Mistakes

The close up of the Wall Street Journal mentioning Immobiliare seems to have operating instructions for a Windows program under the headline. The newspapers previous to this appearance also have a headline pasted onto another news topic altogether. The same happens later with the newspapers covering cleansing actions of the new pope. These papers date from March 27, 1980, although the events are supposed to take place in 1979. See more...

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry When Al Pacino needs sweet drinks and candy bars to help him relieve his diabetes attack, we see a priest behind them leave for these items, he then returns with a whole tray of orange juice and candy bars. The remarkable thing is, he does this task in only 6 seconds. I don't think that the tray had been set before: If Michael had arranged that he would have asked for the tray and not just for some sweet juice and candy. If not, how would tray contain exactly the items Michael had asked for? [Orange juice and candy are common items in most kitchens, and it would take only a few seconds to put them on a tray and bring them.]
Time
Entry In the beginning of the movie, Michael is awarded the Order of St. Sebastian. In actually, it is the Order of St. Sylvester. Coppola changed the name so not to offend the Catholic Church. [A fictional award in a fictional film - even one with references to real life events - is not a mistake, not even a deliberate one.]
Entry The Godfather Part III story is suppose to take place in 1980, yet the characters are sporting 1990's mens hair and clothing fashion. For example: slicked back short hair, black leather jackets with long narrow lapels, dark colored suits with thin lapels and matching dark ties, etc. The mens fashion of 1980 you'd see longer hair, usually parted in the middle and feathered back. Jackets, whether leather, suit or leisure suit, had wide lapels. Suits would sometimes be plaid, but often in loud colors like maroon, red, light blue or lime green with the thick wide white belt and white shoes. [Leisure suits were 70s fasions. But beyond that, not everyone cares what the fasion trend is. Short slicked back hair dates back to the 40s and 50s. I can find clothes today with both wide and narrow lapels.]

Entry After Vincent kills the would-be assassins in his apartment, Michael is upset with him indicating that the assassins had only knives. This is at odds with the previous scene where the blond assassin fires several shots into his bed. [After Vincent wrestles the gun away from the blonde, they are only armed with knives. What Michael is upset about is that Vince didn't hold them at gunpoint and call the police, which he could have done after taking the gun. Instead, Vincent breaks the law himself by shooting them, thereby drawing unwanted attention to himself and the Corleone family.]

Entry Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul I, who both died in 1978, figure in the plot of this film set in 1979. [While this is true, Francis Ford Coppola has said repeatedly that he plays "fast and loose" with the timelines in all of his films. The time between the end of GF1 and the beginning of GF2 should be roughly ten years despite Kay's "seven years ago" speech, and Mary should be close to 30 by the time GF3 begins, but she's not.]
Entry When Al Pacino needs sweet drinks and candy bars to help him relieve his diabetes attack he takes a candy bar from the tray and drops it then produces another from within his hands as if he never dropped it. You see it on a slow scan. [In one uncut shot Michael picks two candy bars, drops one of them, then opens the other one.]
