Sonny bangs a bridesmaid at his sister’s wedding (although that’s really described better in the novel.)

A lot of gangsters get shot, several times in the face.
The family receives a package with Luca Brazzi’s bulletproof vest and a fish, meaning that Luca “sleeps with the fishes.”
Michael gets punched by a police captain so hard he spits out teeth.
Michael shoots the police captain.
Michael sees his Italian wife naked for the first time.
Sonny gets whacked at the toll booth. No explosion, but lots and lots of bullets.
Clemenza strangles Carlo.
Tessio’s I-gave-it-a-shot reaction when his plot to betray Michael unravels.
Michael gets revenge on all the family’s enemies in one afternoon, with just about every gangster-killing technique ever used in the movies.
That’s just the original! There’s lots more stuff in Part II.
