That movie was probably one of the best training aids for the twenty some odd federal gun cases I have been involved in.


I have even seen very similar moments in real cases...  No Shit.

How did Vinny get down there so fast?  They arrive in town before the boys have even been taken to the State Pen because the jail is condemned.

Marissa Tomei is still gorgeous and a good actress, too bad we don’t see her in more roles.

In the 90’s though, total hottie.

Fred Gwynne's last role.  He went out on top.

RIP.  You were funny as hell.

Read somewhere that movie is actually referenced in trial courses for lawyers. Was fairly realistic in some ways, especially how he hooked in the jury.

All the time. I actually use a clip in one of the courses I teach.

Yes, same here.  I didn't remember that until you mentioned it.

Ahh... in Tarrant County, they run a video with clips from My Cousin Vinny and Liar Liar... maybe a couple of others.  It is at least entertaining...

My evidence professor was a federal prosecutor and used to use this judge as an example of how real federal judges are in court - since you can't watch videos or listen to audio of federal court proceedings. Now that professor is a federal judge. And he was actually pretty spot on. They don't fuck around, and also don't have a sense of humor.

Good movie. I think I quoted it once in a closing argument, but I can't recall what I said.

Great flick.  I like to show clips of it when I teach Criminal Evidence classes.  And I would have disappointed Marisa Tomei so hard....

Wife's an attorney and she says some of the courtroom scenes are used to show young attorneys how things are done.
