This movie was not supposed to be The Godfather- It is a comedy and one of the best - The acting alone rivals any movie - Just watch it for what it is and enjoy
@victorspell1 Dude...! Prizzi's Honor is a dark comedy.... wasn't nuthin funny about The Godfather! we're talkin' apples and oranges... this isn't the same line-up, not the same lay-out, this ain't even the same friggin sport! (I just had to throw that in there...its the PF fan in me)
Prizzi's Honor paved the way to ''Sopranos'' and other mafia comedies/half comedies/whatever. Respect for that, this movie has aged very well and is underrated and recommended to every movie fan. Super cast, Nicholson at his peak etc.etc.
Movies and TV series about the Mafia have tended to be some of America's best. The _Sopranos_ was so realistic that real Mafia families thought there must be an insider feeding the producers information. That and how complex, how human, the characters were. You don't just see them when they're whacking rivals. The series gets inside their heads, explores their lives, shows their tenderness as well as their ruthlessness.

Thanks for uploading this, his delivery is endlessly enjoyable.
All of the books about the Prizzi family were well written and enjoyable.

"Prizzi's Honor" was--and remains--a crude cartoon, just like "Sopranos." Actors are playing stereotypes, not flesh-and-blood characters. Wake up!!
You are so off on that
Prizzi's Honor's a wannabe Godfather!
