Okay, I'm a newbie. Don't whack me!

Lenny Montana, played Luca Brasi. I always thought he was HOT!! Every time I saw him in GF1, I perked up. Born in Brooklyn, died in Italy from a heart attack. He was my kind of guy!!

I posted in another thread about the Soprano scene when Tony and Big Pussy were discussing Luke Abrasi! Tony set Big Pussy straight: Luca Brasi!!

Luca Brasi -- you never forget his name!!

is there a question in there somewhere or are you just making a statement?

Sorry, my neighbor was cutting down a tree outside my bedroom window with a chain saw and I have temporary insanity.

Does anyone remember the scene from the Sopranos when Tony and Big Pussy were discussing Luca Brasi? That's all. I still think he's hot!

OMG i kno, rite? lolol hez soooo fyne. srsly.

ok stupid question who is he ??? (i havnt watched da movie in a while

Silent: Your question is not stupid. Luke was the mentally retarded man in the wedding scene early on in the picture. He was employed by the Corleone's to clean the pool and strangle people.

Since this is my first post, let me say this. Ever notice the threadstarter has the name of Tony Soprano's, bless her heart, wacked-out sister . Having say that, be mindful of Luca, this guy got stories that would even unsettled the man, Vito Corleone, himself.

He is an intreging man....

I always thought it was Lou Cabrasi, hehe.

You need to read the novel. You'll find out more things about Luca.

Luca Brasi, hot??? Like, eww...

I don't see how people can think it's "Luke Abrasi" or "Lou Cabrasi"--at one point Brando even says "Luca".

I never knew there was ever a confusion with his name until I read this thread.

My friend's brother's name is Luca. lol

Janice and a Deaf Consig,

A great combo for the BB. Welcome. Lou Ka Bra See. You mean that scary man over there? The one talking to himself? My daughter got married last year and I was kinda glad no one came up to me and asked for a favor....even though I'm not Sicilian I would have felt obliged to grant it. After all we're not murderers.

Tell me, why do you think his shoes are so squeaky when he's walking down the hall (of the Edison Hotel) to meet his fate? Turnbull knows. Stayed tuned. There is so much to learn on the GREAT Gangster BB.

i wanna say ive heard this discussed before, but i may have to talk to turnbull first.

Hey Deaf -- I should have called myself "Janice Soprano." haha. I was named after a shoe store in Manhattan. My mother took me to see the store when I was able to comprehend anything besides "here's the milk." I should describe my early life in NYC, but where should I post? Okay, here's a tidbit! We lived in Astoria, Queens, and one day my mother told me that the local store had the windows shattered. I remember asking my mother why they had done that, she said the bad guys didn't get their money. She said it was graft, is that right?

Hey, if you were shoes and you were worn by an enormous guy like Luca, you'd squeak, too. Anyway, squeaking in this case is better than squealing...
