What did Antonio do to Reaper's litte brother?!


Did he like punch him or throw a garbage can at him?? And who the hell would let their 8 year old son be out so late like that??

It's all about the corned beef sandwiches and pineapple juice

Im fairly sure that he punched the kid, to send Reaper a message. A lot of the violence (except what happened to himself) was not shown in the movie most likely due to it being like a recollection.

Also we are talking about the slums of New york, probably just bad parenting or parents just not caring. They were probably drug dealers themselves and stuff.

I wasn't positive at first. But I bought the DVD and in the deleted scenes feature, there is a scene of all the kids attending a Greek feast. The little boy comes in with his mother, and he has a thing over most of his face (bandages, I guess). The mother goes over to Antonio (first she goes over to Dito, then I guess realizes Antonio is the one) and starts yelling at him and pushing him.

Sugerbear, its Queensbridge. In the 80's especially, there was lawlessness.

I thought Antonio just kicked the garbage bin next to the child to intimidate him. He didn't hurt him, did he? Cause Reaper was still after Dito, not Antonio. If Antonio had hurt Reaper's brother then Anotnio would be a dead man!

Have you been to New York at 3 am. Too many little kids out. You should hear how they talk. Sad really. Most 'good' parents keep a pretty tight handle on their kids as things can go downhill quick in this city.
