Don't think either of these have been mentioned yet:

Sonny's fight scene in Godfather. The punches are off by a mile and the pulled kicks are beyond the pale.

Funny--I just pointed this out to my girlfriend last week when we just happened to catch it whilst flipping around.

Being a woman, she said "Well, what did you expect--it's fake."

Uh, I, well...good point?

And the orange blood is almost definitely to placate censors.

Watch the "making of" thing on the Taxi Driver dvd, for instance. It took a LOT of desaturation, etc to get that final scene (Travis pointing finger-gun at his own head..."Blooh, blooh...") onto the big screen at all.

But as far as Sonny goes, he was missing his brother in law by a full nine inches or so in that scene.
