Scarface

Scarface is a 1983 American crime film directed by Brian De Palma and written by Oliver Stone, starring Al Pacino as Tony Montana, a ruthless Cuban refugee who arrives in Miami amid the 1980 Mariel boatlift, assassinates a political target to gain entry, and rapidly ascends to dominate the city's cocaine trade through betrayal, violence, and unchecked ambition, only to unravel via paranoia, addiction, and excess.^[1] The film serves as a loose remake of Howard Hawks's 1932 gangster classic of the same name, which drew inspiration from the Prohibition-era exploits of Al Capone, reimagining the bootlegger's rise-and-fall arc in the context of 1980s drug trafficking and immigrant entrepreneurship.^[2] Produced by Martin Bregman with a budget exceeding $40 million, Scarface faced significant hurdles upon release on December 9, 1983, including an initial X rating from the MPAA for its explicit depictions of gore, profanity, and drug use, which was appealed and reduced to R after edits amid producer protests against the designation as "pornographic."^[3] Critics at the time lambasted it as excessive and nihilistic, with some Cuban-American communities decrying its portrayal of Marielitos as criminals, contributing to mixed reception and modest initial box office returns of about $66 million worldwide against high production costs.^[4]^[5] Despite earning Golden Globe nominations for Pacino's lead performance and Steven Bauer's supporting role, along with recognition for Giorgio Moroder's score, the film's operatic style and unapologetic embrace of capitalist excess divided audiences.^[6] Over decades, Scarface evolved into a cult phenomenon, lauded for Pacino's hyperbolic portrayal of Montana's inexorable self-destruction as a cautionary tale of hubris and moral decay, influencing the gangster genre's emphasis on anti-heroes and excess.^[2] Its cultural footprint expanded profoundly in hip-hop, where Tony Montana's mantra of power through wealth—"first you get the money, then you get the power"—resonated as an archetype of rags-to-riches defiance, referenced by artists from Jay-Z to Nas and shaping narco-glam aesthetics in music, fashion, and video games, though some critiques highlight its role in romanticizing criminality among youth.^[7]^[8]

Historical figures

Al Capone

Alphonse Gabriel Capone (January 17, 1899 – January 25, 1947) was an Italian-American organized crime figure who rose to prominence as the boss of the Chicago Outfit during the Prohibition era, controlling vast bootlegging, gambling, and vice operations in the 1920s.^[9]^[10] His nickname "Scarface," which he detested and often tried to conceal with makeup or strategic hat placement, derived from three parallel scars across his left cheek sustained in a violent altercation.^[10] Born in Brooklyn, New York, to Italian immigrant parents Gabriele and Teresa Capone, he left school after sixth grade following a fight with his principal and joined local street gangs, including the Five Points Gang, where he worked as a bouncer and enforcer.^[11] In 1917, while employed at Frankie Yale's Harvard Inn in Coney Island, Capone insulted a woman during a bar confrontation, prompting her brother, Frank Galluccio, to slash his face with a knife or razor, leaving the permanent scars that earned him the moniker from associates and later the press.^[10] He married Mae Coughlin in 1918 and had one son, Albert Francis "Sonny" Capone.^[11] Capone relocated to Chicago in 1920 at the invitation of his mentor Johnny Torrio to assist in expanding bootlegging rackets amid the enactment of the 18th Amendment prohibiting alcohol.^[10]^[11] Following an assassination attempt on Torrio in 1925, which prompted Torrio's retirement, Capone assumed leadership of the Chicago Outfit, operating from the Metropole Hotel and generating an estimated $100 million annually through illegal liquor distribution, gambling houses, brothels, bribery of officials, and extortion.^[10]^[9] His syndicate engaged in territorial wars with rivals like the North Side Gang led by Dean O'Banion and later Bugs Moran, culminating in the St. Valentine's Day Massacre on February 14, 1929, when seven members of Moran's crew were machine-gunned to death in a Lincoln Park garage—an event widely attributed to Capone's orders, though he was never charged.^[10]^[11] Federal authorities, including the Bureau of Investigation (predecessor to the FBI) and the U.S. Treasury, pursued Capone for years without success on murder or bootlegging charges, turning instead to tax evasion after documenting his unreported income exceeding $1 million from 1924 to 1929.^[9] Arrested multiple times, including for weapons possession in Philadelphia in May 1929 (resulting in a nine-month sentence), he was convicted of tax evasion on October 17, 1931, and sentenced on November 24, 1931, to 11 years in federal prison, a $50,000 fine, and over $215,000 in back taxes plus interest.^[9]^[10] Incarcerated initially at the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary in 1932, he was transferred to Alcatraz in August 1934, where his influence waned amid strict conditions; paroled on November 16, 1939, due to advanced neurosyphilis complicating his health, Capone retired to his Florida estate.^[10]^[11] He died of cardiac arrest on January 25, 1947, at age 48.^[10]

