The Godfather (1972)

Revealing mistake: When Sollozzo picks up Tom Hagen after killing Luca Brasi, you can easily tell that the snow falling is made of thin plastic.

The Godfather (1972)

Revealing mistake: When Michael is riding in the car with Sollozzo before the assassination, notice the headlights in the rear window during the close-up. You can notice that many of them move directly on top and underneath each other, impossible for real car's headlights to do such a thing. (01:21:25)

The Godfather (1972)

Easter egg: Go to the Galleries section and select 'DVD Credits'. Press 'Next' a few times until you reach the last screen on the DVD credits menu. Press 'Next' again to see a scene from The Sopranos where they try to watch a bootlegged copy of the Godfather on DVD. Very funny.

The Godfather (1972)

Continuity mistake: During the strangulation of Luca Brasi, two mistakes occur between the front and side shots of him dying. First the knife in his hand disappears; second his head goes from being about a foot under the counter to about 6 inches over. (00:43:30)

The Godfather (1972)

Revealing mistake: When Vito Corleone is walking Johnny Fontane out of his office, he opens the door and you can see an extra walk by and stop, look at the camera and actors, and back up out of the shot. (Mentioned on the commentary). (00:24:30)
