Goofs

When Don Masino goes to meet Giuliano the camera crew are clearly visible reflected in the open door of the car.

Share this

The film shows Guiliano trying to stop the massacre at Portella della Ginestre (blamed in the film on Terranova, who was one of the few of Giuliano's band who it's definitely known did NOT fire a single shot on that day). In reality Guiliano always accepted full responsibility for the massacre and expressed no sorrow for the victims.
