Why does michael corleone have a black eye

As neither Vito nor his associates have ever been convicted of a crime, surely they could get the newspapers to go along with their olive oil cover story. When Michael Corleone is leaving the safe-house in Sicily by car to meet Apollonia, the driver clips the gate on the way out causing the hanging decoration to fall off.

As Michael is walking out of the restaurant, after killing Sollozzo and McCluskey, you can see where he bumps into the camera by the momentary jerk of the picture just as he passes. When Don Corleone is talking to the pastry shop owner during the wedding scene, the man is holding a small shot glass. As he is getting up to grab Don Corleone's hands, the glass is still in his hand but in the next shot it is gone.

Fredo removes his sunglasses twice during Michael's meeting with Moe Green. Then, the scene cuts to the entrance of the wedding cake outside. Sonny can be seen with the white flower in his lapel standing by the cake. Then, the scene goes back to the office where Sonny is still present with the Godfather. The waiter fills Tom Hagen's glass twice within seconds during his dinner with Woltz.

Enzo the baker visits Don Corleone in the hospital after he is critically wounded. Enzo is holding a large bouquet of pink carnations and baby's breath. Later, when he is standing outside the hospital with Michael, the bouquet has been changed to a much smaller one with orange carnations.

In the wedding scene, immediately after Kay Adams meets Tom Hagen, the cigarette in her hand disappears and then re-appears. The blood on the bed in the "horse head" scene.

First it's there, then it disappears. While Michael is talking to Apollonia's father after he has given her the necklace. The same two people pass by twice - once in a close-up of Apollonia and the other in a wider shot. When Sonny talks to Paulie in the meeting room and tells him to get some brandy for his cold, his right hand is between his legs. In the next shot, Sonny's right hand is on top of the couch. When Michael is telling Kay about Luca Brasi, she has a cigarette in her left hand which disappears and re-appears between shots.

A few seconds later, the cigarette is gone and Kay has a fork in her left hand which then jumps to her right hand. While Michael is telling Kay the story of Luca Brasi, the gun and the contract, Michael is leaning back in his chair, but we cut to Kay on the other side of the table and Michael is leaning forward. After Vito Corleone's brush with death, Fredo sits next to the front of the car on the pavement and next to Vito's head. But following that, when pedestrians walk towards Vito, Fredo is gone, then he is back in the same place in the next shot.

As Luca Brasi is sitting outside Don Corleone's office talking to himself, practicing his little tribute, he is clearly wearing a rectangular-faced watch with 'solid' strap on his left wrist. A few moments later as he gives his thanks to Don Corleone, the watch has become round-faced with chain link strap. When the dons meet, one of them sits back twice: once before and once after an edit.

After his brush with death, Don Corleone lays on his back with his right arm folded on his chest. Thereafter he appears turned to his left side, with his right arm stretched-out on his right side. When Salvatore 'Sal' Tessio brings the package of dead fish to the meeting in Vito Corleone's study, the paper is disarranged and a little open.

But when Sonny Corleone takes it, it is tidy. Mark McCluskey, we see that there is a long distance between the two men on the back seat and Michael on the front seat. However, in the next shot, with Michael in close-up, the two others appear just behind him. When Michael meets Moe Green in Vegas to buy him out, he gets out a pack of cigarettes, then we cut to another angle and he does it again.

After leaving the 'peace conference' the interior camera in their car shows Don Corleone and Tom Hagan discuss various aspects of the meeting, While this discussion is going on, the headlights of a tailing car is observed the whole time, right up close to their own car. However, the scene cuts immediately to a roadside camera, showing the Don's car speed off into the distance, but the tailing car is nowhere to be seen.

In the closing scene when Michael Corleone allows Kay Adams to "ask about his business", the knot in his neck-tie goes from crooked to straight during the course of the scene, but we never see him straighten it.

Before Vito is shot, he looks down the street and sees the two assassins turn a corner. They turn left to face towards him, indicating they were on the same side of the street as Vito. When they start running towards him, however, they step to the left to get on to the street.

That would mean they had to be on the opposite side of the street. In the first scene of the film, Bonasera approaches Don Corleone to whisper to him. He keeps his left arm by his side. In the next shot he takes his left hand from Don Corleone's chair back. When Luca Brasi is killed in the bar scene, the knife is clearly thrust thru his left hand. However in the subsequent shot showing him sinking down as he is being strangled the knife appears thru his right hand.

Michael's jacket is open a few inches near his tie as McCluskey pulls back his arm to hit Michael. After the cut, his jacket is closed and straight when he gets punched. As Sonny Corleone receives the fish, the pillow on his lap changes positions in between shots. The gun that Sonny Corleone gets from the drawer in the dining room when Peter Clemenza comes to the house following the attempt on the Don's life, is in his belt, disappears when he throws Clemenza against the counters and re-appears as he turns around after talking to his wife.

