Scarface
Brian de Palma and Oliver Stone’s ultra-violent, over the top remake of the 1932 Howard Hawks classic moves the action to 1980s Miami and provoked a wave of negative reaction to its boisterous excesses. It had to be submitted three times to the MPAA before being cut to qualify for an R rating. Yet today it’s one of the most fervently admired of cult classics, particularly in hip hop circles. The network tv version removed 32 minutes of sex, violence and profanity, but added a number of scenes from the cutting room floor, many of which are included in the Blu-ray release.
