Over the course of his roughly 40-year career Robert De Niro has played nearly a dozen different gangsters. (And that’s not counting movies like Mean Streets and A Bronx Tale, in which De Niro brushes up against the mob but is not a made man himself.) This week he stars as a goodfella yet again in The Family, which got us thinking: How well can we tell all of De Niro’s gangsters apart?
Below you’ll find eight different threats made by seven different Robert De Niro wiseguys. Making things a little easier, you won’t see quotes from his obscure early roles in The Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight and Bloody Mama. Can you match the gangster with his threat?
