The Godfather (1972)

Trivia: Al Pacino's real-life grandfather was born in Corleone, Sicily, the same town that the fictional Vito Corleone, Michael's father, was born in and from where he adopted the family surname. As a child, Pacino's family called him "Sonny." That is the same nickname his on-screen brother, played by James Caan, was called. Revealed by Al Pacino on The Actor's Studio.

The Godfather (1972)

Continuity mistake: At the restaurant, Michael, Sollozzo, and Captain McCluskey have just sat down at the table and the waiter comes over to take their order and pour wine. McCluskey asks Sollozzo what's good to order, and he recommends the veal. Before the waiter leaves the table, McCluskey is suddenly eating his dinner, even though they just arrived. By the way he is using his knife and fork, it is obvious that he is eating an entree, and not a salad or an appetizer.
