Trivia

While Paramount brass dithered over whether to cast him as Michael Corleone, the role that would make him a star, a frustrated Al Pacino signed up for the role of Mario Trantino in this movie. When Paramount decided to offer him the role, they had to buy him out of his contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Ironically, the role went to Robert DeNiro, whom "The Godfather Part II" would make a star. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: Toward the end of the film, when Kid Sally attempts to shoot a mafia leader in the head but the gun backfires in his hand, another goon outside puts a bucket of ice and fish on a police officer. However, in the next shot, her head is completely dry and looks as if it wasn't even affected in any way. See more »
