Yeah,..this is just the same role as in Mean Streets,as was said here.I loved him in that!! It's actually one of my favorite films.He was such a cutie!!
You can't compare them like that..its art not a sport! Both Versions(Cann and De Niro) are good...they're just different. Cann seems more of a powerful, tough,tempermental character while De Niro's version seems.....wild, creepy and crazy!
De Niro would have terrific as Sonny....but Caan was perfect....this movie has many strengths.....the script, the cinematography, and ( of course ) the directing...but its greatest strength is its cast of actors....It is the best cast movie in Hollywood history....
It's not that I'm saying Bobby couldn't act that better for Sonny's role but really, I think James Caan Had to be the Sonny. James Caan IS Sonny and Bobby De Niro IS Vito. I hope you get the picture because all the actors that were included in the Godfather movie were ALL "GODS" and they are the best actors and actresses ever. No one of 'em are weak.
Fascinating. It would have been a different movie w/ DeNiro. Sonny would have been smoother, sweeter. Caan as Sonny was harder as he said these lines. I can see the picture working w/ DeNiro, but Sonny's outbursts would have been more shocking; it would have changed so much about Michael's story.
This proves that Martin Scorsese was more ballsy in his films than Coppola. Scorsese's films like "Goodfellas" and "Raging Bull" had Den Niro and Joe Pesci use that raw and vicious acting style that is displayed here. Not to compare the two legendary directors in a negative light, as they ARE my favorite two filmmakers ever. But as similar as they were in the 70's and 80's, their differences were also more than apparent.
@blkmambafan11 There is no role he can't play, he's fucking legend. And I'm not saying James Caan did better than him, I'm just saying I can imagine Caan as Sonny better than I can imagine De Niro as Sonny, especially when with Michael (Al Pacino).
@TheSouthernPsycho Noooooooo Robert De Niro can't Play Sonny, The goal for Coppola was supposed to be the Most American Looking son, when it was supposed to be Michael.
@lordvoldemort578 agreed cahn was better for sonny ...that feisty temper without laid back bronx accent..sonny just went better for cahn....deniro could have played it of course ...but ultimately james caan was teh better choice
@henhao1972 James Caan Just had that ability to go from Happiness, to laughter, to sudden confusion then anger in one scene it was amazing. De Niro could probably pull it off. But Caan was made for this role. Go Back and watch the whole Godfather, and Pictue De Niro as Sonny, You just can't do it. the all american, Muscular, masculine, looking 1940's guy, and that was CAAN.
@lordvoldemort578 Good point, and actually in some part in the book, Sonny was described as a brutal man, which I think Caan could picture perfectly. DeNito can portrait someone wild, but even then there seems to be a certain coolness in that wildness, which maybe wouldn´t had been as effective as Caan did. Awesome to see this, anyway.
@TheSRalston You hit it on the Nail James Caan is Sonny. They Said Sonny was Loving and Kind, but can go to anger and confusion in The drop of a hat. James Caan Played it perfectly. De Niro has portrayed angry guys in the past.Listen to this from the book: and then in the fraction of a second before anything actually happened, Santino Corleone knew he was a dead man. And in that moment his mind was lucid, drained of all violence, as if the hidden fear finally real and present had purified him.
De Niro is the subtle, silent, only speak when he has to kinda guy.. Sonny was the crazy. dont think twice kinda guy... Vito was a better role for him although this try out was pretty good
Just think if De Niro got the part how Sonny's death would have played out. Would have been strange. Caan was the right choice. De Niro a legend of his own.
@JoshRA I can't see that. The character is nothing like Johnny Boy. The only comparable thing between the two characters would of been the guy playing them. But anyways, James Caan was perfect for Sonny.
damn, If Robert De Niro and Al Pacino were brothers in the film; and Marlon Brando was their father, I'd think their grandfather HAD to be Jesus Christ, just saying lol...
They should have done Part III like they did part II Show Vincents reign as Don Corleone and have him every now and then ask Lucy What Sonny was like and she tells him and the scene goes to flashbacks of the 1930's with Sonny in the Olive Oil war and how he commits his first murder and how he becomes the Underboss of the

@CoolerKing37 I have read he claims that is true more than once. But his father the Manhattan Artist and homosexual's last name actually was Deniro. I knew his mother who was also an artist by the name of Virginia Admiral and she had a strong Italian accent & looked quite Italian.
You can't believe any of the things this greasy rat bastard claims he is. He is full of shit from the get go! He's a mob owned puppet & was deeply involved with the deceased homosexual film director Stanley Kubrick
@CoolerKing37 Well since you feel that way about hearing the answers to your dumb questions then I hope you don't mind terribly if I refer to you as the CooloMadiconKing! Piss off back to the homo wanker websites!!
@CoolerKing37 My life is never boring because I was born with a pair of brass balls sonny boy. I won't thank DeNiro for anything until he drops dead so when he's buried I'll have a nice grave to piss on. Now go back to your cartoons and leave me alone Colo King.
@Therealtaxidriver Get a life? Says the guy who's basically complaining that his identity was stolen by Robert DeNiro. Sorry, but your life wasn't THAT remarkable...
does this remind anyone else of Johnny Boy? I think they did the right thing getting him to play Vito in the second movie. De Niro excels at the calm but strong paternal type roles
Did anybody else besides me think that DeNiro in that audition bore an uncanny resemblence to Rocky Balboa? I think that's what got Caan the part. lol imagine a Rocky-esque gangster telling Al Pacino how to knock somebody off. And I know Rocky didn't come out for another 4 years but still lol. And I love DeNiro so don't blast me for saying this lol
@jstock100 God I hope they never re make the Godfather. Why would you ever do that? Why doesn't Hollywood create new movies instead of rehashing old ones?

