There are at least four versions available in the US. They are: 1) the theatrical releases pf the individual movies on VHS; "The Godfather Saga," a three-VHS collection that's GF and GFII spliced together in chronological order, with about 20 of the 45 minutes of deleted scenes included where they belong; 3) "The Godfather Saga" for TV, shown frequently on TV, that includes the chronological GF and II and all the deleted scenes in logical sequence; and 4) the DVD set, which has the three theatrical release versions of the films and an extras disc that contains all the deleted scenes and lots of other stuff (family trees, biographies, commentaries, "making-of", etc). In my opinion, the most enjoyable version to watch is #3, but a real GF Trilogy fan must have the DVD set for all the extra stuff it contains on that extra disc--not just the deleted scenes.
I emphasized US versions because you might have different choices in Canada. Some of our overseas paisani on these boards have written about versions that we haven't seen in America.
U say all the deleted scenes? even the scene where michael kills Fabrizo?
