CLIP DESCRIPTION:
During the Italian fiesta, Vito (Robert De Niro) murders Don Fanucci (Gastone Moschin) in his doorway.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Francis Ford Coppola's legendary continuation and sequel to his landmark 1972 film, The Godfather, parallels the young Vito Corleone's rise with his son Michael's spiritual fall, deepening The Godfather's depiction of the dark side of the American dream. In the early 1900s, the child Vito flees his Sicilian village for America after the local Mafia kills his family. Vito (Robert De Niro) struggles to make a living, legally or illegally, for his wife and growing brood in Little Italy, killing the local Black Hand Fanucci (Gastone Moschin) after he demands his customary cut of the tyro's business. With Fanucci gone, Vito's communal stature grows, but it is his family (past and present) who matters most to him -- a familial legacy then upended by Michael's (Al Pacino) business expansion in the 1950s. Now based in Lake Tahoe, Michael conspires to make inroads in Las Vegas and Havana pleasure industries by any means necessary. As he realizes that allies like Hyman Roth (Lee Strasberg) are trying to kill him, the increasingly paranoid Michael also discovers that his ambition has crippled his marriage to Kay (Diane Keaton) and turned his brother, Fredo (John Cazale), against him. Barely escaping a federal indictment, Michael turns his attention to dealing with his enemies, completing his own corruption.

[@harryle3189]

"Keep your friends close, but your enemy closer". Vito adopted this sly mindset since the beginning of his career. He had the option to kill Fanucci when meeting him, but instead got close to him first. Till his last moment, Fanucci still believed that he did Vito a favor because he took Vito under his wing. He died without knowing why. This scene showed the cold-blood and scary side of Vito, in contrast to his warm aura through out the movie.

[@bobbyricigliano2799]

So it appears that Don Fanucci is a feared mob boss who: Lives in a slum apartment Has no security detail Has no second in command Had no one to avenge his killing In other words, it took Vito Corleone 2 minutes and 3 bullets to become the new mob boss.

[@teddyroth1514]

Slum apartment? Just look in the background, for the crowded and noisy little Hells Kitchen that was a LUXURY apartment. I don't think the Don would want to live all the way in Staten Island or some shit, not even Brooklyn. He lived in Hells Kitchen most likely so he can keep watch on the people he bullies quite easily. Security detail? NOBODY has the balls to kill the padrone in broad daylight, period. He was in fact a second in command to Maranzalla, the actual leader of the Black Hand. Once you get whacked your whacked. If you kill the Padrone, your the padrone. That was rule. The assassination took 2 minutes and 3 bullets, sure. but it must have taken months to plan it.

[@slavomirlazarov2229]

He was not a real don. There is a deleted scene that show him getting beat and slashed by three boys. Vito saw it and understood that he is not a real made man.

[@mirinbrah739]

He was just pretending to be a Don. He was really just a neighborhood bully. Vito found out he was full of shit.

[@thepittstop]

He wasn't a Don. He had connections with powerful people and basically extorted the neighbourhood for money using fear tactics. He was actually a nobody, and Vito saw straight through him. Hence why having Fanucci murdered had no real consequences. Killing him is not what made Vito a Don.

[@Xehanort10]

Vito worked out that Fanucci was just a petty thug pretending to be a gangster after he got him to accept less money than he'd asked for from Vito, Clemenza and Tessio. He knew that no matter how much they were paid a real mob boss wouldn't let someone who tried to kill them live or use the police as a threat and that he'd have killed the boys who cut his throat if he'd been an actual gangster.

Someone earlier in these replies asked why Fanucci's henchmen didn't go looking for whoever killed him. It's simply because it was revealed that he wasn't as powerful as the neighborhood thought he was. He wouldn't be missed by anybody if he was taken out. There's a deleted scene from earlier in the film where Vito witnessed Fanucci getting jumped by three teens in a back alley and they cut his throat. This explains the scar you see on his neck.

