--------
In this clip, Frank Cullotta detailed what the film 'Casino' got wrong about the murder of Tony and his brother. Cullotta explains the backstory to the actual murder and why Martin Scorsese decided to make certain changes for cinematic effect.
Later, Vlad asks Frank Cullotta about the Mob getting pushed out of Las Vegas and whether he believes any of the casinos are still operated by the Mob. - Zábava
This dudes whole mood is "am I telling the story here, or are you going to keep interrupting me?"
I peeped that too
Vlad needs to learn how to let the interviewee complete what he's explaining. He's notorious for that shit and it is annoying.
"Want me to continue?" ... that's his way of saying, I can continue if you shut the fuck up.
And that's what keeps him from being interrupted. Energy means everything ladies and gentlemen!!!
PAbcentral why you so mad bro
The scene where Joe Pesci and his brother get beat up with bats is one of the toughest scenes to watch. Billy Bats finally gets revenge from Raging Bull and Goodfellas though.
I found that scene very satisfying spilotro was an evil prick
@@Oxnaforda Tough guys you and ya fuckin' brotha!
HipHopR&BLover Jon Best line.😂
Sam & Nicky had sum legendary exchanges in that movie, like when they drove out to the desert.
Nicky: "You Jew muddaphucka!"
That and the vice scene. Dogs, dont make me do this, don't make me be a bad guy
I remember watching Casino when I was a kid, that scene really left a mental scar as a kid, like damn, the world can be brutal.
You ain't lying. That scene will have you turning on EVERY light on your way to the bathroom in the middle of the night 😅
That’s the Mob Life for you. You sign up for something & you do too much...then the Mob signs you out. The end of Nicky Santoro scene was a mental scar for me also.
@@dariusthepoetictruth5676 ong it made me GET OUT THE STREETS
@@spacekadetentertainment Lmao you're not scared of the boogyman in your closet, you're scared of a mobster in your closet.
As you're laying in bed you hear from your closet door, "Eh? You think I'm STUPID or somethin', huh? What da hell is wrong witchoo?"
NIGHTMARES
@@Veckoza 😂😂😂
Watching Joe Pesci cry while they beat his brother to death. That part's wild. As much as I live Goodfellas, I think I like Casino more mainly because there was more Joe Pesci in that one
Take notice how Pesci does his best to speak in a Chicago accent rather than NYC or Jersey.
Just wanna say . " Casino" is a classic
My favourite Scorsese film - just perfect
@@AK-74K Many may not agree, but I rate Casino over Goodfellas.
Man.....Casino is GARBAGE😂😂🤣🤣 just fuckin around....I couldn't even type that without laughing. I've yet to see a Scorcese film that wasn't epic.
@@shack7631 Casino to me has the epic Godfather like grandness that Goodfellas doesn't have
AK 74 tbh those are all classics and they are all great The Godfather trilogy and casino and goodfellas where the best.
I watched Casino with my dad when it came on PPV in 1995 and that scene absolutely sickened me (I was like 13/14). If that scene doesn't show how horrible that life is then nothing will. And Nicky was a monster too.
Lol that Life is what you make it. Follow the rules, stay loyal. Ya jagoff.
but it was Fiction they were not buried alive the Splitoro I brothers were beat then put in the Cornfield Nicky was his character name the real Splitoro was reportedly as brutal though if not more than even the movie kinda like Tommy Desimone I think Goodfellas actually toned it down a bit I googled last night and that Roy Demeo yikes a special Psychopath you have to be to decapitate and further dismember someone
That scene is kids playing playing in disneyland compared to what you see cartels do in real life.
This life is so treacherous it’s unbelievable! there’s no respect, honour or dignity. Just betrayal and greed
Exactly what I always thought, it's like they took the oath, then from that day they had a massive target on their backs where they could be killed by their enemies or their family.
Forget about it
There's no future in this life, you're living for the moment because, in the end you'll be dead in dumpster by those you trusted the most or, doing a thousand years. The second you start putting in the work you become a liability and, sooner or later liabilities do get taken care of.
