• In the novel “The Godfather,” Michael Corleone had two sons, however, in the film he has a son and a daughter.
• Francis Ford Coppola wanted to film a fourth part of "The Godfather." Andy Garcia and Leonardo DiCaprio were to play the main roles. However, the filming did not take place due to the author's death.
• The full video version of the film has a runtime of 169 minutes.
• Sofia Coppola (daughter of director Francis Ford Coppola) plays the role of Michael Corleone's daughter, but in the film "The Godfather" (1972) she played his nephew as a child. Winona Ryder was supposed to play this role, but declined in favor of a role in "Edward Scissorhands" (1990).
