		Scarface with Al Pacino was originally to be filmed in Florida but received criticism from the Cuban community who objected to various aspects of the film.
		When the film was submitted to the MPAA it was rated X for violent scenes and graphic language, with the shooting of the clown performer and the chainsaw torture sequence the primary objects of concern.
		After the film was rejected for the third time DePalma with the help from a panel of experts including real narcotics officers told the MPAA the violence was an accurate portrayal of real life drug dealers and the film should be released with the violence intact to show viewers how violent the drug business was.

	Scarface
		Scarface starts in pretty much the only place it could: Miami, circa 1980, the time of the Mariel boatlift, in which Castro emptied his jails and allowed them all to flee to America, just at thetime that cocaine use was on the rise.
		The sound on the film itself is clear and loud, but the picture is not nearly as sharp as it could have been.
		The Scarface Scorecard (which keeps track of the number of "f-bombs" and bullets fired at the bottom of the screen) is not to be missed.

	Scarface: The Shame of the Nation (1932)
		The controversial film was made by versatile producer/director Howard Hawks in 1930, but its release was delayed for two years due to his and co-producer Howard Hughes' squabbles with industry censors over its sensationalism and glorification of the gangster menace.
		Due to squabbles over the film's release and the hue and cry over its depiction of the world of gangsterism, the film ultimately did poorly at the box office (it was banned in several states, and showings were delayed over a year in Chicago) and was withdrawn from circulation by Howard Hughes.
		Scarface is prefaced with a critical, written statement to indict gangster hoodlumism and the public's and government's indifference.

	Scarface: Collector's Edition (1983)
		She offers an appropriately jaded and bitter turn in the role, but she seems to be in the film as a symbol more than as a participant; Elvira's there just as a token to represent Tony's level of achievement.
		Once she disappears toward the end of the film, we don't hear from her again; alone among the main characters, her ultimate fate is a complete mystery to us.
		Frankly, I was rather sick of the film by the time I got to them, since I'd spent the prior 220 minutes watching the movie and the documentary, so I grew a bit impatient while they ran, but I'm sure fans of the movie will be very happy to see these cut scenes.

		Not the definitive film of the 80s but a definitive coke movie, the decade's drug of choice.
		A tribute to Hawks and Hecht, the director and writer behind the 1932 classic of the same name, ends the film, but this is very much a film of the 80s in its portrayal not of moral decline (there is little declining left to do) but of unstoppable ego-centrism.

	Scarface review (1983) Pacino - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
		Brian De Palma's (Dressed to Kill, Phantom of the Paradise) updating of Scarface is one of those films that runs the gamut from "all-time favorite" to "worst film I've ever seen" among critics and non-critics alike.
		Yet, Scarface is a three hour film, and as such, does tend to have its share of lulls, resulting in scenes that are unnecessarily long, and for a film this grisly, some of the events that transpire seem too unbelievable to be taken seriously.
		Despite the film's substantial flaws, it remains very watchable due to Pacino's bombastic performance, a smart script, and a director that knows what he's doing stylistically, even if his editing skills left much to be desired.

		But no one was prepared for the extremity of his 1983 film Scarface (Rated R), which is now out in a new DVD edition.
		The film's tone galvanized even moviegoers who had survived the '70s, and pop culture took one major step toward where it is today.
		Sometimes, as is the case in Scarface, it serves as a violent mask for a violent topic.

	SCARFACE
		Not only is SCARFACE a Howard Hawks masterpiece and a landmark in the screen depiction of gangsters, but it influenced many of the great contemporary mob films such as Martin Scorsese's GOODFELLAS, Coppola's GODFATHER films and Brian De Palma's 1983 remake.
		The film was an immediate hit when it was released, but it wasn't so easy bringing the film to the screen.
		A scene was made were Scarface (Paul Muni) ends up dead in the gutter in a pile of horse manure, but still this wasn't enough.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Scarface (1983)
		Nearly doubling the running time of the original, the film achieves a kind of epic status; though the expansion does not necessarily make for a better film, it makes it different enough that the remake can stand on its own terms.
		Most scenes are electric: whether you like where the movie is going or not, whether you like the characters or not (it's a bit of a roller coaster ride that way), it's hard to stop watching it.
		The icy character of Elvira Hancock, despite a fine performance by Michelle Pfeiffer, is one of the film's weak points; the screenplay requires her to have one too many changes of heart off-screen.

