Facts about
The movie's mostly historical accuracy also includes some of the real words spoken by those involved in the massacre. Frank Guesenberg's dying answer to the police officer's inquiry really was, "Nobody shot me. Leave me alone". George Moran really did exclaim to a reporter, "Only Al Capone kills like that." Capone responded to the press: "Only Moran kills like that. I mean, they don't call that guy 'Bugs' for nothing!"
For the massacre scene in the garage, the actors playing the slain gangsters were shown photos and directed as how to fall so their positions were identical to the real photos of the massacre. Two actors bumped together on the way down. After studying photographs they realized they had fallen and collided in the exact way the slain gangsters had fallen and had landed in the correct positions.
When "Bugs" Moran is leaving his hotel, just before the massacre, the clerk stops him and says "You have a call from a Mr. Bernstein in Detroit". "Bernstein" was the last name of the four brothers - Abe, Joe, Ray and Izzy - who ran Detroit's murderous "Purple Gang". The real George Moran and Al Capone used the Bernsteins to hijack other gangsters' liquor shipments from Canada. This fact is evident later when Moran complains to his bodyguards about Bernstein jacking up the price.
