    One of the best from the 80’s. The vibe this movie gives me is unlike any other. The soundtrack is also 10/10.

    Absolutely great, great, great video! Thanks for making it. I grew up in L.A./Santa Monica and was a fan of Scarface since seeing it in a theater for the first time around Christmas of '83. I recognized many locations right away and through the years it's been a hobby of mine to find out everything I can about the making of this masterpiece. Many of the Miami exteriors in Scarface were filmed on location, but so many more exteriors and interiors were filmed in L.A., with the exception of the New York scenes. I used to go by the "Montana Management Company" quite often when I hung out in Hollywood in the 80s and 90s and I'd always point this out to friends. Building does indeed look identical. I used to think perhaps that part of the chainsaw scene was filmed on Ocean Ave in Santa Monica, but it was Ocean Ave in Miami, which is at sea level unlike Ocean in Santa Monica which is elevated. But it had a very similar look in those days with lots of cheap hotels and similar architecture. The Cuban community was very angry at DePalma because they thought the film was sponsored by some pro-Castro conspiracy to make Cuban Americans look bad, which is ridiculous, so they got chased out of Miami and went full bore on filming in L.A.

    I love these videos. Sometimes kinda eerie to see these structures still around today but sad in a way also. All the history just standing the test of time. Time goes on and leaves pieces of history in path. When you see these places in reality, it shows how magical the movie making process is.

    Thanks so much for the video!!! I just saw SCARFACE 40th Anniversary showing in the theater the other night and have been looking up things since. Too bad Tony’s Mom’s house looks to be not around anymore, hopefully whoever got displaced was well compensated. That shot in the movie is absolutely beautiful, perfect time of night, with incredibly vivid color. Would love to know who owns the mansion, and Manny’s house still looks great. LA looks great on a clear sunny day, maybe it’s always like that? I’d love to see it “personally” (Omar voice) one day.

    One of my favorite movies of all time and I am 57. I saw it in Mesquite, TX the Friday it was released 1983. Then recorded it on HBO to 2 VHS tapes that I literally wore out. Then Was given a collectible double VHS collection. When DVDs came out I couldn't resist and purchased the 'Platinum Edition' with the extras. Had two full length posters of the famous black and white cover of Tony and the other of him firing the mocked up AR-15 (to look like an M16) w/ grenade launcher during his famous "Little Friend" line. Those posters were always a killer conversation starter in my man cave... long gone now unfortunately. Sorry for the long comment, but great video and it brought out some great emotional memories!!

      then again in 1990 we got a Brit and a Mexican playing Italian brothers.....seriously not making that up lolz Super Mario Bros the movie
      but really jokes aside, the 80's were the best cus we had so many great movies and the music was fantastic and the women were hot as hell....
      very masculine rock bands came out in leopard print suits and pink leather and all sorts of crazy outfits and got more poontang than any of us that's for sure lolz gods i love the 80's, best decade ever!

Oh yeah, I just remembered I met De Palma while working at Virgin Megastore. He stands out in my memory as the second rudest celebrity customer. (We didn’t have the letterbox The Sound of Music vhs and he had a hissy fit, haha!)
