Trilogi The Godfather berakhir pada tahun 1990 dengan rilisnya The Godfather Part III (sering ditulis sebagai The Godfather: Part III ). Meskipun film ketiga ini mendapat beragam reaksi (terutama terkait penokohan Mary Corleone yang diperankan Sofia Coppola), film tersebut secara naratif menutup kisah Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) yang menua dan berusaha melepaskan diri dari dosa masa lalunya.
Indonesia has one of the most passionate, ravenous film cultures in the world. From the ruko (shop-house) DVD stalls of Glodok in Jakarta to the sprawling bajakan (pirate) websites of the post-2000s, access has always outpaced legality. The holy trinity— The Godfather , Part II , and Part III —are sacred texts. But the hunger for closure is so intense that for years, a curious file circulated across Indonesian peer-to-peer networks:
While there is no official The Godfather Part IV , the story of the Corleone family continues to live on through fan theories, literary sequels, and director Francis Ford Coppola's original ideas for a fourth installment.
