Holy shit that is absolutely genius, putting in that scene of Luca Brasi practising his speech. I have new found respect for just how adaptable Coppola is
sinasantos -- I havnt read the book in years but I thought I remembered that aswell. From what I remember, he was nervous speaking with the Don in the book.
Frank Pentangelli was not supposed to be in The Godfather II. Clemenza was supposed to be in the part. Michael did not get the same respect that his father had in the end.
Hmmm, I never heard or read anything about that. Ever. Brando really liked Pacino. Can you post a link to your source? I know the studio didn't want either one of them for the film but Brando himself got along well with the rest of the cast.
Lenny Montana - Luca Brasi thing was GENIUS. In the book, Puzo goes very in depth about how Luca Brasi respects Don Corleone, and explains why he's one of the very few man Luca is AFRAID of. And on the book it is said that Luca is very nervous about seeing Don Corleone in that day. Amazing film.
Nacho Gonzalez The book also mentions how the Don is terrified of Luca Brasi. That's why when Tom Hagen told Corleone that Brasi was next in line to see him, the Don asked, "Is this necessary?"
Fun fact: Lenny Montana (don't know if i spelled that correct) was a hitman for A REAL MAFIA and he was scared of acting with Brando. Well i guess Brando is scarier than prison then.
Yeah lmao he was sent by the real Italian mafia on the sets of the movie to keep an eye about how accurately were they potraying the working of the mafia
With so much criticism of "The Godfather III," I admire your courage in admitting that you liked it. I liked it also despite knowing that Puzo and Coppola almost did it under protest. Neither they nor the public felt it was their best effort. I read "The Godfather" about the time the movie was released. My parents went to see it on the only date night I recall them ever taking. Back then, I knew the film couldn't be as good as the book - especially when it seemed that it was filmed out of sequence with the book chronology and there was more story to be told - which took place in "Godfather II." I was dead wrong. It's a fictional story anyway, so Hollywood will take more liberties. I didn't realize what a master storyteller Coppola was. Until this year. So, knowing that Puzo and Coppola re-teamed on making the third installment decades later, I figured they had to give us something worthy. Was it Sophia Copolla that played the daughter? I heard her performance was trashed. But she worked in that role for me. Anyway, thanks for being so gutsy. Since your post, I understand that they've released a re-edited version that perhaps approaches what Coppola intended. I probably won't look it up until sometime next year. Been following Michael Franzese and Sammy Gravano since watching the Saga. I'm glad I didn't live that kind of life.
+Felix ten Haaf Well maybe. I have a lot of respect for the filmmakers and actors. It's also a fantastic psycholigic film, which isn't really a war film if you think of it.
+mees I think it is in the sense that it shows the psychological downfall of ones sanity and humanity in war times. I think it shows the craziness war in a manner that no other film does. The Redux, I agree with you, isn't perfect, but I think the normal Apocalypse Now quite near is. Incredible acting, beautiful cinematography, ingenious details, deeply mystical, psychologically brilliant, thematically strong and great symbolism! It's a blockbuster and still a very intellectual movie (I hope this doesn't sound too pretentious).
Back in the days when movie studios had less power than directors with vision and diligence, the Godfather was possible to be made. If anyone tried to make this movie today, the only person who could make it with the same artistic integrity is Nolan or Scorsese. I'm not talking about form and style--I'm just saying getting it made and kept with the same run time.
The decision to add in that luca brazzi scene rehearsing his lines is literal GENIUS because it doesn’t look contrived. It comes off as natural because it is natural. The studio were against most of Coppola’s creative decisions and he did not bend once for them and I’m glad he didn’t!
I love this movie. One of the best movies ever made. Everything about it, the character's, the contrast between the Corleone children. The fact that Michael was fresh faced, right out of the army and wanted nothing to do with the family business in the beginning. By the end, he's even more ruthless that his father was. Buy mostly I love the Don, Vito Corleone. I love every time he is on screen. (Apart from when he dies of course) Marlon Brando played this part amazingly. Well worth the Oscar. The only problem I have with the movie is that we didn't have much of the Godfather, the assassination attempt on him was too soon into the film. Other than this, I love it. Al Pacino is great too.
