They've added these fake forehead grooves to Pacino's forehead that make it look like his brow is permanently jutting upwards in a state of surprise or something

Yeah, Godfather III is pretty bad, feels like a made for TV movie, BUT at least the very last scene is extremely funny.

Have they ever explained what the rationale was for Pacino's spiky hair in this one? Who decided it would be best for Michael Corleone to appear as though he'd just stuck his finger into an electrical socket?

Well now that you mention THAT it just makes me wish we'd have a scene where Pacino performs "White Wedding" at his daughter and Andy Garcia's unholy marriage reception

In the last scene mentioned earlier Pacino drives off in a camaro blasting the Buzzcocks and singing along, then gets shot from a passing car by a hitman dressed up like Adam Ant.

Pacino at this church or whatever is reminding me of The Exorcist, which just so happens to be another acclaimed 70s film that got a belated third installment in 1990.

Pacino surprises Diane Keaton in the car but there's no stinger and Keaton doesn't scream. What kind of movie is this?

Iirc it was timelines or something. It, and money, is also why they had casting issues, so no Robert Duvall or legit actress playing Michaels daughter.

There was a 4th in the works before Puzo died, so we were also spared an even bigger abomination by Father Time.

Duvall correctly sussed the whole project as a cash grab, and refused to consider it unless he got a comparable paycheck to Pacino's. But Winona Ryder wasn't a money thing, she bailed at the last second because of exhaustion or something like that, so Coppola quick stuck his daughter in.

Protip: when someone says they want to relay a very important message from Michael Corleone and he must whisper it in your ear, by all means take him up on it, you don't want to miss any opportunities.

I'll grant the idea of setting it up to look like Michael Corleone is going to get assassinated only to actually serve him with an even crueller and pathetic fate is a pretty drat good one and I can already tell the entire movie is essentially just a vehicle to present that.
