In that world, yes he has to kill Fabrizio. He might not have even needed permission considering Frabrizio killed Michael's wife. It affects the whole outcome of the saga. If Apollonia returns to America with Michael and they have a family, she never leaves him...she's Sicilian...she would be just like Mama Corleone. It changes a lot of his motivation
Nah, him killing the police chief stopped MC respecting the law and killing his old persona. I don’t know why Fabrizio thought he could get away with it, surely he must have known he was on borrowed time?
I can see it. Though this man was a loyal soldier (and was easily recruited) , he may not have had the smarts to move up the power chain. Since he had not been to America, his foresight into what was actually available for trade for such a task was limited. Maybe he had always wanted a pizzeria, and cooking was a favorite hobby of his. But, in the end, he was rewarded for a botched job. The killing of Michael's wife did flush him out of hiding. 🤔 Just my 2 cents.
Fabrizio's end is one scene that should've never been cut. I hope they will release an unedited full length version of this movie. Fabrizio paid his price. Everybody does.
I would have to double check but I believe it is in the Uncut chronological edited version. It takes the part with Robert De Niro first(Young Vito. Then brings it up to Marlon Brando, then shows Michael as the Godfather after the death of Don Vito . I use to always put that on when I lived up north and there was snow storm that shut everything down. Followed by Godfather 3. So it would be a day of the rise and near fall of the Corleone Crime Family. I have lost count on how many times I have seen this movie and various remasters and extended versions.
@@NostalgicGamerRickOShay It's all relative. If you're old (like me), and can remember the days before cable TV, The Godfather Saga's resolution, ain't that bad.
The Fabrizio pizza parlor scene should have never been cut from the film! I've always wondered why Michael never hunted him down once he rose to power, as I definitely would have.
This is definitely a deleted scene that I wish had stayed in the film. But I understand why it was deleted since it was more about unfinished business from part 1 instead of the story they were telling in part 2. Still, I think it is perfectly believable that Michael would have never forgotten about Fabrizio. It's certainly within Michael's character to hold grudge like that.
Honestly, I think the jealousy, specially towards Apollonia, is a stretch. The book and movie lean way heavier in him just jumping on the opportunity in order to achieve his goal of moving to America. I don't think the jealousy is a fact or even needed for Fabrizio to betray Michael
Michael is more strategic than vengeful psycho. He recognized immediately the gravity of the situation ASA Sonny said- "no more Solzzo tricks". U don't get to be a USMC Captain, in WW2 for nothing.
I believe it's plausible that Vito wouldve forgiven Fredo for his betrayal in Cuba and not held his weak-willed, unsure, lack of strategic thinking as symptoms or negative defects his son had. I don't think Vito Corleone kills his son realizing his inherent, character defects and weaknesses that Michael so ruthlessly despised, loathed and later on conspired to shoot him on Lake Tahoe in the middle of a lake before evening. Vito clearly saw Fredo was weak-willed and vacous long before those traits led him to betray Michael, so if Sonny hadn't been so hot-headed and allowed himself to be lured into a trap, more then likely Fredo never assumes the large amount of power and responsibility he has in Part II. I do think Sonny wouldve ended up being a more effective, efficient long-term enforcer and partner for Michael to cool off and smooth out some of his rash, impulsive, violent streaks. Whether Sonny or Michael wouldve feuded eventually later on like his son would with Micheal, its possible but what Michael had going into Part II wasnt a strong, reliable, firm older brother, but a weaker, less-reliable, vacillitating brother who probably shouldn't have ever been allowed in the family business.
Michael came back from the Pacific with a Silver Star and a Purple Heart. Later, during his organized crime hearings testimony, he testified that he had been awarded the Navy Cross (either his Silver Star was upgraded or the script continuity folks should have had one more cup of joe or napped another 15 minutes). What’s not in dispute is that, having served in the USMC during WWII, he would have participated in several brutal battles. The inference is, he joined up after Pearl Harbor and was gone until the end of the war so he might have been in most (or all?) of them. My point is that he had probably seen, and inflicted, as much or more close-up death as Luca Brasi…and was much more “tactical” about it. Sorry for the rant. Movie backstory speculation is a “thing” with me anyway, and IMO “The Godfather” has so many layers!
Joining the Marines after Pearl Harbor was Michael's way of showing just how much he did not want to be like his family. He served in the Pacific, shown valor, and you knew he saw his share of death and destruction in its harshest form. So his experience as a Pacific theater Marine veteran of World War 2 ironically prepared him to be even more like his family and be formidable than Sonny or Vito could ever imagine.
Didn't Fabrizio run away with Jack to America on the Titanic? But the ship sunk and Fabrizio got wacked by the funnel... Oh I see how it all fits together!
