- Marlon Brando was originally considered to be the main guest actor in the flashback at the end of the film, but in view of the way Paramount treated him in the first episode of "The Godfather," he refused to film even if it was only for one day.
- Coppola originally planned to shoot Mike and his 18-year-old son Anthony in the final scene, but the shooting time was too late that day and the light was too dark, and this scene was not completed.
- Vittorio Storaro declined the invitation to be the photographer of the film because he felt that the film could not exceed the first episode of "The Godfather".
- De Niro's lines are basically Italian Sicilian.
- Lee Strasberg contracted an illness during filming, so the script was modified to change the character of Hyman into a weak old man.
- Hyman Ross is based on the real Jewish gangster Meyer Lansky, who is the godfather of the Jewish gang. After the film was released, he called Strassberg, "Why don't you act me more sympathetically? After all, I am now a grandfather."
- James Can asks him to play Sonny Krini in the end flashback, and he should be paid the same as he did in the first movie. As a result, he got his wish.

Emmm feels that the biggest difference between the second-generation godfather and the first-generation godfather is that he is not more friendly and equal to his relatives like the first-generation godfather, and the second-generation godfather is more self-centered. This also led to the final marriage of the second generation of godfathers to break up, and the ending of relatives leaving one after another.

Both Hayman's prototype Meyer and Mike's prototype Gambino have seen the film, and both of them died in good health. But in the show, Meyer died, and I can probably understand how angry he was to complain to the actor who played him... The film is really from Gambino's standpoint. However, Gambino has done bad things all his life. Not only did he die safely, but he also financed this film to beautify himself, and slaughtered a few people he hated in the film.
