When Vinny is trying to explain his "real name" to Judge Haller, he knocks over the judge's chess board. This was accidental but director Jonathan Lynn thought it was so funny and authentic he decided to leave it in the film.
The misunderstanding between Vincent Gambini and Judge Haller regarding the two "youts" was in fact a real conversation between Joe Pesci and director Jonathan Lynn. Lynn, who is British, at first had a hard time understanding Pesci's pronounced New York accent. He decided that the routine was quite funny and put it in the film.
The American Bar Association's publication, the ABA Journal, ranked the film #3 on its list of the "25 Greatest Legal Movies.
Director Jonathan Lynn actually has a law degree and insisted the film's legal proceedings be realistic. In fact, many attorneys and law professors have praised the film for its accurate depiction of trial strategy and courtroom procedure, especially with regards to presenting expert witnesses at trial. In fact, the film has been screened at some law schools to illustrate courtroom procedures.
Gambini's cross examination of Sam Tipton (grits), Ernie Crane (dirty windows), and Constance Riley (glasses) represents technically competent impeachment of the prosecutor's witnesses. Overall the film does an excellent job, though abridged and succinct, of representing the criminal judicial process.
"Mona Lisa Vito: You're goin' hunting? Vinny Gambini: That's right. Mona Lisa Vito: Why are you going hunting? Shouldn't you be out preparing for court? Vinny Gambini: I was thinking last night. If only I knew what he knows, you know? If he'd let me look at his files; oh boy. Mona Lisa Vito: I don't get it. What does getting to Trotter's files have anything to do with hunting? Vinny Gambini: Well, you know, two guys, out in the woods, guns, on the hunt. It's a bonding thing, you know; show him I'm one of the boys. He's not gonna let me look at his files, but maybe he'll relax enough to drop his guard so I can finesse a little information out of him. [searches through his clothes] Vinny Gambini: What am I gonna wear? Mona Lisa Vito: What are ya gonna hunt? Vinny Gambini: I don't know. He's got a lot of stuffed heads in his office. Mona Lisa Vito: Heads? [Vinny looks up at Lisa] Mona Lisa Vito: What kinda heads? Vinny Gambini: I don't know, he's got a boar, a bear, a couple of deer. Mona Lisa Vito: Whoa. You're gonna shoot a deer? Vinny Gambini: I don't know. I suppose. I mean, I'm a man's man, I could go deer hunting. Mona Lisa Vito: A sweet, innocent, harmless, leaf-eating, doe-eyed little deer. Vinny Gambini: Hey Lisa, I'm not gonna go out there just to wimp out, you know. I mean, the guy will lose respect for me, would you rather have that? [Lisa gets up, walks over to the bathroom and shuts the door] Vinny Gambini: What about these pants I got on, you think they're O.K.? [Looks down] Vinny Gambini: Oh! Mona Lisa Vito: [comes out of the bathroom] Imagine you're a deer. You're prancing along, you get thirsty, you spot a little brook, you put your little deer lips down to the cool clear water... BAM! A fuckin bullet rips off part of your head! Your brains are laying on the ground in little bloody pieces! Now I ask ya. Would you give a fuck what kind of pants the son of a bitch who shot you was wearing?"
"Vinny Gambini: It is possible that the two yutes... Judge Chamberlain Haller: ...Ah, the two what? Uh... uh, what was that word? Vinny Gambini: Uh... what word? Judge Chamberlain Haller: Two what? Vinny Gambini: What? Judge Chamberlain Haller: Uh... did you say 'yutes'? Vinny Gambini: Yeah, two yutes. Judge Chamberlain Haller: What is a yute? Vinny Gambini: [beat] Oh, excuse me, your honor... [exaggerated] Vinny Gambini: Two YOUTHS."
