Title translation controversy The title Băieți buni (literally Good Guys) clearly refers to the two police officers. In Romania, people rushed to translate the title to Goodfellas, which, technically, is a correct translation. However, due to the connotation of 'mobsters' brought to this term by the 1990 Martin Scorsese picture, the Goodfellas translation is clearly a mistake.
