I amuse you" line to Ray Liotta was filmed. Could that be?? As far as I knew Hawaii Kai closed in the 80s...maybe the late 80s perhaps? 'Goodfellas' came out in 1990 so it is entirely possible that they could've filmed there in say '88 or '89. At that point I had already been living here in the city for a few years. DAMN! I was that close to being there? I probably passed by it a few times....and NEVER knew! F*CK!!!!!
