Kat666, it is in no way an insult to your beloved Australia. It's the fact that it's The Godfather. A Sicilian immigrant making his mark in organised crime in New York. Francis Ford Coppola the director made such an effort to get the set and mood accurate. If we heard The Godfather to be filmed in my country England the results of all these answers in this thread would be the same. I wouldn't even want it filmed here. It wouldn't be authentic enough.
