Trivia
Former mob capo turned motivational speaker Michael Franzese of the Colombo crime family, who worked with John Gotti of the Gambino crime family, considers this the most accurate mafia movie he has ever seen.

Goofs
The audio played back in the courtroom is not the same as the conversation that took place earlier in the film. Notably, John Gotti used the phrase "physically sick" during the earlier conversation, but it does not appear when the tape is played back. Also when Gotti asks who "did the work?" Frankie says "Sammy," but on the tape, Frankie says "Fucking Sammy" which Gotti repeats.

Quotes
F.B.I Agent: Mr. Gotti, I am with the F.B.I.
John Gotti: You know what F.B.I. stands for don't you?
F.B.I Agent: Why don't you tell me.
John Gotti: Forever Bother the Italians.

Mr. Assante is John Gotti

For a TV movie this is very good. Why Mr. Assante doesn't get more good parts is amazing to me. He nails this part and if you have ever read anything about Gotti you have to believe that the two met. The movie has some great scenes. The best are when the mob guys are just hanging around. The creators of "Sopranos" have used this very well because while wiseguys are not always wise they are sure colorful.
