in addition, the Lucchese Family was/is one of the Five crime Families in the syndicate, lead by The Commision.

If you pay attention, you get to know a character named Billy Batts. We know he is from the Gambino crew, also a made member. Gambino is another one of the Five Families. The Families worked apart,but also together.

This can be traced back as far as the early 1930's when The Commision was founded by a mobster called Lucky Luciano.

But I'm getting of track here.


Welcome to the boards, and I suggest you watch other great mob films too... to name a few:

Donnie Brasco
Casino
The Godfathers
Gotti (fair)
Road to Perdition
