If you look up and see how the real Hendry Hill ended up you'd think very differently. Besides, in today's modern society you can afford to take your girl out to a nice club and get VIP service. Unless you're a dirt cheap Broke-Ass chump, but then you would be below a regular guy.

Just be grateful that you haven't had to endure the painful transition from the high life, to mediocrity. It's a scab that's picked often, and bleeds regularly. Then you remember you're just grateful to be alive. That's what I assume anyway.

Yes, but also, this shot is from not really from Henry's POV -- it's reallyKaren's. To Henry this whole experience is as regular as that Bouncer-type eating a sandwich in the hallway they pass; for Karen, it's her first taste of an exotic, almost celebrity lifestyle where everything is on a first-name basis, and big tips flow casually from one palm to the other as freely as greetings.

god this such an effective scene. and such a pain in the ASS as a cameraman. dodging all those people while still trying to make it realistic? yikes. but this is easily one of my favorite continuous shots ever. the only rivals in my opinion are the tricycle scene from the shining for its use of sound or the hijacking scene from true detective b/c it is just badass and super professional. but this is probably the best. understated, you get a real sense of the main character. following them down to the basement of the building, you get a feeling that this guy is in 'below the ground level' and part of something the general public just isn't. its not just the framing, but the physical location of the characters that makes this scene effective. very cool.

@tenactitans , That's true. However, in the case of Ray Liotta, it was a shock for a few reasons. For one thing, he was not that old. He was only 67. Also, he seemed to be as active as ever when it came to making movies. At the time of his death, Ray Liotta was in the Dominican Republic and was in the process of shooting a movie when he died unexpectedly. In addition, no cause of death was ever revealed. It is possible that Ray Liotta had some health issues but didn't go public about it.

He went through the back door because it was the shortcut - not because the Copa was embarrassed to have him enter through the front. The Copa, along with El Morocco, was the place to be if you had money - movie star, mobster, Duke, businessman, show girl - it catered to anyone with money.
Yes, but also, this shot is from not really from Henry's POV -- it's reallyKaren's. To Henry this whole experience is as regular as that Bouncer-type eating a sandwich in the hallway they pass; for Karen, it's her first taste of an exotic, almost celebrity lifestyle where everything is on a first-name basis, and big tips flow casually from one palm to the other as freely as greetings.
I just noticed they had no reason to walk through the kitchen at all other than the shot, the hall they entered from is right next to the hall they enter the main room from. Instead of just continuing straight they went through the whole kitchen
Guys at the next table sending him a bottle of wine to drink and they raise their glasses salute to Herny and Karen.
My aunt was a waitress at the famous Pepe's pizza in New Haven and a Friday night usually involves a 1hr+ wait time. Me and a girl I was taking out for the first time went there and she had us come through the back thru the kitchen while the line went out the door. Tipping my hat to the chefs and the people I knew there made me feel like Henry Hill in this scene lol
PEPES!!! I lived in New Haven for a while and a couple yrs my apartment was literally on the other side of the fence from Pepes. The smell was freakin amazing when I’d come home from work
Anthony I have to know did she blow your whistle that night?
I hope your marriage will always be Blessed and Fruitful.
Maybe, but Henry was a snitch & a pathological liar that often-told tales that made him seem far more important than he ever was.
Did you both get soft drinks of choice?
Every time I come here, EVERY TIME, you two. DON'T YOU WORK?!

