What is Scarface?

1) Nickname of Al Capone.

2) Film made in 1932 based on the life of Al Capone, starring Paul Muni as Antonio "Tony" Camote, directed by Howard Hawks and produced by Howard Hughes.

3) Remake of the original movie "Scarface" of 1932, made in 1983 with what was a modern day setting (Early 1980s), based on the Mariel Harbor Boatlift and "The Cocaine Wars" (mentioned once in "Time Magazine"), starring Al Pacino as Antonio "Tony" Montana, and directed by Brian De Palma. Usually considered one of the greatest movies, but was underrated when it came out. Now is considered a classic and possibly overrated.

2) Most people think that reference to "The Original Scarface" is being redundant, simply because of their ignorance.

3) A movie where everyone's favorite scene is a guy shooting people using an M16 with an M203 Grenade Launcher and screaming the infamous words "Say hello to my little friend! I'll take your fucking bullets! I'll take yo- *dies*".

Scarface - meaning

The term "Scarface" at first showed up as a nick name for Al Capone, infamous prohibition gangster. It was used originally as a movie title in 1932 which was loosely based on Al Capone's character. The movie was considered an instant hit back in 1932. In 1983 there was another "Scarface" movie made which was a remake of the 1932 original except in the 1983 version depicts a Cuban Refugee from the Mariel boat lift. This version was critically panned but nevertheless spectacular. As the years passed by, the 1983 version of the movie Scarface found a cult following. It is now considered a successful movie and usually compared to The Godfather movies, which both feature Al Pacino.

Today the name is used by rapper Brad Jordan, member of the Geto Boys. Subsequently the 1983 movie has also inspired many rappers, rap songs, TV shows, and a Playstation game. Many quotes are also used in mass media today, notably the ending and the dinner scene.

1. Al "Scarface" Capone went to jail for tax evasion, leading to his fall. He died later due to a stroke.

2. "Scarface" was a movie that came out in 1932 which was loosely made around Al Capone's persona.

3. "Scarface" was a remake of the 1932 movie which was made in 1983. By the critics, it was a flop originally, but financially did very well. It now enjoys critical acclaim by today's critics and inspires many other entertainment venues.

4. Scarface is a Houston area rapper, member of the Geto Boys. He is known as "Your rapper's favorite rapper." He has many albums out but isn't widely known due to low radio and TV play. He is nevertheless a very influential rapper.

5. South Park's "Medicinal Fried Chicken" and The Boondock's "The Fund Raiser" both have elements of Scarface (1983) in their plot. South Park's Cartman has a subplot in the "Medicinal Fried Chicken" episode where he relives the Scarface movie based on trafficking KFC. Likewise Boondock's Riley sells candy bars and goes from rags to riches in the same manner as Tony from Scarface. This episode went as far as having a desk with nothing but candy bars in one of his rooms.

Scarface - slang

A movie released in the early 80's, perhaps around '83. Starring Al Pacino.

Although old, it is a major, major cult classic these days. Boasting kick-ass music, an interesting storyline, and the infamous catchphrase "say hello to my lil friend!", at this rate Scarface will continue to please all viewers for generations to come (I would know; I know LOTS of people my age, even those much younger than me, who enjoy the movie a lot, and enjoy the catchphrase).

"Say hello to my lil friend!"
-Tony, with an M16 equipped with an M203 GL

"That's disgusting; look like a fawkin' lizard man."
-Tony, after seeing Manny do that tongue trick

"You need people like me so you can point your fawkin' fingers and say that's the bad guy!"
-Tony, at the restaurant, probably influenced by coke

Scarface

One of the best and one of the most underrated movies of all time. Al Pacino should have been nominated for Best Actor because his performance was brilliant.

Scarface is a very violent movie.
