Something else I just remembered is that many tv airings of Godfather 3 have a different opening which is a montage of scenes from GF1 and 2 to recap the story, but shown as flashbacks as Michael sits and ponders it all at the Lake Tahoe estate (the same shot we see of him at the end of the theatrical GF2). However it looks like they used extra unused GF2 footage of him from that scene for this alternate opening between the flashback moments.

Yup...i remember that as well. I think that was when they showed all 3 of them...as a trilogy...on some station. The extended G2 has something similar i believe...plus footage that was eventually used in 3 I believe...plus quiet moments of the Corleone estate early in the morning before the party.
