Why Michael Corleone Ignores Clemenza's Instructions In The Godfather's Restaurant Scene

One of the most chilling scenes in Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather is undoubtedly the infamous restaurant hit, in which fresh-faced Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) guns down Virgil "The Turk" Sollozzo (Al Lettieri) and corrupt police captain Mark McCluskey (Sterling Hayden). Notably, the future don ignores directions to open fire immediately after exiting the bathroom, instead opting to kill the two point-blank after sitting back down at the table before leaving the gun at the scene, which is actually an unrealistic Godfather moment, according to one former mobster.
