Cheaper still is this featurette
This is the shortest, and arguably most useless, of the four documentaries found on the second DVD of the 2-Disc Special Edition release of Goodfellas. It starts with a brief text introduction, after which it starts The entire thing consists of nothing but film clips, with text and/or little drawings, apparently done by Scorsese himself, that depict and/or describe the actions/occurrences, either also on the screen along with the footage, or "ghosted" over, meaning, see-through, not invisible, to display how close they were to how it ended up in the movie. Of course, that's all this is good for: Showing how close he stuck to how he had envisioned it. That point is made in four and a half minutes in this, which you can never quite shake the feeling is really just something they wanted to do, and couldn't make fit in one of the three legitimate productions dealing with the title. Editing is reasonable. The language is strong, and with how short it is, it winds up being fairly frequent. There is bloody, disturbing violence in this. I recommend this only to those who really want to watch everything that comes with purchasing, borrowing or renting the flick. 5/10
