* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The role of Mario Trantino was originally given to Creator/AlPacino, who was frustrated over Creator/{{Paramount}}'s dithering over whether to cast him as Michael in ''Film/TheGodfather''. Paramount and Creator/{{MGM}}, the studio behind ''The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight'', agreed to release Pacino from his contact for ''Gang'' in exchange for Creator/RobertDeNiro, who had been cast as treacherous driver Paulie in ''Godfather''. This allowed De Niro to appear in his StarMakingRole as young Vito in the second ''Godfather'' film.
