So, obviously The Godfather Part III didn’t quite turn out as well as its predecessors, but it almost had a completely different story due to a financial dispute between Al Pacino and Francis Ford Coppola. Pacino wanted $7 million to come back, and Coppola was pissed off at that amount of money. He was so pissed that he threatened to rewrite the entire story to start with the funeral of Michael Corleone, effectively removing Pacino from the project.

Pacino settled on being paid $5 million instead.