@@sure2fckitupguy this is why I think history classes in 11th and 12th graders should watch Casino and actually critique and analyze the ending and how that life is horrible. You may enjoy a few years of glitz and glam but you'd never ever be able to relax and enjoy life. Michael Franzese is doing a lot of good for people now and I love that he doesn't mince words.
That's why I always laugh when these mobsters play up the honor card. What a joke. Like Joe Bonannos book, A Man of Honor. LMAO
It’s probably already been said a bunch of times but this guy reminds me a lot of Mike from Breaking bad and Better Call Saul.
1:38 gives me the chills. “It is your best friend that is going to be able to bring you to your death, not your enemy”
Or your wife😂😢
I love how abrupt Frank is with Vlad. Ask a question and let him tell it. Instead of going on a monologue yourself
I know. Vlad is fucking terrible at interviewing people. He doesnt listen to answers, he asks completely unrelated questions randomly, then goes on long boring monologues that no one wants to listen to, he will even talk over the person he's interviewing. Whenever i hear his voice i just skip ahead lol. God knows how he became such a successful interviewer.
Vlad can’t help himself 😂
"Once you hit those steps.... You're gone."
Creepy quote. Glad it's not me. Sheesh
Crazy how casino was 80-90% accurate
Hitman: "Do you want me to continue"?
Vlad: ** thinks before answering **
“Frankie, Frankie...leave the kid alone...he’s still breathin’”
"Bunch of fucking tough guys huh,"!?
@@PharoahsKingdom
You and ya who ya fuckin brother! Fuckin scumbag, no more!
I fucked up franky, I really fucked up this time.
“Frankie u piece of shit!!!” lol
Ill make him an offer he not going refuse
As rough as that scene is, it’s great to see Frank Vincent on screen. Frank was an accomplished musician as well as an actor.
I agree, I wish they had done a few more scenes with him in the movie. It's good that he at least gets one where we hear him thinking(when the Chicago boss asks him about Nicky(Tony Spilotro character) banging Ace's wife), but it would have been nice to see a bit more of him.
He was also the Shah of Iran
Rumor has it, he did 20 years in the can…
Joe Pesci was a pretty decent guitar player, he's got some music out here on CZcams
Pesci and Vincent used to play together
“Frankie, do him a favor” - Joe Pesci
Vlad forgot to ask Frank about Suge getting 28 years...
😂🤣
This guy is 1000x more believable than Gianni Russo.
Yea most of this stuff was on the news. And Gianni just sounds to far fetched
Gianni do seem like he be cappin
@@Ghostkilla773 yea I completely agree I find it very hard to believe that he was marilyn monroe's shampoo boy when he was 15 or 16 and she came on to him and slept with him she could have had any man that she wanted but he wants us to believe that she wanted a 15yr old shampoo boy come on now
Well then you're wrong. Russo's is more reliable as far as witnessness still alive and photos. Y'all just don't want to believe it
@@pulln100 but your missing how he got the job and how marilyn was connected w the same people. As far as banging you must not know on how she rolled lol I believe 100% I mean theres photos
“You want me to continue “? He used to telling
@Chris Henny sound dumb
He said that because Vlad keeps cutting him off dummy. This is just a clip of a much longer video.
Richie D nah goofy he used to snitching so much the feds gotta stop him sometimes so they can write everything down. He b telling too fast lmao
Chris Henny this dude have you 12 ft under the ground back in his day, Shut up.
No you dumbass it's because Vlad keeps interrupting him when he's trynna tell the story...
Good interview
RIP. Went through all this shit and died of Covid-19
Another very infamous mob legend, Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso, also just died of COVID in prison yesterday.
Cullotta was horrible. He was there with Spilotro during the M&M Murders. He was a hit man in his early years with the mob. He was just as sick and twisted as Tony the Ant. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
@@cesardachimp8172 cullotta was not a hitman he was a thief and Tony's nickname was not the ant stop hating
@@bradmeeds1226 bruh Cullotta admitted to committing 4 murders in an interview. And Tony was a piece of shit too. (What are you talking about? His nickname was The Ant). He killed 26 people!
