Stupidity: When Nicki Santoro breaks into Anna Scott's house and murders her by repeatedly shooting her in the head, he is not wearing gloves, and he leaves fingerprints all over the place, most significantly on her head and neck. He has a long criminal record, and his fingerprints would be on file in multiple locations.
Casino (1995)
1 stupidity
Directed by: Martin Scorsese
Starring: Robert De Niro, James Woods, Sharon Stone, Joe Pesci, Kevin Pollak, Don Rickles
Revealing mistake: When Sharon Stone gets thrown out of Joe Pesci's club, you can see the pads on Stone's hands to break the impact of the fall.
Vinny Forlano: He won't talk. Stone is a good kid. Stand-up guy, just like his old man. That's the way I see it.
Vincent Borelli: I agree. He's solid. A fuckin' Marine.
Americo Capelli: He's okay. He always was. Remo, what do you think?
Remo Gaggi: Look... why take a chance? At least, that's the way I feel about it.
Trivia: Robert DeNiro was so adamant about portraying the character he was playing, that he had his suits that he had worn in the movie made by the same tailors who had made Frank Rosenthal's suits.
Question: Why would Sam's life be threatened by the Mafia bosses if they find out that Ginger and Nicky are having an affair? I know it's mentioned that they hold marriage in high regard but isn't Sam the victim of being cheated on by his wife and betrayed by his friend? I can only come to the conclusion that they wouldn't approve of a man letting his wife sleep around but still, that seems presumptuous and excessive even for the mob. (02:22:10)
Answer: It's also possible that the "bosses" would be concerned that a rift between Nicky and Sam could bring public (police) attention to the criminal activities going on behind the scenes. These are, after all, two very egotistical individuals.
Answer: Concern about their affair probably has nothing to do with "mob morality" but with the possible complications and unwanted attention that Nick and Ginger, who is a volatile and unpredictable alcoholic and drug addict, could cause for the casino operators, who are being investigated by the F.B.I.
Answer: He wasn't threatened by the bosses. Nicky was the one who tried to kill him.
