Director Martin Scorsese told him that he wanted both to see and to hear De Niro's nose break, so Westmore constructed a kind of teetertotter proboscis for De Niro that popped when it was hit in the big fight scene. Seven tiny tubes were also attached to the star's face, and when the fake nose went bang, Westmore, who was on the other end of the tubes, began pumping...
