What is the name of the horse that has its head chopped off in the movie The Godfather?

The actual decapitation of Khartoum, Jack woltz's prized horse, is not shown in the movie.It can be assumed that Tom Hagen - Don Vito Corleone's adoptive son, who was sent to convince Jack woltz to cast Johnny Fontane in his desired movie role - was complicit in the act. He would either have ordered it done, or he would have carried out the job himself (presumably with some help, as beheading a horse can't have been particularly easy).Woltz agrees to cast Fontane as a result. It seems he was made an offer he couldn't refuse.Answer:It's possible that the person who beheaded the horse was Luca Brasi, who was "the big guy" at Connie's wedding who kept rehearsing what he would say to the Godfather, Vito and was greatly honored, being only a bodyguard. [Perhaps he used a garotte, which was the instrument used for his own murder.]He was also the accomplice that held the gun to the head of a band leader [thought to be a Tommy Dorsey character] when the Godfather gave him "an offer he couldn't refuse" to free Fontaine from his contract.

What was the name of the character in The Godfather that Marlon Brando was?

Marlon Brando played Vito Corleone in "The Godfather" and "The Godfather II." In the movies he is often addressed as "Don Corleone." Don is a title of respect, rather than a name, (it is roughly the Italian equivalent of "Sir") that is often used to address the head of a "family" in the Italian Mafia.


Was Al Pacino the studio's first choice to play Michael Corleone in The Godfather?

Far from it! Although director Francis Ford Coppola was in favor of Pacino in the role from the beginning, the producers at Paramount Studios had a number of other more famous stars they would have preferred to cast in the part. Robert Evans, the head of production at Paramount, suggested Warren Beatty, Burt Reynolds, Ryan O'Neal, Alain Delon and even Robert Redford as potential Michael Corleones. Coppola had his heart set on Pacino, and threatened to quit if the part went to someone else. James Caan had also auditioned for the role. When Pacino got the part, the studio insisted that at least one of the sons should be played by a better-known actor, and the role of Sonny Corleone went to Caan.Others who auditioned for the role of Michael included Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro, Martin Sheen and Dustin Hoffman. De Niro went on to play a young Vito Corleone in The Godfather II.
