With no explanation, label text_A→text_B with either "DON'T KNOW", "NO" or "YES".
text_A: Scorsese was initially reluctant to develop the project, though he eventually came to relate to LaMotta's story. Schrader re-wrote Martin's first screenplay, and Scorsese and De Niro together made uncredited contributions thereafter. Pesci was already a famous actor before appearing in the film, as was Moriarty, who Pesci recommended for her role. During principal photography, each of the boxing scenes was choreographed for a specific visual style and De Niro gained approximately to portray LaMotta in his later post-boxing years. Scorsese was exacting in the process of editing and mixing the film, expecting it to be his last major feature.
text_B: If someone recognized Joe Pesci from his other movie roles, could this passage lead them to believe that films such as Goodfellas or My Cousin Vinny were released prior to Raging Bull?
YES.
