- 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" .

Maybe it was because I was not interrupted in the middle of the movie, or because Alger was getting older and his acting skills became more mature, the third part felt much better than the second. If the five most important words of the Count of Monte Cristo are expectation and waiting, then the theme of the Godfather series is responsibility and responsibility, or gain and sacrifice. The three godfathers, from 72 years, 74 years to 90 years, still have quality and quantity, and Coppola is also extraordinary.

The Godfather: Part III quotes
-
Joey Zasa: I earned that territory with my talent. Commission gave it to me, and you approved.
Michael Corleone: Yes.
Vincent Mancini: Hey, Uncle Mike, I came here for the party. I'm not here to ask you for any kind of help. I could just kill this bastard. He's the one who needs the help.
Michael Corleone: So kill him. What does all this have to do with me?
Vincent Mancini: Well, he's going around behind your back saying "Fuck Michael Corleone" all the time. See, that's one thing it has to do with you, right?
Vincent Mancini: [to Zasa] Say it to his face one time, say it to his face. ONE TIME!
Joey Zasa: Mr. Corleone, all bastards are liars. Shakespeare wrote poems about it.
Vincent Mancini: What am I gonna do with this guy, Uncle Mike. WHAT AM I GONNA DO WITH THIS GUY!
Michael Corleone: Joey, if there is some guy running around this city saying "Fuck Michael Corleone," what do we do with a piece of shit like that? He's a fuckin' dog.
Joey Zasa: Yes, it's true, if anyone would say such a thing they would not be a friend, they would be a dog.
Michael Corleone: My interests don't conflict with Mr. Joe Zasa's.
Vincent Mancini: Oh you don't know how much your interests conflict with Mr. Joe Zasa's, Uncle Michael.
Connie: He needs your support, Michael!
Vincent Mancini: Don't let me work for this guy no more, Uncle Mike. Let me come work for you.
Michael Corleone: For me? As what? Tough guy? I don't need tough guys. I need more lawyers. Since we have no conflicts, no debts, I accept your tribute. I wish you well. Vincent, make your peace with Mr. Joe Zasa, come on.
Joey Zasa: [Vincent hugs Zasa] Bastardo.
Michael Corleone: [Vincent bites Zasa's ear and Zasa is taken out of the office] Oh, Jesus Christ! Close it.
Vincent Mancini: Hey Uncle Mike, I told Connie this wasn't the right time for this. I mean, I know you're into bankers and Wall Street but everyone knows you're the final word, you're like the Supreme Court! All I want to do is protect you from these guys and your lawyers can't do that.
Michael Corleone: But you can.
Vincent Mancini: Yeah, I can do that.
Michael Corleone: And why should I be afraid of Joe Zasa?
Vincent Mancini: Well, he knows you're stopping him from rising up in the commission, Uncle Mike. I say we make him dead. You give me the order and I'll take care of it.
Michael Corleone: You'll take care of it? Maybe you should come with me for a few weeks. See what happens. See if you learn. Then, we'll talk about your future.
Vincent Mancini: I won't let you down.
Michael Corleone: Alright, go on.

Don Altobello: [regarding Vincent] This is the hero who put Joey Zasa in his grave. If we'd known of his existence, we would never have backed Joey.
Don Lucchesi: No one wants another Joe.
