Nice touch to see the main character in a "gangster" genre 70years later paying homage in the manner in which it was done at the start of the third series of the show .
I for one was well impressed
Long live Tom Powers ............... not forgetting Rico either !!!!!
I thought Junior shoving a meringue in his girlfriend's face was also a tribute to the grapefruit scene... and such a great character thing for Junior to do. It would have been the most insulting gesture he would know to a woman he felt had disrespected him.
shareVery interesting point! I never thought of the connection with the Public Enemy grapefruit scene and Junior's scene with Bobbie in Sopranos.
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: There's an old Italian saying: you *beep* up once, you lose two teeth.
I watched all the Sopranos but don't recall what you are referring to. I know what others are mentioning about Uncle Jun putting the cake in the face of the woman because she blabbed to others about a "unspoken" oral sex technique he would employ. But what are you referring to?
shareIts been 4 years since I saw it at this stage but I do remember Tony sitting down on his own in his home watching Cagney in The Public Enemy and really enjoying it . nothing major really , just thought it was a nice touch at the time . HArd to believe Gandolfini no longer with us now
shareI love how Tony get's upset about the portrayal of the mother's relationship with her son Tom Powers in The Public Enemy, the complete opposite of Tony's relationship with Livia. A really poignant and personal moment for Tony.
Anthony 'AJ' Soprano Jnr. - "Drum solo!? It's the basic 4'4"
It was a major theme through an entire episode.
