James Caan was wired up to a huge number of explosive blood packs, or squibs, for the scene where his character, Sonny, is gunned down...

...The 147 squibs were a Hollywood record at the time, and Caan only endured the pain out of face-saving bravado

Brando was only 47 when he was cast as Vito Corleone, and had to have considerable ageing makeup, including a specially made dental plate to produce Don Vito's trademark puffy cheeks. (He'd stuffed his mouth with orange peel for the audition)

Gifts were handed out at the end of production for The Godfather I. Brando was given some drums having hammered the skins since he was a boy. He has said on several occasions that if he hadn't been an actor he would have been a drummer
