The number of cigarettes Robert De Niro smoke in the 1995 movie Casino is not published.
To avoid the continuity problems that accompany a chain-smoking movie character, Robert De Niro always held his cigarettes the same distance from the lit end so that their lengths never appear to change.
If you were to rank all of Martin Scorsese's movies, no matter what criteria you used, Casino would probably be somewhere in the middle. Most people who love it don't love it more than, say, GoodFellas, and plenty of people don't love it at all.
In terms of box office, it's the director's 10th highest grossing film out of more than two dozen features. It earned just one Oscar nomination (for Sharon Stone), but several other Scorsese movies have received zero. Rotten Tomatoes scores for Scorsese films range from 45 to 100 percent; Casino sits at 80 percent. Yet it has a strong following.
Among IMDb users, only four Scorsese films rank above it. And let's be honest: many filmmakers would be lucky if their best work were as good as one of Scorsese's "mediocre" films. Here's an overflowing stack of information about the intense, funny, Vegas-scented Casino. Place your bets!
