I anticipated a Sunday mornin Scarface. Not exactly traditional Sunday morn fare but lesgoooo

JediLounger

What I figured it would be today. This used to be my favorite Pacino movie when I was in my 20's and early 30's, especially given how GTA: Vice City is modeled after it. As I got older though I think my favorite one is Scent of a Woman (1992). Also, Simone you pulled a hell of a game face on the YouTube thumbnail lol. Edit: Simone I hope your meeting went well. Onward and upward! Second Edit: If you guys check out True Romance (1993) you might wake up and think about Christopher Walken too. lol. Third Edit: For another type of take on a similar story as this, check out Carlito’s Way (1993), also from Brian DePalma and Al Pacino. I sorta view it as the other side of the coin to Scarface.

im gonna guess that THIS was the 5 hour long movie they talked about hahaha, and that it was hyperbole for "long ass movie"

8bitAndy

Scent of a Woman is a great movie. I think it's the only role Pacino won an Oscar for. Would be a good one to react to for sure.

PIG

Beetle juice and Scarface. Nice treat!

Odd Thomas

Drugs. Mafia. Guns. I'm going to guess it has a happy ending.

Al Pacinos most Iconic role, let's go!!!

PIG

F Murray Abraham played the goon hung from the helicopter, Omar. He was also in "Amadeus" 1984 and he's great. I would love if you put that in the next poll!!

I saw this movie in 1986 with my father, when I was 17 years old. We loved the movie, but that chain saw scene, and the scene when his sister gets killed haunted me for years.

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff

You know I was waiting for this one! It's just that this movie is referenced in so many movies and shows, not always directly but it influenced a lot of things, not to mention actual people. It's ultimately a tragedy, but every gangster or gangster wannabe I've ever known idolized Tony Montana, for his fearlessness and ruthless ambition, and like Omar said, every man gotta have a code, and he's not a good guy but he does have a code (although he should've paid more heed to lesson number two lol). They always love Scarface and Goodfellas. But I once met a dealer who'd edited his own version of Goodfellas so that it just ends when Henry gets arrested by the DEA, because he refused to watch the part when he becomes a snitch. Which is another reason Tony Montana is so revered by gangster types, they love that he went out shooting, it's that outlaw fantasy. You heard it referenced by Jesse in Breaking Bad, but heads up, you're going to see a few actors from this movie in the show, and Better Call Saul, if and when you watch that. I also remember Snoop in The Wire once wearing a Scarface T-shirt. And Jim Carrey did the "Say hello to my stinky friend" joke in Ace Ventura, along with so many other references to that line it would be a feat to count them all. As far as the accents, Steven Bauer, "Manny", is half Cuban and fluent in Spanish, he helped coach Pacino with the Cuban accent, although he honestly does a terrible Mexican accent in Breaking Bad. If you're interested there's a really cool, well made documentary called Cocaine Cowboys about this era of the drug trade and Miami, they talk to a lot of the people who were there, the dealers, cops, smugglers, and hit men, and they have some wild stories, apparently the Miami you see today was built by drug money. Another Brian DePalma movie you guys gotta check out is The Untouchables, with Robert De Niro playing the other Scarface, it's not as iconic a movie but it is really good.

Hans Olav Sletnes

If you like Scarface, delving into Carlito's Way is a must, as it serves as a more mature, thoughtful companion piece to the former. Essentially, Carlito epitomizes a seasoned, wiser iteration of Montana, earnestly striving to evade trouble, but trouble has way of finding him. Scarface is more raw and shocking, but Carlito's Way has better character depth and story imo.

djKENTO

more Brian De Palma please?! Blow Out next!

King_Panarisi

The weird looking car is a Citroën DS. It's a French car from the 50's and a very well known car in Europe. DS is a wordplay for the french word Déesse wich means godess.

Dioskur

Yeah, "hit the beard": "hit" like killing and "beared" for Castro. The german translation for that phrase sounded so strange that me and my friends never knew what they were saying there

Odd Thomas

For more Brian De Palma: Carrie Snake Eyes Blow Out The Fury The Untouchables

Odd Thomas

A great Michelle Pfeiffer movie: Stardust

Dioskur

About the way cocain and the business is presented in the movie: -today 1kg of cocain is like 50k€, no clue about the 80s -cocain is a very good painkiller and it gives you a feeling of increased power, so one might think that last scene makes some sense, at least in an exaggerated way. But as far as I know the effect of reducing pain is mostly local, so Tony wouldnt feel if he got injured in the face, but hits to the body he should very well feel. But he was snorting so much that his brain was most likely on its way out anyway, so who knows? But: destroyed muscles don't start working again just because you don't feel pain -very pure cocain isn't as taxic as you might think, street cocain is very toxic because it reacts terrible when mixed. The stuff Tony uses would be very clean -Cocain became popular in the USA in the 70s. This movie starts 1980, so the market was still being established. Soza says he got the production but he needs a good partner. This fits the time frame. They more or less conquered the whole market. Remember that Sozas partners were generals and such, he likely had little to no competition in Bolivia. Please correct me if I am wrong but I think the movie, as over the top as it is, doesn't go to far into the realm of fiction

