  I never realized Chazz Palminteri not only starred in this but wrote it based on his experience as a kid.

  Chazz Palminteri who plays Sonny wrote this story based on his real life. He made it a play and starred in it himself. The play was a huge hit and and movie companies wanted to purchase it and pay him big money for the rights to it, but he wouldn't budge when it came to his demands to play Sonny in the movie. He was broke but never gave in to offers of a million dollars until Deniro saw the play and offered to fund it and allow Palminteri to play Sonny. Chazz Palminteri's real first name is Calogero, so the entire movie is what he experienced as a child.

  A NYC bus driver salary in 1960 was ~$100/wk or $5,200/yr.<br>Lorenzo was offered $150/wk to &quot;run numbers&quot;.<br>$150/wk in 1960 is equivalent to $1,645/wk or $85,540/yr in 2025.<br>That&apos;s some GOOD money he turned down.... <br> <br>And, the $600 that Calogero made working the craps tables is equivalent to $6,579 in 2025.<br>It&apos;s also equivalent to 6 weeks of his father&apos;s bus driver salary.

  Robert De Niro, as the director, pushed very hard to keep the interracial relationship in the movie, imitating his own life experiences. And we know how Robert loves black women 😉.

  Craps (dice) rules: <br>If you roll a 7 or 11 - you win. <br>If you roll 2 (snake eyes), 3 (ace deuce) or 12 (boxcars) - you lose. <br>If you roll 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 - you roll again... until you get 7, 11, 2, 3 or 12.
