What about the TV version? That had more footage as well.

The T.V. version was about the same as the "Epic" VHS Box set. One thing I did not like about the T.V. edit was that they spoke in English a bit more. I used the versions of scenes with Italian for my edit from the Godfather II disc. But, I have all of the footage that has come out, including the T.V. stuff.

All of the video sets that have attempted to present the Trilogy in a chronological order have fallen short.

The best attempt was the "Epic" VHS set, but was only films #1 & 2, and still it was missing cut footage.

Then "THE GODFATHER TRILOGY: 1901-1980" (Boxed Set) came out on Laserdisc. This set was a mess and had only some parts placed in chronological order, but yet had some stuff that was not on the "Epic" set. Unfortunately, this set was missing footage that was included on the "Epic" set.

“The Godfather Collector’s Edition” is the best pan/scan transfer of the lot, but is just the 3 films shown in the theatrical versions. Still, having this set was a must.

The Official DVD Set’s extras section has footage that is not on the laserdiscs or "The Epic".

A great webpage on the Godfather on home video is:

This site's information was invaluable to putting my GF edit together.
