At the Everything is Festival screening of “Triple Fisher,” Joey agreed to answer any and all questions from the audience.  Here are just a few of the amazing things that Mr. Buttafuoco told the audience:

1. Joey’s brother, Bobby Buttafuoco, is a world champion arm wrestler (hence the arm wrestling scene in “Casualties of Love”).

2. The Buttafuocos received $350,000 for the rights to their life story from CBS.

3. Joey was in jail with the Long Island Rail Road mass murderer Colin Ferguson, and Joey punched him in the face when the guards weren’t looking.

4. The reason that Joey pleaded guilty to the statutory rape charge was because Rupert Murdoch paid him $500,000 to go to jail and give Fox the exclusive story. (This makes no sense to me.)

5.  Joey really did snort dirty rain water that he scooped up from a puddle on the ground to wash down the cocaine in his nostrils, as depicted in “Triple Fisher.”
