Was his worst decision. And to have kids with her
But he had to get back home. Sonny had died and Fredo couldn't be counted on for shyt.
The worst betrayal in The Godfather (well second because I'm sure Fredo would be #1)

While Fredo didn't know they would try and kill Michael he is still complicit, there is no way to spin the betrayal
He was weak and stupid and woulda no doubt flipped eventually. Couldn't trust him at all. He respected his mom enough to wait till she was gone before doing it. The patience
His death shoulda been a part of the storyline for part 2. And it shoulda been painful.
True ..no defense for him...dude was desperate for America.
The movie didn't add this in but Sicily was always poorer in comparison to Mainland Italy...and then this was after the war so already rural with not much resources..the island was a bit in ruins..that gives him a reason I guess to why he betrayed Michael...I think it was jealousy main thing too.
Some American with not even full grip of Sicilian language who is only in Sicily because he is in hiding..then bags a beautiful Sicilian woman..meanwhile fabrizio is desperate wanting the American lifestyle that Michael is running from. He sitting there being a bodyguard for a man he probably has little respect for...who bagged a broad he can only fantasize about.

Bomb didn't even initially him...should've been limbs missing...this dude manages to almost get up twice after the explosion

Fabrizio's betrayal was so cutthroat that he was originally going to get his comeuppance and be executed by Mike, in person.
But I've heard different reasons as to why they took this scene out whether it was due to the effects looking bad, to Al Pacino accidentally injuring himself to Coppola & company realizing that it would be too risky for someone of Michael's stature to personally get his hands dirty, so they went with the car bomb at the pizzeria instead, which also sadly got deleted. I was always pissed that Fabrizio actually got away with his betrayal.

Yea I agree. Someone of Mike's status shouldn't be the one busting his gun. That's what the wolves/soldiers are for. Although I'm curious to see how that scene would have turned out.Fabrizio's betrayal was so cutthroat that he was originally going to get his comeuppance and be executed by Mike, in person.

Coppola should get bored after his next movie and make a "complete godfather cut", with this, and the scenes in the casino with Al Neri showing how he was such a factor (they made him look like a gopher when he is a straight hitter and Michaels most loyal and reliable hand).Fabrizio's betrayal was so cutthroat that he was originally going to get his comeuppance and be executed by Mike, in person.

Damn, I just realized Fabrizio's betrayal never comes back up...is there any dialogue or anything that hints at revenge taking place?
Been a while since I've seen part 1, and part 2 I last saw around Christmas and it was on TV w/ commercials so I wasn't paying full attention.

Mike shoulda had Fredo jumped when he defended Mo Green