Everybody talks about the steadicam one take, which is brilliant, but the way Scorsese perfectly syncs it to "And Then He Kissed Me" really sells it. This one scene perfectly explains to the audience why a nice girl like Karen would fall for a hoodlum like Henry with hardly any dialogue at all. It's a perfect scene from a perfect movie.
EricJ At the time Karen doesn’t know Henry is a hoodlum. She learns that later.
Technically Henry wasn't lying when he said " I'm a union delegate". The Mafia owned the unions 🤣🤣🤣. Brilliant.
Homer: “What’s this job pay?” Carl: “Nothin’!” Homer: “D’oh!” Carl: “Unless you’re crooked!” Homer: “WOO-HOO!”
Nothing has changed - although the term ‘mafia’ has been replaced by ‘Davos psychopaths and eugenicists’

How to Impress a Woman 101
Benjamin Jack Kata Finau this is the finals of senior year
pull out your wallet.
But-but what about personality and kindness?!
No. It's how to impress an immature woman.
@@lorrilewis2178 I wouldnt say that, hes showing off how well known and respected he is by everyone. Most people would be impressed by that to some degree.
Fun fact, the hallway the exit into from the Kitchen was the same one they walked through to enter it. They ended up looping in the Kitchen to make the shot longer.
your right
crimsonECH1DNA idk if it was to make it longer lol, i think it's just Henry showing off his social status, a good way into a woman's pants is to show her that you are an important man.
I was wondering that. Ive been in those kitchens. Shouldn't take that long to walk through it.
The restaurant didn’t allow them to shoot the entrance of the restaurant for publicity purposes of being in a mob movie. Of course Scorsese turned this into one of the greatest scenes of all time by taking this restriction to his advantage. This is what actually happened.
thats whtai noticed when i first watched it lol it always kinda bugged me but it was that long scene shot that makes it good. just like in casino the desert scene when nickie drives on i the desert sand it the tires squeel lol
RIP Ray Liotta. This scene will go down on history books.
I still find it shocking to think that Ray Liotta died. He seemed like he was going to go on forever.
How did he die
@@jygb7092, From what I have read and heard, the actual cause of death was never revealed. The only thing I know for certain is that Ray Liotta died in his sleep while in the Dominican Republic. He was there to shoot a movie.
@@williamlandolfi7858 dang
who are the 9 losers that don't recognize the brilliance of this scene? simple one of the greatest scenes ever!
My wife said she wanted to go somewhere she'd never been before, I said try the kitchen.
Stefan.J Collins I take my wife everywhere but she always finds her way home!
Hahaha!
Give her 6 months

