I just saw the clip of Brasi’s horrendous death. That Art Deco bar-was it a real location? I would like to visit it…if it exists-was it filmed on location in NYC?
BTW, was Luca’s hand still pinned to the bar when they strangled him?
Apparently in the movie they identified the location as the Hotel Edison in Manhattan and used the exterior of that hotel. But the interior bar scene was filmed at the Hotel St. George in Brooklyn Heights.
Yes. It hampered his ability to fight back.
It was ‘the Turk’, Vigil Solotso that knifes his hand to the bar. Remember earlier before their first meeting Tom Hagan says that “He’s supposed to be good with a knife but only when necessary”. Even so it still takes all his strength to keep Brasi’s arm pinned down while he’s being garroted.
