Shakespeare’s plays are more violent than Scarface, said Al Pacino in an interview. The more popular a character is, the lesser known are the facts behind it. One such character is Tony Montana, who became a heroic figure overnight, has nothing but his only superpower; his confidence. The movie will be completing 35 years in few months yet fans aren’t over their favorite dialogues as it is said to be one of the most relevant movies about the mob world; depicting the existence of gangsters and how a unique culture started in those times.

Other than what is generally known, there’s so much about Scarface that you probably didn’t know and now as you’ll go through each slide you’ll get more indulged with everything about this cult classic.

Ironically Shy 

I’m so shy now I wear sunglasses everywhere I go. Who would believe that these words are from one of the most iconic actors in the worldwide history of cinema and is among the 23 actors who have received The Triple Crown of Acting; Oscar, Emmy, and Tony.

Al Pacino has spoken of his shy nature from time to time, however, the irony is that his universally adored movies are like Godfather and Scarface, where he played bold gangster roles. My first language was shy. It’s only by having been thrust into the limelight that I have learned to cope with my shyness, the actor tells and we are so overwhelmed that he brings out this opposite side of him through his characters. 

Mixed Critics

You’ll find it hilarious that almost every classic movie that possibly could be on your favorite list has received equally bad reviews as good, just for example, Fight Club, Psycho, Godzilla, Titanic, Pulp Fiction, The Hunger Games, The Mask and the list can continue with many more movies that received mixed reviews and same is the case with Scarface, the only difference is, initially, the movie received majority of bad reviews, however, fans considered it to be an epic.
