Good call. Luca was very funny and cool. Dumb as a brick but incredibly loyal and humble before the Don.

I have always wondered, did the Don knowingly sacrifice him? I always felt like he knew he was going to be killed.

p.s. I have seen that movie a million times and still wonder.

Solozzo is a great character. Guy knew what would happen if he failed, and took his shot anyways. He had balls.

He really doesn't get enough credit. I mean, if it wasn't for him, Sonny would have screwed everything up by trying to kill all the heads of the families. The Corleones could not have handled that and would have lost bad. Tom explains that the hit on Vito was business not personal. And if it wasn't for Tom, Michael doesn't kill solozzo and mcclusky. Hell, Tom would have made a better Don than Sonny.
