Vito gets shot
This is Fredo weeping at the sight of his father Vito lying on the ground after being shot five times by Virgil Sollozzo's goons. Fredo cried out to his father, "Papa!"
Vito's final moments
This is Vito Corleone moments before he dies of stroke playing with his 3 year old grandson Anthony (Michael's son).
Sollozzo's meeting
This is the meeting that Virgil Sollozzo arranged to try to get Vito to help him secure his drug business. The deal was that Sollozzo would get 1 million dollars cash & legal protection and that Vito would get 30 percent of the profits of Sollozzo's drug business. Sollozzo hoped Vito would ask his political friends to give Sollozzo's drug business leeway. However, Vito knew better and turned down Sollozzo's offer. The men in the picture are (from left to right) Peter Clemenza, Fredo Corleone, Vito Corleone, and Tom Hagen.
The end of the meeting
This is Vito Corleone shaking hands with Sollozzo after the meeting. The men pictured are (from left to right) Tessio (Abe Vigoda), Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando), Fredo Corleone (John Cazale), Virgil Sollozzo (Al Lettieri), and Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall).
Vito makes the peace
The heads of the five New York crime families, much less the heads of the crime families from the rest of the country, would have expected Vito Corleone to settle Sonny's death peacefully. It was the wise decision, however. This meeting that Vito arranged was essential...it ended the war, but made the families fear the Corleone family less. This is Vito hugging Philip Tattaglia (Victor Rendina). (Ironically both of these men lost sons during the war: Sonny ordered Philip's son Bruno's death shortly after Vito's attempted murder and then Sonny was murdered, with the help of Carlo Rizzi, at Barzini's orders) Emilio Barzini (Richard Conte), who ordered the brutal hit, is celebrating beside the two men.
Sonny kicks ass!
This is our favorite "big thug" Sonny kicking Carlo's ass for beating up his sister.
Michael is mad
This is Michael in one of his crappy moods! Tom Hagen and Rocco Lampone are behind him.

TV Guide
This is a pretty neat TV guide featuring the cast from the Godfather part 1 announcing its debut on cable TV.
Hagen talking to Woltz Woltz angrily said no and thought Hagen was trying to "muscle" him. When Woltz found out that Hagen worked for Corleone, Woltz promptly invited him to his huge home. However, Woltz still didn't budge and said he wouldn't allow Fontane to appear in the film. Hagen left Woltz's house disappointed. However, that's when Woltz woke up the next morning to find the head of Khartoum at the foot of his bed (Khartoum was the name of his 600,000 dollar horse!)
Michael talking with the Archbishop Michael was swindled of over 700 million dollars, and betrayed by his friend Don Altobello all due to his efforts to become legitimate. It shows that Michael got the ball rolling over thirty-three years earlier due to his love for his father and now he could't stop it. Lucchesi would get Altobello to hire a professional assassin to kill Michael, but this was not to be. In front of the opera house that Anthony had just got done performing in, Michael was struck in the left shoulder because Mosca (the assassin) was pushed by a group of people so his accuracy was badly affected. Then he fired again, this bullet striking Michael's daughter Mary square in the chest. This all happened in front of Kay, Connie, Anthony, and Vincent. Vincent shot Mosca just after the shots were fired but not in time. The ending of the Godfather part three is one of the most heart-wrenching in film history.

Horse's Head!
This is Tom Hagen (right) talking to Jack Woltz (left). They are in Stage 7 of Woltz International Pictures in California and Hagen is asking Woltz to allow Johnny Fontane to star in the war film Woltz is going to begin filming.
This is Michael talking with Archbishop Gilday (not shown). This is shortly after Michael was awarded the order of St. Sebastian from the pope for his charitable work. This is the conversation where Michael promised to donate 500 million dollars to the Vatican Bank in return for control of International Immobiliare (a large, Vatican-affiliated, real-estate corporation) and turn it into an international conglomerate. Since the Vatican Bank had a 769 million dollar deficit, Gilday talked Michael into donating 600 million dollars and the deal was made. Gilday and Don Altobello (both of whom Michael trusted) were both under Don Lucchesi's control.
This is Michael in his office in the beginning scenes of the Godfather part 2.
