I prefer "how's the food in this Italian restaurant" and Sonny's fake punches to almost anything in Godfather 2, despite the fact that the second is a better movie in every way.

How different would the third movie have been had they gotten Winona Ryder as intended? Would it have been any better? I always wondered that.

Considering that Sofia Coppola is a horrendous actress there's no way it could have been worse.

Winona doesnt save that movie though. Coppola gets too much blame for being the most obvious had part of a massively bad film.

Yeah, George Hamilton for example, is a way bigger problem with the film.

This may be a stupid observation, and I haven't seen Part 2 in years, but I always thought the live sex show in Cuba was odd, with the guy they called "Superman." Would such wealthy and prominent people have gone to something like that back then, in that setting?

EDIT: Apparently that was all real, and that's exactly what rich folks did:

I also always wondered about how the Don knew it was Barzini all along.

Live sex shows were a part of the fabric of orientalist pulp fiction going all the way back to travelogue literature. It's like a full quarter of Mondo Cane.

Mondo Cane is not actually that good compared to a fair amount of Mondo movies, but obviously extremely important.

Even if that were the case, the two movies stapled together are two excellent movies excellently edited together.
