It's not the sharpness of the point that matters - as much as the speed and angle of attack associated with lethal intent.

Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci may finally be. Casino, Once Upon a Time in America, A Bronx Tale, and Raging Bull. As long as there is some neck stabbing pen action and a few “Are you.

It's more interesting to me to see a fountain pen being portrayed in our ballpoint era. There's a scene in Casino (1995) where Joe Pesci's character rebukes a bar patron's boorish behavior by stabbing him repeatedly with a fountain pen. That's got to be bad for the nib, but it wasn't his pen. Looked like a nice one, but again I can't say what. Another innocent pen becomes a weapon in a grisly but memorable scene from the Martin Scorsese movie Casino. Nicky Santoro, a hot-headed and violent mob enforcer played by Joe Pesci, watches over his childhood friend, Ace, who runs the Tangiers hotel.

It’s well known that The Sopranos was heavily influenced by Martin Scorsese’s remarkable run of gangster movies that started with 1973’s Mean Streets and culminated in 2019’s The Irishman. But what you might not remember is that two of Scorsese’s crime pictures served as the launching pad for two future stars of David Chase’s pioneering HBO mob drama. Michael Imperioli aka Christopher Moltisanti had a breakout role in 1990’s Goodfellas, while Steve Schirripa aka Bobby Baccalieri made a fleeting cameo in 1995’s Casino.

In a nice bit of timing, both of those movies are marking milestone anniversaries this fall: Goodfellas turns 30 on Sept. 19, while Casino celebrates 25 years as an underrated entry in Scorsese’s canon on Nov. 22. Speaking with Yahoo Entertainment earlier this year, the actors and off-screen pals — who are currently re-watching The Sopranos for their Talking Sopranos podcast — reflected on their respective Scorsese origin stories. (Watch our video interview above.)

Imperioli was only 23 when he landed a small, but memorable part in Goodfellas as Spider, a wannabe wise guy who is shot on two separate occasions by Joe Pesci’s trigger-happy Tommy DeVito: one time in the foot, and the second (and fatal) time in the chest. “I’d been struggling as an actor for about six years by then,” he recalls. “[Goodfellas] to me was like getting called up from the minors into the World Series with the Yankees. Those were my heroes. As an Italian-American actor in New York, that’s where you wanted to be.”

In Imperioli’s case, his heroes lived up to the hype. During his short time on set, the young actor got to appear in the same frame as experienced screen performers like Pesci, Ray Liotta and Robert De Niro, and take direction from Scorsese. “The thing I’m most grateful for is that they — particularly Marty because he was the boss — treated me like I belonged there,” he says now. “They treated me like an actor, and for that I’ll always be grateful.”

Imperioli also received a crash course in how freak accidents can, and do, happen on movie sets. In the scene where Spider is shot for the second time, the actor cut his hand on glass and had to be rushed to the ER for stitches. There was only one problem: He was still covered in fake blood and bullet holes that the hospital staff confused for the real thing. “The whole hospital staff was convinced I was about to die, and wouldn’t listen to me when I explained I was in a movie! Eventually they saw the wires and the squibbing and made me wait in the corner for four hours before they got to me and stitched me up. Then I went back and shot another take.”

In contrast, Schirripa’s time on the Casino set was mercifully accident free. At the time, the novice actor had been working in Las Vegas as the entertainment director of the famed Riviera Hotel, and hoped to land a role as a maître d in Scorsese’s Sin City epic, which reunited De Niro and Pesci. “I auditioned for [Scorsese] and De Niro,” Schirripa remembers. “You say hello to Robert De Niro, and he’s stuck for an answer!”

He didn’t get that part, but he was brought onboard as an extra for one 16-hour day of filming the scene where Pesci commits another violent act: stabbing a guy with a pen. “They said to get in the scene, so I yelled, ‘Joey, look out!’ Scorsese gave me some direction, but I was green and I didn’t really know. If you put the VCR in really slow and turn the volume way up high, you can maybe see and hear me.” Besides the memory of working with Scorsese, Schirripa walked away from Casino with an important building block for the rest of his career: his Screen Actors Guild card.

And in case there’s still any lingering doubt that David Chase was heavily influenced by Scorsese’s work, Imperioli points to a Goodfellas Easter egg that’s hidden in a Season 1 episode of The Sopranos, “The Legend of Tennessee Moltisanti.” In the sequence, Christopher pulls a Tommy DeVito by shooting a Spider-esque bakery clerk in the foot and says “It happens!” Eagle-eyed fans have long speculated that Chase wrote that into the script as a Goodfellas reference and Imperioli confirms those theories. “David thought it would be fun to make a direct reflection of Goodfellas there, without a doubt.” What a wiseguy.

Joe Pesci has made an art out of being a foul-mouthed, nasty guy. Whether it's in serious films like 'Raging Bull,' 'GoodFellas' or 'Casino,' or comic turns like 'My Cousin Vinny,' audiences love to see him being joyously mean to unsuspecting low-lifes, even if that involves stabbing a drunken jerk half to death with a ballpoint pen.

He follows this same formula in '8 Heads in a Duffel Bag,' the first movie since Sam Peckinpah's 1974 'Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia' to feature decapitated noggins as title characters. After all, who else but Pesci could get away with tossing an acid-tongued old lady out of a moving car and down an embankment? For laughs, no less.

In '8 Heads in a Duffel Bag,' written and directed by Tom Schulman, (who, believe it or not, wrote the screenplay for 'The Dead Poets Society'), Pesci plays Tommy Spinelli, a low-rent mobster who gives new meaning to the term 'bag man.' Though he has killed his share of 'scumbags' over the years, Tommy's final assignment before retirement is more delivery boy than butcher. All he has to do is fly the newly chopped heads to the fearsome Big Sep, so the top man can see for himself that the 'hit' has been carried out. Tommy has done work like this before, so he knows to plant a gun on the unsuspecting woman in front of him as he approaches the metal-detector at the airport, making it easy to slip the heads through during the commotion. But he's clearly never dealt with so many heads at one time, and when the stewardess makes him check his oversized duffel, Tommy's troubles are off and running.

As in a Hitchcock film, the innocent young man in the seat next to him picks up Tommy's bag by mistake and takes it down to Mexico, where he is meeting his girlfriend's family for the first time. Tommy quickly realizes what's happened and starts looking for the lost bag before Big Sep decides to add Tommy's head to the collection.

As long as Pesci is onscreen doing his 'You think I'm funny?' shtick, the movie works. In fact, it's hard to think of a single scene with Pesci in it that doesn't have at least one or two good-sized laughs. When he's offscreen, however, the movie quickly deflates, until it's about as funny as, well, a bag full of heads.

As Charlie, the kid who accidentally gets sucked into Tommy's violent world, newcomer Andy Comeau has some cute moments. But he has a tendency to mug, perhaps influenced by Dyan Cannon, who overplays the role of the mother to the nth degree. Much better are Kristy Swanson as the ambivalent girlfriend and George Hamilton as her obnoxious, overprotective father. As the film rolls on, it gets a tad confusing, as more heads are added to the mix, making it difficult to keep track of which heads are where. But when the remaining heads come together for a late-night song, it's clear that logic has been tossed out the window anyway.

Whether or not you enjoy this film will probably depend on your feelings about slapstick and bad taste. If you can imagine laughing at the sight of a packaged human organ, needed for life-saving transplant surgery, being kicked around the cabin of an airplane, you may find '8 Heads in a Duffel Bag' to your liking.

As for me, how could I not like a film that features the always annoying David Spade being tortured and whipped with a wet towel?
