Santino was always doomed for a grissly end.
Look how they massacred my boy
That 4th punch misses by a mile!
When I say he got his ass kicked up AND DOWN the street…whew.
When I first saw the movie, I knew things would not go well for him when Don Corleone said,
“Give him a living, but never discuss the family business with him.”
Basically, Corleone knew he was shit but his daughter was in love with him.
This is such a perfect movie – I will never be able to get over that punch that so comically missed. How on earth that made the cut is beyond me.
That did not work out so well for Sonny in the end.
My dads favorite movie! Every thanksgiving we’d watch it, can’t believe he was okay with his kids watching a mob movie lol. RIP to James Caan 🤍
The part where Sonny bites his hand always cracks me up!
The Offer had a great take on this sequence. If youre half a Godfather fan, the show is fantastic.
Holy shit, that was him. I didn’t even realize until now.
I watched Eraser the other day, and as soon as I saw James Caan, I knew who the bad guy was.
Damn…this post is the first I’ve heard of his passing. My favorite role of his has to be Mississippi in El Dorado with John Wayne. RIP James Caan.
I met him when I was 14. I walked up to him, and said, “Excuse me sir, are you James Caan?” He said, “I use to be!” Everyone he was sitting with started laughing. Later, he was smoking a cigarette out side, and my dad made me go up to ask for a picture. He was really friendly, and even small talked with us for a bit.
Don’t nit-pick: one of the great beat downs in cinema history.
Rollerball!
But even, uh, a plant… uh, feels something.
It’s funny how this scene has both one of the most fake punches ever and a very rib-cracking real kick.
I love that Sonny pulls off Carlo’s shoe and smacks him in the head with it.
You have to answer for santino , Carlo
Caan improvised a lot of that scene and really roughed up Gianni Russo. Instead of being upset, Russo was actually proud of it and boasted, “I got beat up by James Caan!’
Rollerball (1970s version).
Cool film
He actually did beat the shit out of this actor. Everyone hated this dude. And Coppola knew it was happening
Thief absolutely rocked. The soundtrack by Tangerine Dream helped.
“Touch my sister again, I’ll kill ya.”
I’ve been in many fights and I can tell you first hand that I always look for opportunties to bite my opponent’s hand.
