Al Pacino loved being able to use all of the rich Mafia slang throughout the film. Writer Paul Attanasio captured mob dialect so accurately, because he had Joseph D. Pistone's wire taps.
In an interview, Joseph D. Pistone said that he didn't see his family for at least two years while he was undercover.
Al Pacino was originally going to play Brasco. When he switched to Lefty, he recommended Johnny Depp.
Joseph D. Pistone claimed that the movie is 85 percent accurate. "It portrayed the mob the way it is."
The family scenes were shot last. According to Mike Newell, "It was like making a different movie."
"Lefty: [standing next to Donnie's car at night] There's the boss. And, under him, there's the skipper. You know how this works? Donnie Brasco: Yeah, it's like in the army. Lefty: Bullshit. The army is some guy you don't know telling you to go whack some other guy you don't know."
"FBI Technician: [sitting on the floor of a motel room, reserved for the FBI] What's "Forget about it"? Donnie Brasco: " [lying on the couch] Donnie Brasco: Forget about it" is, like, if you agree with someone, you know, like "Raquel Welch is one great piece of ass. Forget about it!" But then, if you disagree, like "A Lincoln is better than a Cadillac? Forget about it!" You know? But then, it's also like if something's the greatest thing in the world, like, "Minghia! Those peppers! Forget about it!" But it's also like saying "Go to hell!" too. Like, you know, like "Hey Paulie, you got a one-inch pecker?" and Paulie says "Forget about it!" Sometimes it just means "Forget about it.""