This scene is so famous it has a nickname "the copa"
One of the most brilliantly shot scenes in all of film history. Shows the true genus of Scorsese.
Haha my grandfather was the captain at the copacobana (the one in the blue suit) it's so awesome seeing it here
Aidan Polemeni really?
"So what do you do?" "I'm in waste management." *Get it?*
@justin6241983 --Dr. Melfi!
Somewhere Tony soprano is raging
Waste management everyone assumes you're mobbed up.
“What do you do?” “I’m a waste management consultant.”
Everybody immediately assumes you're mobbed up. It's a stereotype. And it's offensive!
I love the Family Guy interpretation of this scene
That walk from car to table (and Mr. Tony) - wow - no cuts (the average :30 Tv commercial has 25-30 edits some 50). Swaggering, cocky Henry never makes a wrong turn, instinctively guides them through turns in the suffocating catacombs of the kitchen, as he's familiarly done a thousand times before... The Crystals such perfect striding music. The employees, so great, too! Magnificent.
A legendary mafia movie and all the actors and actresses put on great performances and a bunch of classic lines
Yeah, I'm gonna say it: Screw you, Dances with Wolves.
Seriously. Dances With Wolves needs to go home and get its fucking shinebox.
You're a funny guy
FifaMobile TomSawyer funny how?
The Goodfellas tracking shot is the greatest scene ever shot. Martin Scorsese only makes the best films ever made. Guaranteed.
What an absolute iconic, classic scene. One of the best films EVER.
This iconic shot was done on the 8th take and the steadicam operator directed Ray Liotta (Henry Hill) to pause every so often to let the camera catch up to him at the bottom of the stairs. This is why Henry stops every so often to tip doormen or to comment to the couple in the corner.
The Fidget Spinner Movie where’d you hear that
@@ObamaFromKenya In an interview with the cameraman.
The Fidget Spinner Movie did you just thumbs up your own comment😳😳🤔🤔
@@ObamaFromKenya If you're asking if I liked what I just wrote, why would I say something if I didn't like it?
Scene always brings a smile to my face A true masterpiece of film
this is the best scene ever
romantic scene ever
All in one take. Great scene
how romantic
I take my wife everywhere but she keeps finding her way back home..
Oh man this scene is legendary.
The camera work and the timing make this a fantastic scene. Really a running set of multiple scenes.
It's awesome that they got Henny Youngman to play himself. He's the Borscht Belt comedian who coined "take my wife...please!" in the era that part of Goodfellas takes place (of course, he was much younger then).
Always loved this scene. The choice of music was perfect
Ahh..too bad scene couldnt go a bit longer...one of the best Benny Youngmans jokes...The guy goes to the doctor and the doctor tells him he has cancer and he has 6 months to live...but the guy doesnt have enough money to pay the bill...Doc says thats OK...gives him another 6 months to live...lollol
Rest in Peace Ray Lotta 🙏 Paul Savino Good Fellas to End
One of my favorite movies. It was love on the first watching and it still lasts.
This is my favorite scene of the movie. The fact that it was all a one shot scene, made it even better.
That was one perfect seamless shot. Probably a nightmare to shoot
god this such an effective scene. and such a pain in the ASS as a cameraman. dodging all those people while still trying to make it realistic? yikes. but this is easily one of my favorite continuous shots ever. the only rivals in my opinion are the tricycle scene from the shining for its use of sound or the hijacking scene from true detective b/c it is just badass and super professional. but this is probably the best. understated, you get a real sense of the main character. following them down to the basement of the building, you get a feeling that this guy is in 'below the ground level' and part of something the general public just isn't. its not just the framing, but the physical location of the characters that makes this scene effective. very cool.
Andrew Sheppard a lot of the tracking shots in Children of Men wouls make my list. And the one from Raging Bull.
carlito's way
Check out 'I Am Cuba' from 1964 for some extraordinary continuous takes. Scorsese himself is a big admirer and PT Anderson 'quoted' from it in Boogie Nights.
One take. Incredible.
Every time I come here! Every time, you two!
Love this scene. Love this song 💋
" take my wife...please!". You'd think Jimmy Conway could have hired Rupert Pupkin to do the stand-up at least!
Saw it the first time last night this was easily one of the coolest scenes I've ever seen on screen
Scene's simply beautiful
Classic use of a "Steady Cam" for the one take! Also reminds me of going to the old "Latin Casino" in Cherry Hill NJ back in the early 70's!! Not thu the kitchen, but had some "Connections" that got me to the front of the line!!!
ALL-TIME FAVORITE SCENE.... THAT'S PULL....I LOVE IT....
This is my all-time favorite scene from any movie! I love it!
One of the few times I've actually wanted to stand and applaud in the middle of a movie.
My favorite scene….fantastic...
I like coming in this way, no line. (Classic Liotta laugh)
Can believe we lost you, Ray. Rest easy
People die
