I had my horses on Walter Scott’s cattle ranch some years ago. Walter Scott was a bigshot stunt coordinator and Caan’s brother in law. Bobby Duvall, Caan, and other A list actors came here to rope cattle all the time. Caan was a jerk. Duvall was a great guy.
haha I actually don't hate the 3rd one, it's just a microcosm in comparison to the first two masterpieces. You add Duvall in it and replace Sofia Coppola and you get a pretty solid flick that still doesn't hold a candle to the first two but isn't as hated on. Sofia Coppola has not place in front of a camera, just behind it.
Second was all about money too, but Coppola put all of his energy in it and it went really well. Same with third but different case clearly. He's a wild card ;)
Duvall should say that...he bowed out of the 3rd for money issues... And as I recall reading in an article, Duvall's character actually had a big part in the 3rd sequel. Without his character, the story was not as solid as it could have been, IMO.
Duvall declined to be in Godfather 3 because Pacino had a much bigger paycheck than him. So when he said "well better than the third one", it was savage...
Raul Luevano Do you really go to the Today show for hard news? Look, the second someone uttered "Kardashian" on a news program, that's where all credibility stopped. But nevermind that...this is UA-cam, you personally chose to click on this, it didn't wander into your news programming.
Jeremiah Jere Exactly. It goes all the way back to American Buffalo which Pacino revived on Broadway to great acclaim and which overshadowed Duvall's original production (which was also greatly acclaimed but less notable relative to Pacino's higher profile take on it). I have seen Robert Duvall randomly bring up Scarecrow in an interview and talk about how Hackman "blew Pacino off the screen" without even being asked anything about it. He also is someone who loves the tango in real life and has dissed Pacino's tango scene in Scent Of A Woman and his Cuban accent in Scarface when he played a Cuban in some movie. I know they are also friends, and Pacino always talks about how he wishes Duvall had been on board for GF III, so I don't necessarily think it's just that it's between them. As far as I know, those guys don't hate each other or anything (I don't think) but Robert Duvall periodically sticks it to Al and essentially stuck a knife in Coppola's back by not doing that film, demanding Pacino level money (!?!) (and Coppola is the greedy one?) for a move that is called The Godfather not The Consigliere and whored himself out to be Tom Cruise's pit crew chief on Days of Thunder instead for Godsakes... and people still stick up for him. It boggles my mind. Very fine actor and an incredible jerk............
4:40 Just look at those faces. BORN for acting. Also...Robert De Niro is one of the few who could ask Al Pacino what the name of that 'De Palma' movie was. :'D
the third part was the fall of the corleone family so it doesnt deliver like previous 2 parts. Also I think as Robert Duvall was not in the third part, he made that comment.

Al Roker only gets better with age. I'm amazed at his energy, enthusiasm, professionalism. He's the perfect example of how older people need to be included because they add so much fine quality to anything they do. This was a great interview of all these wonderful people/actors. I just subscribed!
When I saw Al Pacino after so many time after I am like OMG! Really so many years have passed my beautiful one of the fav actor has turned old but yet holds a precious place in our hearts. He may be old but he speaks with a lot of energy!
@@jackgrieveson7978 do you know how stupid that sounds “Jamie is a Separate name from James even though it’s literally in the name, whereas Jimmy despite it sounding like a completely different name is the proper nickname for James” disregarding the fact Jamie started out as a nickname for James (and should have been the only one) why is Jimmy a nickname for James? As far as I see people have a disturbing sexual pleasure for it
It is difficult to choose between the first and the second. I personally feel 2nd was carried on great and could have been better than the first had Brando not been there in first one. Brando is what makes me think the first one is equally good if not better than the second.
Brando, Pacino, Duvall... that is MAJOR talent right there. And, I know Brando wasn't in this interview, I'm just naming the 3 from the movie who were top tier!!
Of all the movies I own , Godfather 1&2 are my most watched movies, couldn't count how many hundred of times I've watched it!! Thank you to all those wonderful actors and F.F.C for this brilliant movie 😚
Bummed that Robert Duvall didn't get to say more -- he's probably the best actor of all of them. But I liked the way he said, "Better than the third one." ha ha.
Christopher Thorkon Duvall probably would've just bitched and moaned about how terrible GF3 was and how right he was for not being in it when in fact, the ONLY reason Duvall dropped out AFTER HE HAD ALREADY AGREED TO BE IN IT, was because he found out they weren't going to pay him what they were paying Pacino.
The movie is called The Godfather, not The Consigliere, therefore the film revolved around Pacino's character. His movie. Duvall has been jealous of Pacino for years.
xncmnhj, I think Talia Shire is a great actress! She was awesome as ADRIAN in Rocky and I have loved her work ever since. I also think it's cool that Nicolas Cage is her nephew.
Majo Paskuvan He would have been one of the greats. He blew me away with his acting. Deer Hunter my all time favourite movie he's brilliant, was dying of cancer as it was being made. He was awesome.
Never knew about De Niro and Scarface! Can't imagine anyone other than Pacino in the role of Tony Montana. Makes sense though, as De Niro said, over their careers they were up for the same roles.
No one is speaking about James Caan, one of the most underrated actors of all time! #RIPSonny
olly natkin that's what makes him underrated
Yeahhh
Loved him in Misery and Elf
He was also good in the thief
Olympia Scott only know him from elf
RIP James Caan 🪦💔. No one can replace Sonny Corleon none other than James Caan.
True, rest in peace james caan

