you never get bored of repeat viewing of this classic film

It just gets better with age. Arguably one of the greatest gangster movies of all times. In layman terms ... A must see and an absolute timeless classic!

This is one of those film where the term "overrated" gets thrown around, and it bothers me because this film is a true masterpiece that is even better than its 1932 original film. Brian del Palma brought his magic to this film and I can't imagine someone making this with as much passion and flare like he did.

I was 15 years old when this came out. The whole reason I wanted to see it, was because I had read in a magazine, that it was originally given an X-rating. I had to convince my mother to let me see it. She drove me to the movie theater and asked the ticket guy, if it was appropriate for a 15 year old, thankfully he said yes.

I saw this movie in the theater and it's still one of my favorite films all these years later.

"Fly, pelican!" is still my go-to quote when I see ANY bird that isn't an actual pelican.

The "Look at de pelican fly! C'mon pelican!" scene may be the funniest sequence in any non-comedy. It's incongruous with what's going on and the stupidity of the Montanna character, whether Tony knew it wasn't a pelican and was just being goofy or he really thought it was a pelican, is just gold. Thank God nobody was allowed to redo the soundtrack with a bunch of contemporary rap songs. Also, Son of Tony? What a blessing from heaven that was never made.

Scarface was such a masterpiece. I was planning to watch 10 minutes at first and ended up watching 3 hours straight. I missed dinner and a study group but it was worth it.

Scarface is and always will be one of the longest best entertaining movies. This is one of those movies if you fall asleep on it, it's so long that you wake up from a nap and it's still not even close to over 🤤

"Hey....You gotta job!" - Most underrated line in the film

Maybe it has been noticed and brought up by others: when Geena Davis is mentioned auditioning for Scarface, the picture supposedly showing her is actually Kelly LeBrock on the movie "Weird Science"!

Brian De Palma remade Howard Hawks' Scarface, which was already a masterpiece, with his own De Palma style infused with Sam Peckinpah level violent shootouts. You really can't get much better than that. It's a classic.

Beautiful piece. This was the first movie I saw in a theater over two hours long that flew like lightning. Many thanks for including the chainsaw edit. A lot of my friends thought I made it up. DePalma RULES.

Robert loggia deserved a Oscar nomination for his part.

As a GenXer born in 1968, I fully admit, I didn't actually see Scarface until decades later when I purchased the DVD of it. I would always see a Scarface poster in University Students houses back in the 2000's when I was a Cable TV Installer/Service Tech. That is mainly what drove me to blindly buy the movie before I actually watched it. I never regret the purchase and I do re-watch it every so often. It IS a must seen gangster movie and, like so many other 80's and 90's movies Hollywood keeps trying to re-make for money's sake. You can't capture the magic of the cast that helped tell this well written story. Thanks for making this video JoBlo!!

Alot of criminals saw scarface as the face of drug trade they always had a huge poster of him hanging around in the house cops actually started to suspect the pattern that how crazy the impact of this movie was

I spent most of my life in the New York, New Jersey tri-state area and people are still obsessed with this movie. I would go to businesses and there would be wall size movie posters on the wall. My mother loved this movie so much that it must’ve played over 50 times in my house back then when it came on VHS. I probably actually sat own and watched it about 20 times.

I remember seeing this the movies when it came out. The theaters were packed for weeks. The movie was beloved in the South Bronx.

Many of the things that went wrong made the movie even better. Nowadays Hollyweird plays it much too safe, so classics like "Scarface" are a thing of the past. Which makes them even more precious and special. Greetings from Germany :)

Al Pacino. A master of the subtle performance.

Scarface was also a time traveler. The Actress that plays his Mom was almost the same age as Pacino.

