This Video was inspired by the Godfather:

Shortly before Vito Corleone is shot, Brasi (on Vito Corleone's instructions) intends to draw out drug lord Virgil Sollozzo and the rest of the Don's enemies. Brasi then meets with Bruno Tattaglia, the son of one of the Don's rival bosses, Philip Tattaglia. Sollozzo shows up, and after promises of friendship and a job offer, grabs one of Luca's hands while Bruno Tattaglia holds the other one (in the film, Sollozzo rams a knife into Luca's hand, pinning it to the bar). An assassin then garrotes him from behind. Brasi's body is thrown into the sea.

A Sicilian message is later sent to the Corleone family: a fish wrapped in Brasi's bulletproof vest. The meaning is made clear to the Corleones.

In the book, the text reads: "Sonny lit a cigar and took a shot of whiskey. Michael, bewildered, said. 'What the hell does that fish mean?' It was Tom Hagen the Irisher, the Consigliere, who answered him. 'The fish means that Luca Brasi is sleeping on the bottom of the ocean,' he said. 'It's an old Sicilian message.'"

In the movie, this was slightly changed to the more well known version. Corleone's caporegime Clemenza explains: "It's a Sicilian message. It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes." Sollozzo has Brasi killed as it is the best way of ensuring Vito Corleone's vulnerability. When Hagen is kidnapped by Sollozzo, Hagen, not knowing that Luca had been killed, warns of reprisals from Brasi in response to Vito's death.
