    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      During the scene where Tony and Elvira are sitting in the Cadillac at the car dealership, Al Pacino surreptitiously slips on the hat that Michelle Pfeiffer was wearing while she was looking away, which was not scripted. When she turns back and sees him wearing it, her amused reaction was genuine and to her credit, she stayed in character and ad-libbed a line. Brian De Palma decided to keep that unscripted exchange in the movie to show Elvira's gradual warming up to Montana.
    • Goofs
      Extras during the riot stop "rioting" before they are off-screen.
    • Quotes
      • Tony Montana: Say hello to my little friend!
    • Crazy credits
      We see a proverb at the beginning of the movie that says: "Enjoy yourself, every day above ground is a good day." ANONYMOUS, MIAMI 1981
    • Alternate versions
      To get a 16 rating in West Germany, most of the violence and profanity were toned down.