How I wish Marlon Brando were alive and well to do this interview
And John Cazale
he would NOT have done it.
Brando hated interviews
He would be like 94 years or so.
he got an offer he couldn't refuse !
I have always loved Robert Duvall in every movie he's been in. What a talented and underrated actor!
I love the smell of Napalm in the morning 😁!
Smells like “VICTORY”
I admire Duvall as well in all roles he acted , always love Robert duval
Duvall is not at all underated.
He's Not underrated...
My ideal man ♥️
The Godfather trilogy:
Marlon Brando
Al Pacino
Robert De Niro
And Andy Garcia! 😀
Vincent Corleone!
I loved how him and a nineteen year old Sofia Coppola played young lovers in 3.

"Better then the 3rd one" Duvall is the man

"Both are better than the third one"
The face of Pacino when Duvall said that is great
Because they wouldn't pay Duvall the money he wanted to be in it.
Duvall said what's true
Duvall is honest as such many of his great characters in movies...
Respect
Pacino aint dumb, he knows is truth, and he only made it for the money.
And James Caan laugh after words just priceless 😂
RIP James Caan (March 26, 1940 - July 6, 2022), aged 82
You will be remembered as a legend.
Badabing badabing !
The fact that Robert De Niro almost got the role as Sonny is crazy. Imagine Al Pacino and Robert as brothers and sons to Marlon Brando
but james is perfect for sonny
And that Carlo nearly went to Stallone
RIP John Cazelle, he is surely missed.
I love how they put oranges on the table
Yes, of course. I hope somebody doesn't get wacked!
James Boyles go watch the god fafher movies again and see what comes with oranges or the color orange 😄
Apparently the oranges thing was a coincidence, but rather they used it because the colour had a nice contrast, or something like that lol.
The Fire Is Still Rising 22
maybe it means Trumps gonna get wacked
4:40 DeNiro: What was the that thing with DePalma?
Pacino: Uhhh Scarface
😂😍😂
That "Yeap" sayed by Pacino was really cute. I hope that I can work with these guys some day.
Alan WashStuff i hope it for you
Alan WashStuff I hope it happens soon for you

Pacino: and what was that thing you said about yourself?
De Niro: You talking to me?
Gotta love Pacino..77 and rocking a headband!
I think yer lookin' at a wig, man!
Dont forget Robert Duvall is close to 90
well that's not what i would call rocking since it made him look unprepared and untidy

