Donnie Brasco

The shaving cream on the man who gives Donnie the thumbs up.

Many '90s models cars and trinkets visible.

Maggie is shovelling snow and complaining that the temperature is freezing at the same time that Lefty and Donnie are reading 'John Wayne (I)' (qv)'s obituary.

Wayne died in June 1979.

Pistone's hair in between kissing his wife and going up the stairs.

The scene at the airport hangar shows a Continental plane with a 1990s-era logo.

Set in the late 1970s, features the modern logo for Northwest Airlink.

Also visible in the background is the modern National Debt Clock.

When Pistone is feeding his girls eggs for breakfast, a Tuscan milk carton from the '90s is seen in the background.

Early on in the film, Neil Diamond's song 'Love on the Rocks' can be clearly heard playing in the background, in fact one of the card players in the scene sings along.

'Love on the Rocks' was not released until 1980.

The amount the window of the car is rolled down while Donnie and Lefty are feeding the lion.

Maggie's cap changes when she enters the house after shoveling snow.

When Pistone first meets Lefty about diamonds at the bar, Lefty's arm goes from resting on the counter to being by his side between shots.

The Jif peanut butter moves counter clockwise in the cabinet when Donnie Brasco is fixing the items in his house early on in the movie.

When about to board the boat "The Left Hand" a sign with gas prices can be seen that are obviously from the 1990s.

When the crew is on the boat in Florida it is daytime but the shot of the women dancing on the deck is obviously sunset and then it goes back to daytime when Donnie and Lefty are talking.

When Sonny Black gets sent for, he's smoking a cigarette, then throws it on the floor.

AS he walks off in the next shot, the cigarette is no longer there.

Early in the movie, when Donnie is called to get out of the car, he turns off the engine, the windscreen wipers are almost vertical.

In the next shot, they are half-way down.

When Donnie is first introduced to the wise guys standing out in the cold, a Lincoln town car pulls up.

When it stops it's a Lincoln mark 6 When Lefty confronts Donnie about The Left Hand being a federal boat, the.

38 revolver he brandishes points to the camera, and the blocked barrel is clearly visible.

During a conversation between Lefty and 'Donnie', Lefty complains that the temperature is only 10 degrees.

If this were so, his breath would be visible.

In the swimming pool scene, Donnie wears a golden chain that appears and disappears between shots.

When Donnie is in Florida and one of the characters is reading a story in the paper about the death of John Wayne it is winter in New York.

John Wayne, however, died in June of 1979, not during the winter.

"Sawhorse" style traffic safety barricades in 1970's New York were pieced-together out of wood (in the manner of real sawhorses) and then painted yellow or orange - sometimes with stripes.

In a street scene, the film shows a white cast-plastic model with applied reflective-tape orange stripes.

These came into use in the mid 1990's.

When Joe/Donnie is shooting on the firing range, the second shot seen on screen ends without the pistol's action returning to firing position because the magazine is empty, but the shot cuts to the target, which is immediately struck by more shots.

When Brasco is first seen driving his DeVille Cadillac it is a 2 door coupe.

In later scenes it is a 4 door Sedan and, again later, it is back to the 2 door Coupe.

When Brasco is attempting to call his wife and she had the number disconnected, we see he is dialing area code 212, which is a Manhattan area code.

But according to the story Pistone lives in New Jersey and the area code for Clifton New Jersey at the time was 973.

When Brasco is attempting to call his wife and she had the number disconnected, we see he is dialing area code 212, which is a Manhattan area code.

But according to the story Pistone lives in New Jersey and the area code for Clifton New Jersey at the time was 201, not 973 as listed above.

At the begining of the movie when the 'Big Boss' arrives he is pulling up in a black Lincoln.

From the front first shot the Lincoln a much older model than the model that is in the next shot from the side as the car pulls up to the curb.

The front turn signal lights can be seen as an older model Lincoln and a much new Lincoln.

When Santo Trafficante is on the boat talking to Sonny Black, and says"You gotta show a little respect, ay?" His mouth does not match the words he is saying.

In the garage scene when Donnie is talking to Maggie in the garage and hes explaining how the job is eating him alive, when the camera pans to Johnny Depp if you look to your upper left hand you will see 2 Hess trucks clearly, one is from 1994 and the other is from 1995.

Also not when krylon paint came out, but it is clearly seen in the garage as well.

The nickname of Al Pacino's character is "Lefty," which generally indicates that the eponymous person is left-handed.

Towards the very end of the film (probably around the time he takes off his jewelry and leaves for the last time), "Lefty" uses his right hand in a way that only a right-handed person would.

When Donnie first visits Lefty at his apartment, Lefty is watching TV with modern VHS blank tapes surrounding the TV set from the 1990's.

When a book is being adapted on the big screen, or the little screen, the director does his or her own version onto the screen. The Donnie Brasco film is somewhat 97% Hollywood and only 3% of the book.

There are already 282 reviews for the film Donnie Brasco. So what is there that is new that I can tell you about it ?

I disagree with those who say that this movie is good only because of Al Pacino and Johnny Depp. Of course they made this film better, but what I liked the most about this film was the story and direction.

An FBI undercover agent infiltrates the mob.Starring Johnny Depp and Al Pacino.

'Donnie Brasco' makes a worthwhile contribution to the Mob genre. While it may not sit on the pantheon alongside 'The Godfather' and 'Goodfellas', it bridges a frequently overlooked dichotomy of lawmen and lawbreakers, dividing the viewer's loyalties.

Johnny Depp is superb. Although quite cheesy I love the 70s and 80s reference and Madden is awesome.

I loved the way that Al Pacino played Lefty and the friendship he formed with Donnie.Although, I would like to see Donnie and Lefty at the end together and continue their business.

At first I couldn't wrap my head around why this movie has a rating over 7 - it seemed as it was made by someone who wanted to make a mobster movie but hasn't ever watched one - just had someone vaguely tell him what's the point of them and the style they're presented in. At first I was of course how clean Johnny Depp looked - he sure didn't have a gangster vibe onto him.

The only problem with this film is that it says 1978, but it's clearly 1983.
