Joe Pesci beat Frank to a pulp in Raging Bull and Goodfellas, but Frank got even in Casino. The scene in the cornfield. mg1:

Meant to say earlier that I didn't realize the "Salvy" character in Raging Bull (beat up by Pesci) was the same actor who played "Billy Batts" in Goodfellas (again beaten by Pesci) - Frank Vincent. (10 yrs between the two movies) He sure earned his paycheck in those roles.

RIP Frank. I liked his character Phil Leotardo, I always thought Tony Soprano was a little too hard on him.

I thought the opposite, he was rough on "T"

I only saw a few episodes of the Sopranos. But I looked up Phil Leotardo....interesting character.

This is the scene that sticks in my mind:

OUCH! (From "Casino") Frank swinging a bat. mg1:
Take that, Joe Pesci.
