Furio I'm glad you posted this. Love the movie, this scene especially. Ben Gazzara was AMAZING in this. One of the most underrated movies (maybe not in Italy) but I think it deserves to be much more popular. Giuseppe Tornatore's first major movie and one of his best.
Furio, another scene I love is the montage of the NCO-Camorra war, with people being killed almost every day, the movie shows it incredibly well.
The whole NCO/Cutolo saga is crazy and incredible. Imagine one guy in a US prison creating a prison gang and making it powerful enough to take on the entire 5 families... that's just so you guys can have an idea how powerful this guy and his organization were.
-I shot him a coupla' times. -What's a couple? -Hmm, more than a couple... Really I don't know the exact amount, maybe I shot him 10 times, 12 times? -Maybe fifteen? -Hmm, it could've been fifteen...