It's because the movie is timeless. It's funny because it definitely has that early 80s feel, and it captures that capsule of time. But the real answer is the realism, the rawness, and most of all, Pacino's performance. I mean this was one of them movies where we are rooting for the bad guy. Pacino's portrayal of Tony Montana is beyond mesmerizing. He does a lot, and I mean a LOT of bad things. And he makes us care about him. Also the movie is almost 3 hours and boy does it fly. The first half of the movie is Tony's journey to and through the American system. He starts off with nothing. And by the half point mark in the movie, he's got everything he wanted,"The World and Everything in It," then once he gets it, he begins his demise. And the last half hour or so is a complete master class of Tony's demise. I believe the whole movie is just a very tragic and cautionary tale. But Tony is a complete antihero, with more quotable lines in the film than probably any other. This movie blasted into the world in 1983. It is now 2023,and ppl still go back to it, the younger generation knows, the generation before that, and I'm sure this film will absolutely stand the rest of time. Imo, it's perfect. It's not like an American gangster movie that Martin Scorcese has pumped out many a time. And imo, I don't think that it should be compared to one. Sure, DeNiro and Pesci are the GOATS when it comes to the Italian American Mafia as we know. But this isn't like that. Yes, it's a gangster film but this deals with the Puerto Rican gangster, the cartel, the ppl who were supplying the mafia with cocaine and if you did that drug in the 80s,chances are , it probably went through the hands of ppl like Alexander Soda, and Tony Montana. This movie pulls you into Tony's world, the way he thinks, and his reaction to every aspect of his life. And you will never see a spiral into the bloody, fiery, and bullet riddled descent into hell that Tony goes to by the end of the movie. And when them credits role, the movie finally lets free of the grip it has on you. The thing about it is, this movie will stay with you, the cast and the acting is top notch. And you'll never see a bad guy like this again!

The chainsaw scene is unforgettable

It's crazy that this movie is 4 decades old.

Giorgio Moroder soundtrack as well. He also did Midnight Express and many others.

My grandfather is Cuban and he absolutely adores this movie

Great video. Thanks!

A timeless classic

An absolute timeless Classic and one of the greatest movies to ever be made

Watched this recently on 4k disc on my new 84' OLED... and my gawd, it's just as good as the first time I saw it 20+ years ago. It's just so endlessly captivating! Carrie also holds up beautifully from De Palma, but the Untouchables does not. That is kind of hard to get through nowadays.

This was a good watch very informative & interesting facts about 1 of my Favourite films ever Thank you

FASCINATING!!!! I've seen documentaries about Bian De Palma but here you've included so many interesting details I had never heard before!! As an immature and sensitive 20-year-old, I absolutely hated it when it came out, and like with so many other great masterpieces that were lambasted when made, it has taken many of us a lot of time to actually catch up with the genius of the creators... this is certainly a perfect example, as about 20 years later it became one of my all time favourite movies!!! A true masterpiece of cinema!!!

Scarface is not only one of the greatest gangster/crime films of all time, it’s also one of the greatest films ever made. A true masterpiece.

Still play the PS2 game

2023: the 40th anniversary of one of the greatest movies of all-time!!

We all know that MTV's Cribs really gave the movie a second life. Almost every episode had the DVD version featured. The DVD was only released as a limited run and was extremely expensive to buy in the late 90's/early 2000's due to that run. The VHS version was common in comparison. The anniversary remaster on DVD is when it became widely adopted

Welp, this film aged me hard, considering I turn 40 this year. It's an absolute classic, and I feel that everyone needs to see it, at least once. I can't count how many times I've watched this movie, but still my fave scene by far is still the chainsaw scene!

That’s not Geena Davis at 8:48 That’s Lisa Brock from Weird Science

Great show

Perfect timing. I just rewatched this yesterday 🙃

In my 45yrs as a Floridian and die hard fan of this movie, I've always thought it was filmed entirely in So. Fla🤦🏿‍♂️😂😂

Brian De Palma to critics at the time: You need people like me so you can point your fingers and say, that's the bad guy! 👉😎

Movie did the following: 1) made your channel (Jo wouldn’t have Blo without Scarface) 2) created Don Eladio and Tuco Salamanca 3) made my favorite movie of all time.

damn now i have to watch scarface again this weekend dear god they better not ruin this with a sequel

The fact that Pacino is the one who wanted to make that movie first just makes me love it even more.

Good job

Another issue Oliver Stone was going through, was that he was trying to get his project Platoon off the ground for years. This was while he penning Scarface and Midnight Express before that. Luckily, he got his wish, and Platoon won a few Awards as a result.

Brian De Palma gets criticized all the time for violence in his movies. I don’t mind it a whole lot, since I like a number of his movies

Your editing skills are astonishing

It's gonna be interesting to see how they'll celebrate the 40th anniversary of this film, being that it's almost timeless and still remembered by generations since.

I only first watched this movie recently (I'm 34) and it absolutely is a masterpiece but for some reason, I think that the films intro with all the news footage of Cubans leaving for the States and Fidel Castro going mental on the stage, is one of my most favourite movie openings of all time. I don't know why though

One of those rare movies where I constantly say "Oh I love this scene!" There's not a single bad moment during the entire runtime.

