Trivia:
When Michael goes to see Hyman Roth at his house in Miami, the football game on the TV is USC vs. Notre Dame, a major rivalry. moreGoofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In his later scenes, Don Fanucci has slash marks on his neck/throat area that weren't there earlier. (This is because of a deleted scene in which Fanucci is jumped on the streets by a group of young thugs, who slash him. The scene doesn't appear in the regular cut of the film, but does appear in the "Complete Novel for Television/Saga" edit, and as a deleted scene in the DVD set.) moreQuotes:
[first lines]Title Card: The godfather was born Vito Andolini, in the town of Corleone in Sicily. In 1901 his father was murdered for an insult to the local Mafia chieftain. His older brother Paolo swore revenge and disappeared into the hills, leaving Vito, the only male heir, to stand with his mother at the funeral. He was nine years old.
[gunshots and screams]
Woman: [subtitled from Italian] They've killed the boy! They've killed young Paolo! They've killed your son Paolo!

The Godfather Part II (1974)
Number 1 - 1974
Top 3 - 1970s
"My father taught me many things. Keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer"
"The Godfather Part II is truly a masterpiece. Timeless, Classic, Beautiful and endlessly watchable"
The second part of Francis Ford Coppola's Epic and violent Gangster Trilogy, follows the reign of Don Michael Corleone as the head of the Corleone family. As well the film shows us the early years of Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) played flawlessly by Academy Award Winner Robert De Niro, and how he created his empire of money, gambling and respect. Beautifully directed by Francis Ford Coppola, Godfather Part II exceeds every expectation with outstanding performances from Academy Award winners Al Pacino,Diane Keaton, Robert Duvall and Robert De Niro. The second part of this unforgettable trilogy is one of the finest films ever made.
This is cinematic art. A treasure of film history. The finest sequel ever made. A faultless, flawless gripping drama; Coppola's second part of his crime saga is in my opinion one of the top 5 films of all time and perhaps towering over the first part.
"As close to perfection as movies get"
"Pacino at his best"
-10/10-
