\nProducer Bregman offered relative newcomer Oliver Stone a chance to overhaul the screenplay, and Stone agreed to do the movie for two reasons. First, his 1981 film The Hand<\/a><\/em> had bombed at the box office, so he needed the work. He also wanted to work with Lumet, who eventually dropped out of the project because he felt Stone\u2019s screenplay became too over the top and too violent. De Palma, who had moved on to potentially direct Flashdance<\/a><\/em>, then read Stone\u2019s script and loved how exaggerated it was, so he dropped Flashdance <\/em>and rejoined Scarface<\/em>.<\/p>\n
\nHector, the Colombian gangster who threatens Tony with the chainsaw, refers to him as \u201ccara cicatriz,\u201d meaning \u201cscar face\u201d in Spanish.<\/p>\n
\nDe Palma and Spielberg had been friends since the two began making studio movies in the mid \u201870s, and they made a habit of visiting each other\u2019s sets. Spielberg was on hand for one of the days of shooting the Colombians\u2019 initial attack on Tony Montana\u2019s house at the end of the movie, so De Palma let Spielberg direct the low angle shot where the attackers first enter the house.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
