That is actually exactly what was happening to me as a 16 year old boy. Ended up staying awake til 2am and watched the first part I missed the very next day :D and still to this day it‘s my favourite movie of all times!!
@No One when it first came out youd be right to say that. But over almost 30 years later this movie has become a masterpiece. Took ppl a long time to realize that and i bet you will realize it with more time
I personally didn’t like the excessive style of Scarface. I understand why it was necessary though - the film was meant to be an over-the-top, cocaine-fuelled tale of greed & excess. I did love Carlito’s Way, though. I also love Oliver Stone’s work too, especially Platoon & Born On The Fourth Of July. I may watch Tony Montana again to refresh my memory. Maybe the film had its desired affect on me because I detested Tony Montana. 😂
The fact this movie received terrible reviews and also that when making Godfather, Pacino was constantly on the verge of being fired. To me speaks volumes of what an incredible and misunderstood actor genius Al is. He brought his unique style to the roles which to this day stand the test of time. My favorite actor of all time. It's a shame he didn't get more Oscars for his legendary roles.
yeah when sosa ask's tony montana to whack some guy for him why could 'nt he get one of his own to do it instead he chose montana cause maybe he thought he was getting bigger than he (SOSA) was hmm
Al has been immortalized for playing more then a few roles, but this by far is one of his most memorable and believe it or not, one of his most influential ones. I honestly can't believe he doesn't have more academy awards to his name. It's a sin. Great actor.
They didn’t even gave him a nomination for Scarface but they gave the Oscar to Washington for playing crooked cop who murdered people.This is all you want to know about “the academy”.
The music was perfect! And at the start when they had Fidel giving a speech about the people that wanted to leave he said they were garbage and he didn't need them. It fit in perfectly!
@@belingonza318 There's something about the stereo mix of that song. On my old, old TV I always used to hear this percussion in it "cha-cha-cha/cha-cha-cha-cha" (like triplets). But the last time I watched on a newer TV and I could barely hear it. Anyway....that'll be in my head all day now. Even the dance tracks in it "rush-rush to the yayo" and "she's on fire" (dark synths cut in cos Tony sees his sister being 'disrespected') are so good...lol It really does have the best music ever.
Sombojoe C I've read that that line was given to him to help him with his pronunciation, when he saw the flamingos he threw it in,I've only read this mind,these are the things that pop up.
Al Pacino did practice a long time on that line he said somewhere in an interview, you can search it up. He basically surrounded himself with Cubans and a cuban coach.
@@olliesmith4997it’s the fun of the character, he really down to his core is a horrible person but he does have likeable qualities and you hate that they make him likable.
This is an absolute classic. Al , your poster is and has been on the wall of every rapper's bedroom. The black community loves you for bringing this character to life. Just epic! Directing, Producing, clothing, the set and ohhh the dramatic music.... so excellent. Al Pacino, you are a beast. That accent...OMG
You know this movie is a gigantic masterpiece when GTA dedicates an entire game to it (Vice City) and complies most of the soundtrack into Flashback FM (III)
its funny to hear..but watch AGNEEPATH starring Amitabh Bachan(who likes Pacino)...based on scarface..hindi ..indian movie ..u will be surprised pleasantly..
He played tony montana so well that till now Al has not snapped out of this tony montana way of acting. His acting , for all of his other movies roles, seems very tony montana-ish
I was addicted to this movie for a period of 5 months. Every day I would finish college, come back home and watch a part of the movie. Pacino's acting in top notch. Not to forget the all the other actors were also phenomenal.
I remember Steven Bauer said that for years him and Al wouldn’t talk about the film but one day they bursted out loud and said it was a f’ing good movie.
Al Pacino is such a great actor. To think he could play a coke enraged gangster so well and then play a calm but vengeful character like Michael Corleone is amazing.
Bang On!! know-one else could of pulled this off only the great pacino greatest gangster movie ever made great dialogue great team off writing great story ..yeah without doubt Tony Montana aka Scarface aka al pacino made that movie work..
This interview shows that Pacino is truly a genius at play. His analysis and speech is so unique to the way he views his work and his duty to us as the audience. He takes it with such passion and meticulousness, yet the final product is a movie that can resonate with the simplest themes. Just like a genius would do, explaining science, music, art, etc. It is incredible to hear HIS point of view on the character, and it makes such clear sense both as to why we almost feel familiar with a guy as foreign as Tony Montana as well as feel distant to him. Al Pacino truly could not have played the character any better, nor anybody else in the history of the planet. A magnificent actor that goes much deeper than this movie’s gangster antics may seem at first glance.
Al Pacino is such a cool guy. I wrote to him after he did Donnie Brasco and he actually wrote back and gave me his autograph. Even though he's very famous, he doesn't let it go to his head. I even wrote him a thank u letter after i got it. Such a nice guy.
@@DanielA-kv2tk yeah he was great in that role. He was good in a movie called Cruising back in the day. Weird movie but yeah, Al has been in a lotta great movies especially And Justice for All

