The long tracking shot through the Copacabana nightclub came about because the filmmakers couldn't get permission to go in the short way, forcing them to go around the back. Martin Scorsese decided to film the sequence in one unbroken shot in order to symbolize that Henry's entire life was ahead of him. "It's his seduction of her (Karen), and it's also the lifestyle seducing him". This sequence was shot eight times.
