According to Francis Ford Coppola, the original script had a different ending, in which Michael and Kay reconciled together after the opera sequence. It dissolves to a church service sequence, in which a gunman guns down Michael before getting shot, and it ends with Michael lying to Kay for the last time before he dies. Coppola decided against that, and opted for the ending in the film with the gunman element from the original ending retained. The ending which was filmed, was inspired by a real-life incident in which Sound Designer Richard Beggs lost his daughter to that similar circumstance.