Not bad, but Caan totally kicked ass. He deserved that part. Besides, when we need someone to play the young Vito, who better than De Niro? No pun intended.
In the movie, Michael says, "Besides, when I need a consigliere, who better than my father?". I'm not sure if those were the exact words, but it was something like that.
@osamabad I don't knwo what it is but i don't think de niro has the look that sonny should. he doesn't have that he'll do anything to hurt you in any ways. he has more of the tactical, not so hungry eyed look. Cann had that
@osamabad There is no pun, either accidental or intended. Do you know what a pun is? You accidentally paraphrased the dialogue. That isn't a pun. CUNT.
No, dumbass. A pun is when you say something that makes a subtle reference to what you're describing. In this case, my comment about De Niro has a similarity to a line in the movie being discussed. Moron!
@osamabad Here is a definition for you, because I think you must be retarded to continue embarrassing yourself on this public forum: 'the humorous use of a word or phrase so as to emphasize or suggest its different meanings or applications; a play on words' Your poor paraphrasing of dialogue does not qualify.
Duh! Different meanings? Exactly! The first meaning is how it describes De Niro as the best choice to play young Vito. The second meaning is it's similarity to a line in the movie. That's what a pun is. It has one direct meaning and one indirect meaning. Funny, I bet you just looked up that definition now, because your second response to me clearly shows that you agree that it WAS a pun.
@osamabad a pun is making a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word.
For example
"There was a sign on the lawn at a drug re-hab center that said 'Keep off the Grass'." Grass could mean Weed or Grass (thats the pun)
or
Did you hear about the guy whose whole left side was cut off? He's all right now. All right could mean hes all good now or he just has a right side now, thats the pun :)
@onebaud Would he not have looked just a tiny bit out of place with all his family being white Italians? Not to mention that Denzel Washington is about 10 years younger than DeNiro, he would have been far too young
@Oallright That's right 'cause he couldn't have played young Vito Corleone in part 2. Which, by the way is the only time an academy award has been given to two different actors playing the same character (but I bet you know this).
Deniro would have made a fantastic sonny corleone...but in this alternate universe, james caan may have been michael and the godfather may not have been as classic, scarface is never made because pacino is givin handjobs for cash instead of acting, and young vito corleone is later played by, uhh, someone else who gives less than an oscar winning performance. Coppola made the right call.
I don't know. To me, James Caan IS Santino. Especially after reading the book where Sonny's physical appearance seems like it would be more like James Caan than Robert DeNiro.
Doesn't sem right for Sonny, but then maybe that's because I'm so used to Caan's performance. He brought this same character to Johnny Boy in Mean Streets.
It wouldn't work De Niro was mean't to play the young Vito(although I liked Marlon Brando's performance better De Niro did really well as Vito. Both of them deserved their Oscars).
@ChuckNorrisKratosLOL Di Caprio up there with De Niro and Pacino? He's way too clean cut and had a silver spoon in his mouth since he was a child. No way.
@Dragsteryourself who gives a fuck about grammer, eh? oh your a troll, i forgot. and messin with my friend the best u can do? fuck u. try messin with me u cunt!
@glglous me neither.....i grew up in 90s so i always had an image of him being old and fat....but when i saw godfather.....0_0 he looked like a true gangster
Man the actors of today suck and have no talent. The lack of talent is right in league with the amount of sequels, remakes, and reboots Hollywood keep putting out every year. I mean stack a Robert De Niro up with Matt Damon. No challenge. Stack a Al Pacino up against James Franco. Again no challenge.

@osamabad a pun is making a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word.
For example
"There was a sign on the lawn at a drug re-hab center that said 'Keep off the Grass'." Grass could mean Weed or Grass (thats the pun)
or
Did you hear about the guy whose whole left side was cut off? He's all right now. All right could mean hes all good now or he just has a right side now, thats the pun :)

Denzel Washington should have gotten the part of Sonny in the Godfather! You racial prejudiced pigs always pick the white guy.

@onebaud Would he not have looked just a tiny bit out of place with all his family being white Italians? Not to mention that Denzel Washington is about 10 years younger than DeNiro, he would have been far too young

@Oallright That's right 'cause he couldn't have played young Vito Corleone in part 2. Which, by the way is the only time an academy award has been given to two different actors playing the same character (but I bet you know this).

JackEl3elm 10 months ago
Deniro would have made a fantastic sonny corleone...but in this alternate universe, james caan may have been michael and the godfather may not have been as classic, scarface is never made because pacino is givin handjobs for cash instead of acting, and young vito corleone is later played by, uhh, someone else who gives less than an oscar winning performance. Coppola made the right call.

I don't know. To me, James Caan IS Santino. Especially after reading the book where Sonny's physical appearance seems like it would be more like James Caan than Robert DeNiro.
ridgerunner721601 10 months ago
Doesn't sem right for Sonny, but then maybe that's because I'm so used to Caan's performance. He brought this same character to Johnny Boy in Mean Streets.

Man the actors of today suck and have no talent. The lack of talent is right in league with the amount of sequels, remakes, and reboots Hollywood keep putting out every year. I mean stack a Robert De Niro up with Matt Damon. No challenge. Stack a Al Pacino up against James Franco. Again no challenge.

Can you imagine? Deniro is Sonny, Caan is Michael, Pacino is Fredo, Marlon is Tatagglia, and Sir Richard Harris is Vito.

Hard to watch such a bad actor shit all over a great preformer's role. This is just another reason why Desnoro is one of the most over rated actors ever.
That closet gay is terrible.
