To venture off topic a bit again, Frankie actually does NOT apologize for being drunk, although that is what the subtitles say. In Italian, he says, Sono stanco e sono biliato (I apologize for spelling, but am writing phonetically), which means, I am tired and I am bilious, which means I am full of bile or irritated. That "drunk" translation always bothered me.

Yeah, the translatio could be wrong, but he was drunk.

I always get a kick out of the smart-ass look on Solozzo's face when he tells Mike "Im not that clevah."


"Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!"

Boathouse, when Michael is patiently listening to what Fredo had to say on his defense...I am smart & sooo on....
Mike anything else i should know??
Then hit's Fredo with...YOUR NOTHING TO ME NOW...NOT A BROTHER....NOT A FRIEND....I DON'T WANT TO KNOW YOU , OR WHAT YOU DO!

I have wanted to say that to a few family members myself!
Just love that scene not funny but memorable

I like the birthday scene on the rooftop when Roth says "smaller slice"

In that same vein, I always love Wolts looking totally ridiculous when he says "And a man in my position cannot afford to be made to look ridiculous"

The smile on Tom's face while Michael was describing his plans for the Sollozzo - McCluskey murders. He was practically laughing at him.

i always thought the bit where clemenza is instructing michael on what to do during the shooting was the funny. the bit im talkin about is where clemenza asks michael what he has to do once hes shot them both in the head. Michael replies "sit down, finish my dinner" \:D


On this scene.... Michael did just about everything different than Clemenza instructed.

Clemenza - "2 shots to the head each"
Michael - one shot to Solozzo in head and one shot to McClusky in head and one in neck

Clemenza - "let your arm fall to your side and drop the gun"
Michael - raises arm and flips gun

Clemenza - "walk dont run"
Michael - more than walks out

Clemenza - "dont look anyone in the eye but dont look away"
Michael - probably stared someone down outside and then looked away


Didnt follow instructions well...

as for my subtle scene...

when Michale flicks his lighter when talking to Moe Green... nonchalantly moved it from one hand to another(or whatever he did)... very carefree

What is Micheal thinking about when he hung up the bell. Did he find it terrible to call to a dead man's house?

I think this has been mentioned before, but I always laugh at the little hop Fredo does when he enters the room in Vegas where the band, Johnny and the babes are waiting to party with Michael.

I love the scene at the beginning of the first movie when Vito is talking to Bonasera...and Bonasera says "Be my friend, Godfather? Please?" I just love the expression on Vito's face...the way he makes Bonasera squirm. Priceless.

The way Paulie Gatto kicks the camera that Sonny busted on the ground. Very subtle yet showed some loyalty, that we all know evaporated later on.

Dont know if its really that subtle..but Vito's face when Luca repeats "on the day of your daughters wedding".Just the expression on Brando's face makes me smile everytime

According to FFC, Brando had a sign on his forehead saying "F*** you" while Luca was giving his speech. Brando was a funny guy.

Yes, and Vito does something similar to Johnny Fontaine in his "You can act like a man" rant.

The two bodyguards are describing Apollonia to her father with one guard repeating the other straight out of abbott and costello.


In addition to Vitelli putting up his suspenders to give himself a look of formality....

This was mentioned before, the guy doing the "fairy dance" at the wedding. \:o

From the first film, I always get a laugh when they're carrying Vito up the stairs upon release from the hospital. Sonny is holding his son, who gives Clemenza a good punch to the stomach.


That scene was where Brando did another funny prank. Unbeknown to the men that carried him up the steps, Brando put extra weights on the stretcher, giving the men a surprise when they had to lift him. \:D

Frankie Five Angels drinking out of the hose.


You know something Don T? That scene with Frankie drinking out of the hose was just another fine example of FFC's fine attention to detail. Being brought up in an Italian family, I could clearly remember, on a hot summer day, my Grandfather and my uncles drinking out of the hose while playing a game of Bocce. FFC being an italian himself must have had similar memories.


Don Cardi 8)


I don't know if it is necessarily a "Italian" thing, drinking out of a hose, as much as it being city thing. Us Irish kids from Philly were tough, we would drink right out of the spigot, we didn't need any stinkin hose

No, it's not particular to the italian culture. However The Godfather movies are about an italian family, FFC is from an italian family, and I happen to be from an italian family.

So what I was pointing out was that FFC probably took something he witnessed happen as an italian kid or something, done by his italian family, and inserted a small detail like that which reminded me, who is from an italian family, of something that my italian grandfather and my italian uncles did in front of me when I was a young kid spending time with my italian family.

Oh, by the way, Frank Pentangeli was also an italian. ;\)

Surprised no one has said this yet. When Kay unexpectedly comes to the house and Tom meets her out front. She looks at the remnants of an exploded car and asks "what's that?"

Tom smiles and and says it "was an accident, but no one got hurt."

Did we ever get an explanation of that car in the book or a deleted scene?

Its been awhile since I read the book, but I seem to remember a passage in the book, that might have explained the damaged car in the mall.

How about Enzo the baker at the hospital.

MICHAEL (coming out of hiding)

Who are you?



ENZO

I am Enzo, the baker -- Do you remember me?



MICHAEL

Enzo...



ENZO

Yes, Enzo...



MICHAEL

You better get out of here, Enzo; there's gonna be trouble...



ENZO

If there is trouble, I stay here to help you. For your father -- for your father
