I love the first two Godfather movies but there are major credibility gaps in both. For instance, it always bugs me when Michael proposes that he be the one to kill Sollozzo and McCluskey and Sonny makes fun of him, saying it’s not like in the Army where you shoot a guy from a mile away, etc. “Nice college boy” and all that, and I’m thinking “Michael, according to the movie, is a Marine combat veteran of the Pacific island campaign, he’s seen more gory, up-close violent death than all his brothers and father put together.” It drives me nuts that nobody ever points this out.
That’s just one.
Maybe so, but that scene introduced the word bada bing into the American lexicon. It was an invention of James Caan.
but as a marine he was also respectful enough not to try and put the others down with what he was really capable of....and in the end the marine was in charge...
