Calogero: Bill Mazeroski, I hate him. He made Mickey Mantle cry. The papers said the Mick cried.

Sonny: Mickey Mantle? That's what you're upset about? Mantle makes $100,000 a year. How much does your father make? If your dad ever can't pay the rent and needs money, go ask Mickey Mantle. See what happens. Mickey Mantle don't care about you. Why care about him?

Calogero: [narrating] After that, I never felt the same way about the Yankees.

classic...but like was said, this is more of a coming-of-age and less of a gangster movie.

It doesnt rank. Real gangsters dont get caught up in a movies worth of that dramatic trash.

Movie is great and a classic... Don't know if anyone know this is based on Chazz Palminterie's (the guy that plays Sonny) up bringing in that neighborhood.

Taral Hicks is proof that darkskinned women can hang with the light skinned broads that cats obsess over. Broad is/was a straight up dime piece... Wonder what she's been up to.

Yeah, its based on Chazz's life. If u look up his wikipedia Chazz's real name is Calogero, so there u go. Pretty self explanatory.

And Taral Hicks is gorgeous. I remember watching Belly for the 1st time a couple of years ago (I know, late as f*ck) and I kept thinking, where do I know this chick from? It took me days to figure out she was in Bronx Tale.

Its overrated garbage. Both as a so called "mafia flick" and as a love story
