I'm guessing that this is the "Saga" version that has been shown many times on cable over the years. It is the definitive version of GF and II, put together in chronological order--and, very importantly--with about 45 minutes of peerless deleted scenes included in the right places. Though I have all the versions of GF and II (including the Saga), I'm recording this HBO version because it's in hi-def, and (I'm hoping) they may have unearthed deleted scenes that haven't been shown, though I doubt it.

Let me know how it is, guys. Very curious to see what (if anything) new it brings to the table.

If you’re an HBO or HBO Now subscriber (or if you’ve somehow managed to obtain a password) you currently have access to an interesting cinematic beast: a 424-minute cut of Francis Ford Coppola’s first two Godfather films, recut in chronological order and bolstered with a number of scenes cut from the theatrical releases in 1972 and 1974.

The Godfather Epic, as it’s being called, begins with the story of a young Vito Corleone (played by 10-year-old Oreste Baldini, and later a 30-year-old Robert DeNiro) as he transforms himself from destitute immigrant to powerful mafioso. (You might recognize this section as the flashback scenes that were interspersed throughout The Godfather: Part II.) The action then leaps forward to 1945, as a 49-year-old Marlon Brando takes over the role. Aside from some newly re-inserted scenes here and there, this is pretty much the entirety of the original Godfather film from start to finish. This section ends with Michael, the youngest Corleone son (Al Pacino), taking the reins of the business after his father’s death, and the rest of the narrative follows Michael’s storyline from the late ’50s section of Part II. (No footage from 1990’s Part III is included, for obvious reasons.)

Older fans might remember a similar cut—marketed alternately as The Godfather Saga or The Godfather: The Complete Novel For Television—that aired as a miniseries on NBC back in 1977 and was later released on VHS.

The Godfather Epic began streaming on HBO Go and HBO Now shortly after it aired on HBO proper this past Sunday night.

Thank you and its good seeing your name there and the number grew to close 9 thousand members. Being number 66th member make me feel older and wiser for these younglings to learn from.

The only thing they left out of both movies was a scene at the end. I am sure it was included but cut from godfather 2 was never included in this. they left out the killing of the Rossado brothers. Michael talked about it as the end.

Its available here to download all you need is a torrent client.

Godfather a novel for tv

Watch about an hour this morning lots of scenes not in the movies, for example when they discuss the retribution on the movie producer, the death of Genco in the hospital and Vito getting revenge on the men who called his name as child. I have not watched the films for year but dont think they were in there.

An interesting change in the order of things in GFII:

In the theatrical release, Michael has his tender moment with Anthony in his bedroom after the Tahoe shooting. But, in the "Epic" version, that scene take place before the shooting.

I hope it does and I think it's likely to happen eventually. It's the ultimate experience after one has seen the original films. It will probably be exclusively on HBO for the time being.

I don't think the one on amazon is the one that aired on HBO a few years ago, that had both 1 and 2 in chronological order. That one was called "The Godfather Saga".


"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea

Correction, it was called The Godfather Epic. The Godfather Saga was the same thing but made for tv and edited for content. The epic is the whole thing uncut. As far as I know it only aired on HBO and was never available for retail.

I wish they would put The Godfather epic on Blu-ray. I love that version with it in chronological order and all of the deleted scenes included. My favorite way to watch the series.

Yes it's great. It's the only way I want to watch the franchise now, since I've seen the theatrical versions so many times. I've got my dvr set to grab it if hbo ever airs it again. Its nowhere to be found on the firestick apps either....so I hear.

Yeah, I have looked too. Of course it aired at a point when my DVR was not functioning.

Have to bump this thread. Anyone know if it's streaming anywhere? I'll sign up for the service right now. Only old VHS copies available for retail. Don't believe a blu-ray was ever released.
