What's left behind the scenes

  • According to Coppola, the second film was not conceived as a sequel in the Hollywood sense of the word. The script was presented as a second part of the novel. This influenced the production methods of the film. The same equipment used on the first "Godfather" was used during filming, although more modern technologies were available in 1974.
  • Even before the first "Godfather," Coppola wanted to make a film in which he would show a father and son at the same age. He wanted to see the traits of his future son in the father, and the traits of the father in the son.
  • In one of the deleted scenes, included in the DVD version of the film, Vito, Jenko, and Clemenza meet in a store owned by a certain Signor Coppola. Clemenza asks Coppola to have his son Carmine play the clarinet. It is believed that the director dedicated this scene to his father, Carmine Coppola, who composed additional music for the first two "Godfather" films.
  • James Caan agreed to play the cameo role of Sonny Corleone in the scene celebrating Vito Corleone's 50th birthday, demanding a fee equal to what he received for the entire film 'The Godfather'.
  • 'The Godfather Part II' was the first sequel to win an Oscar for 'Best Picture'.
  • Marlon Brando initially agreed to appear in the birthday celebration episode, but then, due to disagreements with Paramount, refused the single day of shooting that had been planned, and Coppola rewrote the script for that episode.
  • Richard S. Castellano, who played Pete Clemenza in the first film, refused to appear in the second part due to disagreements with the producers. The role of the young Clemenza was played by Bruno Kirby.
  • Producer and director Roger Corman, and writer and screenwriter Richard Matheson, can be seen in cameo roles as senators at the committee hearing.
  • An early version of the script featured a storyline in which Tom Hagen developed a romance with Sunny Corleone's widow. These scenes were later cut, but Michael Corleone's line mentioning Hagen's mistress remained.
  • According to Coppola's vision, Michael was supposed to kill Fredo. The novel's author and co-screenwriter, Mario Puzo, initially opposed this, but then agreed – on one condition: the murder could only happen after the death of the heroes' mother.
  • At the beginning of the film, when Don Corleone's mother rushes to the body of her murdered son lying on the stones, you can see 'killed' Paolo (Don Corleone's older brother) move his arm into a more comfortable position the moment Vito's mother leans over him and cradles his head.
  • The film is based on Mario Puzo's novel "The Godfather" (1969).
  • James Caan agreed to play the episodic role of Sonny Corleone in the scene celebrating Vito Corleone's 50th birthday, demanding a fee equal to what he received for the entire film "The Godfather".
  • At the beginning of the film, when Don Corleone's mother runs to the body of her murdered son lying on the stones, it is visible that "killed" Paolo (Don Corleone's older brother) moves his arm into a more comfortable position at the moment when Vito's mother leans over him and embraces his head.
