All hilarious hell breaks loose in New York’s criminal underworld when Kid Sally (Jerry Orbach) leads a bunch of small-timers in a gang war against the Boss in The Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight. Based on the comic novel by Jimmy Breslin, the original story was inspired by the real-life exploits of Crazy Joe Gallo and his South Brooklyn gang. A pre-Mean Streets Robert De Niro co-stars as a kleptomaniac Italian cyclist. He got so deep into character he wound up arrested for shoplifting! Also featuring Burt Young, Jo Van Fleet and Herve Villechaize in memorable supporting roles.
