The Godfather: Santino \'Sonny\' Corleone (James Caan)

Comments for death : The Godfather: Santino \'Sonny\' Corleone (James Caan).

Sonny does NOT beat his wife. What actually happens is his brother-in-law, Carlo, beats his sister. Earlier in the film upon learning what Carlo has been doing, Sonny tracked his ass down and beats him within an inch of his life, warning him never to hurt his sister again. Then he gets a call from her saying Carlo has been at it again, prompting Sonny to drive over to give his brother-in-law another talking-to (using his fists), whereupon he is ambushed and it is later revealed Carlo did it this time in order to lure Sonny away from the safety of the Corleone compound, using his concern for his sister's well-being to get him killed at the tollbooth by a rival gang.

As for any wife-beating on Sonny's part, well, considering the contempt he has for a wife-beater like Carlo, I think it's a safe bet he's not one himself. In any event, he isn't one in the novel. Please amend this.

Is this a Death Trap?

Using people and not machines?

It's definitely a Death Trap entry, because Sonny is lured to where he's ambushed by a phone call informing him that his brother-in-law has been beating his sister again. Something that this writeup totally forgets to mention anywhere. Sonny is on his way to pound on Carlo for hurting his sister, not suspecting that Carlo is working for a rival family and is beating his wife just to get Sonny mad enough to come out there, where those guys can ambush him.

Methinks this needs to be rewritten at some point. Roadkill obviously didn't pay much attention to the plot.

That was a little harsher than I would've thought...

you are exactly right about Sonnys death. Italians are known to have extremely bad tempers, I know because I am one. Sonny was not stupid,his temper got him killed!
