* ColdBloodedTorture: Farranzano subjects Luciano to this when he still refuses to join his family. Leaving him with his trademark scars and yet more motivation for revenge.



* TheMafia: Naturally--with an "all-star" collection: Lucky Luciano, Frank Costello, Meyer Lansky, Bugsy Siegel, and even Al Capone as a quick OneSceneWonder.

to:

* KosherNostra: Jewish gangsters feature prominently, especially Meyer and Bugsy. The former in particular is portrayed as the brains of the operation, but is astute enough to know Luciano has far more charisma and cachet among the predominantly Italian underworld.
* TheMafia: Naturally--with an "all-star" collection: Lucky Luciano, Frank Costello, Meyer Lansky, Bugsy Siegel, and even Al Capone as a quick OneSceneWonder. The importance of Jewish gangsters is not overlooked, though, both in their organizational skills (Lansky) and capacity for violence (Bugsy, who would go on to help found [[MurderInc Murder, Incorporated]]).


Added DiffLines:

* PsychoForHire: Mad Dog Coll kills just as much for sheer enjoyment as he does a paycheck, and even says as much at the climax.
