[b]If there is a scene before the meeting with Vito, with what scene does GF1 begins?
This is not before the opening scene in the film, but later on after Sonny is killed and Vito summons Bonasera to meet him at the funeral home. The deleted scene shows Bonasera nervously getting dressed at home, worrying to his wife about what terrible thing The Godfather will want from him and how it will affect his life.
Apple[/b]Novel-Time: In the book the chapter begins with Bonasera getting a call from Tom Hagen tellign him to meet Vito within the hour.
Bonasera tells his wife of th ehorrible dreams he's had of Vito showing up with a dumptruck full of dead bodies for him to bury in the middle of the night. He says if the other Dons knew he was an accomplice to murder they would have him killed as well.
After Bonasera greets Don Vito and tells him he is joyous that Vito is healthy, Tom pulls off the cover on the body and we see Santino's mangled corpse.
Next Chapter tells of Carl/Connie, then Santino's death.
GF1 Sequence in Saga strarts with Bonasera's I Believe in the Mafia/America. (I don't remember which he said)
They did not detract from the 5-star story, but are still noteworthy. Sonny says "Pop had genco, look what I got" I didn't know WHAT a Genco was, i thought it was a building, then i found it Genco was a person, then his character got funny in Gf2, and soon after I saw the hospital scene!
That should have been included because it ties up WHO is Genco, why Tom Hagen is NEW Consigliere, and an important scene with Mike saying he will never grow up live his father's life.
Also they could have at least MENTIONED what they did to avenge Bonasera's daughter. (Paulie Gatto and two Soldiers beat the two boys with brass knuckles.)
Perhaps a deleted Scene or two would have made GF3 better.
The USA TV GF3 intro is an adde dbonus to the story! Someone said Altobello returns to the Meeting and is there during the helicopter attack on the Making of GF3 on DVD, but it was cut since FFC said it made Altobello look like he was REALLY on Mike's side rather than atraitor.
Oh well, just be glad we didn't have 15 minutes of Vaginal surgery talk.
