** The film is extremely popular among a certain audience (gangsta rappers) who idolize Tony and seem to ignore all of his various, severe, and sometimes creepy, flaws or that his story ends with him, in more ways than one, falling from up high and dying in disgrace. There's even a [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0395694/ documentary short]] about its influence on hip-hop culture.
** It is very common to find copies of the film, posters, as well as tons of "bling", clothes, and personalized weapons based on or inspired by Tony Montana's tasteless excesses in the raided houses of many a ''narco'' cartel.
