    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    from my memory and from what i've read there is no literal translation for Mafia or Mafiosi... whereas Cosa Nostra is a more 'modern' tag they have used.... "our thing" = La Cosa Nostra, but no-one really knows where or how the word "mafia" was born...

    I think some Sicilian playwright was the first to use it in print, but its one of those weird Italianisms where they create words and monikers for things.

    great movie on the Vegas side of things are Casino (very under-rated Scorsese in my view) and Bugsy is a good film...

    Did they use Chicago to film The Untouchables?

    Casino is one of my favorite moveis of all time. 100% true story and all involved where from the chicago mob.

    joe pesci played Anthony Spilotro. one of the most ruthless killers of all time born and raised in Chicago

    yes Chicago was used to film the untouchables. another great movie..

    Yep! It's hilarious. I daren't post the whole of it. May cause offence. But it is a quality scene.