He had to. Michael was obsessed with the idea of “strength” and “weakness” which he claimed he got from his own father. You keep those you love safe, by being strong. Michael says this specifically on at least one occasion i can remember; when he asks his mother about his father being “strong” to protect the family, and whether his father ever worried about losing his family by being too concerned about appearing strong and the behavior that entailed. Michael’s mother clearly finds the question absurd and reveals her entirely different values than the Americanized women he knows (like his wife Kay) and the younger generation (like his sister Connie). “How can you lose your family; they are always your family?” Mama Corleone asks Michael in reply to his question. Michael is clearly unsatisfied and troubled by this answer, for he knows his family is slipping away from him no matter what he seems to do, so the best he can do is be a man like his father and risk the angry or alienated consequences of those he loves and feels responsible for, even if they grow to despise him for it; at least they’ll still be alive to despise or fear him. So he proceeds and, ironically, in trying to emulate Vito, he seems instead to have brought his own obsessions to his conduct, and seems to have missed how flexible, loving, and conciliatory Vito was and instead only saw the violence and firm resolve once his mind was made up. Therein lies Michael’s tragedy. He’s blind to half of his own father’s nature (for example … Vito didn’t want Michael to be involved on the family business, and trusted the world to be a safe place for Michael and even encouraged him to go straight and make the family proud with his legitimate and legal accomplishments. Michael’s own obsession with control and there being only one approach to strength lead to Michael’s own eventual tragic downfall, having lost everything he most wanted to protect, and as a result of his own actions, rather than by any “weakness” he so feared allowing to be seen. Michael’s obsession with needing to be strong to keep his loved ones and family safe was clearly triggered by his failure to see the danger around him and consequently failing to protect his own new wife Apollonia. For Michael this failure couldn’t be allowed to be unaddressed. Fabrizzio would have to be killed, because Michael believes that failing to do so upon his own promotion to “Don”/ “Boss”/“Godfather” would be seen as a sign of weakness, and invite further attacks upon himself and his family and loved ones. Even after all this time, Michael cannot leave this transgression upon him and his family members unanswered. It wouldn’t be “strong” to allow Fabrizio to live after what he had done. Michael knows too that the bomb was meant for him, and for this he feels guilt and shame, for he feels it was HIS fault that Apollonia died, as much as it was Fabrizzio’s. And this triggers his sense of masculinity and personal honor, for as his father Vito told him, women and children can be careless and thoughtless, men cannot afford to be so. And Michael feels it was as much his own carelessness that allowed Fabrizzio to make the attempt on his life that resulted in Apollonia’s death. For these reasons, Michael knows in the world he has just been promoted into … the head of his crime family … he must eliminate Fabrizio in order not to appear weak, which would invite more attempts on his own life which would inevitably result in harm to his wife or children or other close family members. It’s Michael’s obsession with what he perceived to be his own father Vito’s quality of “strength”, and his understanding of what “strength” is, that sealed Fabrizio’s fate the moment Michael becomes Godfather.
@@B_Estes_Undegöetz Michael also killed Fabrizio to get even with him for killing Apollonia. An eye for an eye. Connie forgave Michael for killing her wretched husband, as she said he was just being strong for us, like Papa was.
Won't type it all again, but I agree. Made a comment just now that you should be able to see without too much scrolling. Basically saying enough is enough with this shit. Only so much one can cover in the span of 9hrs worth of film. He's quite literally just making shit up at this point. It's ridiculous. These used to be so good, but in his apparent desperation for content he's just being absurd
Youre correct but it's more than that. Fabrizio doesn't know Michaels intentions because this is all happening so fast He thinks Americans live in immediate gratification paradise and Mike is just looking for a cheap in the door. Not realizing you dont do that in Sicily But not jealous. In that part atleast
We knew most of this. However it was new and amazing to see the alternate death scenario that Michael blasted Fabrizio himself. Cool picture. Thanks for digging that one up.
He was killed in the book and in a deleted scene from part 2. However since the deleted scene never really made it to canon, then the average viewer can assume he got away never to be found.
You did well for 90% of this. Fabrizio is clearly a man of lust and status Carlo is a simple man of simple needs and speaking As others mentioned Fabrizio didn't want to overstate the wedding proposal. For many reasons because hes not sure if Michael is being serious or just trying to get some tail, not realizing how Sicily works He was jealous but sharp. Michael like Fredo is totally different than the book. Fredo is the handsome charming one Michael is more brains and athlete but also tall and good looking Santino is Santino. Jimmy Caan was the one perfect casting based on the books
5:44 is key. Michael understands he is not shaken by the daunting task he has in front of him. That pause and look at the lighter, is a masterclass in direction.
Poor Buffalo. They lose 4 Super Bowls, and that's where they killed Fabrizio. They should do a spoof of Portnoy at Fabrizio's pizzeria, with its explosive flavor.
