Update

In Raging Bull, Scorcese regular Frank Vincent (Salvi) receives a brutal beating courtesy of Joe Pesci. 10 years later, Mr. Vincent gets another beating from Pesci following the regrettable decision of telling him to "go get his shine box" in Goodfellas. However, in Scorsese's Casino (1995), Mr. Vincent finally got his revenge, beating Pesci to a pulp with a baseball bat.

Update

Actress Teresa Saldana, who played Joe Pesci's wife, was almost killed when she was attacked with a knife by a deranged fan shortly after Raging Bull was released. Injuries sustained in the attack severely derailed her promising film career.