And you believe he died of “covid 19” smh. Gaspipe had alot of other health issues including cancer but of course they label his death covid.. same with frank an alot of others around world.
I want someone to ask Frank how he felt when Tony got killed, not as a gangster but as his life long friend. The human side of it.
He said it was sad for him to see Tony die like that and that he’d have been better off in jail
Wow that life had to be for men and not boys
I would think he wasn't to sad! after all Tony was going to have him killed
@@ericstevens8744
Psychopaths
I've never seen Glad be so quiet in an interview except with this guy 😂 he should keep this same energy with all the other guests. Him and Michael Franzese are the best ones on here recently
Because this old man was a button man he unlike Michael Franzese was doing "the heavy lifting" 👉 I can understand why Vlad would be intimidated they stuck a person's head in a vice and jabbed him with Ice picks!!!
@@digenesakritas1107 is that actually factual though?
Michael and glad videos made it so Michael dad died in jail snitch videos..these videos paint targets for cops to arrest..u and I help glad fight crime watching this..no joke
@@digenesakritas1107 this old guy was a burglar guy
@@chrisfricker7025 Absolutely the M&M(Miraglia and McCarthy)murders. Cullotta had a podcast before he died it's called Coffee with Cullotta look it up.
Because there's one thing about these old timers: they don't like any flucking around with the other guys' wives. It's bad for business. So this guy lied , even though that by lying to Gaggi, he could wind up getting killed too.
"Frankie, I want you to tell me the Truth."
Cool story bro
You knew people were gonna get clipped
-T.K. Kirkland
Remo Gaggi wasn't real. Do you mean Joe Aiuppa?
Ways to watch videos from the legend🤝
Real old timer I enjoy his stories you can tell this fella just speaks the truth.
Weird. I was 8 years old when Spiltoro was killed. I never knew any of that stuff existed when I was 8. Thankfully my family loved me and raised me well and kept me away from this kind of evil.
That's a good thing
Spiltoro did the same for his 8year old as your family did..odd comment
It should also open your eyes tho
Your mother was blowing mobsters whilst your father was at work…sad but true my friend.
Who care u dumbfuk
This interview is 🔥
I grew up with Michael Spilotro's son. He and I were 3rd grade when they found his dad and Uncle Tony's body.
Whats he up to now?
Several years ago, I worked at an athletic club here in Chicago. Michael Jr. was a member there (I can't remember how I found out, but no one told me). I had no idea what he looked like, so I might've encountered him at some point and didn't know it.
@@TheArtOfDean small world those are memories
I remember the day they found the bodies in that cornfield, I was living in Chicago and it was big news
How old are you?
@@Dj-Parralax-Aphelion Why
"it happened in a house. Do you want me to continue?" Lol he knew Vlad was probably gonna interrupt him.
The brothers were both killed in a house in unincorporated Bensenville in the Mohawk terrace subdivision off rt 83 just north of Irving park road. City of Wood Dale recently annexed that area and demolished the house for a future indoor sports facility.
You know this how? Who were the killers?
@Christopher kilian read the book family secrets and Nick Calabrese testimony of him and others doing the killings and where the house was located.
@@christopherkilian9763 mobsters are out of prison now telling all these stories. the information is out there. they were beat with pipes, baseball bats and were stomped to death in a basement of a house. they both knew what was already coming so they pretty much accepted their fate, then they were taken to the cornfield and buried.
Nick Calabrese who is a made man in the chicago outfit testified to exactly what happened to Tony and his brother that day.
Jimmy "the man" Marcello brought the brothers to a small house in chicago where they were beaten to death with kicks and punches.
Apparently tony asked for a moment to pray after he saw them jump Michael, pretty sad but that's the life and the rules. Tony and michael did that exact same thing to many other people.
Yup
Michael didnt
In Bensenville tho

RIP Frank Vincent! My fav Italian actor next to Gandolfini
They had it crackin on The Sopranos. 💯💯
You & ur fuckin brother
Get your fuckin shinebox!