Young Blood Priest

I don’t think you’re wrong. I was a teenager during this time. From the news reports I remember and the documentaries I’ve watched since, the violence was spot on. They were even finding dismembered bodies around Miami too.

DeAndrew Greene

It's funny seeing your guys reaction because honestly I kinda got where Tony was coming from the entire movie even him killing his best friend. If I give you one rule and you break it AND on top of that you bring me a deal that gets me thrown in prison AND when I leave you in charge you disappear....I feel like these are grounds for termination so to speak lol. Like he's not a good person but his choices aren't random acts of violence.

Keerit Thind

Carlito's Way is a phemonomal juxtiposition of Scarface 10 years later. Same producing team with De Palma and Pacino. My favourite Sean Penn performance, with great bit parts from Viggo Mortensen, John Leguizamo, and Luis Guzman.

jeeeesus christ. why in the actual fuck would you ever think a comment like this is a good idea. like what are you expecting to happen or for people to say? and did you for one second consider how awkward and just creepy it is to read this from G&S's point of view?

Sean K.

nice reaction

Paul G

George, I'm going to recommend Chef again based on your interest in good Cuban food!

Tenn Seven

That scary butler guy with the phone when they were in Bolivia is a main character in some of the later episodes of Breaking Bad you'll be getting into!

DeAndrew Greene

I think something else that's interesting about this story is that Tony's ending happens not because of poor decisions (outside of becoming a drug dealer lol) but it happens because he refused to follow orders that were in conflict with his moral code. Like he's a very interesting character.

djKENTO

Every time I think “yeah sure I’ll give this one another shot” I find myself bored and annoyed at every single character. This movie is just not for me… like most movies Oliver Stone has a hand in. I love most of Brian De Palma’s work… but I just find this movie obnoxious. Hope everyone else had a great time with it tho. The reaction made the movie more enjoyable for me…

Tim T—

Almost every viewing either Simone or George says something so outlandish, so strange, that I sit there bewildered. How can one not know the DS? Utterly perplexing. Then I remember that they seem to be rather young, which would make me (early) middle-aged. Whelp.

Tim T—

If you still have a taste for the great Mafia/Organised Crime Movies: Casino (1995)

akaTheBARON

🖤I wonder how often George thinks about the Roman Vampire. I know he's into Greek Mythology, but I know in general the Roman Vampire is something a lot of guys think about fairly regularly these days XD.

China Andronicus

Is it not normal for one to think of Christopher Walken first thing in the morning? I must be doing something wrong.... As always, a brilliant reaction. You two are always so fun to watch. Manny and Gina definitely didn't deserve to die but I never understand why Manny thought answering the door in such a state of undress was a good idea. He knew Tony's feelings on the matter. Better to let him know about the wedding first and then things would most likely have gone down very differently. Again, didn't deserve to die for it but it was still a dumb move. But no, I don't think there was anything romantic in Tony's feelings for Gina. I think she was just saying that because as she said, he was so protective that it's where her mind finally went, why don't you want anyone else to have me? For more amazing Pacino, I definitely recommend Scent of a Woman, if you haven't seen it. He won the Oscar for it and it's one of my favorites.

Monica Alarcon

Loooong (but enjoyable) movie for a sunday... I actually had to pause it a couple of times to help my sister move some furniture from her former office to her place and a while after that to have three tacos...

Monica Alarcon

Also wait... if you recorded this at 7:30 am then this couldn't be the 5 hour movie you mentioned in an earlier video (I thought George was exagerating the lenght a bit) so I wonder what could that be... is it the Justice League Snyder cut??? okay don't tell me, I wanna be surprised...

Nick Dewberry

dood u guys r been watching some BANGERS lets go

Haye Zeus

Pacino is my favorite actor. Even tho this movie is 3 hours long it’s so enjoyable all the way. Especially because of his performance. It’s not my personal fav but there’s a reason why it’s so iconic. He’s a powerhouse. My personal fav tho has to be Dog Day Afternoon. That’s a definite recommendation. One of the best movies of the 70’s and one of the greatest performances.

