Plot
Summary |
Al Pacino stars as Tony Montana, an exiled
Cuban criminal who goes to work for Miami drug
lord Robert Loggia. Montana rises to the top of
Florida's crime chain, appropriating Loggia's
cokehead mistress (Michelle Pfeiffer) in the process.
Howard Hawks' "X Marks the Spot" motif
in depicting the story line's many murders is
dispensed with in the 1983 Scarface; instead,
we are inundated with blood by the bucketful,
especially in the now-infamous buzz saw scene.
One carry-over from the original Scarface is Tony
Montana's incestuous yearnings for his sister
Gina (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio). The screenplay
for the 1983 Scarface was written by Oliver Stone. |
