New Question: What was the final scene shot for The Godfather just before production on the project wrapped in NYC?

oh shit I fucked this one up. Apparently, Al Pacino did not lose a daughter named Rose at age 22... his mother Rose Pacino died when Al was 22. It was written down confusingly on the webpage I found this trivia on (I now find it more usefuly on Imdb) SORRY FOR THIS.

the question should have been which one has lost a daughter and the answer would have been Brando

sorry guys

ok next question: why was mike's son named anthony

Hey Don Sonny -- How you doin'?

Con respitto, my question is on the board. Grazie!

sorry forgot about yours. i've been somewhere else today

Don Vanchenzo you have an awful long signature!

Having searched the ENTIRE INTERNET (thats always an overstatement I know) and not wanting to listen to 3 hours of Francis Coppola's dvd commentary track, I will start guessing from now on:


the scenes where the dons of the Five Famlies meet... (??)

Sorry guys - I didn't mean to kill the thread. According to Harlan Lebo's The Godfather Legacy, the final scene shot for The Godfather in NYC was Michael waiting for Sollozzo to pick him up outside Jack Dempsey's joint. The funny thing - the scene immediately after that (in Sollozzo's car with McCluskey and Lou) was one of the first scenes shot with Pacino so although one follows the other instantaniously (sp?), they are filmed 3 months apart.

My question is off the Board. Now I guess we're on Don Sonny's question:

Why is Michael's son named Anthony?

I've got no clue.

I thought I read somewhere Anthony was named after someone in Kay's family.

If I'm right about that(which I doubt) then here is my ?


Q. Who's baby is it that Mary is seen holding in GF3 during a scene in sicily?(forgive me for that easy ? this is my first post in this thread)

well, it's very interesting stuff Don Vanchenzo, and I guess you made this trivia topic more a "game" in the way this thread is called a game, since you beat to the answer. And nice to finally know the answer


my answer to "The Iceman"'s question would be Connie grandchild, since I think I remember a topic on this board about who's child that was, and no-one seemed to fit the profile as to being that kids parent.

Michael and Kay are ruled out

Vincent and Mary...neahh

Anthony probably never had kids, unless he adopts them.

Connie had some, but were not present in Sicily.

I doubt Andy Hagen had kids.

And at Don Tommasino's age, it would be hard to get them (altough not impossible).

But hey, Lucy Mancini had a baby from Sonny even though she was never pregnant of him, so who knows?

no but good guess
his name was anthony because the little kid who played him was named anthony and he responded best when his own name was used

I remember that now! You're dead on. What's your new question?

I am still curious

Actually, wasn't Vito's father named Antonio, which anglicized is Anthony? Isn't that why his name is Anthony Vito Corleone, because he's named after his grandfather and great-grandfather?

I know that story about the name of the kid actor being Anthony and he responding better when called by his real name is true, but what Sicilian Babe says makes a lot of sense.
I think the FFC and the production noticed the actor responding better when called Anthony, and since it fits fine in the family context, they used it.

A Question: In GF1, we don't hear any quotation to Vito's father. (at least I don't remember) But does the novel tells anything about him? if it does not, this grandfather-great gandfather thing didn't have any influence

Post by Sicilian Babe
I'd have to check both the Novel and the Lebo book, but I think Don Sonny's correct and that Michael's son was named Anthony because that is the only name to which the young actor responded. Actually, I think the GFII reference to Antonio Andollini was either a great coincidence or the great-grandfather was named after the great-grandson. I'll look.

ok this one's gonna be easy but what were sonny's absolute last words(besides ahhhhhhhhh)

sicillian babe makes a lot of sense too. i never thought about it like that

As for the Anthony discussion, Harlan Lebo confirms that the movie name Anthony came from the young actor's dependency on his own name. I've not checked the Novel yet.

As for Santino's last words, they were
"Come on!"

New Question: What classic baseball game is playing on the radio when Sonny is killed?

A: Kay, ironically.

Q: How much money did Roth tell Mike he would pay, jokingly, to urinate without pain?

A: $4 million


the questions stands, it's not 1901

A: Vito Andolini was born in approximately 1892. He was 9 years old in 1901 when GFII begins at his father's funeral procession.

