THAT BLOODY HORSE HEAD
Discovered in the bed of the ruthless movie producer, it wasn't a prop: it was a real horse's head from a dogfood plant in New Jersey. That scream the producer let out was as good as Pacino's in "Godfather 3."
THE GODFATHER IN POP CULTURE
"Return of the Jedi" (1983) It's no coincidence that Princess Leia kills Jabba the Hutt by strangling him with her chain. Screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan was inspired by Luca Brasi, whose eyes and tongue bulge out as he is garroted by an assassin.
"You've Got Mail" (1998) Doing his best Vito impression, Tom Hanks insists that life's problems can be solved by one of the Godfather's credos, telling Meg Ryan to "go to the mattresses," to fight for her business to stay open.
"The Sopranos" (1999) The TV series made several references to the original mob family, like when Tony Soprano gets shot after chugging orange juice near his car.
"Despicable Me" (2010) Even this G-rated kiddie movie includes a nod" Villain Gru finds a doll's head in his bed and screams bloody murder.