Literature

Scarface (novel)

Scarface is a pulp fiction novel written by Armitage Trail, the pseudonym of Maurice Cooney (1903–1930), and published in 1930 by Claude Kendall.^[12] The work, sometimes subtitled The Shame of a Nation, portrays the Prohibition-era criminal underworld of Chicago through the rise and fall of protagonist Tony Guarino, an ambitious young Italian-American hoodlum.^[13] Trail, a Midwestern pulp writer who contributed to detective magazines, crafted the story amid the real-life violence of organized crime syndicates, drawing loose inspiration from figures like Al Capone without direct personal encounters.^[14] The plot centers on eighteen-year-old Tony Guarino, who begins as a low-level criminal in Chicago's rackets, escalating through bootlegging, extortion, and murders to seize control of the city's vice operations.^[15] His ruthless ambition leads to alliances and betrayals, including tensions with his sister Cesca and her husband, a subordinate gangster, amid escalating gang wars.^[16] Paranoia and hubris ultimately precipitate Tony's downfall in a hail of police bullets, underscoring the novel's theme of inevitable self-destruction in criminal pursuits.^[17] Though not a literary masterpiece, Scarface captured the era's gangster allure and brutality, selling modestly upon release and gaining posthumous prominence through its adaptation into Howard Hawks's 1932 film.^[18] Contemporary reviews praised its atmospheric evocation of Chicago's mean streets and character-driven narrative, despite critiques of clunky prose and underdeveloped motivations.^[12] ^[14] Trail died at age 27 in a Naples shooting shortly after publication, limiting further output but cementing the novel's status as a foundational Prohibition crime tale.^[19]

Film

Scarface (1932 film)

Scarface is a 1932 American pre-Code gangster film directed primarily by Howard Hawks, with additional direction by Richard Rosson, and produced by Howard Hughes through his Caddo Company.^[20]^[21] The screenplay, credited to Setta I. Miller, John Lee Mahin, and uncredited contributions from Ben Hecht and others, adapts Armitage Trail's 1929 novel Scarface, which drew from the real-life exploits of Chicago mobster Al Capone.^[20] Paul Muni stars as Antonio "Tony" Camonte, an ambitious Italian immigrant enforcer whose ruthless ambition propels him through the ranks of Prohibition-era organized crime. Supporting roles include Ann Dvorak as his sister Cesca, George Raft as his coin-flipping bodyguard Rinaldo, Osgood Perkins as rival boss Johnny Lovo, and Boris Karloff as assassin Gaffney.^[20]^[21] The narrative traces Camonte's ascent from low-level hoodlum to underworld kingpin in 1920s Chicago, beginning as Lovo's bodyguard and escalating through betrayals, turf wars, and massacres of rival Irish gangs. Camonte's unchecked violence, paranoia, and obsessive protectiveness over Cesca—culminating in her forbidden romance with Rinaldo—unravel his empire, leading to a climactic siege by police. Hawks employed innovative techniques, such as X-ray-style overhead shots of tommy-gun massacres and rapid-fire editing synced to gunfire sounds, to heighten the film's visceral intensity.^[21]^[22] Principal photography occurred in 1930 at Metropolitan Studio in Hollywood, but release was delayed nearly two years due to battles with state censors and the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA), precursors to the strict Hays Code enforcement in 1934.^[23] Hughes resisted demands to soften the glorification of crime, ultimately adding a prefatory title card declaring the film an "indictment of gang rule" and reshoots for an alternate ending showing Camonte's execution to appease moral guardians concerned about emulating real gang violence.^[24] Despite these concessions, five states and some cities banned screenings, yet the controversy fueled public interest.^[25] Premiering April 9, 1932, in New York after a March 31 Louisiana debut, Scarface grossed approximately $600,000 domestically, outperforming Hughes's prior ventures despite high production costs exceeding $700,000.^[20] Contemporary reviews lauded Muni's scenery-chewing performance and Hawks's dynamic pacing, though some critics decried its brutality; modern assessments, including a 98% Rotten Tomatoes score from aggregated sources, hail it as a seminal proto-noir influencing the genre's shift toward psychological depth and stylistic flair in films like the 1931 The Public Enemy.^[21] Its unapologetic portrayal of criminal ambition, absent overt moralizing beyond mandated disclaimers, marked a high-water mark for pre-Code Hollywood's defiance of censorship, paving the way for stricter industry self-regulation.^[22]^[23]

