Quotes
Tony Bender:
"Cut it off!" Bender to his two henchman as they grab Gap to get a "present" for Don Vito's girlfriend.
Goofs
About 35 minutes into the movie, at the "Bronx Parish" where a crowd plays a game similar to bingo, the US flag on the podium has 50 stars instead of the 48 stars of that period.
Alternate Versions
To receive an 'X' certificate the UK cinema version received heavy cuts to scenes of violence including the castration scene, bloody shootings, and the meat hook killing. Video and DVD releases restore the cuts.
