Behind the scenes
- The Godfather Returns implies that Johnny Tattaglia had been killed by the Corleone family because there is no mention of him in the novel, which states that Rico Tattaglia had come out of retirement to succeed his brother. It is likely that Johnny Tattaglia would have been the heir to the throne. However, Mario Puzo's original novel states that only Bruno Tattaglia was killed during the Five Families War. It is however possible that Johnny Tattaglia was killed in the aftermath of his father's murder in order to prevent retaliation.
- He is voiced by Chris Robson and he has the same character model as Donnie Marinelli.
