This one is about as coincidental as coincidences get, but it's interesting to note that - during a scene in The Godfather - both of Robert De Niro's Oscar-winning roles are foreshadowed in one key moment.

If you know a bit about the movies, you'll also know that De Niro won an Oscar for playing a younger version of Marlon Brando's Don Vito Corleone in The Godfather Part II, and another for playing boxer Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull. It was a great time for the actor, who has made far too many movies with Ben Stiller since.

So check out this scene in the originalGodfather movie, where Vito Corleone (played by Brando here) can be seen standing adjacent to a poster advertising an upcoming fight for who else but Jake LaMotta?
