Am I the only one who thinks that DeNiro's picture should have been on the GF2 DVD instead of Pacino's? Why does Pacino get to have his mug on the GF2 & GF3 DVD?

Don't worry, I don't think it's going to be something De Niro would be too worried about. That aside I do kinda agree with you.

Pacino was the lead actor and Michael Corleone was the main character in Both GF2 and GF3. Though DeNiro's role as young Vito was highly significant in GF2, it was still a supporting role.

Pacino deserves the facetime on both DVDs.

TRUE!

In watching the Saga, you'll notice that the DeNiro years of GF2 are 50 Minutes, while the Pacino years of GF2, are over 2 1/2 hours!

I Still LOVE DENiro though!

Whosef ace will be on Godfather 4? DeNiro, Garcia, or DiCaprio! lol

If there were to be a GF4,the cover of the dvd would be of Al Pacino with 20 facelifts,so he would be able to go back in time.

It is a good thing they didn't use a current picture of Brando on the Godfather 1 DVD. It would have taken 4 discs just to fit all of him in.

Sorry.

Thank god somebody else knows DiCrapio isn';t a Mafioso!

Forget Pacino, he;s not an option for GF4, if he DOES play apart its gonna take abackseat to DeNiro's part (Opposite of GF2!)

I agree. Yes, he has grown to be a whale now, but I will always respect him as one of the greatest living actors regardless his weight.

Hmmm I find myself editing a lot more nowadays, even from simple spelling mistakes such as "wait" and "weight" wink Plus I don't like double posting and I always forget to put in everything I wanted to say.

This was a travesty. In an interview with Pacino I read somewhere (sorry dont remember where) he was on the street and a woman said to him 'oh hiya Michael' and he realised to her he 'was' Michael how better can you get than that. I just remembered I think the interview was from Al Pacinos Loft.

This may be a bit off topic, but I also have been waiting to see this 'Gangs...' flick, and the authenticity of the setting is fantastic in the trailers. Scorsese had to publicly curse DiCaprio out on the set of 'Gangs...' for coming in late one morning smelling like weed and liquor and looking like he hadn't slept. He ran down the names of people he'd worked with (DiNiro and Pesce included) whom had sacrificed and learned new languages, gained weight and/or trained hard for parts in films along with NEVER making people wait. He then asked the kid in public what made him think he was so high and mighty...him and his stupid sinking boat movie. The director then asked him if he was gay, seeing that the scene that was to be shot that day was DiCaprio kissing Cameron Diaz. Scorsese then demanded a public apology and DiCaprio ashamedly did so. Then to top it off Martin instructed the crew that instead of the kissing scene, DiCaprio had to do a boxing scene with Oscar De Leon on a wharf with no stunt double. I know this sounds like a bunch of trashy gossip,(no...it is a bunch of trashy gossip blush )but the whole transcript of exactly what Scorsese said was in the NY Daily News (or Post) and was so funny I cried. lol

My thought: two discs...two actors. As for Dicrapio...I agree with DTM...he should stick to titanic type movies...yeah, ones where he dies.

There are men in this world who go about demanding to be killed. You must have noticed them. They quarrel in gambling games, they jump out of their automobiles in a rage if someone so much as scratches their fender, they humiliate and bully people whose capabilities they do not know. I have seen a man, a fool, deliberately infuriate a groop of dangerous men, and he himself without any resources. These are people who wander arround the world shouting 'Kill me. Kill me.' And there is always someone always ready to oblige them. We read about it in the newspapers everyday. Such people of course do a great deal of harm to others also.

Hi,
I watched the movie on VHS before I bought the DVD collection. It was supposed to be the remastered THX version of the movie. On tape 2 there is a problem in the original print. The picture seems to shimy in the background and the picture was a bit distorted. This was in one of the DeNiro scenes involving the old lady and the dog and continued until the Fredo scene.