Q: How much does a legitimate Nevada Gaming License Fee run in the 1958 Godfather II universe?

almost, but no

"less than $20.000"


one last time:

do the math. Vito Andolini was not born in 1901, and not in 1892. Like I said, it's tricky

Alrighty. One more time, then I have to get on with my life.

1891.

Yes, Regis that's my final answer.

you are right!!!!


in 1901, Vito Andolini fled to America after his father died. He was then nine years old.

...arriving in America, obviously, it's summer. one can asume Vito arived in NY in the summer of 1901 at the age of 9.


at the end of the same movie, we learn that Vito's birthday is in December, the day Pearl Harbor was attacked.

in other words, Vito was yet to have his birthday in 1901, being his tenth, which makes him born in 1891!!!!


there are some questions about this.

for one thing, Vito's tombstone in the first movie says he was born in 1889. Another thing to be bothered with: Vito Andolini came to America with no ID, nothing except a name and he didn't even keep it, because he changed it into Corleone. Who knows what else he might have changed (like, his birthday? I doubt he had a proper birth certificate along with him).

but anyway, I strongly believe Vito was born in 1891.


Don Vanchenzo, what's the next question?

Grazie, Pherdy!

The next question is (I doubt I can make it as challenging as your last question):

What does Santino eat while organizing the Family after Don Vito's shooting?

I'm not positive, but I think it was an apple.


What was that last two words in GF and if you know, who said it?


(If my answer above isn't correct, I'll use this question later, unless someone wants to answer.)

TIS

similar question:

Q: what are the first words in GF III?

"My dear children."

Q: In what other novel by Mario Puzo does Don Michael Corleone appear?

TIS

Post from TIS:
A: A candle; as well as Freddie.

Q: What sandwiches did Paulie "catch" at Connie's Reception?

A: gabagools or whatever they're called


Q: what does Sollozo want Vito to cough up?

protection and 1 or 2 milloin dollars

what is the last thing tom says to sonny?

A: "Sonny Come On"


Q: one of the most crucial scenes in The Godfather is the 'zoom-in-scene' when Michael offers to kill McCluskey and Sollozzo. What happens RIGHT after?

a train drives by and then mike shoots.

forgive my question but i cant think today;
whats the last thing sonny says before he dies other than ahhhhhhhhh

I think Pherdy was talking about the scene when Michael says he wants to go the meeting with Sollozzo and McCluskey and kill them.

what happens after his short speech is a great laugh from Sonny, Tom, Clemenza and Tessio.

well I can't think of a question. proceed with the one from the post above me, I think...

the zoom in scene is when they're at the restarant and the camre zooms slowly in on mike's face.Pherdy thats what you mean right?

A: A candle; as well as Freddie.

DV, I read that it was a "leech" under the glass they had on Fredo's stomach. I didn't see it in the movie either, but I read that it was a superstition used to draw out the virus or something. Not complaining mind you, but now I am curious.


TIS

TIS, this practice, called "cupping," was very common among Italian and Eastern European immigrants in that era. A glass hemisphere was heated with a candle, then placed on the sick person's skin, to "draw the bad blood" to the surface. No leeches were involved in this process. It's yet another of FFC's many marvelous authenticity touches.

no, I said when Michael offers to kill Sollozo. Tony Mosrite was right; Sonny, Clemenza and Tessio start laughing.


the last question was:
A: Son of a bitch! Come on, come on


Q: where does Tommasino wants Michael to move rigth after Sonny died?

A: A villa near Siracusa.

Q: another food question. name three dishes Michael assumably eats before he goes to Sicily

What actor appeared in GF2 and Green Acres?(Hint: it was not Arnold Ziffle)

the last question (by me ) wasn't answered yet


the answer to yours

Harry Dean Stanton

Q: another food question. name three dishes Michael assumably eats before he goes to Sicily .

