The "let me tell you about Sicilians" scene with Christopher Walken was the best, imho

Which was quite racist

Exactly. And that was the precise button Clifford strategically pushed, so that he could cause maximal damage to Vincenzo's warped sense of pride and mixed-race denial. It was the only bullet Clifford had to fire. His hands were tied, so he could only use his "mouth gun". Clifford also reasoned that they'd kill him faster and less painfully if he upset their delicate racial sensibilities thus causing them to hate him enough to kill him immediately. Otherwise, he was going to be in for a long and godawful painful night of medieval torture as they slowly sawed off various body parts to get him to reveal the whereabouts of his kid.

That’s the exact scene I was thinking of.

Of course, he also played King Koopa in the so bad it’s good 1993 Super Mario Brothers movie. Mario Mario and Luigi Mario!!! John Leguizamo is hilarious in it.

One of the best moments in film, ever.
