Continuity mistake: When Sonny is gunned down at the toll station the bullet holes in the car roof disappear and reappear. Plus, there are some dents in the roof where the bullet holes appear. (01:52:45)

Continuity mistake: When Michael announces that he is going to kill Sollozzo, his speech suddenly is mumbled. Also the props in his swollen cheek change shape several times in this scene, as well as the way his hair is combed. (01:11:45)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where McCluskey breaks Michael's jaw the two cops who hold Michael by his arms get replaced by two others between shots. (01:06:25)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Clemenza knocks at the door Sonny gets a gun from a drawer and puts it in his belt. When he pushes Clemenza the gun disappears, but it's back a moment later. As the shot where the gun disappears is uncut the gun must have slipped down his pants. (00:46:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Vito Corleone gets shot, he rolls on his back and his coat opens up to show his shirt. Then we see Fredo sitting down on the nearby steps and crying. In the next wide shot, Vito is lying on the side, totally covered by his coat, and Fredo is sitting farther away than where we saw him before. (00:43:40)

Continuity mistake: Before Luca Brasi's hand gets pinned to the counter by Sollozzo's knife, Tattaglia holds it down on the counter with both hands, but then, in a close-up of the stabbing, Brasi's hand is hovering over the counter and Tattaglia's hands are nowhere. (00:41:20)

Continuity mistake: When Tom Hagen and Woltz have dinner the scene starts with a wide shot with a huge log fire in the fireplace behind Woltz. In all later shots the fire is about half as high. (00:29:10)

Continuity mistake: When the Godfather tells Tom that he is going to California that night, his glass switches from his left to his right hand. (00:24:20)

Continuity mistake: When Michael asks Kay if she wants to meet Johnny Fontane the drink in his glass almost disappears between shots, then reappears later. (00:17:55 - 00:18:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the first scene, the undertaker Bonasera asks the Godfather for help. When the Godfather gets up from his desk, the rose in his lapel is either fresh and straight or slightly wilted and bent in alternating shots. Also, later in the wedding scene, this rose keeps recovering from intermittent spells of withering. (00:06:00)

Continuity mistake: When the ambassador offers himself as a mediator between the "silent opposition" and the Americans the whiskey in his glass disappears between shots. (01:24:45)

Continuity mistake: When Harry has his customer buddies over Teddy tells him that he should stick to tailoring. At that point his hand is on the armrest of the sofa, but when the camera angle changes it's at his tie knot. (01:13:15)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: There is a close-up of Harry's hands on the cutting table wrapping the two small film rolls in a piece of cloth. When the camera cuts to a wide shot a meter and a chalk marking appear right there where he was wrapping the rolls. (00:56:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Andy and Harry meet at the open-air bar at the harbor there's a hut with a counter in the distant background behind which we see a waitress serving a customer. The camera cuts close to Harry for a moment, then to Andy, and we see the waitress walking by behind him, while the customer is gone. This happens way too fast. (00:51:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Harry visits the President to fit his new suit the President disappears behind a see-through folding screen to change. When he asks for the new pants and puts them on one can tell from the way he was standing behind the screen that he hasn't taken his old pants off. (00:40:35)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Harry returns from the club he first goes into the children's bedroom. Sarah's blanket is down to her waist, and when the camera angle changes also her legs are uncovered. (00:24:50)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Andy comes to recruit Harry he first orders some suits, and he says that this order could develop into "the full monty" (hinting that the meaning of this phrase has turned into the opposite nowadays). At this point his right arm is stretched across the armrest, but when the camera angle changes his hand is up. (00:10:45)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Harry sees his banker Ramon about his credit line Ramon suggests that he should sell the whole farm. At this moment the camera is on Ramon, and there is a reflection of the standing Harry in the window where we see that he turns away from Ramon. When the camera cuts back to Harry he turns around exactly in the same way we saw in the reflection. (00:02:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: Buck can hardly move around due to his lung condition. After he insults Leticia and she runs out of the house and drives off he makes it out to porch way too fast. Then, in the next shot, he is seen sitting with his oxygen kit on, which he wasn't wearing before. (01:26:30)
