Question

its a scene where fredo bets with other guys and say something like the guy in the club is superman and at the same time being eyed by Micheal, what does the guy do/has ? and all the girls that surround( maybe seduce) this so called 'superman'

Answer 1

The Cuban "entertainer" known as "Superman" was a real individual who appeared in various night clubs and casinos from the late forties until Castro came to power. Superman, for lack of a better euphemism, was a "live s*x performer." He was an incredibly well endowed man, incredibly. Superman was included in that scene in "Godfather II" to show how hedonistic Havana was before Castro came to power. Michael never approved of Fredo's lifestyle, which was one of the many things that became a wedge between the two, and there is also a reference in the Godfather to Fredo "banging cocktail waitresses two at a time," which was also something else of which Michael did not approve. Tradition vs hedonism is one of the many tropes about morality in the Godfather trilogy (so is the Corleone's Family's refusal to deal heroin in "The Godfather" because Vito Corleone considers dealing drugs a "dirty business."

Answer 2

I sort of wondered if Fredo was g*y... first of all he takes them to a club like that - with hot, naked guys, haha .... he was always sort of fragile & delicate -- especially in that family where it was all about being tough and macho. He couldn't really control his drunk wife at the party and she basically told him he wasn't man enough for her.... I don't know.... just a thought!