MikeBdrx

I’m still curious what the 5 hour movie is. I don’t think this was what he was talking about.

e4tless

Please put Oliver Stone’s “JFK” up for a vote! Such a great movie, especially with some of the recent assassination records that have been released.

Eddy V Ruiz II

My father went and got my grandmother during that event (Mariel). Miami at that time was chaos. I does bring back memories of my childhood, growing up in Miami at that time

Logan Kerlee

(I'm gonna post my response to the reaction in a comment because it's a book and I don't want it to take the entire screen on here. xD I wrote as I watched along. It's longwinded and probably a bit confusing if you're just reading without having watched the movie recently - but that's how I write my comments on here, so yeah, here goes nothing. :P

Logan Kerlee

I AM BEYOND WORDS STOKED TO SEE THIS REACTION ON HERE!! xD This movie is an all time favorite of mine. :D I'm looking forward to you both not liking this. xD Not because of the movie but because for some crazy reason ya'll chose to watch this at 7am! The music in this BOPS! I fucking love this movie so much. xD I'm prolly going to be going on and on like that throughout this. :P Back then, it wouldn't surprise me. I first watched this as a kid. I was probably 8 or 9 when I first watched this. Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too young, I know! xD I blame my brother. xD It was and still is one of his faves. He's a good bit older than I am, I've got no idea how old he was when he watched this. hahahaha, love how you're both taking the scene in the apartment near the start! "It's not called "No Face!" xD hahahaha, good times. Simone's face throughout is filled with nothing but disgust and horror while George is also shocked but replace horror with confusion at the end. The way the scene wrapped up has Simone iwth a look of shock but also a hint of sadness and maybe fear. xD Good times! Really? Never heard of yeyo before? lol, that's surprising. lmao, not that I knew it at all from my personal life but I've heard it in a few movies over the years. So you both know, coke's value to weed is very different - coke is a lot more expensive! lmao, GEORGE! He's not a vampire. xD The music in this movie is so flippin' awesome! xD lol, and Tony cannot dance. "The eyes Chico, they never lie." Tony is such a bad ass! He knows what's coming in his life. hahahaha, Chico is the best wingman! His tongue action is hilarious. Tony's sister is so beautiful! Their mother isn't wrong for reacting that way to her son but at the same time it's very sad for everyone involved. Tony's VERY protective with his sister. He's a father figure/brother with her. Looking after her and their mother, I mean. Good call George. lol, both of your reaction's to that were entertaining. xD Tony tries to remain loyal to Frank. He's doing his best to stay right with him. George's face lit up when Tony yelled "We're gonna bury those cockroaches!" Guessing that he recognized the line. Awesome that George is seeing some paraelels between this and The Godfather. lol, glad that Simone at least knew who Ricky Ricardo was. I was about to feel like a dinosaur! lmao, I love it too George! Cockaroach is so awesomoe. hahaha This movie does NOT fuck around and neither does Tony. lmao, I love Ernie so much! He very clearly shit himself, there. hahaha, good times. THIS MUSIC IS AWESOME!! xD hahahaha, each and everytime it's showcased I'm instantly bopping my head and having a great time! Tony got his tiger! <3 hahahaha, he loves that thing. :) lol, this near the top when it comes to how many times "fuck" is said. xD Al Pacino is a fanatastic actor! This is my favorite movie that he's been a part of. That dinner scene was unreal! All one super long take - it's crazy. lol, you thought that Tony would be alright with killing kids George?! No sir! Tony's not a kid killer! Glad you both know what's coming and can understand why it's happening. He warned him. He knew what would happen. It's heartbreaking that Tony killed his brother - but he knew what was going to happen. It's very sad/depressing way to go but it's expected. Tony's death that's coming up.. it's an entertaining death scene! That's something. lol, the scene with his sister though, that's pretty tragic. Nope, not a hallucination. lol, his end is pretty decisive. But yeah, cocaine's one helluva drug! Amazing comparison Simone! xD The family dynamic in this movie is VERY strong! I'm the type of person that's alright with Tony. I'm okay with how this all went down. Is it extreme? Is it too much? Yup on both counts. I still think it's alright though, when you picture it from his perspective at least. Manny was his brother - someone that Tony loved and trusted before anybody else. If anyone dared cross him they'd be dead, plain and simple. Nobody fucked with Manny and nobody fucked with Tony. lmao, earlier in the movie Tony explained to Manny that NOBODY fucks with his sister, Gina. Obviously he didn't take Tony seriously enough and that's why he died. All in all, I hope you both enjoyed the movie and can see why it's a favorite for some people, like me.

Logan Kerlee

I wasn't born yet in 1986, but I watched this as a kid and yeah - that scene was brutal. xD

REDR58

That's Mark Margolis who also appeared in an episode of Star Trek The Next Generation.

