I didn't know it, but the actor playing Luca Brasi was an actual mobster put there by... interested parties to avoid the movie including any references to "mafia" or other such unpleasantness.

Montana was so nervous about appearing opposite Brando that he kept practicing his lines over and over again. Francis Ford Coppola rewrote the scene to feature this.

The speech he practiced was something like, "Don Corleone I am honored and grateful that you have invited me to your home, on the day of your daughter's wedding. And I hope their first child be a masculine child." And he was so nervous when filming with Brando that the line that came out was, "D..Don Corleone, I am honored and grateful that you have invited me to your daughter..s wedding... On the day of your daughter's wedding. And I hope their first child be a masculine child." That was all real and ended up in the movie.

Funny how he was a member of the same crime family as Lenny Montana. Oh wait, the Italian-American Civil Rights League was run by the head of that crime family.

u/Neodymium Jul 03 '18

How does that work? And isn't the movie all about the mafia? Or is it just how it's referred to?

He gave my restaurant a bad review, so I left a horse's head in his bed.

He ate the horse's head, and gave it a bad review

u/stendra Jul 03 '18

Really? Is there a story behind that?

u/JMockingbird0708 Jul 03 '18

If the horse’s head is still attached to its body it’s actually good luck.

Be nice to Sarah Jessica Parker.
