Notes
Trivia: The misunderstanding between Vincent Gambini and Judge Haller regarding the two "utes" was in fact a real conversation between Joe Pesci and director Jonathan Lynn, who then decided that it should be added to the movie's script. (more)

Goofs: Boom mike visible: During the final courtroom scene as Mona Lisa Vito is being dismissed from the stand by the judge, the shadow of a boom mike can be seen moving around on the wall above the judge. (more)

Quotes:
D.A. Jim Trotter: Ms. Vito, what is your current profession?
Lisa: I'm an out-of-work hairdresser.
D.A. Jim Trotter: An out-of-work hairdresser. In what way does that qualify you as an expert in automobiles?
Lisa: It doesn't.
