Trivia

The story, written by Chazz Palminteri, is adapted from his autobiographical one-man play. His real name is Calogero Lorenzo Palminteri. When Robert De Niro offered to purchase the film rights, Palminteri refused to sell them unless he could write the screenplay and play the role of Sonny.

Some scenes were filmed at William Cullen Bryant High School in Long Island City.

Although it was "A Bronx Tale", virtually all of it was filmed in Astoria and Jackson Heights, Queens. It was easier to capture the period in those locations where many buildings from the 1950s still stood.

Goofs

When Sonny is telling Eddie Mush to be put into the bathroom, Calogero's head can be seen right next to Sonny, but in the next shot (which shows the whole room) when Mush is being pushed away, Calogero is nowhere to be seen.

The Beatles' "Come Together" is playing in Sonny's bar just before and during the "biker" scene. This song would not have been available on a jukebox, radio or anywhere else in 1968. It was not recorded until July 1969, and was not released until the fall of 1969.

It's supposed to be 1960 but the parking meters on the street where "c" lives are the new kind with the slits for coins rather than the slots. These parking meters did not exist until 1973.

Calogero 'C' Anello: It was great to be Catholic and go to confession. You could start over every week.
