Behind-the-scenes highlights of godfather 2

Marlon Brando was supposed to be the main guest actor in the flashback at the end of this movie, but he even refused to shoot for a day because of the way Paramount treated him in the first episode of The Godfather. Coppola originally planned to shoot Mike and his 18-year-old son Anthony in the last scene, but the shooting time was too late and the light was too dim that day, so this scene was not filmed. Vittorio storaro turned down the invitation to be the photographer of the film because he thought it was impossible for the film to surpass the first episode of The Godfather. De Niro's lines are basically Sicilian, Italy. Lee Strasberg was ill during filming, so the script was revised and Hyman's role was changed to a frail old man. Hyman Ross is based on the real Jewish mob boss Meyer Lansky, who is the godfather of the Jewish mob. After the film was released, he called strassburger, "Why don't you make me more compassionate? After all, I am a grandfather now. " James Kan asked him to play Sonny Kleene in the flashback at the end of the movie, and he should get the same salary as the first movie. As a result, he got what he wanted.