When Michael reads the paper about his father's brush with death, he crumples it and then starts to run across the street. The paper is crumpled in his hand as a car passes in front of him on the street.

After the car passes, Michael throws the paper down. When he does this, the paper is very smooth and neatly folded. Walking down a hill immediately following the wedding ceremony in Sicily, Fabrizio loosens his tie, the camera cuts away, then back, to show him loosening his already loosened tie. After Fredo yells at Michael for trying to negotiate with Moe Greene, we see a shot of Michael smoking.

As Michael exhales, we see a cloud of smoke quickly disappear from his mouth as the camera splices to another take of the shot. The level of wine in Vito Corleone's glass when he is discussing Barzini's move to kill Michael. The coffee-cup that Virgil 'The Turk' Sollozzo drinks from in the scene where Tom Hagen is held hostage is seen again at the hospital when Michael Corleone visits his father. When Michael looks into one of the staff rooms, the coffee cup is there next to the half-eaten sandwich.

When Tom Hagen is talking to Jack Woltz about putting Johnny Fontane into is new film, when they are standing by the door, then the right side of Jack Woltz and the left side of Tom Hagen are in light, but in a close up the same sides are completely in shadow.

Level of wine in the glasses while Michael and Kay are having dinner following the attempted assassination of Vito Corleone. When Michael returns to New York from meeting Moe Green in Vegas, two black sedans pull into the Corleone compound, with Michael and Kay apparently in the second sedan.

The cut to the interior of the vehicle shows Michael, Kay and their son in the back seat of a two-door vehicle, not a four door.

When Tom Hagen is having dinner at film producer Jack Woltz's home, the butler fills Tom Hagen's half-empty wine glass. In the next shot, Hagen's glass is one-third filled and the butler is filling it again. When Tom Hagen is seen walking down the Woltz Studios backlot street, he is carrying a suitcase or large duffel bag in his left hand.

However, as he turns into the sound stage to meet Mr. Woltz, he is suddenly carrying a standard briefcase in his right hand, and the suitcase is gone. When the package of dead fish is placed in Sonny's lap, the position of his hands changes in close-up. When Don Corleone is shot 5 times and he falls down, there is no blood on his coat. The next camera shot shows bullet holes and blood on his coat.

When Tom addresses Woltz studio, he is carrying the suitcase in his left hand. But indoors he appears with the suitcase in his right hand. After Sonny Corleone tells 'Mama' Corleone that 'Pop' is hurt; he tears off a piece of bread, opens it, and grabs some peppers and onions.

While Sonny eats in his father's den, he calls Salvatore 'Sal' Tessio for back-up and opens his father's safe. The sandwich is seen finished as Sonny dials and it re-appears while he says "Come on, Luca". The placement of Moe Green's drink during his meeting with Michael Corleone. Kay's hands when she asks Michael when she will see him again. A glass of wine in the wedding scene.

Mark McCluskey, Michael Corleone walks into the camera. When Carlo kicks the bathroom door trying to beat Connie, the camera is visible for a few frames through the mirror on the door. In fact, the only bridge between Manhattan where they picked Michael up and New Jersey is the George Washington Bridge, and the bridge on which the car is shown is definitely not the GWB.

It may be the Williamsburg or 59th Street bridge. The use of the title 'Don' is incorrect as the proper use of this term of respect is always attached to the individual's first name, not surname. Same rule would apply to the other 'Dons' Barzini, Fanucci, etc. The typefaces shown in the headlines of the various New York City newspapers depicted are almost all incorrect for the newspapers shown. When seen in uniform at the wedding, Michael's shirt collars are missing his captain's bars.

Marine Corps officers wear their rank insignia on their shirt collar points as well as on the epaulets of their coats. Location: Boston, MA. Possible answer: Coppola shot in Sicily with a skeleton crew and Paramount wouldn't spring to send makeup artist Dick Smith along.

Instead, Pacino's makeup was handled by a local Italian technician, who didn't follow Smith's instructions or use the foam rubber application for Pacino's jaw Smith sent along for the shoot.

The cop broke his cheekbone which left a black eye even after the welling went down, and was aldo why he was constantly carrying a handkerchief to wipe his eye.

He had surgery to repair all this after returning to the states Fredo mentions what a good job the doctors did. Can someone who read the book say if this is correct?

Location: US. Ghostworld , Nov 26, GodShifter likes this. Location: NY. Big Jimbo , Nov 26, Senator Geary thought they would talk alone, but Michael says asking them Tom being one of them to leave would be an insult. Nicolas Cage has tied the knot again. Why does Michael Corleone have a black eye? Where did they film The Godfather 2? Why did Hyman Roth want Michael dead? Why did Michael kill Fredo? What did Fredo do to Michael? Who really tried to kill Michael Corleone?

Why did Frank kill himself in Godfather 2? Did Fredo know he was going to die? Who killed Fredo in the boat? Did Pentangeli betray Michael?
