Mob Flick Death Collector Was Pesci's Debut
Frank Vincent sports a '70s 'fro in Family Enforcer , Joe Pesci 's film debut. Wanna watch Family Enforcer, the film that launched Joe Pesci's career? Robert De Niro allegedly viewed the B-flick and recommended that Martin Scorsese check it out. That's apparently how Pesci (and Frank Vincent, who also starred in the film) wound up in Raging Bull, then Goodfellas. Family Enforcer was originally named The Death Collector, and versions of the 1976 film can be found under either title. Amazon offers it as part of a double- and even triple-feature DVD for as little as $5 (with free two- day delivery for Amazon Prime members ). Grindhouse Releasing , which focuses on acquiring and distributing "classic" films (ie, shock horror ( Cannibal Holocaust ) and exploitation films) is preparing a new version of Family Enforcer for release as well.
