 | ok I always thought there were three parts of this movie...
 but I seem to have a special release with all the three
 parts just in two tapes...
 
 could somebody tell me the exact moment in which part one
 ends?
 
 is there any moment in part one in which there are
 flashbacks?
 
 I am confused

 2 has flashbacks to the old don's life with deniro playing
 him as a young man... not too sure about pt 3

 | Thats correct. 
 1 ends with Mikey taking over the business after the Don's
 death and moving to Vegas.
 
 2 is Mikey's story with the Don's life in flashback.
 
 3 is all that is with Andy Garcia.

 | FADE FROM BLACK: Int. of Don Corleone's home office -day 
 BONASERA (seated in front of the Don's desk, facing the
 camera)
 
 I believe in America. America has made my fortune. And I
 raised my daughter in the
 
 American fashion. I gave her freedom, but -- I taught her
 never to dishonor her family. She
 
 found a boyfriend; not an Italian. She went to the movies
 with him; she stayed out late. I
 
 didn't protest. Two months ago, he took her for a drive,
 with another boyfriend. They made
 
 her drink whiskey. And then they tried to take advantage of
 her. She resisted. She kept her
 
 honor. So they beat her, like an animal. When I went to the
 hospital, her nose was a'broken.
 
 Her jaw was a'shattered, held together by wire. She couldn't
 even weep because of the pain.
 
 But I wept. Why did I weep? She was the light of my life --
 beautiful girl. Now she will
 
 never be beautiful again.
 
 [Bonasera breaks down. The Don gestures to Sonny to give
 Bonasera a drink]
 
 Sorry...
 
 [Bonasera, taking the drink, sips from the shot glass]
 
 I -- I went to the police, like a good American. These two
 boys were brought to trial. The
 
 judge sentenced them to three years in prison -- suspended
 sentence. Suspended sentence!
 
 They went free that very day! I stood in the courtroom like
 a fool. And those two bastard,
 
 they smiled at me. Then I said to my wife, "for justice, we
 must go to Don Corleone."
 
 VITO CORLEONE (sitting behind his desk, petting a cat)
 
 Why did you go to the police? Why didn't you come to me
 first?
 
 BONASERA
 
 What do you want of me? Tell me anything. But do what I beg
 you to do.
 
 VITO CORLEONE
 
 What is that?
 
 [Bonasera gets up to whisper his request into Don Corleone's
 ear]
 
 That I cannot do.
 
 BONASERA
 
 I'll give you anything you ask.
 
 VITO CORLEONE
 
 We've known each other many years, but this is the first
 time you came to me for counsel,
 
 for help. I can't remember the last time that you invited me
 t

 ------------------------------------------------
 
 \/ End of part 1 \/
 
 MICHAEL
 
 Don't ask me about my business...
 
 KAY
 
 No.
 
 MICHAEL (as he slams his hand on the desk)
 
 Enough!
 
 (then)
 
 Alright. This one time [Michael points his finger] -- this
 one time I'll let you ask me about
 
 my affairs...
 
 KAY (whispering)
 
 Is it true? -- Is it?
 
 MICHAEL (quietly, shaking his head)
 
 No.
 
 KAY (after a sigh of relief and Michael kisses and hugs her)
 
 
 I guess we both need a drink, huh?
 
 [Kay leaves the room to fix Michael a drink. At the same
 time, Rocco, Clemenza,
 
 and Neri enter the office. Clemenza shakes Michael's hand.
 Kay turns her head to watch
 
 them. They embrace Michael, then kiss his hand.]
 
 CLEMENZA (kissing Michael's hand)
 
 Don Corleone...
 
 [Rocco kisses Michael's hand as Neri shuts the door blocking
 Kay's view]
 
 The screen blackens to indicate...

 | if thats the begining of part 1 then I ve seen another film 
 what I saw as part one started with the story of vito since
 he was a boy and his family was killed and he had to leave
 to america, then how vito (de niro) started his business in
 new york... killling that man that wanted him to pay him
 200$ each month... and then he goes back to sicilia to get
 revenge.... and the next thing you see is marlon brandon in
 his daughter´s wedding and there is when that man asks him
 for justice and all that... (so this scene that you say its
 the begining of part 1 is like after an hour and a half in
 the film I just saw...

 | God this IS confusing! 
 "What're the differences between the Godfather video boxed
 sets?
 
 This can get very confusing. Here's the brief of it: The
 Godfather Epic [out of print] is the chronological version
 of Parts I and II released on video. It has more footage
 than the original two films. The Godfather Saga [not
 available for purchase] is the TV version of The Epic, but
 has much more footage. Most of this extra footage ended up
 in The Godfather Trilogy* set [Re-released in 1997], which
 is the chronological version of all three films, available
 on video. The Trilogy set is the one you should get if you
 want the most available footage. It also contains the
 Making-Of tape, The Godfather Family: A Look Inside. The
 Godfather Collection is simply the three original films in a
 box - no added footage, and not in chronological order (but
 remastered/widescreen in 1997). The Godfather Collection
 (Limited Edition) includes The Godfather Legacy* book and a
 card signed by Francis Coppola."

 | hummmm sounds like you've seen Part 1 to me. The flashbacks in Part I & II can be confusing, DeNiro is in both movies. i
 prefer Part II of all III movies, it's just sooooo solid. i
 really need to get the DVD collection, i've seen these
 movies so many times, i never get tired of seeing italian
 movies!!
 
 CLASSIC FILM!

 | 1. DeNiro is only in Part II 2. They're American movies, not Italian.
