Some scenes included that were not in the theatrical versions of the film include Don Fanucci being attacked by street thugs, Vito Corleone's first encounter with Hyman Roth, Vito killing two of the thugs who worked for Don Ciccio and were instrumental in his family's death, Michael's reunion with his father after his return from Sicily, and Sonny's taking charge of the family after his father is severely wounded.
