Colombia. Tony hates Colombians. This scene is one of the most intense scenes in any movie. The Colombians take the chain saw to Angel's (Tony's partner) head!
Most use of the F word. That word was used a record number of times. A record since broken by 'Goodfellows' and others. 42 people were killed, I'm sure your average war movie surpasses that. The movie runs 170 minutes. I don't know about the biggest snort, but he does a huge one near the end of the movie, before Sosa's men start invading the compound.

|
Don't underestimate the OTHER GUY'S greed. I don't think Tony follows the rule about getting high on his own supply... TONY once said to Manny (Referring to his sister), "You stay away from here, she's not for you!" SOSA told Tony, "Don't you ever (cheat) me."

| In return for helping Sosa and Alberto with the assasination attempt on the reporter, what will Tony get relative to his legal troubles? | 'Scarface' Trivia
|
No jail time.. No jail time was very important to Tony. Sosa has a partner from Washington D.C. who can keep him out of jail, but Tony will still have to pay some back taxes and a huge fine.
| Sosa wants Tony to help in the assasination of a reporter right before that reporter is to meet with who? | 'Scarface' Trivia
|
The United Nations. They were to blow up his car as he turned into the driveway. Tony wouldn't allow it because the guy's two children would also be killed. It was surprising that the ruthless Tony Montana had a soft side to him.
robe . Manny and Gina had just gotten married. I couldn't believe Tony killed his best friend who had just married his sister! Well, so much for Tony having a soft side!
| Near the end of the movie, Tony's about to be ambushed in his office when he pulls out an automatic rifle with a grenade launcher and yells what classic line? | 'Scarface' Trivia
|
"Say hello to my little friend!". Pacino at his best! One of my favorite parts of the movie.
a hair salon. They show Gina cutting the ceremonial ribbon.
| What does Manny do to a bikini-clad woman that gets him slapped while Tony and a little boy look on? | 'Scarface' Trivia

His Mother. His momma met with Tony and told him the address where she had seen Gina go. As he leaves, Momma says, "Why must you destroy everything you touch?!"
| What happened that finally got Elvira to go with Tony as his girlfriend? | 'Scarface' Trivia
|
Frank Lopez was killed.. Elvira would barely look at Tony at the beginning of the movie, but his persistence paid off. (It didn't hurt that Frank was now dead and Tony was the next big honcho of the whole organization...)
| This version of "Scarface" is actually a remake of a black and white film of the same title from probably over 50 years ago. What similarities does that original film NOT have with the recent one? | 'Scarface' Trivia
|
Cocaine is their main commodity.. I stumbled onto this older version when I saw "Scarface" in the TV Guide and sat down expecting to enjoy one of my favorite movies. The similarities were very interesting.
The world is yours. You see this same phrase again on a big globe sculpture in the fountain that Tony falls into at the end of the movie.
Miami. I think the entire movie takes place there, except when Tony goes to Bolivia to meet with Sosa, and to New York to try to kill a reporter.
| What's the name of the nightclub at which Frank Lopez liked to hang out? | 'Scarface' Trivia
|
The Babylon. Frank: "Let's go to The Babylon" Elvira: "You know if someone wanted to assassinate you, you wouldn't be hard to find."
Green Card. Lopez wanted revenge on the former Cuban politician. Tony: "I'd kill a communist for fun. For a green card, I'm gonna carve him up real good."

|
He served in the army in Cuba.. We learn later in the film that Tony HAS been in jail, and that his mother is still alive. His claim about having served in the army, though, seems to be legitimate -- that's where he and Manolo learned how to use machine guns, if nothing else.