Even though I was a small kid in the early 80s when I stayed in Miami with my aunt. I can say that was a crazy time to be in Miami. I got to witness the McDuffie Rebellion.

Always a great one to come revisit never gets old and always just one of those films that is just good all around

Saw in the theatres twice and have the 4K disc They should show this UNCUT on broadcast TV (late at night of course)

Mandatory once a year viewing - it never gets old

Wtf where does the time go. It's almost been 40 years since this master piece came out. Shit I remember just 15 years ago I was in line at a Best Buy buying the 25th anniversary box set.

Saw this in the theater at 13, I'm so proud that Scarface was the 1st Rated R film I snuck in solo! Tony Montana the Goat

Amazing how much Geena Davis looks like Kelly LeBrock in that picture. Especially since she's wearing what LeBrock wore in Weird Science, truly amazing.

Such a good remake, one of my favorites

@8:48 that's Kelly LeBrock in that pic(picss from Weird Science), not Geena Davis

Honestly im very happy that they changed the theme from the 30s to the 80s miami. I think thats what made it really memorable

Absolute gem of a film.

Pfeiffer was in The Hollywood Knights in 1980,Scarface was released in 1983.

What’s the song? I’m not referring to Blue Macaw. What’s the other one playing at 12:30?

My favorite movie hands down. I learn somethin new every time I watch it!

Great movie still watching it #2023

My fav scene in the film is when He sees the blimp with, "The World Is Yours"

Another honourable mention is Scott Hall’s Razor Ramon gimmick in the WWF/WWE. He pitched the character to Vince McMahon with Curt Hennig, which was him doing his impression of Tony Montana from Scarface. You can KZfaq either Bret or Scott Hall telling the story. Vince had never seen the movie before and he LOVED the gimmick. Next thing, Razor gets a huge promotional push and becomes a big star, working with talent like Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. R.I.P. Scott Hall.

Love that little David Lynch part. lol

I fell asleep 3 times before i managed to watch the whole thing. Great OST tho

First time I watched I found it too long but over the years I just loved it..didn't even notice the length of the movie

One of my favourite movies. Carlitos way was also pretty good

This movie is like fine wine, it only gets better over time.

This is one of those films that looks interesting but I never got into until I got older. My grandfather watched this sometimes.

Awesome

It is my all time fav movie

The picture you flash up when you say Geena Davis is Kelly Le-Brock

Scarface the game is an sincere effort in progressing the timeline of the original movie. Thoroughly enjoyed it when it released. Planning to play it again soon 👌

Cannot belive Panicio did not win Oscar . He carried this movie like Kawi Leanarod carried 2019 Raptors.

"Cut the leg ehhh" 😂😂😂😂 The spanish in this movie is just funny

8:47 that's Kelly Le Brook, not Geena Davis

That's Kelly LeBrock at 23:38 not Gina Davis lol

"Say goodnight to the bad guy" Is a crazy deep scene I'll it's my favorite scene in any movie

One of my favorite movies. 🎥 My family is Cuban. ¡Dale! 🇨🇺

Thank you Oliver Stone for your awesome script.

A violent masterpiece where power, drugs and possible incest were a perfect mixture.

Can you believe "Amadeus" won best picture that year? A forgotten movie to most.

I can't believe that Michelle Pfeiffer almost wasn't hired in this movie due to her involvement in "Grease 2." That movie has always been a guilty pleasure of mine.

Say hello to my little friend!

The 80's went from being lame to being cool again, and this movie likewise became cool again by association.

This movie doesn't feel like nearly 3 hours

An incredible OST in this movie. It's a classic for good reason

8:48 you say Gina Davis but show a photo of Kelly LeBrock…lol

Hey wasn't Tony's mom the same actress that played Tucos Abolita?

Correction-That’s not Geena Davis it’s Kelly LeBrock (pic)

Can you guys make a video about The Life Of David Gale

I always figured Al's favorite movie role would've been Michael from _The Godfather Trilogy_ , Frank Serpico from _Serpico_ , or Sonny Wortzik from _Dog Day Afternoon_ , but according to an interview with Playboy Magazine on Al, it was Tony Montana from _Scarface_ . A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

That ending. The world Chico. And everything in it.

8:48 is Kelly Lebroch not Geena Davis