1: Tony shooting the only person in the world he could actually imagine marrying his sister is beyond heart breaking. 2: Pacino sure as hell did actual coke in the snorting scenes. Hollywood hadn't perfected a working substitute yet at that time.
I remember skipping school in 83 in Miami to watch this with my buddys, no 1 spoke we were glued to the screen in shock,we learned more that day than anything from school
I can't describe the meaning this movie has for me, I mean the setting the colors the characters the music everything is just perfect for me, i'll keep this movie in my heart for the rest of my life.
Al Pacino is simply amazing. After Brando he is definitely my favorite actor of all time. He has turned ordinary roles into great ones and great roles into classics. It is hard for me to say Tony Montana is his greatest role but it is just as good as Michael Corleone. And Sonny Wortzik is just as great too. Those 4 films are right at the top of my favorites by anyone.
A lot of people have ripped his accent in this, but I thought he nailed it. Knowing he had all those Cubans around him helping him along, now I know I was right.
moncorp1 Even though I'm Cuban I'm not really familiar with Cuban accent in English It would've been more realistic if he just spoke Spanish the whole movie
Many Cubans are pissed that they didn’t pick a Cuban to play the role just like Mexicans were pissednoff that JLo a Puerto Rican player Selena but can you imagine anyone else playing those roles after everything is said and done? No. Those people that are pissed should really watch a video like this and they will develop a different perspective once they see the care and respect and diligence an iconic actor like Pacino takes to fulfill the demand of a role. That’s why no one else will ever top this performance.
LEDANCETHERAPY My family is from Cuba I don’t know how anybody wouldn’t want Al Pacino to play that role Ps according to 23 and me iam 14 percent Italian
Scarface is a beautiful movie. Apart from the limitless talent in the acting department, i will always remember Scarface for it's rich tapestry of vibrant colors. The city was dark but still vibrant af. What a movie!
i'd say it's actually disturbingly violent almost like a horror movie thanks to the practical effects and tense score but when it comes to the dark comedy scenes it's laugh inducing
@Jody Doherty Fair argument. People can feel sorry for any character whether it's real or fictitious. People can feel sorry for Hitler because his father was an abusive alcoholic and he never got into art school. But we still hate him.
@@omegamanGXE you are opening a rabbit hole there.. either you're trying to be spicy or I'm incredibly concerned, both for you and the sake of us as a collective species.
People don't understand what it means to see a younger sister growing up in an evil world. You want her to do better than you ever did. To see her pair up with someone from your world is a heartbreaker that nobody understands if they have never been through it. It goes way beyond wanting the best for her
Nah his bro was a good dude tho. Even though he was "from his world" .. he acted outta impulse still . Bc she actually loved him or she wouldnt have reacted like she did. Tony loved him too (obviously lol)
@@TheFirstTEE1 I guess that would depend on what you think is showing inappropriate attention for your sister. Yes I have seen the original and the deleted scenes
When I watched on TV "Top 100 Greatest Movie Quotes" with my Grandmother and "Say hello to my little friend!" came up and my Grandmother..Rest in Peace..started laughing loudly at that brought me inexplicable joy to hear that. At that time ohhh the joy I felt when she laughed at something I would never think she would laugh at was priceless 😃😃😃
@@salvatoreperez5113 A whole lot of ppl would disagree with you....saying that Scarface isn't one of Pacino's top 5 movies. Some may even argue that it is #1
I got octopus coming out my fkin ears, mayne. Edit: *,* 3 years ago I made a terrible mistake.😕 I did not use the correct grammar.😔 For this I am truly sorry. So this goes out to all you mangs out there. Be a mayne👌