[@ANTHONY0808able]

Correct, the book details that Fanucci works completely alone, he has no muscle working for him. Hence, he is alone in this scene. He is basically a fraud Don.

[@mst3KGf]

@@ANTHONY0808able Right, Vito figures out he gets by on both his reputation and his imposing physical nature to successfully shake people down. But he also knows of at least one card game that refuse to pay Fanucci's tribute and noting every happened to the guy who ran it. So Vito figured Fanucci was working alone aside from some hired guns he'd bring on for a specific job.

I'm glad I don't live in the US sometimes, but it really doesn't make a difference since most popular sites are based there.

Fanucci: What have you got there Vito: You talkin' to me?

[@karlbrock2569]

You insulted him a little.

[@joseignaciogazzi3278]

I really like the part when he remains hidden in the dark waiting for Fanucci is like we are about to see a part of Vito we never saw until this very moment.

[@realABN]

What an ageless masterpiece

[@costantinoandruzzi2219]

A loan shark's merciless death by a Webley revolver.

[@ronnieegan5427]

IMO, the best scene out of the 3 films, this is where it all began, the rise to power.

[@xdmemes5821]

Anyone notice how this scene parallels the scene where all the other family leaders die in part 1? With the religious ceremony intercut with killing?

[@34LOLWTF]

The echo of that last shot is sublime. Beautiful cinema.

Pacino and DeNiro! Gangster movies would not be gangster movies without these two!

That's why he shoots him through the mouth, to finish him off.

[@condors1972]

love the way the fireworks blends in with the shot and later when Michael shoots mccluskey & Sollozzo the sound of the train blends in with shots.

[@saigokun]

The build up towards this scene is also great.

[@laurainesacosta4631]

That was the day that Vito Andolini Corleone died, and Don Vito Corleone founder and head of the most powerfull mafia family in New York was born.

The difference between Michael's and Vito's first kill ...

[@BopaBola]

He still slightly hesitates on just getting it over with. He observes. He pauses and lets him feel it. He wants him dead. Has more reason. Its not what he wants overall but its needed. Michael was just told to do so and pressured into it all. Consequences of not doing either would of been catastrophic aswell.

[@aaronsinson3263]

Michael's first kill isn't shown, he's a war hero.

[@kfamily770]

they received guns from the same person. Clemenzo

[@matrix91234]

@@aaronsinson3263 Its more the intention of the kill. Killing for a mobster is way more harsh than defending your country

[@garyjones9910]

The dismissive way that Vito kicks him after he is dead shows his utter contempt for fanucci

[@gunnareriksen8756]

One of the best scenes.

[@KuyaRoddMemaTalks]

I like the practical effect used in this killing scene.

[@stevenspenneberg7407]

When Fanucci sticks his tongue out, he’s just “a wetting his beak. “

[@gtbai4902]

The irony of seeing Vito perform his first dark moment then goes to hold Michael right after.

[@Gphazor]

the surprising thing is that at first its vito hiding in the dark with a crude-form of silencing his gun and it looks like an ordinary runn-off the mill assassination attempt, but then the fireworks go off as vito shoots. you get the sense that vito really planned this out instead of just improvising an on the go hit. points for organization.

Classic scene but it really needs the rooftop stalking and colorful parade and crowd scenes for maximum impact. I like how the towel and flickering lightbulb are the distinctive touches that make this scene unique and stick in the memory.

@@darylralph8971 true I guess 'painful' is exactly right But to be fair: It wasn't Pacino alone Some other VERY bad actors in this horrible movie: Godfather's daughter ( I think she is Coppola's daughter in real) Godfather's sister ( she played Rocky's wife too ) Even the GREAT Eli Wallach was very bad here and some others Greetings from Austria, my friend

Fanucci's eyes blinking before Vito fires the second shot! The old Don trying to deny the realization that the punk he belittled was truly capable of toppling him from his throne.
