- Sofia Coppola (daughter of director Francis Ford Coppola), plays the daughter of Michael Corleone, rather than continuing to play his nephew in the first episode of The Godfather (1972). Winona Ryder originally played this role, but she declined because of fatigue.
- Tom Hagen was included in the original script. Because he didn't negotiate his compensation with Paramount, Robert Duvery refused to perform. As a result, the role of BJ Harrison was re-modified to look like Hagen. Robert Duver proposed in the movie that he was playing Tom Hagen and he should be paid five million dollars. The producers rejected this request and re-arranged the role, with George Hamilton playing the role of the new lawyer BJ Harrison. There is a line in the current line: Hagen has been dead for several years.
- After the church ceremony, at Michael Corleone’s party, the first song played by the band, named Cuban Rhapsody (Cuban Rhapsody), with the godfather in the nightclub scene of the second episode (1974), the performer at the New Year’s Eve party The song "Yolanda" sings has the same tune.
- At Michael's party, a close-up of twin sisters with long black hair can be seen in the crowd. In the first episode of The Godfather, you can also see two girls who look alike in the scene when Don Vito Clini returns from the hospital.
- The twins are Sonny's daughters.
- The aunt in the role of Sophia Coppola is her own aunt Terai Shale.
- In the trilogy of the "Godfather" series, the appearance of oranges implies that a death or an end is imminent. Michael Corleone died next to some oranges. When the helicopter hit it, an orange was rolling on the table.
- Francis Ford Coppola agreed to the shooting plan, partly to solve his personal and studio funding difficulties. Paramount passed a $56 million budget with some strict conditions: he must pay the author-producer-director a million-dollar remuneration, the final version of the film must not be less than 140 minutes, and Any other extra expenses in the film will be borne by Coppola himself.
- Director Coppola and screenwriter, original author of the novel Mario gave the film the name "The Death of Michael Corleone." Because they tend to think that this film is the end of the first and second, rather than the third. However, the production company Paramount would not agree at all. Taking into account the company’s financial interests, the company naturally wanted to make the third film a blockbuster about the new generation of Godfather Vincent, and rudely named the film "The Godfather 3" .

The first two are about chaos and maintenance of order. The third is about wanting to retreat and integrating into the power structure. The two generations of godfathers are not capable of good or bad. The comparison is different problems in different times. Different ways of coping. Three generations of godfathers behave in the same way. At the end Mike lay next to the dog, the world is a dog, this is destiny