Sorry. Was it Veal @ Louis in the Bronx,
Chinese take out @ home waiting meet Sollozzo, and meat balls - cooked by Clemenza?

well the third one I ment was lasagna, but I guess he could have eaten some of Clemenza's meatballs...


no wait, he left before Clemenza finished the cooking, right?


so you're up for a next question

Let's think about this: I remember the lasagna at Connie's reception; I don't remember Mike taking a single bite of food at Louis; nor to I remember seeing him eat chinese food at waiting for the call from McClusky's precinct. I think he was too nervous to eat plus his jaw was freshly broken.

I don't remember what it is but he does eat with Kay in her hotel room before going to the hospital to see Vito. I dunno

pherdy - thanks, man! this is by far the coolest board i've ever been on; i don't know why i never went to it before. i've always thought i've known a lot about the godfather, but it pales in comparison to most of the 'paisanos' here!

ps. if you think about it, michael never really eats the veal at Louis'. salozzo and mccluskey do end up eating lead, though...

speaking of food, we all know that the appearance of a certain food is an omen that something bad is about to happen. there ar emany instances in all tree movies that show this. ironically, what is the first act of tribute received by vito corleone?

Sorry, lost track of where the last real question was so I'll post one.

Q: Who's been with the COrleone Family, Rocco Lampone or Al Neri?

the last question was from tripwire.

If I understand it he asks what Vito's first encounter with oranges is, am I right?


as for your question, weren't they both with the Corleone Family??? Neri and Lampone?


about the food; I guess we don't see him eat Chinese food nor the Louis' veal but as foor the takeaway I think he must have had some prior to the scene. The veal though, he could have been to nervous for, but I always believed the whole Louis' scene wasn't 100% real-time, so maybe he did eat something in between but I'm not sure

Ok new question: How was Deanna Dunn involved in the book?

OK, I made a stupid mistake, I admit it. However, Turnbull, you were also wrong. Michael said he was going into the kitchen to listen to some Tony Bennett records. Guess everyone is wrong every once in a while.

TM

A: One Million Dollars

Q: In his attempt to take control of Immobiliare, whose vote does Mike believe he purchased for $200 Million Dollars?

A: Gilday (?) the archbishop


Q: The Godfather Part II (1974) is so far the only movie to ....

Close answer but not quite right. Gilday doesn't have a vote but someone else in the church does. (hint, hint)

Pherdy - wasn't it Pope John Paul I's vote that Michael bought? Gilday told him that "the Pope would have to approve" him in order for him to take control of Immmobiliare. That, and that weasel Keinzig...

what i was getting at with my previous question was, yes, the oranges. i have always found it odd that the first act of tribute given to Don Vito was a bag of oranges from a street vendor. maybe FFC was trying to say that, as good a Don and a father he was, his tenure was ultimately doomed from the first. or not.

Don Vanchenzo - "Godfather Part 2" was the first sequel to win a Best Picture Oscar.

Next : Upon what principles was Michael going to base his model for international Immobiliare?

My question remains unanswered.

How was Deanna Dunn involved in the book?

A: Deanna was a fading Hollywood starlette friend of Johnny Fontaine. She had a particlar interest in watching movie previews with men that interested her. I'm at lunch right now so I'll end it with that answer without going into the R-rated part of the book involving her.

Q: After getting of the train in Sicilly to see Anthony perform, what does Michael tell Kay he needs Al Neri for?

A: carrying suitcases and helping him in and out of the car


Q: which recently passed away famed director was Coppola's original choice to play Hyman Roth?

George Plimpton. I haven't the foggiest idea.

A: What about Bob Hope?

My friend, would you consider letting us off the hook on this question Don Pherdy, so the game can continue?

Con respitto,

Don Vanchenzo

Answer was: Elia Kazan


(source: Audio Commentary by FFCopolla of GF 2 )


Q: the name of the traditional sicilian hats worn by bodyguards in the movies

Copplas,I believe

How do you get to the FFC comentary on the dvds? I can never find it.

Who(in the book)came to Vito and asked for $500?
Bonus question: What was the money for?

there are two ways:

1- if you have, like mine does, a button on your remote control of the dvd player, there must be a button with which you can change the audio track (from different languages, for instance, including a commentary track), like you have a subtitles-button as well


2- go the main menu of the DVD and then to "Setup"

Yeah I have a lot of buttons on my remote but thanks,I'll have to try that next time.

