Does Henry Hill kill anybody in Goodfellas?
I rewatched Goodfellas recently and afterwards I tried to think of anybody Henry Hill had killed, but I came up blank. Does Henry Hill kill anyone in the movie, either on screen, or implied?
Best Answer
As far as we know, no.
However he is very capable of violence:
And certainly an accessory to murder:
And while he doesn't complain much about the job of burying Billy Batts, he does seem to lose his appetite for home cooking with the mans freshly made corpse still in the trunk:
He was lucky he didn't have to kill anyone personally. The outfit may as well have ordered him to kill his best friend, just to make it easier to get the job done. Henry Hill was in for a penny and there's no telling when a pound is needed.

Who gets whacked in Goodfellas?
In Goodfellas, it happens just as Tommy walks into some low-rent room, realizing he's getting whacked rather than made. And the man who pulls the trigger is \u201cTuddy\u201d Cicero, played by Frank DiLeo. Tuddy is the brother of Paulie (Paul Sorvino), the outfit's boss. Tuddy doesn't play a big role in the movie.How does the movie Goodfellas end?
Like "Goodfellas," the silent film ends with a shot of one of the gang firing a revolver directly into the screen. Scorsese tells AFI he included the shot because "Goodfellas" and the "Great Train Robbery" are both representative of popular culture's fascination with outlaws.What Happened To Henry Hill After The Movie Ended? | Goodfellas Explained

Answer 2
Hill does not and cannot kill anyone during the course of the story.
Don't forget, this is a true story. The real Henry Hill didn't confess to murder -- he would have gotten a less cushy deal if he had -- and was still alive when the movie was released, so the movie couldn't portray him as having committed murder without the producers becoming the defendants in a libel suit they would very likely lose.
It is not impossible that the real Hill killed someone -- but since he hadn't 'fessed up and was not convicted, portraying him as a killer in 1990 was a practical impossibility.
