Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Director Francis Ford Coppola has been quite vocal about the fact that calling this film 'The Godfather Part III' was not his decision. What did Coppola and co-screenwriter Mario Puzo want to call the film?

Answer: 'The Death of Michael Corleone'

Coppola was vetoed by Paramount executives, so 'The Godfather Part III' became the title.
2. What year is it when the movie opens?

Answer: 1979

After a few shots of the abandoned Corleone 'compound' in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, the scene changes, and we see a title card that reads 'New York City, 1979.'
3. We're told that Vincent Mancini (Andy Garcia) is the illegitimate child of Santino 'Sonny' Corleone (James Caan, from the first two 'Godfather' films). What is Vincent's mother's first name?

Answer: Lucy

Lucy Mancini (Jeannie Linero) sneaked upstairs for some private time with Sonny during his sister's wedding in 'The Godfather.' Lucy appears briefly in 'The Godfather Part III' as well -- she accompanies Vincent to the party at the beginning of the film.
4. Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) is shown receiving a presitigious community service award from the Catholic church. Complete its title: The Order of St. __________.

Answer: Sebastian

Sebastian, incidentally, is the patron saint of archers, soldiers, and athletes.
5. As Vincent first encounters Mary Corleone (Sofia Coppola) at her father's party, he has no idea who she really is. She makes a reference to her father, which leads Vincent to ask who, exactly, her father is. Finish her reply: 'I'll give you a hint -- _______________.'

Answer: he's Italian

Given the demographics of the crowd around them, that's not a very helpful statement.
6. As spokesperson for the Vito Andolini Corleone Foundation, Mary has the honor of presenting a check for {$100,000,000} to Archbishop Gilday (Donal Donnelly). She explains that the money will be used for art grants, medical research funding, and the general restoration of Sicily. As the crowd applauds, what comment to the Archbishop does she add with a smile?

Answer: 'Don't spend it all in one place.'

Mary gets a decent laugh there, even from the Archbishop himself.
7. Kay Adams (Diane Keaton), Michael's ex-wife, shows up at the party as well. The conversation is not friendly, causing Michael to say, 'You hate me. You must hate me.' Kay corrects him, though: 'I don't hate you, Michael. I _______ you.'

Answer: dread

Much is made of this 'dread' comment later in the film, once Kay arrives in Sicily.
8. Don Altobello (Eli Wallach) is an old, trusted friend of the Corleone family -- so trusted, in fact, that he was made godfather to one of Vito Corleone's children. Which one?

Answer: Connie

It's stated several times that Connie (Talia Shire) is Altobello's goddaughter. Fitting, then -- and slightly twisted -- that it is she who takes an active hand in killing him at the end of the film.
9. Michael and Kay's son Tony (Franc D'Ambrosio) tells his father that he is dropping out of law school despite his father's wishes. What profession is Tony leaving law school to pursue?

Answer: opera singer

Tony finds success pretty quickly, too -- he's starring in an opera in Sicily by the end of the film.
10. Adopted Corleone brother Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall) is not in 'The Godfather Part III,' but his son is. What is the name of Tom's son?

Answer: Andrew

Andrew Hagen (John Savage) is a priest, and Michael secures him a position at the Vatican. According to Coppola's DVD commentary, Tom Hagen was supposed to be in the film, but Robert Duvall's demands could not be met reasonably. He was written out of the film at the last minute and 'replaced' by a new character, B.J. Harrison (George Hamilton).
11. Local hoodlum Joey Zasa (Joe Mantegna) presents Michael with an award as well -- a plaque declaring him 'Italian-American Man of the Year' by an organization named after an Italian inventor. What did this famous Italian supposedly invent, without getting much credit for doing so?

Answer: the telephone

Zasa's organization, The Meucci Association, is named for Antonio Meucci -- a man who, some say, invented the telephone over a year before Alexander Graham Bell filed his patent.
12. Archbishop Gilday asks Michael to bail out the Vatican Bank, which is in serious financial straits. Michael agrees, but only in exchange for controlling interest in Immobiliare, a massive global real estate holding company. How much does Michael give the Vatican in exchange for his spot in Immobiliare?

Answer: $600,000,000

Michael and B.J. originally offer half a billion dollars, but the Archbishop asks for $600 million...and gets it.
13. Francis Ford Coppola was pilloried for casting his novice daughter Sofia as Mary Corleone...but to be fair, she was not the original casting choice. Who was first cast as Mary, but bowed out of the production literally the day before her first scene was to be shot?

