According to Diane Keaton, Coppola thought that Al Pacino was perfect for the role of Michael Corleone against the opposition of the entire film studio and producers who wanted him out, they all thought he wasn't good for the role. But then Coppola jumped the gun and shot a single scene, ahead of schedule, with Al Pacino and after watching it everyone agreed that Coppola's choice was genius. This was that scene.

Now for something like this, youre gonna need one gun. Youre gonna want something with more power than a 22. You definitely dont want a silencer, you want to make alot of noise to make the witnesses run away so they aint gonna be looking at you. But not the noise a 45 makes because that makes too much noise and a patrol car can hear that a few blocks away at least. Sometimes with something like this, you might want to go to the bathroom first. It makes sure no one follows you in, and it makes sure no one is in the bathroom that you have to worry about. It also gives you a chance to go to the bathroom. You dont want to be uncomfortable. It also is the place where your given gun is.

Sadly, Pacino had forgotten how to be Michael. And Coppola's daughter, Sofia, despite her incredible beauty, couldn't act her way out of a ziploc bag. Joe Mantegna's Joey Zaza JUST missed the mark. He gets an A for effort. Sadly nobody could save the film. Now, on its own, away from its two predecessors, it's not a bad movie. It's just not on the same level as the first two, both Best Picture Oscar winners and deservedly so.

I saw it when it came out in 1972. I was amazed how good it was. Since that time, I've watched it about 6 more times. I never tire of it. That's the sign of a superb movie.

"I frisked a thousand young punks." And this was the last young punk he would ever frisk.

The scene has to start with the conversation where Michael plots it and volunteers to do it. From that scene until this scene is probably one of the greatest examples of filmmaking in history. Just what Pacino does with his eyes in the seconds before he shoots them is like an eternity.

No more Solloza tricks, no more Solozzo lies

One of the greatest movies, and one of the best scenes, but McCluskey head butting the table after taking a bullet to the brain is some funny shit.

I never noticed, but both the turk and captain already had their headshots done by makeup before michael shot them. look right before Sollozzo is shot, the blood stain is already their; when McCluskey is shot in the throat, he also has the blood stain on his forehead. The magic of movies.

Remember that the bullet break the sound barrier

I love the morality play about complacency. "I've frisked a thousand young punks". Hayden, btw, was also a brilliant author and a thorough genius/rebel. He was picky about doing anything in H'wood and opted instead to spend most of his time hanging out in Sausalito, working on The Wanderer, his sailboat. He preferred only real "working boats". His book, The Voyage is page-turner.

Dude my anxiety always goes up when he goes for the gun. Lol

For me this scene was most like what was portrayed in the book. In the book, when Michael sat back down, he was so keyed up that he couldn't understand Sollozzo speaking Italian. It was pure gibberish. In the movie they show this by having the subway noise drown out Sollozzo and before that there was no longer subtitled translation

I will never forget the first time I saw the Godfather. I was in my late teens. I always enjoyed mob stuff but somehow got to this a little later than Goodfellas and Casino. This scene and the buildup to it was so gripping I felt nervous for Michael when he was doing this hit. I felt like it was me onscreen doing it and was nervous that the gun was not going to be in the bathroom. Lol.

Actually the newer design “the flushometer” showed up in 1906, so while many older businesses in the city might still be the old design with the elevated box, the newer designs would be common in newer commercial settings and by the 1940s, especially in big cities, the flushometer would be very widespread and the elevated box would definitely be considered “old fashioned” for a commercial setting.

A fascinating piece of trivia: Sergio Leone was approached before Coppola to direct the movie but he turned down the opportunity because he thought the subject wasn't interesting enough. I'd love to be able to visit al alternate universe where Leone does direct The Godfather so I can then watch it and compare it to the Coppola version.