Scarface (1983 film)

Scarface is a 1983 American crime drama film directed by Brian De Palma and written by Oliver Stone, loosely adapting elements from the 1932 film of the same name and its source novel by Armitage Trail.^[1] The story follows Tony Montana (Al Pacino), a fierce Cuban refugee who arrives in Miami amid the 1980 Mariel boatlift, secures a green card by assassinating a former Cuban official, and rapidly ascends to dominance in the cocaine trade through ruthless ambition, betrayal, and violence.^[26] Supporting roles include Steven Bauer as Montana's loyal friend Manny Ribera, Michelle Pfeiffer as his cocaine-addicted wife Elvira Hancock, and Paul Shenar as the Bolivian drug lord Alejandro Sosa.^[27] The film runs 170 minutes and earned an R rating for its graphic depictions of drug use, profanity exceeding 200 instances of the word "fuck," and intense bloodshed, including a notorious chainsaw massacre scene. Produced by Martin Bregman with a budget estimated at $25 million, the project originated when Bregman sought to remake the 1932 Scarface after Al Pacino expressed interest post-Serpico.^[28] Initial director Sidney Lumet was replaced by De Palma, who commissioned Stone's screenplay amid the screenwriter's immersion in Miami's 1980s cocaine underworld for authenticity—research that nearly led to Stone's demise when mistaken for an informant.^[29] Principal photography occurred from November 1982 to May 1983, primarily in Miami and Los Angeles, with De Palma employing operatic visuals, long takes, and Giorgio Moroder's synth-heavy score to underscore themes of unchecked greed and moral decay.^[30] Tensions arose during production, including De Palma barring Stone from the set after disputes over script adherence and on-set safety.^[29] The film premiered in New York City on December 1, 1983, and entered wide release on December 9 via Universal Pictures.^[31] Upon release, Scarface grossed $45.2 million domestically and $65.7 million worldwide, recouping its costs despite an X rating threat from the MPAA over violence, which was edited to secure an R.^[5] Critics initially panned it for excess—Pauline Kael called it "cadaverous," and some Miami Cuban exiles protested its negative immigrant stereotypes—yielding mixed reviews and no Oscar nods.^[2] It garnered Golden Globe nominations for Pacino in drama acting, Bauer in supporting, and Moroder's score, but won none.^[6] Over time, reevaluations highlighted Pacino's hyperbolic performance as a cautionary archetype of hubris, with Roger Ebert later awarding four stars for its mythic rise-and-fall narrative mirroring American excess.^[2] The film's legacy endures as a cult phenomenon, profoundly shaping hip-hop aesthetics—rappers like Jay-Z and Nas referenced its "world is yours" ethos and Montana's globe-holding statue—while influencing video games like Scarface: The World Is Yours (2006) and fashion trends emulating its ostentatious style.^[7] Despite glamorization critiques, its portrayal of cocaine-fueled paranoia and familial destruction aligns with real 1980s Miami cartel violence, cementing Scarface as a visceral document of ambition's perils rather than endorsement.^[8] Pacino's iconic lines, such as "Say hello to my little friend," persist in pop culture, underscoring the film's transition from box-office controversy to enduring cinematic touchstone.^[32]

Scarface (upcoming remake)

A new adaptation of Scarface is in early development as of August 2025, with actor Danny Ramirez attached to star as the titular character and co-produce via his newly launched company Pinstripes, alongside producer Tom Culliver.^[33]^[34] The project aims to modernize the story from Armitage Trail's 1930 novel, diverging from direct remakes of the 1932 or 1983 films by reinterpreting the original gangster narrative for contemporary audiences.^[35]^[36] Ramirez, known for roles in Top Gun: Maverick (2022) and Marvel Cinematic Universe projects like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021), emphasized the story's relevance in 2025 amid ongoing discussions of immigration and the American Dream.^[37]^[38] The production has begun meeting with writers to develop a script, but no director has been confirmed, and additional casting remains unannounced.^[34] No release date or studio distribution has been set, positioning it as an independent endeavor distinct from Universal Pictures' long-stalled remake efforts, which last saw significant movement in 2020 with director Luca Guadagnino attached before stalling.^[39]^[40] This latest iteration highlights Ramirez's Latino heritage, aligning with the novel's Chicago-based tale of an ambitious immigrant criminal, though specifics on setting or plot deviations are not yet public.^[38]

