Casino Imdb Trivia
When you make a film as unbelievably good as Goodfellas, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with repackaging it, moving it out to Vegas, and making it about running a Casino.  That’s essentially what Martin Scorsese’s movie Casino did.  Only in this case he removed Ray Liotta and Paul Sorvino and replaced them with the likes of Sharon Stone and James Woods.  Is the movie the same as Gooodfellas? Definitely not. But it reminds me of how David O. Russell (Silver Linings Playbook) keeps recycling his favorite actors into movies.  Oddly enough, Robert De Niro is in Russell’s films as well.
While not as good as Goodfellas, had that movie never existed and it was just Casino? I think all of us would have been talking about Casino for years and years just as we talk about Goodfellas. It’s hard to believe that the film is now 22-years-old but time flies. And even in that span of 22 years there are plenty of things we haven’t discovered about the film.
For example, did you know that in the scene where you first see Sharon Stone, all that jewelry she’s wearing weighed 45 pounds? Stone was apparently in agony every single time she shot those scenes because of an old back injury.  It was worth it though as the role earned her a best actress nomination at the 1996 Oscars.
Here are 19 facts you might not have known about the movie Casino.
Casino (1995) is based on the true story of two mobster best friends and a trophy wife who create their own gambling empire. It’s jam-packed full of violence, money, power and greed – and it is no surprise it now viewed as one of the world’s finest gangster films. Here are 10 Casino movie facts you must read.
1. The Real Mobsters
Characters were combined into a smaller cast, real places in Las Vegas were used and disguised (except when they weren't), and the plot was shortened. And there were so many details that 22 years later, the movie is still generating trivia lists. Find out more of the behind-the-scenes details of the production of Casino, at TVOM.

The film, released in 1995, was inspired by real people and, in large part, actual events. “Casino” is a funny, violent, eye-opening glimpse into the colorful history and culture of Las Vegas casinos, and the film has helped shape how many perceive Sin City, for better or worse. Picture of a mistake in Casino Royale (2006): Just after Vesper has shocked James, the lead connecting the defibrillator to the chest pad can be seen to have come loose. When the camera cuts back to James, the lead has been reconnected. Note this is after the shock, not the disconnected lead that forms the drama. Vote on your favourites and submit your own!

Remember the scene where Nicky (Pesci) visits Ace (De Niro) at his house to talk to Richard Rheil, the banker? Look at the photograph on the counter – as it is a picture of Lefty Rosenthal and Tony Spilotro, who are the real guys De Niro and Pesci are playing.
2. Continuity
As Robert De Niro’s character was a chain smoker, he always held his cigarettes the same distance from the lit end so the lengths never appeared to change on film.
3. Juggling
Frank ‘Lefty’ Rosenthal hated the scene where Sam juggles on his TV show, The Frank Rosenthal Show, maintaining that he never juggled and that De Niro’s scene made him look foolish.
4. The Jewellery Store
The Jewellery store owner who is robbed by Nicky’s boys was a real-life Las Vegas jeweller, and his line “I just got a shipment of diamonds from Israel” was not in the script.
5. James Woods
James Wood’s limes were mostly improvised. He was not supposed to speak at Ginger’s wedding scene, but came up with an idea that it would suit Lester’s character to be with a prostitute whilst doing cocaine when talking to Ginger on the phone.
6. Criminal Consultants
Martin Scorsese hired a number of real-life parolees from the same era as consultants. He also worked with F.B.I agents who had busted the same parolees.
7. Three-Hour Movie
Cinemas aren’t overkeen on lengthy movies, as it means less screenings and therefore less money. He was aware that the producers wanted it to be a three hour movie, but he ignored them anyway, saying it is a “fast three hour movie”.
8. Broken Rib
Pesci suffered a broken rib when De Niro threw his character through a glass door in Raging Bull. The injury led to Pesci breaking the same rib once again when filming the Casino scene where he is bundled into the cornfield hole with his dead brother.
9. The Costume Budget
The costume budget for Casino was a whopping $1 million, as Robert De Niro wore 70 different costumes, while Sharon Stone wore 30 vintage and bespoke outfits. The actors were also allowed to keep their costumes afterwards.
