so y'all really believe it was rappers... who barely existed in 1983 and definitely wasn't rapping about scarface back then in abundance... are the reason this movie is an INTERNATIONAL cult favorite.. and one of Al Pacino's most well known roles... an actor with over 50 roles and a dozen classics?
DO you understand what cult movie is? The movie was a BOMB when it was released and has only been resurrected in the early 1990s as a cult classic. Thus, it was initially ignored, but later, because its a batshyt crazy movie, people saw something in it years later and made it a cult classic. Nobody was checking for this shyt in '83, hence, it became a "cult" favorite.
And this movie is dumb and Pacino is only known for this role because its a fukking insane cartoon. Nothing else. The role is not "acclaimed" for being his best acting job because he overacted the fukk outta Tony. Tony is remembered because he's loud, crazy, and the rest of the movie is bland as eating a napkin.
