Mafia! Summary
MPAA Rating: PG13
Director: Jim Abrahams
Genres: Comedy
Rating:
Satirist Jim Arahams returned with this comedy spoofing the Godfather trilogy, and other films and TV, including Jurassic_Park, Lord of the Dance, and Barney. The opening emulates a Saul_Bass sequence with Anthony Cortino (Jay_Mohr) in a flight amid flames much like Robert_De_Niro in the Casino credits. After flashbacks go back in time to Sicily, Coppola/Scorsese references abound. Young Vincenzo (Jason_Fuchs) travels to America to later become the clumsy chief of organized crime (with the late Lloyd_Bridges as the aging Vincenzo) with his sons -- short-fused Joey (Billy_Burke) and educated Anthony. Tony's WASP fiancee is Diane (Christina_Applegate), recalling Diane_Keaton in the Coppola films. During the wedding, assassins try to do away with Don Vincenzo, who's hospitalized, so Tony sets out to gain revenge for the murder attempt. In Vegas, Tony gets involved with showgirl Pepper (Pamela_Gidley). When betrayals begin, can violence be far behind? This was Lloyd_Bridges' final movie, and the film is dedicated to him.
