Parkways are usually faster than city streets. Plow", ... Popular sportswriter Bill Simmons used to frequently compare the "Sonny Corleone move" to the "Michael Corleone move" when referring to hasty, rash decisions that end badly when a patient, reasoned approach would have been far more successful. Michael, who had before wanted nothing to do with the family business, volunteers to kill Sollozzo and McCluskey, arguing that McCluskey is fair game because he is a corrupt cop mixed up in the drug trade.

The book also describes the causeway, so, same problem. When Peter Clemenza, Vito's right-hand man and Sonny's godfather, informs Vito about it, Vito demands his son explain himself. When you approached the toll you could pay to head south to Jones Beach, or go north up onto the Meadowbrook Parkway away from the beach. All gone now. I just used google earth. He also begins plotting to take out the rival Mafia bosses. how would i find the exact location from stewart ave. The Wantagh has a toll plaza to enter the beach, but not to leave.

That puts you right on the Belt Pkwy. Sonny Corleone is lured into a trap by Barzini with the help of his shifty brother in law Carlo. Unlike his quiet, level-headed father, Sonny is fiery-tempered and prone to violence. In fact, I remember at some point, looking at a map, and being surprised to learn that that stretch of road actually had an official name, “Loop Parkway”. Sonny orders Clemenza to execute Vito's traitorous bodyguard Paulie Gatto. into lower Manhattan, Lived at MF /NCC father stationed there. I also don’t remember paying the toll returning back onto the Loop Parkway, just going from Lido Blvd north to the toll booths. Hard to say yes. When Sonny finds out that the Tattaglias also killed longtime Corleone enforcer Luca Brasi, he orders the death of Bruno Tattaglia, son and underboss of Tattaglia family boss Philip Tattaglia. But Blogger ‘Garrett’ at citynoise.org does a nice job of showing an exact location of an abandoned runway that is in existence today at Mitchell that looks to be correct. He always used this route when he went to New York … The causeway was badly lit, there was not a single car. For me the scene is roll in the Mitchel Field abandoned runway, Another feature is the enormous width of the supposed route that cars approach to cabin. He has two brothers, Fredo and Michael, and a sister, Connie. At age 16, Sonny commits a robbery. The alternate western route would take you through local streets, traffic lights, etc. I went to NCC in the late 70’s and knew a guy who worked on the campus for a number of years.

Cool stuff for sure, I so remember the first time I saw that scene and as a 7th grader I had to keep telling myself It’s not real-

Sonny has four children with his wife Sandra. The picture from 2008 is accurate, but as of the past two years there has been construction and that area where the historic scene was shot is now a damn parking lot. Puzo describes ‘several’ unmanned booths’, but the Loop parkway only had one. Was there for years 69-76. Coppola would have known Mitchel Field very well and may have even made some student films there. We were sitting on a large hill of dirt by the NCC security lock up for their vehicles that were damaged or inop with Hofstra at our back.

Where Did The Shooting Take Place The Filming location of the death of Sonny Corleone was the former Mitchel Field . Comment . This makes sense to me seeing that Coppolla attend Hofstra University which was constructed on the abandoned Mitchell Airforce Base yards away from this scene location. Sonny, believing it is a trick, refuses and demands that the other Mafia families hand over Sollozzo to the Corleone family or else face war. Sonny "makes his bones" at the age of 19. Coppola was familiar with this location, and you can see the Kellenberg TV tower in the background. As the eldest child, Sonny acts as protector to his younger siblings and has a soft-spot for his youngest brother, Michael. I believe the tolls collected by that booth were to pay for the construction of the Loop roadway and that causeway bridge which I always managed to catch in the up position or about to go up.. 0. Required fields are marked *. He showed me the exact spot where the booth scene was set up and filmed. It  appears the toll both itself, as well as the killing, was a work of fiction. Hagen successfully convinces Sonny to wait because Captain Mark McCluskey, a corrupt NYPD captain on Sollozzo's payroll, has agreed to be Sollozzo's bodyguard.
