I didnt check to see if this has aleady been covered (although I am sure it probably has, I am just too lay to wade thru all the pages to see).. but....

Is the Joey Zasa character (played by Joe Mantanga) supposed to represent Joe Colombo?? From my reading in Lebo's book about the making of The Godfather films Colombo headed the Italian-American League who was concerned about the portrayal of Italian-Americans and the use of the words Mafia and Cosa Nostra--he was also the head of the Colombo family at the time, and in GF3 this is the same thing that Zasa does? Just a thought....
