Plot hole: When Michael is punched, the Don has just been shot and is near death. A gang war ensues and progresses. The Don recovers enough to be brought home. Michael moves to Italy, meets, courts, and marries his girl. Sonny is killed. Michael's wife learns to drive and is assassinated - and still, Michael has very visible remains of his black eye. Way too much time must have passed for this to be possible.
The Godfather (1972)
1 plot hole - chronological order
Directed by: Francis Ford Coppola
Starring: Robert Duvall, Al Pacino, Diane Keaton, James Caan, Marlon Brando, Richard S. Castellano
Revealing mistake: When Sonny is punching Carlo under the spraying fire hydrant, he misses an audible punch by at least six inches. (01:43:30)
Trivia: The infant playing Connie and Carlo's baby son Michael Francis Rizzi who Kay holds during the christening scene is Sofia Coppola, Francis Ford Coppola's daughter, who was born in May 1971. Sofia later had a prominent role in Part III as Michael's daughter, Mary. Other than the main characters, Sofia is the only actor to have appeared in all three films. In The Godfather II, she can be briefly seen as an immigrant girl on the ship that brings Vito Corleone to Ellis Island.
