That's the movie that prompted DeNiro to reach out to Pesci for Raging Bull. Pretty well known story. Pesci told it a few times on late night television. The story goes that DeNiro saw Death Collector and reached out to Pesci when he was waiting tables at Mario's. Pesci thought it was a prank and told him to fuck off. But Pesci is a great storyteller. The way he tells the story is hysterical.

The Mafia Is Not Primarily An Organisation Of Murderers. First And Foremost,The Mafia Is Made Up Of Thieves. It Is Driven By Greed And Controlled By Fear.