I'm not in at a place I can reference my copy of the Novel, however, I know the $500 was to open a Pizzaria. I forgot who asked for the money however, so I'm only batting .500 - .333 if you count Pherdy's interesting question that hit me like a stone wall.

if it's about opening a Pizzeria the only name that comes to mind with me is Fabrizio

According to the Novel, Anthony Coppola came to Vito during Connie's wedding asking for $500.00 to start a pizzaria. Vito did not have enough cash to loan him so he borrowed money off of Tom Hagen. This showed Vito's humility that he would borrow off of another to fulfill the wish of another.

Q: Other than Vincent Mancini, what children of Santino's were present at Michael's party following his papal honor?

the ones we know for sure are there are the twin-daughters, Fransesca and Kathryn, but Santino Jr and Frank could have been there too. unlikely, because they are not in the Family Picture,but maybe they stayed loyal to their mother, who is said to have left the Family and all it's businesses.


A: which Don was a PR-man for Michael?

a.altabello

q.she was daddys girl ffc and michaels girl

Sophia Coppola
Q. he sleeps with the fishes.

GoodFella

Luca Brasi


Who said, "We're bigger than U.S. Steel?"


TIS

A: Hyman Roth

Q: Who got hit by a thunder bolt?

Michael (who is definitely a thunderbolt in his own right! )


What was Appollonia's last name?


TIS

A: (I believe) Vitelli.

Q: If I'm right, which Don wants to allow drug trafficing in the black communities saying "They're animals anyway so let them lose their souls".

A: Don Zaluchi


my last question was answered wrong (it's not Altobello)


which "Don" is a PR-man for Michael Corleone?

Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh (thats the sound of the "trick" question buzzer)

Mike's PR "Don" was played by Don Novello, of "Father Guido Sarducci" fame (from "Saturday Night Live"). His character's name in Part III was "Dominic Abbandando". Recognize the name "Abbandando"?

FWIW - Novello's sister, Antonia, was the former Surgeon General of the U.S., and is currently the NYS Health Commissioner.

Next question - Who appeared in all three Trilogy films IN DIFFERENT ROLES?

Answer : Sofia Coppola. Her performance in GF2 was uncredited.

Question : Upon which real-life gangster did Mario Puzo base the character of Don Vito Corleone?

and we have a winner!! Dominic Abbandando was the PR-guy, probably a grandson of Genco (if you ask me, but in real life Don Novello was only a few years younger than Al Pacino)

A: Frank Costello


Q: why was Nino Rota's music not oscar-nominated for the first movie? (it won for Part II)

Et tu, Pherdy?? This has been one of the most debated subjects on these boards. The general consensus is there was no single (one) gangster on whom Don Vito was based. (ie. he had a lot of characteristics of many real-life mobsters).

you know, I actually started a reply saying that Vito was based on more than one real-life mobster but I then thought that would make no sense for a trivia-question, so I looked around a little (not on this board I admit) and found it somewhere he was based on Frank Costello. probably for some characteristics or something, maybe lookwise I don't know.

the last question than was

Q: why was Nino Rota's music not oscar-nominated for the first movie? (it won for Part II)

I was always under the impression Vito Corleone was modeled after Carlo Gambino.

I think I need to get a new avatar, Pherdy - people are starting to confuse us!

what do you think?

My understanding is that Vito Andolini Corleone was a composite of different Dons in real life. He had traits like Don Gambino (quietly built an empire), Don Luciano (masterful underworld organizer)and Don Columbo (very, very powerful friends). I sure there were others made in the composite also. He reflected the "best" of the Dons; money, respect, power, focus and determination.

yeah it's confusing with similar avatars isn't it tripwire?

Yeah, there was a phone in the office.
"Mikey, keep trying Luca."

A: I believe Rota had used basically the same score for an earlier movie.

Q: Why does Clemenza's car have wooden bumpers?

A: Due to World War II (God bless our Veterans today and everyday!), the chome bumpers hadn't come from Deee-troit yet.

Q: What was Francis Ford Coppola's recipie for the "blood" used so freely in the Godfather?

A: Karo Syrup and food coloring.