Don't forget the real credit also goes to Oliver Stone for writing the screenplay for this brilliant masterpiece. Many individuals forget, or never even knew that little bit of information. But without writers like Stone and others like him, we would never see movies like this being made. Especially during this time period.
He isn't associated with this like Francis Ford Coppola is with The Godfather. But he deserves to be known for it, this was intended to expose the violence associated with the coca*ne trade. A political movie (just as 1932 Scarface was with Chicago mob violence)
@@Olsenator Ok we're done here, not talking to kids who have terrible reading comprehension. FYI, don't bother responding because you'll be wasting carpal tunnel. Run along troll.
I’m so grateful for this film’s existence! This is one of the greatest, not just crime films, but also one of the greatest films ever made too! This masterpiece was robbed of so many Academy Awards!! I love this film!!
Exactly,But al pacino said the coke was real without actually saying it.This movie came out during the crack epidemic.Even the director said wasn't sure if it was real.You think he would say no it wasn't real it was baking soda etc.My guess most of it was fake and only what he snorted was real.I am putting myself in the directors shoes.Food for thought.
do you understand how great of an actor you have to be to pull off being a different ethnicity without having any protest at all from the culture you're portraying.. and furthermore years later to do it again with Carlito's Way and no one protest or get pissed off he is hands down the best actor of all time
@@Mari000 Exactly, they say you can only play a disabled character if you're disabled or a gay character if you're gay, etc. It's called acting, not being yourself.
This guy is such a beast. Him & Rob De Niro are in a class of they’re own. From a whole different era of acting & showmanship that is forgotten today in most of the movies coming out unfortunately
I will say this till my last breath, there ain’t a damn human on this planet that can ever play Tony Montana the way he did. Al Pacino is a genius, he literally gave life to this character and blew the world away when everyone first saw it. No matter how many people try or be better Tony Montana (pacino) can never be topped or imitated. I don’t know how he does it. But every film he has ever done or does he’s so different because he makes the character come to life to a point where you start to believe that this character is real and it is him. It’s almost as if he forgets he’s al Pacino and steps into the body of whatever character he is playing and he just forgets who he is and turns into a different person. Not caring how he looks or what people think. He just becomes the character fully and makes the audience forget he’s Al. ❤️
wrong, he was jealous of his sisters womanhood allowing her to assimilate to the country and find a wellsuited partner she could relate to. he weaponised her innocence would only show her affection when she was vulnerable and rejected her or would tell her off when she expressed any form of confidence and independence. he didnt want her but wanted control her sexually. their mum was protective over gina and angry at tony because she knew this sort of manipulation could ruin her innocence and pervert her mental wellbeing. tony being the pig that he is couldn't deal with the humiliation he felt when gina desired his friend and destroyed her the only way he knew how-violence
No doubt about it, Pacino plays a classic role known throughout the globe. Honorable mention has to go to the late & great actress Miriam Colon (who played Tony's mom). Her role was a short one, but a powerful one that went right to the core ❤
Nobody ever talks about how funny the character is I feel like. It’s one of my favorite things about him and I think gives him so Much likability and cracks me up every time I watch it and it makes his inevitable downfall all the more tragic.