Answer: Winona Ryder

Coppola states in the DVD commentary that after Ryder dropped out, Paramount sent Madeleine Stowe to the set as a replacement...but he was (and remains) convinced that his daughter was the best woman for the job. I can't think of too many people on the planet who agree with him.
14. A small part in the film is played by a 'Saturday Night Live' alum from the early days of the series. In what role would you find this person in vintage 'SNL' reruns?

Answer: Father Guido Sarducci

Don Novello plays Dominic Abbandando, one of Michael's men -- he's the one who explains what the Order of St. Sebastian is to the press at the party. I must admit, I was kind of hoping to see him get into his Father Sarducci persona and take on the Vatican for a scene or two. =)
15. Which of these people does NOT appear in 'The Godfather Part III'?

Answer: Martin Scorsese's father

Coppola's father Carmine, the real-life composer and conductor responsible for most of the music in the 'Godfather' films, is seen conducting the orchestra at Michael's party early in the film. Coppola's mother Italia plays a guest at the party, seated next to Don Altobello. Catherine Scorsese -- who appeared in quite a few of her son Martin's films over the years -- plays the affectionate old woman who entreats Vincent to do something about Joey Zasa when Vincent takes Mary to his neighborhood. Charles Scorsese does not appear in the film.
16. A mass assassination attempt is made during a meeting of family heads in the penthouse of a hotel. In what state does this scene take place?

Answer: New Jersey

The meeting-turned-deathtrap, arranged by Don Altobello, takes place in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
17. Vincent is in disguise when he kills Joey Zasa at the street festival. What is he dressed as?

Answer: a mounted policeman

Once Vincent rides onto the scene, Joey doesn't stand a chance.
18. It is revealed in the film that Michael Corleone suffers from a serious disease. What is it?

Answer: diabetes

Michael is shown taking insulin shots, suffering from rapid blood sugar crashes, and having vision problems as a result of diabetes.
19. According to the events of this film, which of the following people does NOT know that Michael ordered the death of his brother Fredo (John Cazale) in 'The Godfather Part II'?

Answer: Connie Corleone

When Kay arrives at the party, she says, 'Tony knows you killed Fredo' -- which means, obviously, that she knows, too, even though it's not stated when or how she found out. Did Michael tell her at some point? Did she deduce it on her own? Did the rumors (mentioned by Mary to Vincent) simply ring true to Kay? At any rate, Connie reveals in conversation with Michael that she still believes that Fredo drowned -- she seems to have no idea that Michael was behind his death.
20. Kay Adams has remarried since divorcing Michael. What is her husband's name?

Answer: Douglas

We see Douglas Michelson (Brett Halsey) at the party in the beginning of the film, but he is unable to make it to Sicily for his stepson's opera debut.
21. Mosca, the Sicilian assassin hired by Don Altobello to kill Michael, has a young assistant -- possibly his son -- who imitates a certain animal on command. What animal is it?

Answer: a donkey

Apparently the kid's famous for his donkey imitation, since Don Altobello asks to see it the moment he encounters him. 'Stupid Human Tricks,' take note.
22. Don Altobello, the traitor, is dealt with rather subtly -- he's poisoned. What does he eat that kills him?

Answer: cannolis

His goddaughter Connie presents him with a box of poisoned cannolis just before the opera begins. He drops dead in his seat at the end of the opera.
23. Near the end of the film, most of the characters see an opera which contains a number of sights and plot elements that are echoed in the 'Godfather' films. Which of the following is NOT one of them?

Answer: A man who murders his own brother

'Cavalleria Rusticana' is, according to Coppola's commentary, something of an inspiration for 'The Godfather Part III.' In it, an illegitimate child declares his love for his first cousin (shades of Vincent and Mary) and bites the ear off of his enemy (just like Vincent and Joey Zasa) in the shadow of a street festival quite similar to the one where Vincent killed Joey. No mention is made of fratricide, apparently.
24. Don Licio Luchessi (Enzo Ributti), the villain in the Roman government, is killed with a rather unusual weapon. What does Calo (Franco Citti) use to kill Luchessi?

Answer: eyeglasses

Calo is searched thoroughly before being shown into Luchessi's office, so he is unable to bring a weapon with him. He is forced to improvise by removing Luchessi's glasses and stabbing him in the throat with the extended edge of the earpiece. Points for creativity, there, Calo.
25. What year is it when Michael Corleone dies in the last shot of the film?

Answer: It's never said

Michael looks a good twenty years older than he did in 1979, but the exact time frame is never stated.