@tenactitans , That's true. However, in the case of Ray Liotta, it was a shock for a few reasons. For one thing, he was not that old. He was only 67. Also, he seemed to be as active as ever when it came to making movies. At the time of his death, Ray Liotta was in the Dominican Republic and was in the process of shooting a movie when he died unexpectedly. In addition, no cause of death was ever revealed. It is possible that Ray Liotta had some health issues but didn't go public about it.
I love how he bought time asking “what?” Then almost cut her off by saying he’s in construction. Great movie.
This is one of the best “one takes” in film history. So fucking good.
For sure, True Detective season 1, Boogie Nights, The Revenant, Birdman, Gravity and Children of Men all up there too with savage long one takes.
You gave them 20$ each... its alright. Damn henry was literally giving away money
I worked in restaurants , the kitchen scene is very realistic.
Just love this movie. This and gladiator are my favs
Had this Song on my Mind .... this Morning ~ Luv this Scene !
I Love how Henry walked in like he owned the place.
Tops to the editing team, music score, and the ever impressive Ray Liotta
this scene changed cinema. One could argue this steady stream of a single shot moving from one location to another was a creation of scorsese. This scene made the wonderful effects of Birdman possible
The first ever use of the steadicam was in Rocky, the first ever one built. It was big and clunky and you could hear the sound of it in the background. It was the scene where he walks down the street at the beginning of the film and then when he is sprinting in front of the ship at the end of his training montage.
I had our Videographer Film us being Introduced at our wedding while this song Played and we walked the room. It went down a Storm
I love how they made something that is just mentioned in passing one of the most memorable things in the whole film
One of the best gangster movies ever in top 5 movies ever released from Hollywood
He watches the car for me....
"My wife asked me where to go for our anniversary somewhere she hasn't been to before I said try the kitchen" lol omg that line from that comedian was top notch in my opinion and no I'm not sexiest.
I'm offended and I find that women.
azu111 I'll be straight with u I don't know how to respond to ur comment it's a little funny in my opinion.
Loyalguardian6000 I think his comment was a joke, making fun of over-sensitive women.
SoleMan117 ok I get now lol thx for explaining.
The Director proved his greatness here.
RIP Henry Hill. The coolest "rat" there ever was. BTW - Who would ever "dislike" this clip?
Only Martin Scorsese that can direct that crowd.
Always loved this film
This was a real life mob hangout back in the days! Real popular with mob guys
@norsemustang Henry Hill is the one looking down and then looks and moves to the left at 1:12. Ray Liotta looks over his shoulder as if to see what he's making. I love this classic scene and music!
11 people got pinched
They were told to get their shoebox
As an editor myself I absolutely LOVE extended one-shot takes like this (and can appreciate being handed an entire scene that I can just drop into a cut of a movie and not have to make any edits). The kitchen walk-through is especially impressive with all of the coordination going on, and you even see Ray Liotta (RIP) apparently accidently bump into a counter and just keep on going. I wonder how many takes it took to get this right?
In the behind closed doors goodfellas interviews on Reelz, Scorsese said this scene took 8 takes.
@@Mazrim420 Wow, 8 whole takes? That must have been aggravating. Thanks for the info. I'd love to see a montage of the different takes and where they screwed up to have to start over each time.
There is another interview with the actual camera man who explains it all better. Basically they did it all once, and realized it needed work. They had to improvise how to make it better on each take pretty much, like putting in a doorman and getting Ray to stop and hand him money and greet random people so that the cameraman could catch up with him and keep the shots wide and show you all the details and not just up close on the actors.@@ZZZGGGLLLAAAHHH
“Take my wife please!”
RIP Ray Liotta
Best scene in the movie. Continuous camera shot from one angle as they stroll through...
I think this and the "funny" scene might be two of the best scenes ever made for movies ever.
Love this scene.
"Every time I come here, you two...Every time! Don't you work?!"
Probably the greatest scene ever.
R.I.P. Ray Liotta
one of the best scenes ever
construction dude gets seat front row knows everyone in front row and free wine... LOL
brilliant sequence
Take my wife please! Amazing delivery and a hilarious way to finish a top scene.
Pretty impressive how they glided on into the most swankiest place right up front without waiting in line.
Then he kissed me, Crystals. Classic.
Love this scene!
The TEDtalk is called "Rob Legato: The art of creating awe", its around the 13:16 mark in video. Though I recommend watching the whole presentation, it's very interesting!
This is my favorite scene in the movie Henry was smooth in impressing his date. I love the line (I work in Construction).
magnificent filmmaking
Strictly on a technical level, this is the best scene in the film.
Can not wait to see this club in The Irishman later this year! On a JRE with Sebastian, he said they used the Gotham Comedy club in NYC as Copa.
that's great I've watched this movie 10 times and never noticed that