Q: He made Jack Woltz an offer he couldn't refuse.

(Is anyone still out there?)

A: well, the offer of course was made by Vito, but the messenger was Tom Hagen


Q: the first scene to be shot for the Godfather

A) Bonasera in Vito's office
B) Michael killing Sollozo
C) Woltz's horse
D) Best & Company-scene on fifth avenue
E) Vito gets shot on the street

The answer is D) Best and Company scene.

What order do these guys make their first appearances: Neri, Willi Cicci, Rocco Lampone?

A: Rocco (killing Paulie), Cicci (at the piano during the war scenes), then Neri

Q: What made Woltz appear so powerful to others?

I think you've stumped everyone, Don Vanchenzo!

Woltz appeared powerful to others because he had connections with the president.If I'm right:

What 2001 movie featured both Vitos?

The Score by Frank Oz


Q: one of the Dons in the first film was played by an actor who was 'blacklisted' in the 1950's. Which Don?

A: (Big Guess) Corrado Gaipa, Don Tommissino

I'm not posting a question because I'm not so sure of the answer.

the answer was Rudy Bond, who played Cuneo


Q: a new DVD version of The Godfather will be released. what does DVD really stand for?

A. would that be digital video disc??

Q. (if applicable )
How old was Pacino when he made the Godfather?

32 because he was born in 1940 and GF1 was made in'72.

Why didnt the execs want Pacino to play Mike?

among the reasons were:

-he was too short
-he was unknown
-he had no hits
-he had failed during screentests
-he did not convince in the first days of shooting

however, he was Italian looking


(just read The Godfatehr Companion today)

oh and DVD does not mean digital video disk, which I thought as well, but:

Digital Versatile Disc


Q: what belt did Marlon Brando win after production of The Godfather?

Answer…A very long belt for a big belly…or maybe not , but I just had to check in…my enemies are trying to steal my crown so I'm in hiding dealing with serious 'life issues'. I am fine or at least I will be fine, it's just my attentions are extremely divided,...keep me in the family, please.
I MISS YOU ALL, SC, Turnbull, and many others, like My Sweet Life, but I am on someone's pc and can't hang for long. Later...

Now...A Question…In Sonny's fight scene with Carlo, an actor who played one of the bystanders watching in front of the beer truck has a pretty good role in GF2. Who does he play in GF2?

Thats none other than Genco Abbandando.

It takes the re-appearance of Bronx King to get me into this thread. Bronxie - If you still have access to this site please check your Private Messages.

OK.....I'm a newbie to this game, so forgive me if this has already been asked:

Its pretty well established that Marlon Brando received $50,000 as salary for his six weeks worth of filming in Part I. What would his weekly pay be IF he had to go into "overtime"? (ie. the filming lasted more than six weeks).

Depends on if he worked 7 days a week. Lets say he did for this,then he would get paid-$8333.29 each week after that.

How did James Caan meet FFC?

a gay bar?

Nope. Its not a simple arithmetic question.

Brando would have received $40,000/week if he had to work after the initial six weeks. The last scene he was scheduled to shoot was going to put him into that "overtime" class, but he gave up the extra pay and settled for some minor perks.

Marlon Brando got a belt for being the most prolific 'mooner' on set, a trend started by James Caan. near the end of production, all actors made a contest out of it mooning each other, even stuck up Al Pacino joined. the producer designed a belt for the crewmember who mooned most/best... Brando was the winner

Q: Coppola and George Lucas had founded 'American Zoetrope' in the late 1960's to make independent films outside of studios. Why did Coppola make The Godfather for a big studio anyway?

no one?

Pherdy, your questions are too hard, but I'll take a stab. Was it for the budget he would get?Dont shoot me if i'm wrong.

According to The Godfather Legacy, it says:

"...it represented a step backward to Coppola, a return to a typical Hollywood project under tight studio control. Nevertheless, given his worrisome financial position, Coppola had agreed to condider the project and started to read the book."

Don Vanchenzo has it right. Coppola was in debt $ 600,000 with Warner Bros. and really needed the money a studio project like The Godfather would provide!

next question DV?

Grazie, Perdy!

