- When Michael moves his father's bed from the hospital room into the hallway, there is a sign on the wall over Michael's shoulder which lists Robert O. Lowery as the Fire Commissioner. He was Commissioner in the 1970s, not the 1940s (it should have been Patrick Walsh).

When Tom tells Vito that Sonny is dead, Vito refers to him as "Consigliere of mine," and pronounces the word phonetically; that is, he pronounces the g and the l.

During Vito Corleone's funeral, when Michael Corleone stands up to talk to Salvatore 'Sal' Tessio, the face of Carmela 'Mama' Corleone can be briefly seen under his arm, tinted orange-red and chewing gum. After Roger Ebert reported this in his "Movie Answer Man" column in 2001, Francis Ford Coppola and Kim Aubry investigated: they confirmed that Morgana King was not supposed to be in the shot, but had gotten into it by an accidental reflection in the optics, probably off a filter (hence the tint) in the matte box. -

When Peter Clemenza goes for a pee, crew reflected in side window of car in which Rocco Lampone has just shot Paulie Gatto. - When Virgil 'The Turk' Sollozzo takes Michael Corleone to the restaurant for their conference, his car drives onto a bridge, where Michael sees a sign reading "To New Jersey", and he asks, "We're going to Jersey?", just before the car U-turns in mid-span. 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. Marlon Brando's character should have been addressed as Don Vito, not Don Corleone. Same rule would apply to the other 'Dons'... Barzini, Fanucci, etc.
- 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.
- The typefaces shown in the headlines of the various New York City newspapers depicted are almost all incorrect for the newspapers shown.
- From a New York City hospital room Michael ( Al Pacino ) gives the operator a number to reach Sonny in Long Beach (at ~1:03). In about nine seconds he hears Sonny answer. For a station-to-station call from NYC to Long Beach to complete within ten seconds would have been all but impossible in 1945, even with a private line (bypassing the hospital switchboard) and Sonny waiting by the phone. The necessary socket-plugging by operators along with the standard verbal protocols, through at least two busy NYC-area switchboards (station-to-station dialing in New York was still years away) during evening rates, would take the better part of a minute, and likely longer.
- If Capt. McCluskey had broken Michael Corleone's jaw, then Michael should not have been able to talk so soon afterward, when he's discussing the hit on Capt. Mark McCluskey and Virgil 'The Turk' Sollozzo in the restaurant. His jaw would have been wired.
- When Vito Corleone is playing with his grandson in the garden, his grandson is holding a garden duster. These applicators are used to apply dust-based insecticide or fungicide to plants, but the duster has liquid coming out.
- At the beginning, during the wedding, Sonny says to an agent ".. FBI don't respect anything..." so it seems FBI is surveilling the event, but J. Edgar Hoover did not recognized the existence of the Italian Mafia after the Appalachian incident in 1957, so by 1945 FBI would not have been keeping an eye on the wedding.
- McCluskey continues standing and moves a bit in his face after Michael shoots him through the forehead. A brain impalement would stop the 'motor' activity, he should immediately go down.
- When planning to hide the pistol in the restaurant restroom for Michael to shoot Sollozzo and McCluskey, Luca says "they've got one of those old tanks with the chain......". Maybe "old" for the movie audience (but not even all even in 1972) but for the movie characters it would have been modern.
- If Sollozzo had served a prison sentence in Italy and the U.S. then obviously he was not a natural U.S. citizen and should have been immediately deported after completing his prison sentence here..

When Moe Greene is shot in the eye he slowly lowers and turns his head, as if gently resting it on a pillow. A shot through the eye and into the brain would immediately stop all motor function. His head would have dropped immediately. - The punch to Michael's face broke his cheek bone which gave him a permanent black eye (and caused his sinuses to continually run - hence the use of a handkerchief all the time) until he got back to America and had surgery to fix it (Freddie says, "that doctor did a good job.")
- The car Michael and Apollonia drive is a right-hand drive, whereas Italy drives on the right and you would expect vehicles to be left-hand drive. However Italian car manufacturers Alfa-Romeo and Lancia continued to produce cars with right hand drive for sale in Italy until the 1950s.
- The exterior set-up shot for the summit meeting of all families is of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. While this seems like an unlikely place for a "family" meeting, it's an indication of how high their influence reaches.
- When Michael is moving Vito to a different room in the hospital with the help of the nurse, Marlon Brando instinctively moves his hand when it hits the door post. However he is conscious, hence his crying while Michael is holding his hand, just heavily sedated due to the pain inflicted by his gunshot wounds.
- Kay's hair style when she and Mike are having dinner just before he goes to the hospital to see his father is more suitable for later decades. However, it does resemble some hairstyles of Doris Day of the early 1950s.
- To allow Michael to assassinate the Turk and McCloskey, the Corleones have to go through a risky scheme involving hiding a gun in a public bathroom and hoping Michael can find it. Their plan also requires Michael having to flee the country as a murder suspect and runs the risk that he could be convicted and sentenced to prison for life. However, once they know the location of the meeting they could have other hit men come in and carry out the assassination, thus avoiding any risk of Michael not finding the gun and reducing the chance that he gets blamed for the killings. However, Michael volunteered to do it. He wanted to himself.
- Peter Clemenza's house has an A/C hanging out the window. However, window air-conditioners were first marketed in the mid-1930's - and, even though they were expensive, Clemenza would have been able to afford one.
- Rudy Bond is credited as playing Cuneo. However, the actor playing Cuneo when he gets shot in the revolving door is clearly not Rudy Bond. However, it likely was a stunt man.

When Vito Corleone learns that Santino 'Sonny' Corleone is dead, he tells Tom Hagen to call the undertaker Amerigo Bonasera, because "He'll need his services." At this point, Tom Hagen has only told him that Sonny is shot; he has not told him that Sonny's body is bullet-ridden head to toe and may require extensive preparation for an open casket funeral. Regardless of the level of damage, "They shot Sonny on the causeway. He's dead." is sufficient for Vito Corleone to require Bonasera's services as an undertaker. - When Sonny beats up Carlo, James Caan can clearly be seen in profile faking a punch so badly that he misses Gianni Russo by a foot and a half, with his fist passing within eight inches of his own chest.
- Outside the hospital, as Capt. Mark McCluskey prepares to punch Michael Corleone, as the shot changes showing McCluskey (Sterling Hayden) punching Michael, it is clearly not Sterling Hayden throwing the punch as evidenced by the longer, brown hair of the man doing the punching (vs. Hayden's short, grey hair).
- Watch closely during the fight between Sonny and Carlo and you can see Carlo slightly jumping as Sonny throws him over the little fence.
- When Sonny is beating up Carlo, the actor is momentarily changed to a stuntman who doesn't look much like Gianni Russo.
- During the sequences filmed in Sicily, Michael's broken-jaw make-up does not match the make-up used during the sequences filmed in New York. This is because Paramount Pictures would not pay the costs of sending makeup artist Dick Smith to Italy with the rest of the crew.
