Would you stand up to Tommy or no?

Probably not. Not unless I was willing to eliminate him right then and there. Standing up to him wouldn't even be worth it. Tommy had a straight up psycho mentality.

Stand up to him - face to face? Hell no. But I'd have NO problem taking him out when he didn't see it coming. It would require quite a bit of stalking and a silent weapon but I believe I could have done it with no problem. I think I would have used a cross bow through the head or neck.

No, I don't have a death wish. In fact I would have tried to avoid him as much as possible due to his reputation. There are certain people I make a point of never rubbing shoulders with.

> Glad the real Thomas DeSimone went slow, as opposed to being shot in the back of the head like in the film.

Guessing this poster confused Tommy and Jimmy. The real Tommy disappeared in 1979 and is presumed dead, very likely murdered. The real Jimmy died of cancer while in prison.

Tommy was a chaotic evil psychopath and standing up to him was suicide. Spider wasn't brave, he was fucking stupid, as if that wasn't obvious before he got himself blown away over nothing.

Yep.. He sure did.. He had every right to tell Tommy to go fuck himself and he did, but he paid the price for it as well

Only if I was sitting in a tank with the barrel pointed at his face.

Goodfellas is a horrible film, full of horrible characters and (apparently) beloved by horrible people (with likewise taste in movies)
