The term "Scarface" at first showed up as a nick name for Al Capone, infamous prohibition gangster. It was used originally as a movie title in 1932 which was loosely based on Al Capone's character. The movie was considered an instant hit back in 1932. In 1983 there was another "Scarface" movie made which was a remake of the 1932 original except in the 1983 version depicts a Cuban Refugee from the Mariel boat lift. This version was critically panned but nevertheless spectacular. As the years passed by, the 1983 version of the movie Scarface found a cult following. It is now considered a successful movie and usually compared to The Godfather movies, which both feature Al Pacino.
Today the name is used by rapper Brad Jordan, member of the Geto Boys. Subsequently the 1983 movie has also inspired many rappers, rap songs, TV shows, and a Playstation game. Many quotes are also used in mass media today, notably the ending and the dinner scene.

1) Nickname of Al Capone.
2) Film made in 1932 based on the life of Al Capone, starring Paul Muni as Antonio "Tony" Camote, directed by Howard Hawks and produced by Howard Hughes.
3) Remake of the original movie "Scarface" of 1932, made in 1983 with what was a modern day setting (Early 1980s), based on the Mariel Harbor Boatlift and "The Cocaine Wars" (mentioned once in "Time Magazine"), starring Al Pacino as Antonio "Tony" Montana, and directed by Brian De Palma. Usually considered one of the greatest movies, but was underrated when it came out. Now is considered a classic and possibly overrated.
