In the Epic there's a scene that takes place during the communion celebration. It's sandwiched between the Geary meeting and Kay running after Tony.
Rocco and some of the guys are standing between two cars and Rocco appears to be balling out another wiseguy about something. Rocco appears rather animated. It's an odd scene because it has no explanation and doesn't fit in with any other scene. Any ideas?
I remember that scene well, oli. It seems that anyone in charge of a group of people is eventually going to have to kick some butt. The underling most likely screwed something up (dinged a VIP's auto, was rude to a member of law enforcement, etc?) resulting in reprimand.
As discussed in many threads, there were obvious differences between the opening celebrations of GF1 & GF2. In the first movie, the FBI at the wedding were spit at, cursed at and treated poorly. At the communion party, the lawmen appeared to be treated like guests. The Troopers were served drinks and sandwiches even appearing to be another level of Michael's security.
Interesting how Sonny was biting at the Feds in GF1 and Rocco was biting at his guys in GF2. That's what I took away from that Rocco chewing out scene.
Of course, it's difficult not to offer some sarcastic scenarios...
One of the underlings accidently groped Deana during her & Fredo's arrival. Deana begged Rocco for the man's phone number?
Rocco was chewing out the guy who was driving the car that picked Connie up at the airport - a week ago. Hey, there was no Uber back then. Maybe he got lost?
Rocco was chewing out the guy because he forgot to pick up the over-sized check at Staples for the photo op with Senator Geary and Michael Car-lee-on.
