Looking at this kind of thing has the pleasure of stepping on crabs on the beach, addicting
1. De Niro found Al Capone's original tailor and made him several sets of clothes exactly like Al Capone. (Learn about De Niro's wardrobe)
2. Albert H. Wolff, the last survivor of the event and one of the film's consultants, helped Palmer perfect the character of Eliot Ness.
3. In reality, because Al Capone knew that killing a federal agent would get in trouble, he never assassinated Eliot Ness and his crew, but kept trying to bribe them.
4. The movie where De Niro suddenly smashes people in the head with a baseball bat is based on a true event on May 7, 1929. Two of Capone's most feared thugs plot to kill him and take over his gang. Hearing the wind, Capone invited all his squires to the dinner, including these two. During the banquet, Capone took out a baseball bat and beat the two guys to death, then took out a gun and shot them. There is also a theory that another of Capone's thugs, Tony Accardo (nicknamed "Baseball Kid"), killed the two traitors with a bat.
5. Palmer asked Bob Hoskins over drinks in Los Angeles if he would play Capone if De Niro turned down the role. Before De Niro agreed, Hoskins agreed. After Luo finally agreed to take on Capone, Palmer sent Hoskins a thank you note. The studio paid Hoskins £20,000 for having signed a "pay or play (even if the film didn't shoot on schedule, still get the expected pay)". Then Hoskins called Palmer right away and asked Palmer if there were any movies that didn't require him.
6. In reality, Capone promised Ness that he would receive two $1,000 checks every Monday if he could keep his eyes on the bootleg trade. Ness didn't accept the bribe, and lived in poverty for the rest of his life. He was close to bankruptcy when he died at 54.
7. Even if there is no chance to show it in the movie, De Niro insists that he must wear the same underwear as Capone. The producers knew that De Niro was a method actor and had no choice but to give in to him. (Method School, Method School.jpg)
8. Capone never met Ness in real life.
9. De Niro didn't have time to gain weight for the character due to the tight schedule, so during filming, to look closer to Al Capone, he needed to carry a cushion and pillow all the time.
10. In reality, Eliot Ness has been married three times (he married his first wife while hunting down Capone), and his only child is an adopted boy.
11. In the movie, Capone's personal barber shop at the Lexington Hotel includes cologne, razors and other small items that belong to the real Al Capone.
12. In the original plan, the final Eliot Ness-gangster shootout took place on a stationary train, but a 1930s train was abandoned because Paramount thought it was too expensive. Palmer later moved this idea to Dawn of Love Owl.
13. Mickey Rourke didn't take on the role of Eliot Ness. (I'll never see Robert De Niro again! Mickey said.)
14. The godfather first generation and third generation meet together. It is worth mentioning that the elder brother of the godfather, Santino "Sonny" Corleone, is named after Al Capone's son.
15. In an early cast list, Marlon Brando turned down a $5 million salary to play Al Capone for two weeks. (Hurry up and get my coconuts and stop hugging my thighs! Brando said.)
16. The kid in the cradle at the train station is the son of the special effects artist in this movie. (Special effects are dedicated to youth and descendants..)
17. Every cop or detective in the movie who drank was killed. (miserable, capitalized miserable)
18. A total of 24 people died in the movie.
19. The opera Capone listened to in the movie was an excerpt from Leon Cavallo's The Harlequin (Pagliacci): In Costumes (Vesti la Giubba).
The story behind the movie is sometimes more interesting than the movie.
I secretly bolded the subtitles involving De Niro, and I am determined to be a good fan _(:з"∠)_