There is an alternate scene where Michael gos to Fabrizio's pizza shop in Buffalo and blows him away with a shotgun... it didn't make it into the final cut
Wasn’t there a scene where it was said that Michael’s wife and bodyguard (Carlos) were killed in Italy? After all Carlos was at the trunk of the car with their suitcases when it exploded.
Because he's his father's son. Also, Barzini underestimated the younger Corleone. The says it took years for Michael to put his assassination plan against Barzini and Tattaglia (In the book he didn't kill the other heads of the family and Moe Greene was killed much earlier) - and even then, he did so with the help of his father before his father passed away.
“Tom , you surprise me- if history has taught us anything ….it’s that you can kill anyone” . Michael at his most coldest and chilling . The face of death is imprinted on him throughout Godfather 2. Epic.
Of all places in the world, why the hell would Fabrizio move to New York, after he FAILED his hit on Michael; and why would Barzini reward him? Obviously he was a dead man if he did that. I can see why this scene was deleted, since it makes NEGATIVE SENSE.
5:17 Michael Corleone was one of the few most powerful men in the whole world. Seeing him enter a crappy Buffalo Pizzaria with a shot gun would have been brilliant and quite frankly bizarre. Fabrizo needed that personal touch to send him to his grave.
I was fortunate enough to attend a sneak preview of Godfather II at the Coronet theater in S.F. in the spring of 1975. I vaguely remember his demise by someone cutting his throat on a boat, but it’s been a long time. The scene was never part of the screen version.
Michael had to take him out. No two ways about it. When President Obama's advisors told him they'd located Bin Laden, did he just wave them off and say let it go? Of course not.
Oh man, I gotta' watch that movie again. Loved it. Seen it about 3 times now, maybe 4... It is one of the Best. Except, not Part 3, whichever the last part was .
Not true. He was shot in the chest and his executioner said, “Fabrizio, Michael Corleone sends his regards” before shooting him in the head. That was it
The motivation for Michael's revenge is not a psychopathic need, he saw his father protect his family and eliminated any threat, survival was the reason in the mafia world (Vito Andolini was a boy when his father and mother were killed by Mafia in Corleone). The day he was punched by the crooked cop, Michael got sense knocked into him, his service to his country meant nothing, his belief in the law and good citizenship all were shattered and he swore to protect his shot up father in the hospital, he just could not be treated like a nobody, he would rain down Vengeance on all who hurt him and his family- he even killed his brother in law Carlo (for getting Sonny killed), his brother Freddo as they were weak and dangerous for his family. His world made him a cold avenger, as no weakness would be excused, he was the one that was chosen by fate to get them to next generation. Never forget this was a criminal world and killing was an option they could not forego!
I saw two things that were omitted from the first cut. Fabrizio escapes to the USA. Fabrizio was found running a pizza parlor. A scene shows the bomb completely obliterating the place probably with Fabrizio inside. A second scene was where Hagan enters Woltz's home, he looks up and sees the young girl from the movie set on the balcony. She turns and runs out of sight. Hmm.
they should have shown this part in the film....not showing this part, left a gap in the story.... it was as if Michael had let him get away with killing his wife!
I see why the wives are required to be above reproach . The men have their world. The wives have their own..The women can only watch the movie 😂 and figure out its best to ask nothing
They made enemies of Michael by their actions. If they had not done so he would not have struck back. Barzini put in all in motion as did Hyman Roth. Just as Sollozzo did shooting Vito. By making themselves enemies of Michael the heads of the other families had to go. Strike at the King don't miss. The lesson is leave Michael alone!
Reward: a pizza shop in Buffalo. Ouch. Would have appreciated a pizza parlour in Canada, just across the border. Safer, lots of Italian and French speaking!!

Nah, him killing the police chief stopped MC respecting the law and killing his old persona. I don’t know why Fabrizio thought he could get away with it, surely he must have known he was on borrowed time?
Michael killing Sollozzo and McKlusky may have started him on that path, but it was the killing of his brother and Apollonia that set him on it.
And on that day the real Godfather was born, ruthless and calculating and completely merciless.
To lose that beauty, and be left with Kay.
" You threw me under the bus for a pizzeria??? What happened to your dreams of becoming a capo? A frigging pizzeria ! Seriously??? "

Michael had to take him out. No two ways about it. When President Obama's advisors told him they'd located Bin Laden, did he just wave them off and say let it go? Of course not.
Eliminated in Godfather 3?
Oh man, I gotta' watch that movie again. Loved it. Seen it about 3 times now, maybe 4... It is one of the Best. Except, not Part 3, whichever the last part was .
They should put all two of the movies together in chronological order with all deleted scenes.
Yes, all TWO
In the film he had a pizza joint here in America and his car blew up with him inside. In the book I think he was shot to death inside his restaurant.