Q: Which crucial scene in GFI did Coppola admit he "misread" and therefore shot outside of Puzo's original vision?

sometimes, in the audio commentary on the DVD, it seems like Coppola didn't read the book at all, but I believe he said he misread the part of Khartoum (the horse) his head lying in Woltz's bed; in the novel it says it lays on the bed, whereas in the movie it lies under the sheets

Q:

what's wrong with this picture:

The undertaker is talking behind (rather than directly in his ear) Don Vito in a directors attempt to increase the apparent size of the Godfather and thus increase his character/screen presence at the same time.

nice try but way off

The picture is backwards.

I have to agree with you Pherdy,FFC did not read the book.Where did he stay when editing the Godfather part 1 when he was in LA

correct!

Q: Al Pacino almost didn't play the part of Michael due to commitments to another film. Instead another actor, already cast in The Godfather, got his part there. Which actor was it, what part would he play and which movie did he star in eventually?

Bobby D got Pacino's part in Bang The Drum Slowly.

My pervious question still stands

Actually, Don Sonny, Pacino was to play the part of Mario Trantino in "The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight" after "The Panic in Needle Park." Originally, FFC wanted him (of course) to play Michael but the pezzonovantes at Paramount wanted nothing to do with him and wanted James Caan to play Michael. But after seeing the dailies of "Needle Park," the execs agreed to let FFC cast Pacino as Michael if he could also get Caan to play Sonny. The only problem was Pacino was signed on to do "Gang". So Paramount got Pacino out of his obligation to star in "Gang" and brought him over to play Michael, which allowed FFC to recast the part of Paulie and freed up (ironically) Deniro to play Mario in "Gang" only to return as a young Vito in GF2.

I'm confused - what was the question?

I have to agree with you Pherdy,FFC did not read the book.Where did he stay when editing the Godfather part 1 when he was in LA [/QB][/QUOTE]


A hotel?

No if you listen to the directer comentary(if you dont fall asleep first)at the scene when Fredo is welcoming Mike to the hotel for the meeting with Moe.

A: My intended answer was the Khartom head. FFC read it to be in the bed; while Puzo wrote it to be along the bed showing a silouette.

Q: Although GFIII started with the scenes of Reno and New York before the Papal Ceremony; what was the alternate opening shot in GFIII?

A: the scene where the archbishop is asking micheal for help.

Q: how old was FFC when he started the godfather on film?

he was hired in the fall of 1970: born april 1939. He was 31.


Q: why has Francis Coppola got his second name "FORD" ?

A: to make his name sound professional or cuz he liked henry ford?

Q: what did mario puzo die of?

Mario Puzo died of heart failure

his father Carmine was conductor and arranger for the radio program The Ford Sunday Evening Hour, which is in fact related to the Detroit-based Ford automobile company (FFC was born in Detroit)


Q: on which day did Don Vito day, altough not mentioned in the film...

in the movie godfather who was the face on mikles jaket at his father funaral.

don freddy

A: It was an overexposure of Mama Corleone.

Q: Same scene. How did Sal signal to Barzini that the hit on Michael was set?

To Don Vanchenzo your wrong the face on Michael Corleones jacket was Kays look again. By the way Sal signaled to Barzini by a nod and a hand shake with a little whisper.

Q: How many people were killed in the first godfather movie?

I remember hearing 23 or 26 or something like that.
Pherdy's question remains unanswered-on which day did Don Vito day, altough not mentioned in the film...
July 25 1955 0r 54 depending on which source.

Who helped write the scene where Vito and Mike are talking in the garden?

al pacino himself?

Complete guess here: George Lucas?

A: Robert Towne

George Lucas helped with some editing (gang war scene, hospital hallways)


Q: Brando, being a big star, refused a screentest at all costs, but the producers demanded one. How was this problem solved and by who?

A) They told him it was a makeup test. He showed up resembling the version of Vito Corleone we all know and love and it was obvious the role was made for him.

Q) I think Brando ultimately became the owner, but where did the lap-cat come from at the beginning of GF1 and what problems arose from the cat being in the scene?

Nick

Edit: Forgot to mention the "who" part of the question...

