Italian boss (spoilers)


Any ideas about why Aniki did not kill the boss of the Italian mafia???????
Why he let him go away?

Thank you!

reply

I'm guessing it was so he'd give away Aniki/Yamamoto's location... Don't see how else the mob would have known he was at that diner.

reply

Because, he had no desire to live but he wanted to save the other guy by not killing the boss. After killing Aniki, Italians thought they finised them.

reply

Yah, he wanted the Italians to think that he had killed Denny so that Denny could be free.

reply

It seemed to me the killers at the limos where Japanese. In any case asian. Unless my pcTV has really crap resolution can someone verify this?
If they were indeed asian then I just don't get the ending.
If they weren't, don't bother explaining. (And I should stop watching movies with my TVtuner)
Cheers.

reply

Where did you get the idea that they were Japanese?
You didnt see their faces. They were Italian Mafia hitmen. (thus they were probably American Italian, or Sicilian)

reply

The whole purpose of Aniki travelling to the USA
is to die as a gangster

reply

I don't understand letting Denny run away and making the Italian Boss think he's dead, did he even know who he was? he just could of been any random black guy to him working with the Japs?

reply

"Did he even know who he was?"
Lol. Not more than 5 minutes before the Mafia had killed his mother.
