It's one of those perfect movies. The cast, the music, the cinematography, the dialogue....everything is outstanding.

So many people were able to "storm" Tony's house because they had LONGER to organize. Tony was too distracted by the disappearance of his sister to focus on "calling up the boys for war" and making a real plan of defense/attack. SO, when they showed up, they already had the upper hand and storming Tony's place was easier because it was "under-manned" due to sending people out to look for Gina.

@whatareyoulookingat908

Agreed. Had they been at the ready.. plus with Manny (who was also military like Tony) and the surveillance... it would have almost been an ambush against Sosa's men. The first few ambushed would have been fortified and they probably would have had double the men at the ready and at the location. And if Tony was also participating from the onset, it might have been enough to repel the attack. But beyond that... Sosa had more resources, so he'd keep coming. Tony's money would last for a while...but not forever. I wonder if he'd rat out Sosa in exchange for witness protection at that point?

If you guys liked this one, you definitely have to follow it up with "Carlito's Way". It's a very similar movie in a lot of ways. It has the same director (Brian DePalma) and also stars Al Pacino doing a bad Hispanic accent (except in this one he's Puerto Rican instead of Cuban 😂). It's also a gangster movie, but I like to think of it as "Scarface"-in-reverse. While "Scarface" is about a gangster's rise to the top, "Carlito's Way" is about a gangster who's already on top trying to go clean and leave the life. I also think it's kind of a better movie than "Scarface" (which I also love). You can tell Brian DePalma matured a lot as a filmmaker by the time he made it, and as a result it feels like a more mature movie (even though it still features a lot of cheesy lines and over-the-top violence).

I think Frank's house even appeared on MV a couple of times. Definitely the main impetus for Vice despite the creators' denial.

One of my favorite movies of all time, had it on VHS in the 90's and wore it out

best line in this movie 'you need people like me so you can point your finger and say that's the bad guy'

This movie seems a little over the top at times which is just ... perfect.

Al Pacino said this one of his favorite roles

By the way, you two are by far the best and most watchable film reactors on KZread, so thanks for doing such a great job. Some others aren't bad, but a few drive me nuts by either prattling on about nothing in particular all the time or having a really annoying laugh like a cackle or non-stop giggling. I always want to say 'Hey, shut up and pay attention to the movie!' And you both take so much trouble to analyse each film in detail, so you obviously were both absorbing each film and giving it a proper critique. Please keep up the good work!

The video game of the same name starts from the end of the movie, only Tony Montana actually lives through the battle and escapes his mansion.

Tony's the ultimate chaser. As long as there's something to go after he's in his element. But when he gets to the top there's nothing left to chase and he's got nothing left to prove, he's miserable. Kind of like a war-time general vs a peace time general. They're not the same thing.

Crazy that y'all never seen Scarface, an amazing movie

I still think this is Al Pacino's best performance of all-time. His magnum opus.

Those dopey rappers think Tony is a hero, LOL. That it's a cautionary tale about ego, ambition, and drugs goes right over their heads.

This was a remake of a 1930's "Scarface" movie. That version was a Hollywood fictionalized story of Al Capone. Back then it was the bootlegging business they updated to the drug trade that exploded after the Cuban boatlift where Castro emptied his prisons of all the criminals, mixed them with the refugees and dumped it all on Florida.

Important to keep n mind, this is more of a documentary than a movie. The 80's were gnarly, and hella killer.

Carpeted bathrooms were really a fairly common thing in the '80s when I was a kid.

We love him because he checks every box of "the hero's journey."

39:30 a lot of the final fight was actually directed by Spielberg. Him and DePalma were buddies. DePalma wrote the opening crawl text for a new hope.

He wasn’t lying

Pacino delivers one of the most powerful acting in history of film.

Alberto "The Shadow" (the assassin) is Mark Margolis, who was Hector Salamanca in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Phenomenal actor. Also, Tony Montana inspired Scott Hall's "Razor Ramon" character in the WWF. Even going so far as to use the "say hello to the bad guy" line.

You never gonna get tired of watching Scarface I can tell you that much this movie is a classic

"... and the... never mind - GLOSSARY. So it looks like it comes with threeee drinks" was too funny.

Don't think ive ever watched a Scarface reaction and its my 3rd favorite movie of all time. Nice reaction!

Great reaction. You guys should watch "Carlito's way" , a later film also directed by Brian de Palma with Pacino and Sean Penn. It's arguably a better film than this, though nowhere as iconic.

After Corleone, this is Pacino's next best performance. Iconic. I'm not normally a fan of remakes - particularly when the original was so good. But the complete switch of culture and location makes this essentially a new contemporary movie, with its own vision. It's a masterpiece that improves upon Paul Muni's harrowing portrayal in 1930s Chicago bootlegging. It does of course mean we know the story arc, but this is so stylish, well made, and brilliantly acted, you forget the parallels.

The reason so many fans love PACINO'S *SCARFACE* and admire him is because inspite the fact that Tony grew up HARD he worked hard and MADE IT.... sure it was in the wrong profession, but he worked it until he MADE IT.... If you want a flip side to this movie please watch *Carlito's Way* Starring Al Pacino....

Carlito’s Way another classic!

Fun Fact: Scarface was and is the only mainstream film to be rated "X". The director, Brian DePalma had to re edit the entire movie in order to have it reduced to an "R" rating. The DVD however was released in two versions. The theatrical release and the original "Unrated" version.

Midnight Cowboy was initially awarded an R by the MPAA, but the _studio_ decided to give it an X for release. The MPAA expanded the content permissible under an R rating some time later and it was _re-released_ with an R after that. Lots of movies were also initially GIVEN X ratings as presented to the MPAA for rating, and then recut to get R ratings for release.

Grew up with this movie lol, can't remember how many times i've seen it. Massive fan of the music in it as well! Bought the OST years ago and still listen to it today :) Great reaction as always, thanks.

The girl who distracted Manny in the car disappeared after filming her scenes. Tammy Lynn Leppert. She's been missing for over 39 years. I read articles and different stories circulated about her disappearance and the strange days leading up to it. I think her story is even on Unsolved Mysteries.

The part where his mother rejects him gets me teary eyed.. something similar happened with my mother and me back in the day for the same kind of reason.

Scarface was originally going to be a period film remake of the original Scarface from 1932 with Paul Muni when Al Pacino and his manager, producer Martin Bregman, were first developing the project. Director Sydney Lumet was originally hired to direct, but he didn't want to do a period remake of the 1932 movie and instead wanted to do a contemporary gangster film. Brian De Palma was originally developing a script for the police corruption drama, Prince of the City, but was hired by Bregman to do Scarface instead, and Lumet ironically ended up doing Prince of the City. Oliver Stone was hired to write the screenplay, but Stone also didn't want to do an Italian gangster film, instead taking inspiration from Lumet's original idea of doing a contemporary gangster film set in the illegal cocaine trafficking business.

Now think about why Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul were so good. It helps that Manny also played Don Eladio, Mama Montana played Tuco's Abelita, and the Hitman who took out F. Murray Abraham and got doned by Tony? HECTOR SALAMANCA.

I love this movie, first saw it at the Mann Chinese Theater when it came out, I was fourteen years old. The actor that's holding Tony Montana at gun point while his friend is getting killed by a chainsaw, was dating a friend of my mom when this movie came out. Not related to the movie, but watching you two make a commercial was priceless, that was a lot of fun.