It was FFC's idea to tell Brando it was a makeup test because he couldn't bring himself to tell Marlon Brando that he had to do a screen test. He didn't like seeing the once-mighty Brando so desperate for a role.

the correct answer to my question earlier which was how many people were killed in the godfather is 18. Luca, Sollozo, McClusky, Phillip Tattaligia (we never see), Paulie, Appolonia, Moe Green, Stratchi, Guy with Stratchi in elevator, Cuono, Barzini, two guys with Barzini, Tattaligia, and his mistress, Carlo, Tessio, Santino. Let me know if I missed anyone.

Q: What is Al Neri's first line in the movies, hint he doesn't speak in the first one at all.

Is it "champaign cocktail" when Pentangeli asks what Michael is drinking up in the high Sierras?


What's playing at the Radio City when the Don is shot?

The Bells of Saint Marys

Q: Who was "Mio frate" in Pt II

you forgot to mention FFC did record that meeting, so the execs still had the screentest they wanted!

The answer to my previous question as to what is Al Neris first line in the movie is: Al Neri, he introduces himself to Jonny Ola. Side note Willy Cicci says champagne cocktails

Don Vanchenzo and DontForgetTheCannolis are both wrong. The face on Michael's jacket is both Mama Corleone AND Sandra.

Q: What is playing on the radio when Sonny is shot?

The Dodgers(if I'm correct) baseball game that took place in the 50s (mistake anyone?)

How many lines did each Corleone son have in Part 1?
HaHa make you think a little!

Correction Valdius it is Kay, and theres no way its two faces look again. I know this b/c its from the old type of film they used in the 70's. Kay is sitting behind Michael and as a result when he stands up the image carries over.

How would you define a line, Don Sonny? Is a line a sentence, or is a line many sentences said uninterrupted?

thats kind of a ridiculous question dont you think? i dunno anyone who would spend time counting each line

My sentiments exactly Don Pope

There's a script on Geoff's website.....
A line is when a character's name comes up (in the script)and they say something.

someone post a new question

What's the matter? Scared of a little work? Ok new question- Marlon Brando was the "Moon Champion". What did he win?(what was it actually)

it was a belt, made especially for the moonchampion, like a boxing champion belt.


by which European filmmovement was the cinematical style of the Godfather films influenced?? (like most films of the early 70's/late 60's were inspired by European movements)

Tough question! Here's a shot:

A: The "Tableau" form of movie making.

Q: Why did Johnny Fontane think Don Vito was angry at him?

Hints for above question

1. Remember how straight-laced and conservative the Don was.

2. It was explained clearly in the novel.

Sorry guys - I didn't mean to kill both games!

A: Vito was angry with Johnny because he left his wife and kids for a young starlette.

New question:

He was consigliere before Tom.

"Pop had Genco, and look what I've got". Mark Geragos he wasn't.

Multo bene. Now, it's your turn to pose a question, Bella.

OK - what are Michael, and his bodyguards drinking in Corleone?

A: Chilled strega?

If I'm right,

Q: What does Fanuchi use to keep blood off of his suit after he's attacked by the young punks?

That sounds good to me. (To be honest,I didn't know the right answer but thought someone would)How do you know this?

A: Fanucci uses his hat to catch the blood.

Q: What other scene does the old man who sings at Connie and Carlo's wedding appear?

A: Don Vito's funeral scene.

Q: What is the first name of Sonny's "man in McCluskey's precinct".

Det John Phillips

How many times had Paulie been off sick in the couple of months before the Dons shooting?

Only maybe three, four times

What is the name of the restaurant where Michael kills Sollozo?

Easy peasy:
Louis' Restaurant in the Bronx

Q. What brand cigarette does Mike smoke?

To Don Vanchenzo - your answer to what scene does the singer from Connie's wedding appear in again is one of the correct answers - not the one I was looking for though. Can you guess again?

A: marlboros?

Rosetta
I can though
was it the Vito's Meeting with all the other Don's?

nop

For some reason Camels stick out in my mind. I dont want to ask antother quesrion because we got enough unanswered ones.

Ah, that is indeed the answer I was looking for. I wonder why he was at that meeting - any ideas?

