After the Luthansa heist, Jimmy starts whacking all the people involved. Except for the Samuel Jackson character, the rest of them were made guys. However Jimmy was not a made guy and would need permission to have those guys whacked. However Jimmy was never killed nor was an attempt ever made on his life. Plot hole
shareThe crew that pulled off the Lufthansa heist weren't made guys. They were low-level members of the crew Jimmy ran. It can't be determined, nor was it mentioned that any of them were Sicilian as required to be "made". That heist was something Henry brought to Jimmy and it was up to Jimmy to "okay it" between Henry and Frenchy. Technically, Jimmy could have wasted everyone.
shareAlways read that Jimmy was a good earner, and got leeway from the bosses.
shareWell this then brings up another plot hole. If he was such a good earner, then he should have been a made guy
sharenot 100% Italian may have something to do with it; can't trace his relatives back to the "Old Country".
shareThis movie is based on true events. There can't be a plot hole. The Luthansa heist actually happened, people involved were killed soon after.
Jimmy Burke was a very scary guy, the woman he married had a former lover trying to win her back. The poor guy would show up unannounced and serenade her after she got married. He was found in a car with his arms and legs cut off. Mr. Burke was questioned but never charged with his murder.
Well you say the movie is based on true events, yet in the movie, Jimmy was never married.
shareThat part was in the book. The book also includes a detailed chapter where Henry Hill hatched a elaborate scheme to steal keys from a guard at the airport who worked for Luthansa.
It also devotes a few chapters to the Boston point shaving scheme.
If you enjoyed the movie, I highly recommend reading it. Mr. Hill led a wild life, so different from the everyday grind. (Which is what the movie was trying to sell)
@millsey72 I thought that was Jimmy’s wife crying in court when he was found guilty. Also, didn’t he and his wife go on holidays with Henry and Karen? During one of Karen’s VOs she mentioned Jimmy and Mickey were always the first to be at the hospital and that they would go on holidays together, no outsiders etc…
shareNot made guys. None of them were. Of the younger crew, Tommy was the only one and we know how long that lasted.
shareI don't think that the offer to make Tommy was genuine; it looked to me like it was nothing more than a ruse to get him to go some place alone where he could be killed.
shareAgreed.
shareExactly. The real Tommy was a whole lot bigger than Pesci so it probably concerned the bosses to get Tommy isolated and helpless. They also most likely thought that Tommy would not just show up alone at any event. Tommy would probably be paranoid if he found out nobody else was coming but him at a random event. Being made kind of throws guys like Tommy off because it is not like automatic that people such as Jimmy and Henry are invited.
shareHe was made after the heist.
shareI READ THIS WHOLE THREAD...I HAVE JUST ONE QUESTION...WHAT IN THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?...IT'S LIKE YOU ARE WILLFULLY,PURPOSELY DAFT & IGNORANT.🤔
