Vinnie changes his story on Judge Haller in accordance to his so called “legal” name in order to stay on the case. He later changes his story again when the judge asks him about the name saying he misheard him. However this is done for comedic effect and is not presented in a malicious way.

Discussed hypothetically. To paraphrase and summarize: "You're asking me to help you decide what pants to wear for deer hunting??? Imagine how sad the deer is gonna be when you shoot him! Do you think he'll care what pants you're wearing?"

No but it hangs as a looming threat and source of stress. Vinny is trying to get a pool shark to pay up and talks big game about beating him up. (Played for laughs because he obviously doesn't stand a chance.) Eventually near the end, he gets annoyed enough by other events to tackle the guy almost as an afterthought. The scene cuts away immediately, but Vinny is implied to have won.

No sexual assault happens, but like the other comment said, it’s used as a joke that the dude thinks he’s gonna be assaulted but he was never actually in danger of being assaulted

in the beginning of the movie, the clerk is shot(we don't see it) but we do see his dead body on the ground. the second time you never see it or even meet the character, but there are protesters outside the prison trying to stop them from using the electric chair on a guy named Norton. in a later shot in the prison, the lights flicker and a character says something like "looks like that guy Nortons gone"

There's an unfortunate stuttering joke, but the actor used to have a stutter and has since said he regrets doing the scene that way.

The transistor of a car is referred as a tr*nnie, which is also a transphobic slur, though it's not used as one.

I don't believe it's addressed in the dialogue, but Vinny and Mona Lisa Vito are played by actors with a large age gap.

Idk why people said no, the main plot of the movie is caused by a dude getting shot and killed, but we don’t see the shooting happening so maybe that’s why
