Al Pacino made just $35,000 for starring in the "The Godfather" (1972) (the same as James Caan and Diane Keaton and $1,000 less than Robert Duvall). However, having made runaway hits Scarecrow (1973) and Serpico (1973), Pacino managed to command a $600,000 salary for The Godfather Part II (1974), as well as a 10% cut of the movie's adjusted-gross income.
