphia crime family, he felt Falcone & his best friend Alfredo Ferrara (I think thats what his last name was) were dead weight. So he planned to have Falcone kill Alfredo, as a way to separate them, as Nicky felt threatened by the two and their closeness. Alfredo ends up disappearing and isn't seen around Ducktown anymore. One night, Chuckie & Lawrence Merlino run into Falcone one night, and whose he with? None other than Alfredo Ferrara, so the Merlino's end up drinking with them and getting them wasted, and they start talking, Falcone starts to say that Scarfo is crazy and he and Leonetti have no business in the concrete business...Falcone's fate was sealed right there, as Nicky & Phil basically felt that Falcone stopped following orders and was talking submersive about Phil & his uncle.

Thats a wise choice..

Pepa Leva & the guy b4 him??

I know.. that's a trip..and the real house as well..26 N. Georgia Ave..

Serp could b technical consultant..lol..!!!

I could (am) make a great Phil Disney.

Serp, when Scarfo banished the Merlino brothers. Could they have challenged Scarfo? E.g. If Chuckie refused to step down, he had his crew. But obviously Scarfo took away his power by handing it over to Tommy del... which clipped his wings

But let's just say Chuckie refused to accept it, would his crew along with Laurence's crew/ plus young Joey (Merlino took over not too long after, so he had his young bucks at the time too) mount a defence against Scarfo. And his toughest capo Sal Testa wasn't around for obvious reasons

Scarfo was a maniac but he wasn't bullet proof either. He was usually only with the blade who was in jail by then, his nephew, and walked around with Grande and Milano brothers etc

Yogi cam up to me at the cafe at Mississippi and Atlantic ave and said Nick just knocked me down .... He was more hurt then pissed at that moment.

Later that night Phil met us and told Yogi to let it lay .

But I am sure there was some shit going on ...

At that point he'd full control and they had no shot at doing anything.

Was Phil a lil snake in this whole thing, he obviously liked or rather benefited from the situation. In his book he told Chuckie the same thing- not to come down etc

In your opinion Serp, was there ever any truth to the allegations- that Chuckie had "treason" on his mind. Faffy & Tommy D also benefited

I was not part of there business, I only herd stuff that was not damaging to them . I herd more stuff from the girls of these guys, many were neighborhood girls .

There was never a time did they talk business in front of me , stuff like Yogi that was not news back then " it was just every day life , they did not consider that stuff private .

Serp,
How was the wake???

I can see them speaking amongst each other and other guys from the neighborhood who may not have been involved in the illegal aspect of things, and how things like being "knocked down" wouldn't be considered private to them. You're speaking mostly around and too guys you've grown up with and known your whole life. I think that's plausible.

Yes they did speak freely but as soon as something like treason that would have " been "kept quiet.

As far as being knocked down that night Yogi was with five or six of us and we were drinking and shooting pool and told the news several times .

Being knocked down is the kind of news that's gets around sort of a punishment type a thing .

And that was Yogi he spoke his mind to a certain point !!