@@cazzmarie1136 yeah i know that it was just a pun on the dialogue "i made him an offer he couldn't refuse" from the godfather movie. i was never implying errors in your comment. 😑😑😑
Doing his entire make-up job took that long. It probably took a minute or two to get that dental piece in. The author of this was confusing the dental prosthetic with the entire make-up process. Ironically, Dick Smith did not use prostheses on Brando. He used a technique of pulling the skin tight, painting on a thin layer of liquid latex, and then letting the skin go slack, causing it to wrinkle. Skin tone coloring and hair work did most of the rest of the work. All of that took several hours, though in this case probably not much more than two hours, as it usually does.
@@lovrozore5141 not even irony. The reason for him leading the movement was to put the war against organized crime into a bad light, which would allow him to conduct illegal operations under the radar. If I remember right, he even used the organization to launder money. It was an intricate scheme, calling cops and the FBI out for "discriminating" hard-working Italian men by trying to convict them of crimes linked to organized crime. The movie wasn't the only thing that the organization went after also. Headlines, TV, film, board games, etc all were convinced to completely eradicate the word "mafia" from the vocabulary of the press, and make him seem like he wasn't a criminal. Among the most important and interesting pieces in the history of organized crime. I'd read more about it. I'm citing a lot of stuff that I know off the top of my head by the way, haven't researched it in a while, so if you chose to do so I probably got a few things wrong.
Director: We need a horse’s head Scout: But boss, what’s wrong with the prop? Director: It’s not lively enough, go find us a horse head *Scout walks out of the room into the hallway* Scout: Where the hell am I going to find a horse hea- *He watches as dog food is unloaded through a window.*
I think he was screaming because he realised his power and strength was worth nothing, instead of being the god he thought he was, he realised, that if they could do it to his prize horse, they could do it to him.
Maybe he thought about all that after breakfast, but I doubt that's the first thing that went through his mind seconds after getting up to the bloody horse's head mess covering his silk sheets. I also think the scene is improbable because there is no way he's sleep through someone shoving a horse's head under his covers.
I already knew this...my uncle sho is a big fan of the Godfather trilogy, Coppola, Brando, and Pacino, he knows alot. It also helps that he was a young man when all this took place, and now he's over 400 years old.
i already knew all if this. what he could have mentioned is that in the horses head scene, the accadamy award on the night stand is copila's from wr8iting Patton
You have to really respect Coppola. He cared about the art and fought for various aspects against the production companies who just wanted to make a buck.
You made us an offer we couldn't refuse. Speaking of which the film inspired a chart hit in 1973 by Jimmy Helms, Gonna Make You an Offer You Can't Refuse. It sounds very tinny and dated today on our modern devices but back in the day.........
An absolute CLASSIC. Reflecting back in what Coppola had to contend with from Paramount is simply unbelievable. Paramount didn’t want Pacino! Haha, one of the greatest actors of all time was not wanted in least. Coppola continually had to fight the studio and insist he was the only person fit for the part. The brain trust at the studio thought it a better choice to use Robert Redford, Ryan O’Neil and a couple others, lol Reading this now one would think that was pure b.s. The daily battles Coppola faced with them was unbelievable looking back now. Just an all time perfect movie.
I think when Michael was talking to Kay about Tom Hagen and said "He's a good lawyer. Not a Sicilian." I think he meant Tom probably wouldn't shoot a police captain in the throat and the head in the middle of eating his veal.
Just watched the Saga this past summer and have followed recommendations that give more insight into the real mob life. Good video. The story about the filming is as interesting as the film itself!
I always thought Luca was supposed to be half in the bag from sitting around drinking wine ,getting up the courage to speak to the Don, who , in turn was a little uncomfortable w/ Luca, 'cause he never met a deadlier killer.
The year before "The Godfather" was released by Paramount, the studio had another huge hit with "Love Story", with Ali McGraw and Ryan O'Neal. There was one actor who appeared in both films. Who?
Also, they didn't want to cast Al, because he wasn't a movie star back then. But the director kept seeking him into the auditions and when the scene where Micheal kills Sollozo and the police captain came, they eventually took him in.
I was in the lunchroom at work many years ago. John Martin, Kevin Wager and I. Kevin was going on about his father's time overseas during the 2nd world war. Knowing John was a Godfather buff, I said how my father was in Germany and found an orphan named Peter. I said "my father took him home and he's been with us ever since. He's now going to law school and when he graduates, he will be a counselor for the family, that's a very important position." John was practically pissing himself, trying to not laugh.
