Tony Montana has become a cultural icon and one of the most recognized movie characters of all time, embodying the rise from the bottom to the top. Empire magazine voted Montana the 27th Greatest Movie Character in 2008. He is based in part on Tony Camonte, the protagonist of the original novel and the 1932 film adaptation; Camonte, in turn, was based on Tony Guarino from the 1929 novel, who was based on real-life Italian-American gangster Al Capone. Montana is a Cuban immigrant, as opposed to Guarino and Camonte, who were both Italian immigrants like Capone. Tony’s surname was inspired by former NFL quarterback Joe Montana, Stone’s favourite player, according to Oliver Stone. Scarface: The Beginning, a prequel novel created by L. A. Banks, was released in 2006. Montana is also known as Scarface because of a big scar on the side of his face.

Although Robert De Niro had been offered and turned down the role of Tony Montana, Pacino insisted on taking it. Pacino worked with knife combat experts, trainers, and boxer Roberto Durán to achieve the physique type he desired for the role. Durán also contributed to the creation of the character, who had “a certain lion in him,” according to Pacino. Pacino’s performance of Tony Montana was also influenced by Meryl Streep’s immigrant role in Sophie’s Choice (1982). Steven Bauer, his co-star, and a dialect coach assisted him in learning features of the Cuban dialect and pronunciation.
