Joe Pesci vs Frank Vincent (Goodfellas and Casino)

[ClonerJams]

Offseason thread and these are two of my favorite movies. Who had a more brutal death? Billy Bats in Goodfellas or Nicky Santoro in Casino?
Billy Bats



Nicky Santoro

 

[Althetuna]

Nicky Santoro.

(But I wouldnt want to die in any of those means.)

 

[CyCrazy]

Nicky Santoro.

Hey, Henry, Henry, hurry up, will ya? My mother's gonna make some fried peppers and sausage for us.

The Casino one.

Seeing your own brother get it then enduring that kind of violence as your last moments, in a cornfield, is disturbing.

 

[CtownCyclone]

Getting beaten to death in a corn field along with your brother and then buried in a shallow grave is pretty rough.

Nicky Santoro recouped all the karma Tommy DeVito burned in Goodfellas

 

[Mr Janny]

Nicky Santoro all day. Just brutal.

Casino is one of those movies where if I'm watching TV and see it on, I have to watch it. Doesn't matter how far in it is, I'm going to watch the rest. Godfather 1 and 2 are the same way.

 

[enisthemenace]

Nicky Santoro in a landslide. Brutal.

The real Tommy DeSimone was 6'2 220, a hell of a lot bigger than Joe Pesci who played him. But, I'm glad they casted Pesci for that role, he was awesome. Jimmy Conway was 250. Those two were probably pretty good at collections.

Throw in Billy McCarthy.. Having your head put in a vice couldn't have felt good. Ultimately these guys got what they had coming.

That vice scene is intense.

How about Frank Vincent as Phil Leotardo in the Sopranos

You're gonna meet up with a little guy, dangerous, like Joe Pesci...

The Shah of Iran

We had to take Nicky out. Along with some other people. Just to be sure. I mean, why take a chance?

Charlie M? You made me pop your eye out of your head to protect Charlie M? Do this guy a favor.