Da Visionairy “Frankie u piece of shit!!!” lol
Frank Vincent was my favorite. Mostly cause he looks just like my grandfather.
"U want me to continue?" Lol
The Chicago Mob was wild. The Outfit was CASINO.
These are the interviews we need
My husband and I had dinner with Frank in 2016 after his mob tour in las vegas. Very interesting man. RIP Frank.
@isitsafe I will reply to your stupid question. keep an idiot in suspense! There, take that asshole and like it!
Rest in peace Frank . It was a pleasure knowing you.
I guess that's what Frank said when he would whack a guy (4 admitted incidents).
Always one that claims to know a celebrity. Get a life
Kills me how you guys say rest in peace to someone who killed people.
Finally, you dont interrupt with shit that happen you. But still great job vlad
"Once you hit dem steps baby it's all over. You're gone."
Frank Cullotta had a cameo as one of Remo Gaggi's elder mafioso hitmen and button-men the Outfit bosses send to kill the witnesses and loose ends of the Chicago Outfit's skim operation in the Vegas casino over the years. The one that says, "where ya going, jag off?" Before shooting the courier Nance execution style. The hitman is uncredited in the cast but in the script the elder hitman was named Curly while the other elderly assassin was credited as Beeper, based on Frank the German. Beeper was present and participated alongside Nicky's former crew, Frankie Marino, Sal Fusco, Jack Hardy and another one of Gaggi's button men, Fat Sally, in the cornfield beating on the Santoro Brothers.
There was no cornfield beating in real lofet
I read that Cullotta told Scorsese they used the phrase, jag off. Not what was in the script. Classic stuff.
@@MrOccyc cullotta a rat
Good clip.
That scene was brutal to watch. Idgaf what anyone says......Casino was better than Goodfellas. A perfect movie.
Damn idk bout that one, more entertaining definitely but storyline and accurate and great acting Goodfellas is up there Fosho I love casino though. Only movie that could damn near fuck with goodfellas is godfather 2
@@manuelgarcia5961 So if both movies weren't based on real life events and were 100% fictional, Casino would be better?
@@Vendzor ya more entertaining that’s forsure
@Joel Johnson cus u weren’t paying attention to the movie . That storyline is way better than the first, just more action in the first
Yes, hands down. Casino is one of my favorite movies AT ALL, not only amongst mob movies. A true masterpiece.
It’s crazy that in Casino, Joe Pesci and his brother were killed by Bats. The man who killed them, was Billy Bats from Goodfellas.
And Batts was killed earlier by Pesci in Goodfellas. Sweet revenge for Batts I guess.
Of course he's going to say there's no more Mafia ownd casino's in Vegas. That's the whole point of the organization it's a secret.
The mafia works with the democratic party according to Jordan Maxwell.
Unlike Frank Vincent's character portrayal of Frank Marino in the movie based on Cullotta, Frankie was never present when Tony and Michael Spilotro were whacked. Frankie was in witness protection and serving jail time at that time after Tony organized a failed assassination attempt on his former friend and lieutenant out of paranoia Frankie would snitch. Cullotta clearly hated how his former late childhood best friend and partner and his brother were made to suffer before dying. In the film Frankie Marino turns on Nicky in the end and leads the vicious gangland baseball bat beatdown on Nicky and Dominick. The bosses gave his fictional counterpart no choice or else be killed alongside the Santoro Brothers. Plus Nicky's own crew had enough of Nicky as much as the Outfit bosses by then.
pp up p😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
pp up p😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
That scene in Casino with the two brothers getting killed is heartbreaking.
Not really
Live by the bat, die by the bat
I’m not tryna sound like asshole but they kinda deserved it
@@TheOfficialMorningSonder nah u good 🤙🏾🤙🏾
Facts. Even though he was a monster, it's still hard to watch
I miss Frank, his channel was great, RIP
I found this particularly interesting because back in the day we were hearing mob reports regularly on CBS-2 in Chicago.
