UPDATE - EXTENDED VERSIONS
The Godfather Part II Extended (currently rendering)
Since many of the changes made to the extended versions are derived from the Magnum Opus, I have elected to make the full update on this thread where all the details and evolution of the changes is documented. The below exclude many micro changes.
ADDITIONAL CHANGES over and above added scenes are noted as follows retained or removed from Michael's Opus and the first 75 mins of Don Vito's Opus, as noted below.

- Original giant caption from Part II opening is reinstated.
- Additional Subtitles added to untransalted porition of store scene with Vito and Genco
- Completely re-done Young Vito walkaway shot has been retained.

- Fixed bad music transition while Fredo tells his wife that his brother is head of the Family
- Kays waiting taxi
- Resequenced casino scene retained in its new position

The two revised
"The Godfather Extended" and
"The Godfather Part II Extended" edits will be submitted this week after QC checks.
Remaining updates for the Extended versions will be on the THREAD BELOW (see youthere folks).
I'm going to put this question to The Academy, since I am also looking to re-make a number of edits where the editors have long gone, but the works exist in SD only....RED DRAGON, The Manhaunter Cut and Superman: The Deja-Vu Edit to name a few, and it would be good to have a position on this...
