- Whether Mookie threw the trash can to save Sal or out of rage is unanswerable; both can be argued, given his fealty to Sal as a kind of third son and the sense that someone has to pay for the death.
- Pino is angry because he tried to step to a black girl and was rejected; Vito is not mad.
- Asked how long it took Mookie and Sal to patch things up, given later Lee films, the answer is that they never did: he needed a job and Sal needed a delivery person.
- Mother Sister and the mayor had been together before and probably spent the rest of their lives together, after she made him shower.
- Tina and Mookie did not stay together.
- Was Sal's pizza good? The pizza looks like clay; the story told is that the tight budget left only two pizzas and Turturro could not cut through them.
- One participant would not eat Sal's pizza.
