Revealing mistake: Several newspaper spins show Michael Corleone in the headline, but a screen shot reveals body copy that is unrelated or outdated. For example, the headline dated 1979 has copy referring to events occurring in the 1990's. Another has body copy with instructions from a software manual.

Other mistake: In the Mafia World, Vincent would have never been appointed boss of a family without first being initiated as a full member of Cosa Nostra, working his way up the ladder from soldier to Capo, etc. As far as we know, Vincent, from the beginning, was only an associate working for Joey Zasa, then starts tagging alongside Michael, who gives him control of the Corleone Family later, after his failing health.

Other mistake: In the mafia world of Cosa Nostra, anyone that puts their hands on a made member, especially a low-level associate such as Vincent, would be immediately killed. Vincent would not have been allowed to live for viciously assaulting a mafia Capo, as was the rank of Joey Zasa in the film. Not even Michael could have saved him from such a fate had this been true.
