Just to be a pain in the @$$, it was not a knife, it was an icepick. And I hardly see Luca being "held", while strangled. Seems a bit off to me

There have been many discussions here on these boards on this subject, plus Geoff's website with a timeline backs up these dates.

Anthony Coppola becomes Francesco Nippi in the movie, it was deleted of course. Luca is NOT effective AT ALL in the movie, he looks like a BIG wuss who got choked out, he didn't shit the floor in the movie. Sonny didn't plan to kill 5 families or Barzini. In the movie, he says (Deleted, of course) Philip Tattaglia, Bruno Tattaglia, Joe Tattaglia, Solozzo. He wants them all dead. He got his way with Bruno. Cuneo and were supposed to die in he elevator in the script. As for Take the gun, leave the canoli, that wasn't even in the script let alone the book, that was pure Richard Castellano right there. Tom and Sandra don't hook up in the movie. Solozzo isn't big and scary in the movie. Tom thinks "He has BALLS!" In the book Genco had two daughters, and no son. But Dominic Abbandando from GF3 is his son? Was Mrs. abbandando pregnant when he died? I think not! So according to Puzo there's NO Vincent and NO Mary. hmm, Francis..Ford...ucci. I wonder where that came from?

garbone is mentioned in the movie on Sonny's hit list, i found it interesting that the same guy who played genco Abbandando, Frank Sivero, played Franki Carbone in Goodfellas. What a coincidence? Differetn Dons in the book, Panza, Forlenza, Tramonti, Molinari, and Falcone. No Hyman Roth  Paulie went spiked knuckles on two kids balls! neither FFC or Puzo gave a damn about Bruno. One sentence summed up his death. "We hit Bruno tattaglia at 4 Am" That's ALL! Poor bruno.

in the book, Kay made contant inquires about Michael which eventually reunited her with him after his exile to Sicily. in the flick, he returns for her.
in the novel, Vito Corleone states to Signora Colomba's landlord that he is not too fond of animals, yet in the movie, we see him quite fond of his cat (could be a Brando preference)
in the book, Michael had two sons. in the flick, he has a son and a daughter.
in the book, none of the Don's grandchildren have names, as opposed to the movie.
