I think DeNiro and Keitel did a little tribute to their Mean Street banter in Irishman. When Bruno asks Sheeran if he knows who else owns a piece of the laundry service and Sheeran says he doesn't know, then Bruno says he does. Sheeran says something like "oh, you know who?" and Bruno replies, "No, I do, as in I own the place". lol. That was right out of Mean Streets. Actually reminded of the "we're both staring the same direction" line.


"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
