I thought that was really cheesy. They could've omitted the scene and just shown Tony discussing Livia's airline ticket testimony coming up at trial with Carmella, his lawyer, or whoever. If the purpose was to show us Tony's last words with his mother, it could've been re-told by Tony to whoever at the funeral. But the way they chose to do it was really unimaginative and completely transparent. It reminded me of the "Einsteins" who tried to complete Bruce Lee's project, Game of Death, after Bruce had passed on. Actual footage from that film amounted to something like 15%. The rest of it was long shots of other actors, and clips of Bruce from previous flicks. It was sooooo bad, man. The only one I can think of that was completed posthumously and done tastefully was The Crow (starring Bruce's son, Brandon), and even in that there was little that had to be done.
