Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOriginally the filmmakers were considering making a crime caper movie in the vein of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) or Snatch (2000) called "Imperfect Crime," many characters from which made it into "Beantown." Ed Zeppelin, Sheep-Shaggin' Sean, Fancy Dan Medici and others were originally from that script, as were several of the gags including that of a character continually fixing himself up with duct tape and other objects as he is more and more injured.
- Quotes
Angelo Vitale: The Leones and the Winter Hill Gang both know that they're dyin' out. They've been watchin' it happen for ten years, and the pressure between the two's just been buildin' and buildin' to this entire time. They have excuses for this war of theirs, but they're only that, excuses. Somewhere in their collective minds, they see that they're a dying breed. Men who live such as they do, by the fist and the knife and the gun? They aren't meant to quietly disappear. They'd rather die fighting, killed in a war with those who've been their worthy opponents for over a hundred years, Irish and Italian alike. They would rather go down shooting than simply fade away. They may not say it, they may not even know it, but this is exactly how they want it to end.