It was Tony & Michael Spilotro this and "reputed mob hitman" Harry Aleman that. To listen to the tv station's crime reporter,
John "Bulldog" Drummond, you'd almost think that he was a constant companion of many mob members. He talked about
Harry Aleman so much that I damn near became a fan of Harry's. Aleman's most active time was in the '70s, while the
Spilotro's made it to 1986.
Vlad: in the movie in happened in the cornfields
Frank: IT HAPPENED IN A HOUSE ...WANT ME TO CONTINUE!?
(Frank basically telling vlad to stop interrupting if he wants to hear the true story)
"DO YOU WANT ME TO CONTINUE?" ..... Poor Vlad needed a diaper afterwards
I think the reason why Scorsese put Cullotta's on screen character in the scene is because Scorsese probably said to the real life Cullotta 'listen Frank Vincent is desperate to get revenge on Joe Pesci for Raging Bull and Goodfellas so... 🤷♂️'
I always fast forward that cornfield scene in casino I just can’t watch it lol it’s a gruesome hard scene to watch
It's brutal and ugly
that scene traumatized me when I was younger
i think frank , michael and sammy gravano are the only former mob guys that actually tells true stories
I'm in Illinois, them getting killed in either Bensenville or Cicero is not surprising.
"Choocago..." x Vlad
"Shoecago..." x Frank
Guest “you want me to continue”
Vlad “Go ahead”
Feds “YES!!”
Vlad talk to this guy the same way you talk about Tekashi
Apparently there are levels to snitching. Those that'll give vlad an interview are good snitches
Ones a killer and one isn’t though
No bullshit😂😂😂
4:50 I said to myself, “holy shit!”
Its funny readimg the subtitles...😂
Who else thought Casino was an even better movie than Goodfellas?
Goodfellas was changed alot from what actually happened. Where as casino is a word.for word exact telling of what happened. In real life .. henri hill ratted because the fbi played him a recording of pauly.. who was a captain not the boss.. talking to.jimmy and ordering henris murder. That's really why he flipped.. also.. fat pauly was banging henris wife the whole time Henry was in prison. Tommy, pesci character, tried to bang her.. she said no.. And he raped her. Many say that's why paully actually had him killed.. not the Billy bats thing. Goodfellas changed the real story a lot. But casino was almost like a documentary.. it was spot on flawless as to what happened.. the only thing they changed was the murder site.. butbfor years everybody thought it happened in that cornfield.. cause that's where the bodies were found
Bensenville home..near Chicago ...in the basement...then taken to Indiana in a corn field and buried.
This man must have been the premiere go to for Chicago Outfit stories. I will now see if he did any interviews with Chicago mob expert John Drummond.
I’ve read about the basement in the home where they was both beaten before they was taken to be buried, supposedly the basement has an uneasiness about it, if you believe such things.
did he really just casually tell who killed sam giancanna?
Little does frank cullotta know who went into the witness protection program in 1982 which was 4 FULL years before the spilotro brothers were murdered in 1986 which would make it an understatement to say he was personally out of the loop on spilotro current mafia events at that time other than finding out second hand..was that michael spilotro was muscling bookmakers to collect money to send to tony spilotro because tony's revenue stream at least partially dried up because most mafia operations in vegas were at a standstill from all that government heat and indictments and tony spilotro had massive legal fees to pay oscar goodman in the 4 month long hole in the wall gang trial right before he was killed ..it is well documented that michael spilotro owned many legit business ...like hoagies restaurant, the backroom jazz club, the painted penny cocktail lounge , commercial real estate on wells street in old town chicago , apartment building s on foster avenue in chicago which according to real estate records were sold and the proceeds were signed over to Michael spilotro s widow anne from michael s dentist brother pat...so obviously michael was not hurting for money personally....he did it out of loyalty for a brother who was just as loyal to him...that is no ,no in the mafia to put blood before the code of that life but to americans who value family instead of a criminal organization it is more noble than being loyal to gangsters...to many wannabes who idolize gangsters on the other hand ..this make michael spilotro a piece of garbage...life is all about perspective
So basically he knew what went on in the basement but if he didn't go they would of killed his bro...so he went because he had power...dam that's balls and love for his brother
The guy was a murdering psychopath, he had it coming
No they both had to go Tony bc of his position, and Michael because he was promised to get made ..
