This picture above is (from left to right) of young Tessio (John Aprea) young Vito (Robert De Niro), and young Clemenza (Bruno Kirby). They are in New York City's "Little Italy" section. Shortly after this scene, young Vito went into a cafe where Don Fanucci was drinking. Vito gave Fanucci 100 dollars (Fanucci wanted 200 dollars apiece from Vito, Clemenza, and Tessio because they were already committing petty thefts and had recently stole 600 dollars each). Fanucci admired Vito's guts at the way he disrespected him by not paying in full. Don Fanucci offered Vito a job for good money and then left for his apartment.Vito climbed on to the top of the row houses across the street from Don Fanucci and followed Fanucci as he walked. When Vito arrived at Fanucci's tennament, he grabbed the pistol that Clemenza planted for him and wrapped it with a cloth to silence it. He pick-locked the back entrance and partially unscrewed the lightbulb next to Fanucci's door. When Fanucci arrived, he tapped the bulb and it came back on. He unlocked his door and was about to go in but turned around and saw Vito with the cloth around his hand and said, "What've you got there?"
Vito didn't answer and shot the "Black Hand" square in the chest. Fanucci ripped open his vest and screamed. Vito then shot him in the face. Fanucci struggled to remain standing but it was futile and he fell...his dead body leaning up against the wall in a sitting-up position. The cloth on the gun catching on fire from the spark and Vito had to take it off. Vito dropped to one knee and fired one more shot into Fanucci's mouth and took back the 100 dollars out of Fanucci's coat pocket.
Vito went back onto the roof and disposed of the cloth. He then proceeded to smash the pistol into tiny pieces. He took the tiny pieces and dropped them down the chimneys nearby. After that was done, he went back home as if nothing ever happened.
The photo above is a Japanese program with Marlon Brando on the front.
This is a photo of Michael just before he gets up and shoots Virgil Sollozzo (Al Lettieri) and Captain McCluskey (Sterling Hayden).
This infamous photo above is Michael firing a shot into McCluskey's neck. This is just after Michael killed Sollozzo instantly with a single gunshot to the head (that's Sollozzo leaning back in the chair at the head of the table). Get this: Michael shot McCluskey in the neck and then in the head, but McCluskey didn't die right away! He staggered around in total agony until he finally "kicked the bucket" when he fell forward through the table.
This is the final scene of the Godfather Part 3. It is an elderly Michael Corleone sitting in his chair in Don Tommasino's villa in Sicily many years after his daughter Mary's death. Michael didn't die a painful death...it was quite simple in fact. He fell forward slowly and out of his chair flat on his face onto the dirt. His little dog sniffed his body shortly after he died and it was a fitting end for Michael because he died a slow death with nobody. Although Michael was awarded the order of St. Sebastian by the Pope for his charitable work, God knew better and destroyed Michael....slowly into a festering man.
Finally the following are some tables displaying the deaths or murder victims on the left side and the cause or people responsible on the right side. There is a table for each Godfather film. I tried my best to include every murder and put each in chronological order. Enjoy.
