Joe Pesci Made Bank as Vincent Gambino
Before Joe Pesci fully embraced his acting career, he was a lounge singer. Combining his passions for acting and music, Pesci released an album in character six years after My Cousin Vinny debuted. Titled *Vincent LaGuardia Gambini Sings Just for You*, the album features tracks like “Yo Cousin Vinny”, “Wise Guy”, and “Take Your Love and Shove It”, which is a duet with Marisa Tomei, reprising her role as Mona Lisa. The album was well-received, making a notable splash by debuting at No. 36 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart.
Vinny’s Tie is Always a Bit Off
Throughout “My Cousin Vinny”, there’s a subtle but amusing detail involving Vinny’s tie. Although Vinny sports a suit and tie throughout the film, his tie is never quite consistent. For instance, after Vinny’s successful court appearance, the D.A. congratulates him and mentions new evidence, but the tie Vinny is wearing in this scene doesn’t match the one he wore during the court scene. Additionally, during Mona Lisa’s testimony at the end of the trial, the knots in both Judge Trotter’s and Vinny’s ties change multiple times. This inconsistency suggests that various takes were filmed, or the ties were retied repeatedly. These minor quirks are easily overlooked amidst the film’s humor, but they add a charming layer of authenticity to the production.
