Donnie Brasco movie hidden details
When Lefty comes out of the airport hanger holding a lion on a chain-leash, Donnie gets behind cover using the car door. This is a common police maneuver when a suspect comes out of cover while armed. Basically, Joe let his cop show a bit when he got scared.
The waitress at the beginning of the movie (Gretchen Mol) is later seen accompanying Sonny Black in Florida.
(1997), Which supposedly takes place in the late 70s/early 80s, has the expiration dates on the cereal boxes in the cabinet blacked- out so you can't really tell what date the Christmas scene appears...
It is mentioned that if Lefty dies it's as good as Donnie pulling the trigger himself. When it's implied that Lefty gets shot (by other gang members) the scene cuts to Donnie shooting in a firing range. This symbolizes how Donnie was the reason Lefty got killed.
