Maybe I missed it in GF3 but i dont ever remember hearing anything about their kid. Was he still alive? Did he ever find out Michael killed his father? If anyone knows anything about him, please let me kno cuz im curious.

I don't remember hearing about them either, I don't think they were mentioned

He changed his name to Donnie Brasco.

He,like many other characters, dropped off the face of the earth by the time GF3 rolled around.Then bits and pieces from all thier smashed bodies were put together to create all those absurd new characters.

In GF II when Connie comes with Merle to ask Michael for money, Michael bawls her out, "Your son was just picked up for shoplifting!!"

Now since GFII takes place in 1958 and the Five Families massacre supposedly took place in 1950 or 1952, Michael Francis Rizzo would have been at the oldest like 8 years old at the time, so it seems to be a stretch he would already be in "trouble with the law."

We also don't know for sure if Connie and Carlo had any other - older kids - when Carlo is begging for his life to Michael, he says, "I swear on the kids," but we never see any other kids belonging to them.

My own opinion, Michael Francis Rizzo Corleone (Connie would change his last name to get rid of any reminder of Carlo, who to her would be nothing but a bad memory) would grow up to be a "bad kid," getting little guidance from his mother, probably being taken under the wing of his godfather Michael during his childhood years, and probably getting involved in crime in his late teens or early 20s, and probably getting sent off to jail in about 1970 for 5-10 years or so (... which would explain why we see nothing of him in GF III, and why he might get involved in the 'family business' in the 1980s after getting out of jail...)

I disagree DSC. I think that Joey Zaza was one of the best characters in the trilogy. Maybe he was a bit over the top, but I thought he was original. While Vincent Mancini might have been a very predictable character, I didnt by no means think he was absurd. I liked Don Artobello too.

Carlo en Connie got 2 kids. You van see that on the family-tree on the bonus materials disc in the Godfather Trilogy DVD-set

one question that has been bothering me for years is how we know the names of the children that are never named in the film or book? The only kids we know are Sonnys son Frank and one of the twins Francesca, Toms son Andrew, Connie's sons Michael Francis and Victor. how do we know about Sonny other kids Santino and the other twin and Toms son Frank when they are never mentioned?

^^^^^^^

All named in the bonus cd in the dvd collection.

Sort of related to the last couple of comments, do we ever find out that it's Carmella Corleone in the films?

yeah but they were named before the DVD came along, so the question remains, who thought up these extra names? I think shes named carmella in the book