Fabrizio slapped with the dishes.
It was bazini all along lol..also apollonia was 🔥 🔥
2:30 I always thought he was checking Don Tom's ankles for a hidden pistol?
Nah, man, we deserved to see Michael get his revenge face to face.
Godfather 1 : Michael Corleone the civilian
Godfather 2 : Michael Corleone the Don
Godfather 3 : Al Pacino
Theres a deleted scene that shows what happened to him
Ask the German accountant, he knows everything.
Fabrizio was played by actor Angelo Infanti who also starred in the steve Mcqueen movie Le mans driving ferrari N0 5 who gets a puncture on last lap
In the original book. Fabrizio in hog tied , placed in oven after closing (a live) .
Not true. He was shot in the chest and his executioner said, “Fabrizio, Michael Corleone sends his regards” before shooting him in the head. That was it
" Michael said hello "
The motivation for Michael's revenge is not a psychopathic need, he saw his father protect his family and eliminated any threat, survival was the reason in the mafia world (Vito Andolini was a boy when his father and mother were killed by Mafia in Corleone). The day he was punched by the crooked cop, Michael got sense knocked into him, his service to his country meant nothing, his belief in the law and good citizenship all were shattered and he swore to protect his shot up father in the hospital, he just could not be treated like a nobody, he would rain down Vengeance on all who hurt him and his family- he even killed his brother in law Carlo (for getting Sonny killed), his brother Freddo as they were weak and dangerous for his family. His world made him a cold avenger, as no weakness would be excused, he was the one that was chosen by fate to get them to next generation. Never forget this was a criminal world and killing was an option they could not forego!
Traitors cannot be forgiven, as written in the book!
I saw two things that were omitted from the first cut. Fabrizio escapes to the USA. Fabrizio was found running a pizza parlor. A scene shows the bomb completely obliterating the place probably with Fabrizio inside. A second scene was where Hagan enters Woltz's home, he looks up and sees the young girl from the movie set on the balcony. She turns and runs out of sight. Hmm.
The treatment of the young girl is even worse in the book.
@@tomshea8382 Need to read the book. Hope it had pictures. lol
So that shotgun scene of michael is real. I thought it was a contemporary edit..
Just think how different things would have turned out if Sonny just had a EZ Pass
MICHAEL like his father , always had a well thought out plan, with maximum impact
I do not think there is anything wrong with not having to look over your shoulder for the rest of your life.
It's never luck it's always God
Now We're have seen the answers We've Been Looking for
they should have shown this part in the film....not showing this part, left a gap in the story.... it was as if Michael had let him get away with killing his wife!
He had to take out Fabrizio. He would have looked weak if he didn't.
for a person who has carried out a vendetta yes
“Fell victim to this”?
Did you mean “is prime example of” or something like that?
"Almost psychopathic?" Only Carmela Corleone has a lack of those traits.
Sociopathic
Fabrizio got whacked leaving his pizza joint
Corleone family settles all accounts...
Video starts at 4:12
Fabrizio put pineapple on his Pizza. It wasn't a mop related hit
Always wondered what happened to Fabrizio
Of course Michael would whack him if he found him, especially knowing he was working for
I wish they would have left the scene in the movie.
Fabrizio would be revenge, and deservedly so. The rest of Michael's hits were strategic and necessary.
"It's a smart move".
If I were to be Michael I would have done exctly the same.
"If someone slaps you on one cheek, offer him the other
cheek" is strictly for M.K. Gandhi.
I think he came to The USA and developed a very successful air freshening spray.
I see why the wives are required to be above reproach .
The men have their world.
The wives have their own..The women can only watch the movie 😂 and figure out its best to ask nothing
They made enemies of Michael by their actions.
If they had not done so he would not have struck back.
Barzini put in all in motion as did Hyman Roth.
Just as Sollozzo did shooting Vito.
By making themselves enemies of Michael the heads of the other families had to go.
Strike at the King don't miss.
The lesson is leave Michael alone!
If you read the book he was blown away in Buffalo, next to his pizza oven!
I wonder what was this guy's plan. To blow up Michael and then live happily ever after?! I'd rather play the Squid Game, than cross the Corleones!
What's the point of this,It didn't showed on movie Part 2 1974.Cut scene it's not important.
Fabrizio went away. That's what happened.
i thought fabrizio died on the Titanic?
Pondering about fictional stories is a sad and complete waste of time. Time is the one thing you can never more of. Yes I'm guilty too
he worked at a pizza store owned by Enzo The Baker
Corleone family always paid what they owed
Yes. M would have killed F because F was not a made man. And M would not need council approval.
Fabrizio sleeps with the fishes
Reward: a pizza shop in Buffalo. Ouch. Would have appreciated a pizza parlour in Canada, just across the border. Safer, lots of Italian and French speaking!!