Q: Who is the only character in the Godfather movies to be conceived on-screen?

Hyman Roth?

Vincenzo Corleone ?

sofia coppola

Has to be a loose link to the fact that Sonny is banging Lucy up against the door, end result Vincent.

Could always have been conceived during the deleted scene at her flat, but I assume this is the moment you are talking about.

The GF films are not exactly laced with sex scenes, so it is narrowed down to pretty much that one!

So I'm the one who got the answer right.

Question: Shortly after the war begins in GI, they bought themselves a new car.

New Question: In G2, Mama Corleone makes a face when Fredo's wife and Merle are seen together on the dance floor. She says something to Hagen. Is it ever established what she says, or is it left for the imagination? What about Hagen's reply?

Paulo,

Mr and Mrs Pete Clemenza?

Humm, I guess It was a little bit too imprecise.

I meant that since the war between the 5 families began, there are fewer soldiers in the streets and this non-italian group were able to take over.

They are now showing off in their new car, to Sonny great disgust ....

Another hint: This group of people bought themselves a Cadillac

The end of this game ???

Another hint. Sonny, Fredo, Connie, Mama, Carlo, Hagen, his wife are present in this scene.

Could you be talking about the FBI? I dont think thats right, but no one else seems to know...BTW if a question isnt answered w/i a reasonable amount of time (i.e. this one) you could tell us the answer and ask a diffrent one.

Answer: The black bookmakers at the docks. I won't use the racist slang Sonny does.

Question: To whom did Paulie sell his soul?

Question from me - How can we be sure Vincent was "conceived on film?" Certainly, Sonny and Lucy had more sex than Connie's wedding day and the day Sonny discovered Carlo beat her.

OOOOOOOOOOOH yeah. How could I have missed that.
Paulie sold his soul to the Tataglia-Barzini allaince.
What is the name of Anthony's Opera?

cavalleria rusticana / apollonia´s last name?

Q: who was hit at 4am in the morning?

A. Bruno Tattaglia

Q. What 3 things did Al Pacino learn whilst filming The Godfather?

Heres a hint, you'll find FFC saying the answers when Michael gets married.

I can only think of learning how to speak Sicilian, and when he's getting married...so...how to dance?

Yep and the third one is to drive.
I leave the next question to you Don Sonny Corleone.

How to drive?! He didnt really drive all that much.I though Bobby Deerfeild is when he learned to drive. Anywho-Why didnt Brando want to use the "lawyer w/ his briefcase can steal more...." line?

When are the only two times that an African- American character is shown in the trilogy?

Is one when Sonny is beating the crap out of Carlo?? Or do you mean with actual dialogue, cause then i cant even get one!!
(Pure guess at the moment, is the other one when Vito first comes to the country?)

Khartoum's groom in the Godfather and the real life mayor at the party in Part III.

Aaah, and I thought I got them all...

I missed Khartoum's groom I guess,

the other 2 I thought of are at Ellis Island and at the party in gf3.

As for dialogue, the only one I can think of is the one in GF3.

There are many instances when we hear the godfather waltz in the trilogy. However, there is only one case (I hope I am right this time) in which we hear the waltz along with lyrics. When is it?

Are you talking about when Anthony sings it, because that has the tune of one of the GF songs

No. Anthony sings to the tune of the "theme song" or brucca la terra, which we hear when Michael goes to Sicily after killing Solozzo.
I was talking about the waltz, heard here:

http://www.moviethemes.org/midis/midisg-o/gf_waltz.mid

i think theres only one instance when sumone sings to that tune,

in the godfather why didnt they never use the words mafia or cosa nostra

It was part of the "deal" they worked out w/ Bonnanno to film in new York.
Where was the actual site of the Corleone mantion?

Staten Island - Longfellow Road at the end of the dead end street.

As there is no question...
What make of car was Appolonia driving when it was blown up?

Alfa Romeo
What objects does she hit while learning to drive?

i think it was a chair... i maybe wrong ..

and the horn. You call it the horn..if i'm wrong
you know what I mean that thing on the steer that makes noise when you press on it..

And she also touched the steer
