One factoid I heard (but I dont know if its true), that the reason why you dont hear the word “mafia” in the first godfather is because the real mafia threatened them to have the word taken out. So it was.

The Mafia never refers to itself as the “Mafia.” they also called in “LA Costra Nostra”-—this thing of ours...

In fact, the Mafia loved these movies so much that they started to imitate the actors. They thought that those movies were pieces of garbage, and some romanticised view of the Mob, which it was...

Also, James Caan started to “hang” around a couple of “suspected crime figures” that the FBI have on the survelliance audio hanging out them.
