    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Robert De Niro spent four months learning to speak the Sicilian dialect of Italian in order to play Vito Corleone. Nearly all of the dialogue that his character speaks in the film was in Sicilian.
    • Goofs
      During Roth's birthday party, the pattern on his shirt changes. Due to weather difficulties, the two minute scene took over a week to shoot and the original shirt was lost at some point. The production designer attempted to recreate it by drawing an approximation of the pattern onto a plain shirt, but it didn't quite match.
    • Quotes

      Michael Corleone: My father taught me many things here - he taught me in this room. He taught me: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

    • Crazy credits
      As with the first film, no opening credits are shown. Although it is now commonplace for films not to have opening credits, it was considered innovative in 1974.
    • Alternate versions
      In the German theatrical version, all Italian dialogs from the young Vito Corleone's scenes were dubbed into German, as well as the English and Spanish dialogs from Michael Corleone's scenes. The original Italian language for this footage has been only restored for the movie's DVD release in 2002.

    10/10
    One of the greatest films ever made.
    To say that this film is a sequel is a sin. Al Pacino and Robert de Niro win the Oscar for this film, Robert de Niro's performance as Vito Corleone is perfect, every scene in which this one is perfect. Al Pacino as always perfect and unlike the first film, he is much better.

    PROS:

    EVERYTHING. The script, the direction, the cast, the performance, everything in this film is perfect and its 3 hours are worth it.

    CONS:

    NOTHING. This movie is perfect.

    FAQ29

    • Are any real, historical figures depicted in this film?
    • What caused Vito's raspy voice as an adult? Was it because he had smallpox as a child?
    • When Michael asked Roth who authorized the hit on Pentangeli, Roth seemed caught off guard. Did Roth know what happened to Frankie after the botched killing?? Or did he know Frankie was alive, and assumed that Michael knew too??
