Did you know

• Al Pacino was offered $5 million to reprise his role as Michael. But Pacino wanted $7 million plus a percentage of the gross. Francis Ford Coppola refused. He threatened to rewrite the script by starting the story with Michael's funeral sequence instead of the film's introduction. Pacino agreed to the $5 million offer.

• Al Pacino stated that he did not agree with the portrayal of Michael in the film. He didn't believe that Michael would ever feel regret or remorse for his actions, especially the murder of his brother.

• Robert Duvall turned down the $1 million that the studio had offered to re-create his role of Tom Hagen. Duvall did not feel that his proposed salary was commensurate with what Al Pacino and Diane Keaton were getting ($5 million and $1.5 million, respectively). The character was subsequently written out. Duvall later defended his position, explaining that making money was the only reason to produce another Godfather movie after so many years.

FAQ

• Are any real, historical figures depicted in this film?
• How is it that Connie has gone from being severely opposed to ""the Corleone way" (or however one wants to define it) in the previous film, to now actively taking part in it to the point of even orchestrating someone's untimely demise directly herself?
• What makes Michael believe there is a bigger "brain" than Zasa behind the helicopter attack and what evidence does he get of who that person really is?
