Antonio "Tony" Montana is a fictional character and the villain protagonist of the 1983 film Scarface. This character is portrayed by Al Pacino in the film and is voiced by André Sogliuzzo in the 2006 video game Scarface: The World Is Yours.
Personality… ambitious and hot-tempered, but not heartless. Tony is made up of extremes, but in his line of work, he needs to be. While he knows his live hard, die fast attitude can only end with his body in a coffin, Tony doesn't let it bother him too much. He lives in the moment, and that's what counts.
Tony did had his principles even though he was a drug lord. He has traits of an antihero. He was not necessarily evil because he has a good side too. But the bad things he has done probably doesn't balance the good in him.
Tony Montana in Scarface is an iconic character who ticks all the boxes of a classic anti-hero. Initially, he's the good guy, but he develops less than heroic traits throughout the film, as crime and drugs see him descend into a whirlwind of violence and greed.
Other than an unflinching, intense and extraordinary performance from Al Pacino as the Cuban-born gangster Tony Montana, this gruesome offering has little to recommend.
Summary. Gangster movies, like the original Scarface from 1932, often faced censorship and bans due to their violent content and portrayal of mafia life. Censors believed that Scarface glorified violence, leading to changes in the film's ending and the addition of a prologue condemning gangsters.

Antonio "Tony" Montana is a fictional character and the villain protagonist of the 1983 film Scarface. This character is portrayed by Al Pacino in the film and is voiced by André Sogliuzzo in the 2006 video game Scarface: The World Is Yours.
Montana is a Cuban immigrant to the United States. He has antisocial and narcissistic personality disorders and is a drug lord who ruthlessly uses violence to gain wealth. He creates many enemies and they come after him at his mansion, shooting him in the back and killing him.
At the end of the film Gina herself suggests Tony must indeed want her because he can't stand for another man to be with her. Tony has a genuine look of confusion on his face and even asks what she's talking about. Therefore he likely did not have sexual feelings towards her.
The movie ends with Tony's body floating in his pool next to a globe that reads "The World is Yours." It's an ironic statement because Tony never learned any lessons. Had he paid attention and got his ego under control, he would have had his wife, his friend, his sister, and even his mother.
Scarface is an unashamed 170-minute commercial for over-indulgence. Audiences, particularly in communities of color, are attracted to it because of Tony's excess and the unfiltered joy he takes in getting even with his enemies.
Tony then sees Gina in a night gown at the top of the stairs. Enraged that another man has obviously slept with his sister, Tony shoots Manny dead. Hysterical, Gina reveals to Tony that they had just been married and were going to surprise him.
Tony's incestuous protectiveness speeds his downfall. He murders Manny as a punishment. Gina is shot by Sosa's men. Montana loses the two most important people in his life, and his inability to control his lusts destroy them all.
Coming from Cuba to Miami as a refugee, ex-convict Tony Montana used his greed, desire, and ambition to build an empire that is estimated at $900 million.
A Cuban immigrant who enters into a life of crime as he seeks success in America, Antonio “Tony” Montana is known for his violence, cocaine habit, and for the movie's iconic final scene in which he wields an M16 assault rifle while shouting “Say hello to my little friend!”
He is greedy, bloodthirsty, uneducated and self consumed. Yet he is a role model to many people because he is in some way or another a rebel but probably most of all because he is a deluded gangster. A vigilante would be like Mother Tereasa next to Scarface.
“All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break them for nobody, you understand?” It is an outlaw ethos that has been echoed for the last 30 years by many an inspired male. Tony lets you know that even though he is a criminal, he is the type of criminal who does crime the right way.
Tony accepts the deal, but when it is time to act, he hesitates because the activist is with his wife and kids, and Tony might be a ruthless gangster, but he isn't without principles. This act of mercy lands him on Sosa's kill list, and he sends an army of hit squads to finish Tony.
9. Incest: Tony has serious incestuous feelings for his sister (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) in this version, a plot element you might assume to be the creation of De Palma and screenwriter Oliver Stone.
