Continuity: As Vincent Corleone rises toward power, he secures twin, long-haired, very buff bodyguards. As they patrol the opera house during the climactic ending, they are both killed by Michael's would-be assassin. Later, on the opera house steps, when Michael's daughter is shot, one of these bodyguards is clearly seen by the side of the assassin after Vincent has shot him.

Continuity: After their walk through the town of Corleone Michael and Kay sit at the dining table and talk. The knot of Michael's scarf keeps moving from the middle to the side and back. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix

Other: The close up of the Wall Street Journal mentioning Immobiliare seems to have operating instructions for a Windows program under the headline. The newspapers previous to this appearance also have a headline pasted onto another news topic altogether. The same happens later with the newspapers covering cleansing actions of the new pope. These papers date from March 27, 1980, although the events are supposed to take place in 1979.

Continuity: When Kay visits Michael in hospital the oxygen tube is sometimes running under his shoulder, sometimes across the pillow. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix

Continuity: When Michael, Anthony and Mary are walking along a wall, Anthony is holding a sheet of paper which he is studying at the beginning of the first shot in the scene. The paper is the picture of Michael in his limousine that Anthony drew as a child (and is seen in Godfather Part II). However, Anthony isn't given this picture until later in the film. Notice that they're wearing the same clothes in both scenes. Clearly a much longer scene was cut into two parts, and the second half is seen first.

Deliberate "mistake": When the heads of the families assemble in the Palazzo Azzuro in Atlantic City and get attacked from a helicopter the rotors make the glasses on the table shake and the piles of fruit in the bowls collapse. As the Palazzo looks like quite a solid building this effect is a bit exaggerated. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix

Continuity: When Mary comes to Vincent's club and they talk while he is cooking gnocchi, the salt container and the pans on the shelf keep changing positions. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix

Continuity: When Michael and the archbishop discuss the deficit of the Vatican bank, a folder on the table in front of Michael is only there when the camera is on Michael but not when it's on the bishop. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix

Continuity: When Joey Zasa comes to Michael to complain about Vincent, Michael asks Al Neri to get him. Al leaves and we hear the door close behind him.

But when Vincent does a Mike Tyson on Zasa's ear both Vincent's thug Squigilaro and Al come to separate the two opponents. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix

Continuity: When Vincent is not allowed to join the party in Michael's honor he starts a fight with the security guy. While they are wrestling the coat over Vincent's arm flies off, but reappears and again disappears in the following shots. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix

Continuity: After Mary has been killed Vincent runs down the steps of the opera house and shoots the assassin. In the next shot he is seen running down the steps again, now from the other side. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix

Continuity: When Calo assassinates Don Lucchesi, he grabs the Don's glasses and stabs him in the upper chest about three inches below the collar of his shirt, yet later, when Lucchesi is shown slumped in his chair and bleeding, the glasses are seen sticking out of his neck above the collar.

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Joey Zaza is murdered, one of his henchmen gets gunned down with a shotgun. Just before the blast hits him, the side of one of the wooden street stalls magically changes to a breakaway so he can crash through it dramatically, instead of just slumping down against it as he would in reality.

Continuity: When Mary asks her father if she is just a front of the foundation she holds her arms to her chest. When the camera angle changes her arms are crossed on the table. Also her hair falls over her shoulder totally differently. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix

Visible crew/equipment: When Zasa's two henchmen try to kill Vincent and he shoots the second one through the hand, you see a bulge in the guy's palm just before it explodes to create a 'hole'. Submitted by Nancy<>Felix
