Jurassic Park was pretty cool I liked the one dinosaur that hissed and spit on people

Andy Garcia's family in the movie was based on the bonannos. In real life the Uva's robbed Gambino and Bonnano social clubs. We see Gravano in the movie list Gambino social clubs so the other family social clubs that were robbed had to be the Bonannos. In the trailer of the movie they say the list of made members that the characters steal is of the Bonnano family but in the movie its changed and the list is of some made up family name. Not sure if Andy Garcia's character was based off Joe Bonnano himself as they mention his son was part of his crime family (like Bonnano had involved his sons) and eventually gotten killed (maybe a reference to Don Corleone and Sonny?)

I understand all that. I was just making a joke. Because even though it was "fact based," it was 90 percent bullshit.

As far as Joe and Bill Bonanno, they were waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of the picture by 1992 smile .

A friend of mine lived in the Uva's neighborhood n told me about their story. The movie is entertaining. Like most wiseguy flicks it's about 90% bs.
I was watching the directors commentary on this movie n he was saying that he did NOT want to base Andy Garcia's character on any mob figure.
I like how Tommy's character messed up Vinny Gorgeous's hair that was classic. To see the neighborhood wise guys being robbed by a "wannabe gangster" was pretty funny to say the least...

I had great hopes for this movie. Maybe my expectations were to high. At any rate, I began reading while watching the movie.

The movie was okay I guess. The filming was good and it looked realistic other than some other chessy mob movies out there. Other than that the Uva's in the movie really iritated me for some reason because they where dumb as shit the whole time in the movie, and it really irked me lol.