Seeing pacino and deniro chillin together makes me happy. Love these 2 legends
4:40 Just look at those faces. BORN for acting.
Also...Robert De Niro is one of the few who could ask Al Pacino what the name of that 'De Palma' movie was. :'D
Two Legends..
I’m so happy they casted Pacino for Michael because he played him so well. Everyone in those movies was amazing
Love how Bob Duval is just sitting there like "I'm just happy to *be* here" 😂
He's just vibing
De Niro: “What’s that movie you did?”
Pacino: “Scarface”
Lol, i love this.
Would have been much better if Pacino said to Bob:
"What is that movie you did with Marty?"
"Raging Bull."
5 greatest actors of all time, good to see 45 years later they're still alive and kickin
The only person missing is Kay. “It was an abortion, Michael!” She was great in both movies.
4:09 Robert Duvall taking a dig at Pacino😂
the third part was the fall of the corleone family so it doesnt deliver like previous 2 parts. Also I think as Robert Duvall was not in the third part, he made that comment.
What would have been hilarious is if Pacino was quick enough to respond, "You're out Tom."
@@ricklarose7002 lol
u@@msuhail5943 Yes, he was supposedly assassinated in his car or something? Big mistake leaving Tom Hayden out of the movie.
It would've been so much better with _Robert Duvall_ in the movie, and they put "George Hamilton" in with a stupid name BJ Harrison?
They should've of had Tom Hayden in the movie as well! Only BJ gets bumped off and they call back Tom, from wherever he was...good ol' Tom Hayden " 🤗🤎
Al Pacino is to classy. I thought that dig from Robert Duvall wasn’t necessary.
Al is wearing that headband thing he had on during the dishwasher scene in Scarface.
Christopher G. 😂😂😂😂😂
Christopher G. Being a mob boss didn't really work out for him so he went back to dishes.
He forgot to look after his investments.
Kai Gardhouse i think he is undercover so sosa doesnt recognize him
Christopher G. these hands should be picking up gold
it's so sad to see them get so old :(
Don Vito Corleone you forgot one..look in the mirror , it's happening to us all.
Its better to burn out than to fade away!
It s ok, they look great, they are still alive, they are in my favorite movies
We all have to get old ..
yes :(
Coppola owned the 70s. Godfather, Part I and II, The Conversation, Apocalypse Now. They're four of the greatest movies ever.
He also produced American Graffitti
Al Roker only gets better with age. I'm amazed at his energy, enthusiasm, professionalism. He's the perfect example of how older people need to be included because they add so much fine quality to anything they do. This was a great interview of all these wonderful people/actors. I just subscribed!
Rest In Peace James Caan. Sonny was my all time favorite character!
Waste of an interview with such great talent, but horribly stupid questions.
Well, it's Matt Lauer. His mind was probably on who he was going to sexually assault next.
shields817 agreed
My thougths exactly.
Agree
Exactly. It also shows a total disregard for the other actors present. Lauer seems only interested in the fluff. Completely ignoring Caan and Duvall.
When I saw Al Pacino after so many time after I am like OMG! Really so many years have passed my beautiful one of the fav actor has turned old but yet holds a precious place in our hearts. He may be old but he speaks with a lot of energy!
All of them are changed a lot , but Thalia Shire is still Connie
Shes still Adrian
"Yo Adrian, I did it!"✊✊
She is Adrian
Rip
Amazing to see all of these legends together so many years later RIP James Caan
Such great moments, you can see who is humble and who is ignored! Sad to see these Legends expiring but always remembered.
I love watching the reactions of the cast here! Especially Robert De Niro, his face is priceless, his expressions show what he used in all his movies.
Stewart Nicol as BILLY CONNOLLY Shut up jock.
Would have been nice to hear Jimmy Caan or Bob Duvall say something.

in 10 or 20 years we will watch this back with both happiness and sadness that we had such great actors right there
that`s why we need to enjoy the present moment.
Way to ignore Caan & Duvall.
Right, because they were ignored by the interviewer.
Jew, and Mick. They wanted to hear from Italian
They're not real Sicilians. And Duvall isn't a wartime Consigliere
Matt Lauer was never a good interviewer.

Part II is the greatest film of all time for me.
Chuckson56 The first for me

Facts!!!!
I see 1 and 2 as one film, and try to forget the third exists
I love this movie so much that I don't fully recognize it as a dramatization. In my mind its a bio of a real family; tragedy & triumph
"What's the thing with De Palma?"
"SCARFACE!"
Come on Bobby..... lol
Talia Shire was a great, underrated talent ... especially in the sequel
I miss Marlon Brando here.
Me too💎❤️🏆
Brando, Pacino, Duvall... that is MAJOR talent right there. And, I know Brando wasn't in this interview, I'm just naming the 3 from the movie who were top tier!!
IDK why sometimes I feel Al Pacino and Robert Downey Jr , look alike a bit.
Omg thanks! I thought I am the only one who thought so!
The goatee and the dark hair...
Al Pacino with goatee looks like Robert Downey Jr.
Al Pacino without goatee looks like Sylvester Stallone.
Carlito Brigante gave major Tony stark vibes
I think it’s the goatee and the intense eyes.
I became a permanent fan of Robert Duval due to acting in Godfather
Yes Robert Duvall And James Caan
Are Legends as Well !!!
The reunion of legends. God i love them all!
Okay i will be watching the Godfather again tomorrow!
