3Strike Three! - Casino (1996)

Firebrand mob-midget Nicky (Joe Pesci) has pushed the bosses too far. So they dupe him and his brother into a deserted cornfield meet and systematically smash them up with baseball bats.

Not at the same time, mind. Bro' goes first as sideshow for the restrained Nicky. Then he gets the clunk-and-crunch treatment...

"I'm just depicting that way of life," said Scorsese. "That's the way it really ends - your closest friend smashing you in the head with a baseball bat. Not even a gun. Not cutting your throat. You're still going to be breathing when they put the dirt on you. If you want to live that lifestyle, that's where you're going to go."
