The film is based on the real-life experiences of FBI undercover agent Joseph D. Pistone.
The real Joe Pistone lived 'in the role' of a mobster for 6 years.
Joe Pistone spent a lot of time on the film set, helping the actors recreate the events depicted in the film.
To make his portrayal of Brasco more realistic, Johnny Depp had to take up bodybuilding.
Initially, Joe Pesci was considered for the role of Nicky.
At various stages of the film's development, the roles were initially offered to Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and Andy Garcia.
The extended version of the film lasts 147 minutes.
Currently, Joe and his family still live under the protection of the Witness Protection Program, and their location remains undisclosed.
The film implies that Lefty knew he would be killed before going to the meeting. In reality, his real-life counterpart Benjamin Ruggiero died of cancer in 1995.
For his demonstrated heroism, Joe Pistone receives a medal and a $500 bonus from the FBI. The Mafia announced a $500,000 reward for his murder.