I love the trilogy of the Godfather notice that when Michael was ascending in terms of wealth he is losing his family as he grew larger. This can also be seen in the houses that he stayed.
I love your channel! My father loved movies and brought me into movies that were non age appropriate😕 but this gave a love affair with film. I stopped counting how many movies I have seen and because of my father know many of these details 😀 new favorite channel. Ok, giving away my age I’m 56 so I got to see some great ones!
Coda Nostra is used once in the film, at least in the copies I've seen. It happens when he greets Barzini at the wedding. I don't know if this was Brando being Brando but it's there.
There's about a million things that this video missed. There's also a couple of little inaccuracies that I won't go fully into, but the biggest thing that they missed, outside of the standard famous trivia about the movie, is that the real life mafia was crawling all over the production essentially. The Italian American Rights League was really a front for a mafia family, whose head was also the president of the league. So when this guy in the video says that the league said they wouldn't support the film unless any instances of mafia and casa-nostra were removed, really what happened was that a script supervisor was strong armed into bringing the script into the league's office, where the president, his consigliere, and his bodyguard took turns not wanting to read the script until he suggested taking out "mafia" and "casa-nostra" from the script and they agreed so that they didn't have to read the whole thing. Also, the guy who plays Luca Brasi was a real life mafia thug, who wanted to get into acting. The family he was in blackmailed the production to get him and a few other smaller roles filled by their people, which is why he had no good takes in the wedding scene: he was nervous to meet his hero, Marlon Brando, in the flesh. I could go on and on, but my recommendation to anyone interested is to look up any and all documentaries and interviews about the movie, and you'd be surprised what kind of wacky stuff you can find out about it. Definitely one of the greatest movies of all time, hands down.
You think you know ..... that no Zoom lenses were used? The opening shot starting with tight frame of Bonasera's face is very slow zoom back to behind Brando.
The Godfather wasn't perfect - the acting and storyline sure was - but some scenes were clearly flawed like the Sonny and Carlo fight scene and the deep dubbed from Moe Greene
I saw it as a first run, as I'm old, but also have gone to see it since, many times. the studio re-mastered it in '92 and I saw it in Harvard sq. and revival theaters are still around, thank heaven.
There is still way too many people who mistakenly believe that Fredo was the oldest. And not Santino " SONNY" Corleone. If they KNEW about Italian culture they would get it IMMEDIATELY that the one called/nicknamed SONNY is the "Prince" - Oldest son. It's Italian tradition to call the Prince SONNY as a nickname, no matter their birthname given. I'm called SONNY and so is EVERY first born Italian who's family holds that tradition. There are MANY clues to this thruout the movie( Clemenza playing with Santino on the rug with no other child present) , but alas they figure that simply because Fredo looks older that he is oldest, wich is not true.
I just revisited the 7 hour God Father Epic (Parts 1&2) on Xfinity. It's an amazing film. At any rate, I knew already knew all the trivia mention in this video.
Holy shit that is absolutely genius, putting in that scene of Luca Brasi practising his speech. I have new found respect for just how adaptable Coppola is
TheManwithafan IKR?!
Bad timing, but the actor Lenny Montana was actualy a hitman for the mafia before acting. Funny how a hitman was scared of Brando.
Its fake, on the book Luca Brasi act the same way, this was scripted.
sinasantos -- I havnt read the book in years but I thought I remembered that aswell. From what I remember, he was nervous speaking with the Don in the book.
There is a clip of James Caan doing an impression of Lenny as Luca reciting that speech.
Clemenza was very loyal to the family. One of my favourite characters in the film.
And tessio was always smart...
rahul anand and a traitor
Yes. Playing perfect side kick badass who does all the dirty work
Frank Pentangelli was not supposed to be in The Godfather II. Clemenza was supposed to be in the part. Michael did not get the same respect that his father had in the end.
Al neri was also loyal

He was an enforcer...meaning he would beat the crap out of deadbeats who didn't pay back money they owed. He is not known to have killed anybody,
Yeah lmao he was sent by the real Italian mafia on the sets of the movie to keep an eye about how accurately were they potraying the working of the mafia
Lenny Montana was affiliated with the Colombos
If those Paramount executives had their way, the Godfather would have been a very different movie than the one we know and adore

It never fails to amaze and captivate me.
Do you think he was screaming because the head was in his bed or because he loved the horse?