Scarface is the kind of movie, that if you accidently catch it on a TV, you'll end up staying and watching the rest.
Exactly!!! I could glance at any random scene and then freeze and watch the entire rest of the movie. Every single scene is captivating!
That is actually exactly what was happening to me as a 16 year old boy. Ended up staying awake til 2am and watched the first part I missed the very next day :D and still to this day it‘s my favourite movie of all times!!

Can't believe *AL PACINO HAS ONLY ONE OSCAR* He is a brilliant actor.
He has won two
The Oscars are dumb and usually the voting is rigged by producers and studios. They shouldn't be used to measure talent anyway.
He’ll get his flowers once he’s gone. 🤦♂️
@@AkouriAmmarHe has won one (1) academy award (Oscar). Best Actor for Scent of a Woman.
The distance between Michael Corleone and Tony Montana, and how impeccably both were performed, is testament to how good an actor Al Pacino is.
Agree! He played Michael Corleone with an air of refinement and Tony Montana’s character was so raw! Great acting in both.
If you want to see distance in character check him out in Scarcrow
He was completely ROBBED of the Oscar for this movie. Didn't even get nominated. WTF?
Baby T Rex yaa but it did very well commercially, but that downs deby pacino of its rights
I'd say Pacino was robbed of an Oscar for either Godfather movies.
they just can't stand the ultra violence
Absolutely.Totally agree.
This movie was hated when it came out.
Al Pacino was to Scarface like Heath Ledger was to the Joker...One of a Kind
Jack Nicholson was a classic... dont get me wrong but Heath did get the oscar...
chim chee I'm with you with Jack Nicholson. He was my favorite Joker of all time
chim chee whys didn't you just agree you bitch ass boy
Juan Fernandez definitely feel you but Jack Nicholson was so classical
Very well said.
This movie was so ahead of its time that it took certain people 10 years before they understood it! Masterpiece
Took me a few seconds into the intro...
THIS!!!!!
I personally didn’t like the excessive style of Scarface. I understand why it was necessary though - the film was meant to be an over-the-top, cocaine-fuelled tale of greed & excess. I did love Carlito’s Way, though. I also love Oliver Stone’s work too, especially Platoon & Born On The Fourth Of July. I may watch Tony Montana again to refresh my memory. Maybe the film had its desired affect on me because I detested Tony Montana.
😂
Why was this movie so ahead of it's time?
I just wanted to be your 500th like
The fact this movie received terrible reviews and also that when making Godfather, Pacino was constantly on the verge of being fired. To me speaks volumes of what an incredible and misunderstood actor genius Al is. He brought his unique style to the roles which to this day stand the test of time. My favorite actor of all time. It's a shame he didn't get more Oscars for his legendary roles.
See Art Carney getting it instead of Pacino for Godfather part 2 ! A joke !
The godfather without pacino would have been boring. It needed an actor who could speak with his eyes and emotions.
my favorite AL Pacino performance is him in Devils Advocate

One of the greatest movies ever.
I can't describe the meaning this movie has for me, I mean the setting the colors the characters the music everything is just perfect for me, i'll keep this movie in my heart for the rest of my life.
Miami vice also
the scarface theme song is fire
Feel the same way. Well said.
Carlito's Way is pretty brilliant. Queen of the South is absolutely NO slouch for what it offered.
@Nedd Flanders - Okely Dokely, was this for me ?
Al Pacino is simply amazing. After Brando he is definitely my favorite actor of all time. He has turned ordinary roles into great ones and great roles into classics. It is hard for me to say Tony Montana is his greatest role but it is just as good as Michael Corleone. And Sonny Wortzik is just as great too. Those 4 films are right at the top of my favorites by anyone.

"i always tell the truth.......even when i lie" - Tony Montana
One of the best lines ever.....🤣
Does that make him a bad liar lol
@@ProjectAthens144 it doesn't matter whether you tell a good lie or a bad lie, you're still a liar!!!! Lol
That line is just the best, from one of the best actors ever

A lot of people have ripped his accent in this, but I thought he nailed it. Knowing he had all those Cubans around him helping him along, now I know I was right.
moncorp1 chute that piece a chit

Even though I'm Cuban I'm not really familiar with Cuban accent in English
It would've been more realistic if he just spoke Spanish the whole movie
Anyone else would have failed miserably, Al Pacino did a great job.😆
Many Cubans are pissed that they didn’t pick a Cuban to play the role just like Mexicans were pissednoff that JLo a Puerto Rican player Selena but can you imagine anyone else playing those roles after everything is said and done? No. Those people that are pissed should really watch a video like this and they will develop a different perspective once they see the care and respect and diligence an iconic actor like Pacino takes to fulfill the demand of a role. That’s why no one else will ever top this performance.