Could I continue or do I have to clip you right here
"Sources say that one of the brothers was wearing exotic see-thru nylon underwear". I remember seeing a news report on the Spilotro brothers bodies being found and the reporter mentioned this. F'd up 😵😂😂
Wait what?? Can you elaborate on this?
@@CleverGurl8 Watch the Tony Spilotro 30 years ABC News video on here and go to the 8:30 mark. Reply to this comment "Watched It" to let me know u seen it. Thanks!
Rest In Peace Frank Vincent. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Once you hit them steps baby, it’s all over, you’re gone.
As I was younger I always wanted to be in the mafia but as I got older, either your gonna killed, arrested by your own doing, or someone is going to turn witness
Haven't seen any of Franks videos lately. Hope his health is OK
He is fighting the Corona.
He died.
@@zoekernohan3861 i know that, i posted that two months ago before any one knew anything
This guy said bensenvilor cicero lmao 💪
I think this guy (Frank Cullotta) was one of the two older hitmen they had in the movie Casino who cleaned up all the loose ends at the end of the movie.
That was him.
I would love to have met Mr. Cullotta. An interesting life story.
I always feel they changed his death in Casino because they’d already used it in Goodfellas, so they upped it.
😮😮😮....I needed to see this and I didn't even know it lol😂
“Dats not tru”
My friends uncle was an associate of Franks,.....before him and Tony went to Vegas.
Man he's a genuine mobster
And like every one of them, he was a real POS. When it came time to steal from, hurt, or even killing someone they knew, it's always "Hey, it's nothing personal, it's just business".
"Want me to continue" lol
I thought they had Culotta kill Tony Spilotro in the movie to get revenge for being whacked in Goodfellas! As far as no mob in Vegas, some people have speculated that some Indian casinos are secretly mob controlled.
"when I heard" about the murder...right...
You can see it in franks face he's tired of telling his story 😂
Is that why he has his own channel telling these same stories and agreed to do this interview??🤔
@@wsmokr I know but his face looks unsatisfied
I always wondered what happened when Vegas became the family friendly place in the 90s. It didn’t last of course and went back to being sleazy in no time.
Frank did you watch the Ralph Natalie interview...Did you meet Chicago boss mr batters
This guy used to drink at a bar on Maryland Parkway in Las Vegas. You never know what kind of people you're around. There could be a mob hitman sitting next to you at the karaoke bar. The next time the booze starts getting to your ego and you start an argument with a random old guy, don't forget that he could easily be a psycho killer. Calm yourself down and order a glass of water.
He sure loves playing the part.
So to my understanding.Tony and his brother were killed in a basement but later buried.Because their bodies were found in a 5 ft deep grave in a cornfield within the 12,000-acre Willow Slough preserve,just 2
miles east of the Indiana-Illinois state line.
Rest in peace frank, salute
The fact of the matter is, we will probably never know the real truth about how they were killed.
Geez, Chris, there are so many "mob" experts here telling us the way of the syndicate that we must already know everything in detail.
TRUE. NO MATTER HOW MANY X'S YOU
VIEW THE 🎞️"CASINO". THAT SCENE IS TOUGH TO WATCH. WE THOUGHT WE ONLY FELT THAT. WE DISCUSSED THAT IS THE..........OF GREAT 🎭ING.
😇😎🎤.
As a youth we looked up at the idea of the gangsters but now look at the dudes we looked up 2
“I thought you was laying?””nah I’m taking !”
LLMAO!!!
I grew up in bensenville it happened there from what people say
GOOD VIDEO ! TUESDAY 11/23/21 NOVEMBER 23, 2021
Frank has never said it was a basement in any other interview. He's running out of fresh stories.
"Do you want me to continue?" No Frank, let's talk about Suge Knight.
