Trivia: Marlon Brando and Robert DeNiro are the only two actors to have won Oscars for playing the same character.
Trivia: The golden telephone presented to Batista is based in actual events. You can see the actual, gold-plated (not solid gold) telephone in Havana's Museum of the Revolution. The replica made for the movie looks pretty much like the original.
Trivia: This was the first sequel to win the Oscar for "Best Picture."
Trivia: The flashback scene at the end of the movie was supposed to include Marlon Brando, but on the day of the shoot, he didn't show up. However, Francis Ford Coppola had heard this rumour a few days before, and had come up with an alternate scene, which is the one in the movie. He says "Even though he wasn't there, you feel the Godfather's presence".
Trivia: For his cameo at the end of the film, James Caan received the same amount of money he received for the first film.
Trivia: Robert DeNiro went to a dentist and had smaller versions of the implants in Marlon Brando's mouth put in.
Trivia: Vito Corleone only speaks 17 words of English throughout the whole movie.
Chosen answer: Vito was born December 7, 1891, so he was 9 when he moved (Godfather II states: "In 1901, the family of nine-year-old Vito Andolini is killed"). However, it was by the early 1930's that Vito had established his criminal organization as the Corleone crime family, with him at the head. He died in July of 1955, making him 63 when he died. In real life, Marlon Brando, who played Don Corleone, was 47 at the time of filming.