My family is from Cuba I don’t know how anybody wouldn’t want Al Pacino to play that role
Ps according to 23 and me iam 14 percent Italian
Scarface is a beautiful movie. Apart from the limitless talent in the acting department, i will always remember Scarface for it's rich tapestry of vibrant colors. The city was dark but still vibrant af. What a movie!
i'd say it's actually disturbingly violent almost like a horror movie thanks to the practical effects and tense score but when it comes to the dark comedy scenes it's laugh inducing
One of the best movies ever with one of the best actors ever. A timeless masterpiece!
Al Pacino played a bad guy in Scarface but he seems like such a personable and nice guy in real life. Always polite and friendly with fans.
Yeah well, he's a really experienced actor and one of the all time greats, sooo...

Mine 2 m8 😂😂
He says you was in a sanitarium not you worked in a sanitarium
You shoulda toll them you was a horse.... and they would’ve let you in!! Omg the best movie!
"I told you to tell em you was in a sanitarium. You had tb, and you was cured"
Me and my mom always say this and laugh she goes" so watchu tell em" then we do the scene 😂😂
Nothing could ever touch this masterpiece
There is no way this movie should not of received an academy award!

Al Pacino is also extraordinary in The Devil’s Advocate. An elite actor.
That actually might be my favorite movie with him in it. That film is 10/10.
Thats a crazy movie
Charlize Theron acts so well in that film when shes going crazy its actually disturbing
He only acts when he plays himself … you know that right?! Hahanaha
@Khaos969 I agree , love her character
People don't understand what it means to see a younger sister growing up in an evil world.
You want her to do better than you ever did.
To see her pair up with someone from your world is a heartbreaker that nobody understands if they have never been through it.
It goes way beyond wanting the best for her
Nah his bro was a good dude tho. Even though he was "from his world" .. he acted outta impulse still . Bc she actually loved him or she wouldnt have reacted like she did. Tony loved him too (obviously lol)
I always thought he had a thing for his own sister. They implied it in the original.
@@TheFirstTEE1 no they didn't. He wanted the best for her.
She went off the deep end
@@scrappydoo7887 Yes they did. You probably never even watched the original.
@@TheFirstTEE1 I guess that would depend on what you think is showing inappropriate attention for your sister.
Yes I have seen the original and the deleted scenes
Watched it for the first time last night in theaters for it’s 40th anniversary and damn I’m so blown back. What a picture.
I'll never forgive Tony for killing Manny. Without Manny Tony would have never made to the big time. Manny was down for Tony.
Phillip Torres Part if the tragedy of it. Tony Montana was a completely self-destructive person.
He was coked up and in a rage.
Manny and Gina should not have gone all cloak and dagger.

"Say hello to my little friend"a word that will never forget.
When I watched on TV "Top 100 Greatest Movie Quotes" with my Grandmother and "Say hello to my little friend!" came up and my Grandmother..Rest in Peace..started laughing loudly at that brought me inexplicable joy to hear that. At that time ohhh the joy I felt when she laughed at something I would never think she would laugh at was priceless 😃😃😃

After all these years Scarface is in category - must see film. If u like crime, drugs and action just press play button. Incredible.
Watched it over 100 times and still want to watch more. My favorite movie!
Don't forget the real credit also goes to Oliver Stone for writing the screenplay for this brilliant masterpiece. Many individuals forget, or never even knew that little bit of information. But without writers like Stone and others like him, we would never see movies like this being made. Especially during this time period.
He isn't associated with this like Francis Ford Coppola is with The Godfather. But he deserves to be known for it, this was intended to expose the violence associated with the coca*ne trade. A political movie (just as 1932 Scarface was with Chicago mob violence)
Well said

Haven't seen Scarface in 3 years. Need to watch this movie again.
Kozzie Vercetti how??? Lol sucj a classic film they play it all the time on TV
Because I watch other movies too lmao
Watched it last night for about the 300th time never gets old
It's on tonight

