It is also briefly mentioned in Mark Winegardner's 2004 sequel The Godfather Returns that Luca Brasi himself killed Jack Woltz's prized racehorse Khartoum and delivered its head into his bedroom. In the video game, however, the horse is killed by Rocco Lampone and Aldo Trapani.

Luca Brasi plays one major role in the prequel novel The Family Corleone by Ed Falco. At this time in the Great Depression in the 1930s, Luca Brasi is the leader of a small, but because of him very feared gang, which makes deals with Vito´s oldest son Sonny Corleone. Within the novel it is told, how Don Corleone and Brasi came into contact. The younger Brasi is described as a psychopathic character, who kills his own newborn child by throwing it into the burning oven, let his irish-american girlfriend Kelly die and missuses drugs. Brasi also wants to kill Tom Hagen, because he had an affair with Kelly. Vito is disgusted by Brasi and fears him, but wants him to be on side of his organization, because he think a man feared by everyone is a powerful tool needed.

Brasi's role as personal enforcer and bodyguard to the Corleone family boss is taken over by Al Neri in The Godfather Part II and The Godfather Part III.

Luca Brasi appears early on in The Godfather: The Game. Luca is assigned by the Godfather to rescue the protagonist, Aldo Trapani, from a brutal gang and train him. Luca functions as a "trainer" for the player, showing how to perform various game functions, such as shooting and punching. The player is a witness to Brasi's eventual death and must escape in order to inform the family.

Luca is also mentioned by Michael Corleone in the video game version of The Godfather Part II, where the player, Dominic, acquires Luca's old apartment.