Music

Scarface (rapper)

Brad Terrence Jordan, known professionally as Scarface, was born on November 9, 1970, in Houston, Texas.^[41] Raised in the South Acres neighborhood, he emerged as a key figure in the development of Southern hip-hop during the late 1980s.^[42] Scarface joined the Houston-based group Geto Boys (originally Ghetto Boys) around 1989, contributing to their breakthrough with the 1990 album The Geto Boys, which featured the hit single "Mind Playing Tricks on Me" and helped establish gritty, narrative-driven Southern rap on a national scale.^[43] His tenure with the group, alongside members like Bushwick Bill and Willie D, spanned multiple albums and tours, solidifying Geto Boys' reputation for raw depictions of street life, mental health struggles, and urban violence, though the group effectively disbanded from new material after 2005's The Foundation.^[44] Scarface launched his solo career in 1991 with Mr. Scarface Is Back on Rap-A-Lot Records, followed by The World Is Yours in 1993, which peaked at number 9 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.^[45] His 1994 album The Diary marked a commercial peak, debuting at number 6 on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 118,000 copies and eventually selling over one million units, certified platinum by the RIAA for its introspective tracks like "I Seen a Man Die."^[46] Later releases included the platinum-certified The Untouchable (1997), which sold one million copies in the United States, and The Fix (2002), featuring collaborations with Jay-Z and Kanye West, debuting at number 4 on the Billboard 200 with over 160,000 first-week sales.^[47]^[48] Throughout his discography of 11 studio albums, Scarface emphasized psychological depth and storytelling, influencing Southern rap's shift toward emotional authenticity over mere bravado.^[49] As a producer and executive, Scarface co-founded Facemob and briefly served as president of Def Jam South in the early 2000s, mentoring acts like Ludacris and David Banner.^[50] His work has been credited with legitimizing Southern hip-hop's narrative style, drawing from personal experiences of trauma and resilience to craft vivid, character-driven lyrics that bridged regional sounds with broader hip-hop traditions.^[51] In recent years, Scarface has faced significant health challenges, including kidney failure from COVID-19 complications in 2020, leading to dialysis and a successful transplant from his son Christopher Jordan on September 15, 2021; he underwent open-heart surgery in August 2024 but reported recovery progress shortly after.^[52]^[53] Despite these setbacks, he continues to perform and advocate for Houston's rap legacy.^[54]

Video games

Scarface: The World Is Yours

Scarface: The World Is Yours is an open-world action-adventure video game developed by Radical Entertainment and published by Vivendi Games.^[55] It was released on October 8, 2006, for PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Microsoft Windows, followed by a Wii port on June 12, 2007.^[55] The game presents an alternate continuation of the 1983 film Scarface, with players controlling Tony Montana, who survives the assault on his mansion, escapes, and seeks to rebuild his criminal empire in a fictionalized Miami.^[56] Gameplay emphasizes empire management and third-person shooting in an open-world environment modeled after Grand Theft Auto-style mechanics. Players engage in missions involving drug trafficking, territorial control, and combat, while managing resources like reputation points—earned through mission completion, acquiring business fronts, and seizing rival storehouses—and a "gang heat" system that escalates law enforcement response based on criminal activities such as killing gang members or conducting drug runs.^[57]^[58] A core feature is the "balls" meter, which builds during precise, aggressive combat actions (e.g., targeting enemy head, shoulders, or groin) and triggers a temporary "rage mode" enhancing Tony's damage output and resilience.^[59] Drug earnings are classified as "dirty money," requiring laundering through fronts to convert into usable funds, adding a layer of economic strategy to the violence and vehicle commandeering (cars and boats).^[60] The game received generally favorable reviews, aggregating a Metacritic score of 75/100 across 46 critic evaluations for its console versions, with praise for immersive storytelling, authentic dialogue recapturing the film's tone, responsive controls relative to contemporaries, and player freedom in sandbox activities.^[61] Critics noted its effective extension of the Scarface license through narrative "what if" scenarios and addictive progression loops, though some highlighted repetitive mission structures and technical issues like dated graphics.^[62] In October 2025, an unauthorized PC re-release appeared on Steam and Epic Games Store under EC Digital, featuring optional AI-enhanced HD textures but lacking involvement from original rights holders, prompting removal amid scam suspicions.^[63]