All time classic movie with a great cast. And let's not forget the great musical score that runs through the film.
I’m so grateful for this film’s existence! This is one of the greatest, not just crime films, but also one of the greatest films ever made too! This masterpiece was robbed of so many Academy Awards!! I love this film!!
What a movie !!
Mundi Cox eh?
ichdichhasserwasser It's a compliment haha
If that coke was real, they would have went WAY over budget. lol
Money dosent matter for them its all about simbolism...
Exactly,But al pacino said the coke was real without actually saying it.This movie came out during the crack epidemic.Even the director said wasn't sure if it was real.You think he would say no it wasn't real it was baking soda etc.My guess most of it was fake and only what he snorted was real.I am putting myself in the directors shoes.Food for thought.
If they were short a couple of mill then Pacino would just go on the street for em - a mill here, a mill there... they've got it! He hears things.
It would have been a helluva movie
The pile may have been fake...but the snorted stuff...def could have been the real deal back in the 80s 🤣😎
I must watch this film at least once every few months. What a trip!
do you understand how great of an actor you have to be to pull off being a different ethnicity without having any protest at all from the culture you're portraying.. and furthermore years later to do it again with Carlito's Way and no one protest or get pissed off he is hands down the best actor of all time
Jemel Moore
I am Cuban I think you could be any ethnicity and play someone from cuba
Henry Perez exactly
Too many snowflakes now
@@Mari000 Exactly, they say you can only play a disabled character if you're disabled or a gay character if you're gay, etc. It's called acting, not being yourself.
LemonZeppelin agreed!
This guy is such a beast. Him & Rob De Niro are in a class of they’re own. From a whole different era of acting & showmanship that is forgotten today in most of the movies coming out unfortunately
What about Jack Nicholson
Leo Decaprio
Just good
Nothing great
Overrated
De Niro, Pacino, Washington, Nicholson.
Thus movie grows on you. And everytime it's on I watch it.
Can we all just agree that “Tony Montana” is/was the greatest movie villain BADASS of all time ???
He was no villain
he was a god damn boss
Hey Ernie. You wanna a job?
winter ramos Sure Tony...
ikano BG you call Me tomorrow ok!
You know my man Ernie had full of shit in his pants 😂😂😂
winter ramos sure Tony..
Nando yaa that's the first thing that u noticed when they zoomed at his face
I will say this till my last breath, there ain’t a damn human on this planet that can ever play Tony Montana the way he did. Al Pacino is a genius, he literally gave life to this character and blew the world away when everyone first saw it. No matter how many people try or be better Tony Montana (pacino) can never be topped or imitated. I don’t know how he does it. But every film he has ever done or does he’s so different because he makes the character come to life to a point where you start to believe that this character is real and it is him. It’s almost as if he forgets he’s al Pacino and steps into the body of whatever character he is playing and he just forgets who he is and turns into a different person. Not caring how he looks or what people think. He just becomes the character fully and makes the audience forget he’s Al. ❤️
Oh buddy just wait till hollyshit decides to remake it and turn Tony into a woman because Feminism lmfao. I can see them doing it.
Either a woman or a black guy....
tbh after the 70s he always played himself but he's so enigmatic that it's perfectly forgivable...

RaMith CertifiedDamager alex, you there?!
Tony loved children. He felt a duty to preserve his sisters innocence for her own good. Tony was a man with heart.
wrong, he was jealous of his sisters womanhood allowing her to assimilate to the country and find a wellsuited partner she could relate to. he weaponised her innocence would only show her affection when she was vulnerable and rejected her or would tell her off when she expressed any form of confidence and independence. he didnt want her but wanted control her sexually. their mum was protective over gina and angry at tony because she knew this sort of manipulation could ruin her innocence and pervert her mental wellbeing. tony being the pig that he is couldn't deal with the humiliation he felt when gina desired his friend and destroyed her the only way he knew how-violence

Sir Al you put your name on the world!!
No doubt about it, Pacino plays a classic role known throughout the globe. Honorable mention has to go to the late & great actress Miriam Colon (who played Tony's mom). Her role was a short one, but a powerful one that went right to the core ❤
Miriam Colon was perfect for Tony's mom. She was great trying to protect her daughter from her criminal son.
I agree, that scene was memorable.
Nobody ever talks about how funny the character is I feel like. It’s one of my favorite things about him and I think gives him so
Much likability and cracks me up every time I watch it and it makes his inevitable downfall all the more tragic.
So true. He's hilarious. The things he says are hilarious. Every time I watch it I catch more.
Funny how?
