Another part they could have done a better job of explaining was the murder of Colombo. Unless you're a Board member, a viewer probably wouldn't understand why Colombo was even in the movie or Gallo's part in his murder.

Point well taken, Oli. Now there's considerable doubt that the Colombo shooting was ordered by Gallo.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