+Anna E both
It was mentioned the horse cost him $600,00 and he was going to put it to stud.
I think he was screaming because he realised his power and strength was worth nothing, instead of being the god he thought he was, he realised, that if they could do it to his prize horse, they could do it to him.

I have the special addition which includes the making of all GF movies. GF1's making was really interesting.

I find it crazy how mostly everything in this movie was a reality when it was being filmed, produced and seen by millions
Greatest Movie of All Time....well done
Love to watch,
Again & again...
Tells you enough that back in the day with little money, small production movies were just great!
Also, they didn't want to cast Al, because he wasn't a movie star back then. But the director kept seeking him into the auditions and when the scene where Micheal kills Sollozo and the police captain came, they eventually took him in.

The Italian American Rights League was really a front for a mafia family, whose head was also the president of the league. So when this guy in the video says that the league said they wouldn't support the film unless any instances of mafia and casa-nostra were removed, really what happened was that a script supervisor was strong armed into bringing the script into the league's office, where the president, his consigliere, and his bodyguard took turns not wanting to read the script until he suggested taking out "mafia" and "casa-nostra" from the script and they agreed so that they didn't have to read the whole thing. Also, the guy who plays Luca Brasi was a real life mafia thug, who wanted to get into acting. The family he was in blackmailed the production to get him and a few other smaller roles filled by their people, which is why he had no good takes in the wedding scene: he was nervous to meet his hero, Marlon Brando, in the flesh. I could go on and on, but my recommendation to anyone interested is to look up any and all documentaries and interviews about the movie, and you'd be surprised what kind of wacky stuff you can find out about it. Definitely one of the greatest movies of all time, hands down.
You think you know ..... that no Zoom lenses were used? The opening shot starting with tight frame of Bonasera's face is very slow zoom back to behind Brando.
Knew it already. There's already an interview and everything you said is already been said in it.
The Godfather wasn't perfect - the acting and storyline sure was - but some scenes were clearly flawed like the Sonny and Carlo fight scene and the deep dubbed from Moe Greene
Why so cynical?
Why do you think those scenes are flawed? Is it because sonny hit carlo in daylight in front of bystanders?
I talked to BAHRZEENni
@@sophiabel6621 because you can see the air punch hahha
0:39 never knew shroud was an actor
Amazing Facts, Thanks, Like the horses head one, I always could have sworn that horses head looked real, not a fake prop. LOL LOL
The best of 70s filmmaking.
My favourite movie of all time just wish I could see it on a cinema screen
I saw it as a first run, as I'm old, but also have gone to see it since, many times. the studio re-mastered it in '92 and I saw it in Harvard sq. and revival theaters are still around, thank heaven.
The full length movie was great, can't say the same for the DVD, had scenes deleted.
One of the best movies ever.
The best trilogy ever made
I knew everything so yes I do think I know movies
It wasn't because Brando had a temper its just that he was difficult to work with because of his eccentricity.
There is still way too many people who mistakenly believe that Fredo was the oldest. And not Santino " SONNY" Corleone. If they KNEW about Italian culture they would get it IMMEDIATELY that the one called/nicknamed SONNY is the "Prince" - Oldest son. It's Italian tradition to call the Prince SONNY as a nickname, no matter their birthname given. I'm called SONNY and so is EVERY first born Italian who's family holds that tradition. There are MANY clues to this thruout the movie( Clemenza playing with Santino on the rug with no other child present) , but alas they figure that simply because Fredo looks older that he is oldest, wich is not true.
Lol...dog FOOD factory.
I thought these were common knowledge by now.
Your intro is the beginning of State a Run Radio by Lupe Fiasco
I just revisited the 7 hour God Father Epic (Parts 1&2) on Xfinity. It's an amazing film. At any rate, I knew already knew all the trivia mention in this video.
This video made me an offer I can't refuse.
Did you know, that horses head still haunts the Big Brother house to this day.
HOLY COW! That horse head was real? Now that scene is even creepier
Such a great movie.
Now I know I know movies!!!
( Nothing new in the video)
The horse's head was REAL? Mind = blown
My second favorite movie!
But Kozo Nostra is mentioned in the movie when Don Corleone welcome Barzini to the weding.
The live horse had a distinct white area on his nose but the dead horse that was supposed to be the same animal had a completely black head.
