I think the Galante hit was a pretty complex hit. In broad daylight in the middle of the summer they had to go through the restaurant and kill 3 guys. Granted Bonaventre and Amato were in on it but still . Agreed Galante, Castellano and Bilotti for that matter too. Live in the middle of rush hour in Midtown Manhattan....Thats fucking brazen! Over a dozen guys + extra conspirators also. Both big hits

What about the Anastasia hit? Another hit in Midtown Manhattan, but to kill the former head of Murder Inc in broad daylight seems quite brazen. I agree, it seems very planned, the way they caught him in the barber's chair.

Also the Joe Colombo hit with the killer disguised as journalist and the bodyguards that suddently whacked the shooter. Was an inside job. Furio, you're completely correct. I forgot about the Colombo hit. In truth that was probably the most well orchestrated hit on a mobster in the mobs history (except that IMO it wasn't the mob at all but the G). Highly sophisticated hit. So much so that it even defy's logic that it could be a mob hit! It had a planning more reminiscent of the hit on JFK, RK, of MLK..... not an underworld execution.

If you compare the style of the Colombo hit against any of those other "hits" they are eerily similar. And thats no joke. There has NEVER been a mob hit like that. period! Fair Enough!! I hate to ask, but would you put Frank Cali in the same weirdo class, as Colombo or JFK, RFK, MLK, etc.??
In Sicily, women are more dangerous than the shotgun.

The Cali hit, if you could even call it that, lol, had zero preparedness or sophistication. You wanna compare this deranged jerkoff "kid" pulling a handgun on a lonely street to shoot Cali, with the thousands of people witnessing a shooting against a mob boss (on camera no less), in clear daylight where both the shooter is immediately shot by persons unknown. The gun, camera, and his black female accomplice, etc., vanishing in thin air? And nobody to this day (nearly 50 years later knowing who pulled the trigger on J.Johnson, or who was TRULY behind the Colombo hit with Cali? Completely different circumstances. And THAT is the beauty of it all. Complete bedlam and confusion. The G is well known for that. The Mob is not!

As far as Cali, I meant more in line with RFK, some whacked out assassin claiming mind control or whatever made him do it. As well, as the cops or military industrial complex like angle being involved like JFK and RFK, nothing about being well planned or anything along those lines.

Colombo had been harshly critical of the law enforcement. I don't think they would have had much of a sense of humor about a mob boss accusing them of harassment.

No question in my mind. Has to be Giovanni Falcone in Palermo in 92. Used 400 kilo's of explosives under the motorway. Toto Riinas men carried out test drives, using flashbulbs to simulate detonating the blast on a speeding car, and a concrete structure was specially created and destroyed in an experimental explosion to see if the bomb would be powerful enough. I think there is nothing near the planning and detail in that offered up yet. That was military precision. I'm with Diamond joe on this one, Falcone was nearly impossible to get.

The coordination and size of that Falcone bombing was epic to CN. In America I'd say the previous named hits rank high
