Bugsy

In Virginia's "fear of flying" scene at the airport, there is an airplane hangar with a sign for "Mobil" attached to it.

The "Mobil" design seen was not introduced until the late 1950s.

The movie is set in the mid-1940s, and the design that would have been used at that time was Mobil's logo of a white shield with large red Pegasus (flying horse) trademark and the name "Mobilgas" in black.

The smoke coming from the candles on the birthday cake disappears and reappears between shots.

After Siegel (allegedly) murders Greenburg, and as the car containing him and Virginia Hill begins to pull away, you can see in the right rear fender the reflections of two people.

One is easy to identify as a human figure, the other looks like someone is possibly hunched over.

The cars in this film were very authentic except for the 1948 black Lincoln continental in 1944 After Bugsy's house has been sold to finance the Flamingo Club, he takes another look at his "screen test".

He's at Virginia Hill's mansion, but he looks at the film in the projection room of his old house.

In the scene where Virginia is shooting all the ammo in Bugsy's.

45 pistol, when the last round is fired the slide should stay in the "open" position rather then the "closed" position which it stays in.

The film takes several key historical liberties, especially with the Flamingo and Bugsy's dealings with his fellow mobsters.

Harry Greenberg was in fact murdered in November 1939, not in 1945 as depicted in this film.

In the scene where Bugsy is viewing an outdoor patriotic rally through a basement window, all the American flags are hanging incorrectly.

They are displayed with the blue fields in their upper right corners, when in fact the fields should be in the upper left corners.

On opening night at the Flamingo when Ben is called back to Los Angeles; Mickey Cohen is in the casino.

After Ben arrives in L.

, Mickey (apparently) drives him from the airport to the house.

When Virginia Hill is being dragged by Ben in the "Fear of flying " scene she is wearing white shoes.

When she arrives in the old casino wearing the same dress and hat, she is now wearing dark colored shoes.

When "selling" the concept of Las Vegas to the other mobsters, Bugsy states that "when Hoover Dam opens up", there will be power for air conditioning.

The scene takes place in the mid 1940's and Hoover Dam had already been producing power since the late 1930's.

Most Critics Loved or at least Liked this Overrated Movie with multiple Oscar Nominations and two Wins, a strong Cast and a good Director. It looks Fantastic and the Period is perfect.

What Godfather made us learn about the consequences of ignoring the code of the family, Bugsy reduces into the context of relationships. You may be tough, virile, and charming, but you are who you are only as long as you are with who you are!

My review title tells you. Normally I love anything Warren, including Dick Tracy but this is not a Jewish man, his anger was Irish, his demeaner Native American/Los Angeles, his boyish charm eliciting the sympathy of a Leave It To Beaver Show where we see the Beave work out problems on his own and we, with him.

From this movie, you would think Bugsy Siegal invented Las Vegas all by his lonesome with the building of the Flamingo in 1944 in the dessert of Nevada. Las Vegas had been founded as early as 1844, being incorporated as a city in 1905.

"Bugsy" was a major player at the Academy Awards in 1992, with 10 nominations in a variety of categories, including Best Picture. The biopic of noted gangster Benjamin 'Bugsy' Siegel featured recent Oscar winner Barry Levinson in the director's chair and certified star Warren Beatty in the title role.

I'm not sure I understand why they keep making films about creeps like this. Sure, it was well acted, but so what?

Before I put my reviews I used to read the main comments to don't resemble a copy or something alike, although I'd realize that a pattern here, who gave the best reviews weren't recognized as useful, what's the reason, most probable for those haters whose didn't like the movie, whatever we will write always have somebody else who is fed up and often will gave to you a negative vote, Bugsy apart all inconsistence implied in the movie is really a highest class production, Warren Beatty portraits the rough mob gangster in plenty way on late thirties when he arrives at Los Angeles, there he is witched by eye candy Virginia Hill (Annette Bening), she was sexy, haughty and of course a t.ramp, Harvey Keitel plays Mickey Cohen a superb and fearless crook as his second in command, Ben Kingsley plays magnificently Meyer Lansky a mastermind of the entire Mob together with Luciano (Granham), the picture makes a surreptitious reference to the actor George Raft treats as "George" played by Joe Mantegna, Bugsy Siegel was a true visionary man when perceived a huge potential on Las Vegas, Nevada, where no tax to pay at upscale Casino-Hotel and others related dirty activities in American ground which will be a clean business, however Bugsy is presented as megalomaniac and smirking a bit fanciful mobster, he is easily mesmerized by Virginia Hill, in the ending a few notes was added to expose some additional info over such bold enterprise and the true story, directed by the eclectic Barry Levinson!!

A bid for "Godfather"-like immortality, "Bugsy" is an overly melodramatic mess that lurches from episode to episode featuring uncharacteristic overacting from both Warren Beatty and Annette Bening. One would hope a sensitive director would highlight the emotional hot spots from hopeless romantic James Toback's screenplay but Barry Levinson approaches this project with a dismaying literalness that makes certain sections utterly embarrassing (particularly the scenes focusing on Elliott Gould's half-wit, which seem directly lifted from Steinbeck).

New York gangster Benjamin 'Bugsy' Siegel takes a business trip to Los Angeles. A sharp- dressing womaniser with a very short fuse, Siegel doesn't hesitate to hurt or kill anyone crossing him.
