"Takes
Macho Gangster to a whole n'other level." "The
emphasis on family values is challenged by presence of horse's head." "Is
it a real horse in that bed? Could be. The father of all horse snuff movies. Perfect!" "Never
have there been more suits in a movie. The dry cleaning bill must have been enormous." "Lots
of wonderful shooting scenes, however, on closer look, some of these look like
mini explosive charges choreographed by director for effect. This is unfortunate,
no exploady heads! This would have made such scenes much more realistic (I refer
you to the Zapruder film your Honor)." "There
must have been pressure on Coppola to use those wonderful 1970's fashions and
hairstyles for this production. It could have added a whole new dimension to post
war gangsterdom, a bit like The Monkees but without the humor and singing." "If
I had a dead horses head in bed with me I wouldn't just sit there kneeling and
screaming I would have been outta there, had they glued him to the bed sheets
too?" "I
found the horses head bit slightly unbelievable. Would anyone have slept through
all that blood? I need an explanation." "All
these gangstas and no rap? Who's kiddin who here?" "The
first bitch slap I ever did see. By an Italian-American too, typical." "The
soundtrack is a veritable treasure trove of middle of the road munching music.
I think my local Italian restaurant has the CD. After a few bottles of wine I
will be singing along at full volume!" "Only
the briefest of Italian spoke and then subtitled. Personally I never trust subtitles
they could be talking about anything..." "...Then
they start talking in Italian with no subtitles at all! Thank goodness I had a
friend seven rows in front of me in the cinema to shout the translation back to
me." "The
Christmas scenes could mean that this film will be a staple of Christmas television
schedules for decades to come." "Nobody
bounces off a fender like Brando - the best example of fender bouncing in movie
history - young actors take notes." "Brando's
death in the tomato patch was one of his worst screen deaths ever. Thankfully
he drops to the ground mostly off screen with a tomato on his nose. I saw it coming
all along." |