Some more crime/thriller/mobster movies for the list, (one or two I see are already mentioned above but I'll second them): In the Heat of the Night (1967) directed by Norman Jewison and starring Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger. A MUST watch. Fans of The Walking Dead will see Scott Wilson (Hershel Greene) making his movie debut here. The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) directed by Jewison and starring Steve McQueen. There was a remake of this in 1999 which is a bit slicker but the original is a better film. Bullitt (1968) directed by Peter Yates and starring McQueen again. Thief (1981) directed by Michael Mann and starring James Caan. Witness (1985) directed by Peter Weir and starring Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis. Also a very young Viggo Mortensen makes his film debut here. Untouchables (1987) also directed by Brian De Palma, with Kevin Costner, Robert De Niro and Sean Connery. New Jack City (1991) directed by Mario Van Peebles with Wesley Snipes, Chris Rock and Ice-T. Get Shorty (1995) directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and starring John Travolta and Gene Hackman. Cop Land (1997) directed by James Mangold and starring Sylvester Stallone, De Niro and Harvey Keitel. And one out of left field here, check out Colossal from 2016 with Anne Hathaway and a decidedly un-Ted Lasso-like Jason Sudeikis. It's a crazy monster movie/black comedy. And speaking of Greek characters as George was, do check out the classics Jason and the Argonauts (1963) directed by Don Chaffey and Clash of the Titans (1981) directed by Desmond Davis. Both movies have some really cool visual effects by the late, great Ray Harryhausen. They look a bit dated now, but are still a joy to watch and need to be seen.

Crunkljack

As much as I love this film, I like Carlito's Way more.

Brant

Definitely check out The Untouchables (1987), another fantastic crime film by the same director.

Gary Fixler

You guys have seen Scarface before. He was in Idiocracy. Texas rapper, Scarface, played Upgrayedd (the two D's are for a double-dose of pimpin'). You also heard him in the other Mike Judge film, Office Space, because he's friends with Mike Judge. In the opening scene, Michael Bolton (not that one) is rapping to Scarface's "No Tears" while stuck in traffic. Oh, and completely random aside, while I'm here, but Michael Bolton (that one) remade some Office Space scenes for Funny Or Die (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03lrL9CFWxM).

Philipp Roensch

A young Mark Margolis, as the "Alberto The Shadow", or "Bomb guy", you now have seen him in this and Ace Ventura, but his best performance you will see in Breaking Bad. Amazing actor! As is of course the great Al Pacino, forgot how much this movie slaps, so horrific, so unhinged. You also caught that right George, GTA Vice City is primarily inspired by this movie, the 80s vibes of course, but also missions, the big boss villa, all designed after Montana's Rise and Fall. There also is an Easter egg bloodied hotel room with chainsaw.

Chase Lonnergan

Can't forget that there was an entire radio station in GTAIII that was just the Scarface Sountrack. Flashback FM.

Brendan Rafferty

George, Several times in your commentary you talked about how Scarface and The Godfather came out around the same time. They came out 11 years apart… 1972 and 1983 🤦🏻‍♂️

Brendan Rafferty

DePalma’s 1983 Scarface is actually a remake of the 1932 film Scarface by Howard Hawks. There are many scenes that are direct tributes to the original

Dioskur

Wasn't Tony supposed to be in New York, still? Noone was able to reach Manny when they tried to, so he wasn't told what happened. He likely thought it was someone else

Dioskur

Yeah it is a great movie but it is highly polarising and I think it would trigger a flame war in the comments...

Naturekitty5309

I was waiting for your reaction to this one...and you did great. I can't watch this movie with wanting to play GTA Vice City.

David Lonewolf Wright

The music from the movie was a complete radio station in GTA 3. Speaking of games, they made a Scarface video game which was a GTA clone. It starts off as an alternate take on the ending where Tony makes it out and then has to rebuild and take his revenge. It had a "Balls" meter that filled up with every kill or crazy stunt... like driving super fast while going the wrong way with oncoming traffic. Once the meter filled up, you could trigger it and then you became invincible and your weapon had unlimited ammo and you didn't need to reload. I always got the incestuous vibes from Tony towards Gina. I am not sure if that was intentional. This movie was sort of a remake from a gangster movie made in the 1930's by the same name, they just modernized it and made it a different type of gangster movie. There is a documentary called Cocaine Cowboys which goes into the history of Miami during this period and I think half of the skyline was being funded with drug money that was flooding in that the big time organizations didn't know what to do with so they developed property and businesses sometimes as fronts and sometimes as legitimate enterprises. I think you guys should check it out.