	Scarface \| Movie (1983)
		Scarface is a grandiose modern morality play, excessive, broad and operatic at times.
		Film's origins lie in the 1932 Howard Hughes production directed by Howard Hawks and adapted by Ben Hecht from the novel by Armitage Trail.
		Contours of the saga are very similar to those of the original, as the nearly three-hour effort charts the rise and fall of an ambitious young thug who for awhile becomes the highest shot in gangsterdom, but ultimately is just too dumb to stay at the top.

	Scarface (1983): Reviews
		Scarface is one of those special movies, like "The Godfather," that is willing to take a flawed, evil man and allow him to be human.
		Scarface is a B- movie with singularly silly psychological pretensions: its neo-primitivism is to the complex moral cosmos of Francis Coppola's "Godfather" saga as Disney is to Dickens.
		Brian De Palma dedicates this 1983 feature to Howard Hawks and Ben Hecht, authors of the 1932 original, though I doubt they would find much honor in his gory inflation of their crisp, 90-minute comic nightmare into a klumbering, self-important, arrhythmic downer of nearly three hours.

		Scarface is a 1983 motion picture directed by Brian de Palma and starring Al Pacino as Tony Montana, a fictional Cuban refugee who comes to Florida in 1980 as a result of the Mariel Boatlift.
		There was a huge controversy in the city of Miami during the making of the film over whether the producers should be allowed to shoot in the city.
		The Miami Tourist Board decided not to allow filming, as they were afraid the movie would discourage tourism to Miami, particuarly as it showed Miami's latest Cuban immigrants as gangsters and drug dealers.

	SCARFACE (1983) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		After two difficult years in the making, SCARFACE appeared in late 1983, marking De Palma's entry into territory he hadn't previously explored -- the American gangster film.
		Finally, SCARFACE also built a fervent and devoted following among viewers who, perhaps seeing themselves as disenfranchised in much the way Tony is when the story begins (and admiring his blunt humor and honesty as a character), embraced him as nothing less than a hero.
		Even more than CARRIE, DRESSED TO KILL and PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE before it, the film's acceptance spilled past the borders of De Palma's usual fan base, and within a few years it was solidly entrenched in popular culture.

		Scarface, by comparison, was a low key reworking of the 1932 Howard Hawke's classic, an atypical gangster movie in terms of it's political statements about Castro's Cuba and the futility / hypocrisy of the drugs war (also explored in "Traffic").
		Scarface is about a Cuban refugee who builds a powerful cocaine empire through a ruthless reign of ultra violence and business savvy.
		At the end of the film after the sunglasses-wearing hit man shoots Tony with the shotgun and he falls into the pool, the hitman is facing one way as Tony is falling but when they pan back up to the hitman he is facing another way.

		Scarface is a wretched, fascinating car wreck of a movie, starring Al Pacino as a Cuban refugee who rises to the top of Miami's cocaine-driven underworld, only to fall hard into his own deadly trap of addiction and inevitable assassination.
		Scripted by Oliver Stone and running nearly three hours, it's the kind of film that can simultaneously disgust and amaze you (critic Pauline Kael wrote "this may be the only action picture that turns into an allegory of impotence"), with vivid supporting roles for Steven Bauer, Michelle Pfeiffer, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and Robert Loggia.
		Howard Hawks's Scarface was one of the first "talkies" to reclaim the fluidity of the late-silent masterpieces, while also tapping into a feral new energy that came with talking smart and moving smarter on the motion picture screen.
