Hello!
I've recently watched the three parts of the Godfather and I fell in love with those films. Nine of the best hours spent ever! Naturally, I bought the DVD collection and searched for sites about that marvellous saga. And I found myself here! smile

Anyway, my question is - and I hope it's not off-topic... confused
Everyone pronounces Luca Brasi's name "Brahtzi". In Italian, it was supposed to be written "Brazi" to be pronounced that way... was there a mistake in the way the actors pronounced his name? Or am I hearing things? tongue

"...Luca Brasi held a gun to his head and my father assured him that either his brains or his signature would be on the contract. That's a true story. That's my family, Kay. It's not me."
(Michael Corleone)

Yeah i would say brasi as well.

The Mafia Is Not Primarily An Organisation Of Murderers.
First And Foremost,The Mafia Is Made Up Of Thieves.
It Is Driven By Greed And Controlled By Fear.

Between The Law And The Mafia, The Law Is Not The Most To Be Feared

"What if the Mafia were not an organization but a widespread Sicilian attitude of hostility towards the law?"

In the first episode of The Sopranos, Christopher called him "Lou Cabrazzi", and Big Pussy corrected him.

For years, my huusband also thought his name was Lou Cabrazzi. In the book, however, it is spelled Luca Brasi.
