About this deal

While Universal has managed to inject quite a bit of extra dynamic range into the synth score, there’s seldom much bass to speak of. Except for when Tony gets out his little friend, anyway... On the UHD, a 27-minute Tribeca conversation with De Palma, Pfeiffer, and Pacino discusses the production. That’s new. Also, the 1932 Scarface finally makes the jump to Blu-ray after years of being included as a DVD only. Note there’s also a collector’s set with a replica statue –“The World is Ours” piece outside Montana’s office – and it’s made of solid plastic. There’s weight to it. Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. SCARFACE 35TH ANNIVERSARY REUNION / THE SCARFACE PHENOMENON / THE WORLD OF TONY MONTANA / THE REBIRTH / THE ACTING / THE CREATING This inconsistency extends to the picture’s sharpness and detail, too. For while some sequences look spectacularly crisp and detailed, as noted previously, others - particularly exterior shots with lots of depth to them - can look rather soft. Especially around their edges.

Like Montana himself, Scarface is vicious, violent, and brutal. It’s famous for a liberal use of blood squibs. Famously, the bathroom chainsaw too, although that grotesque killing is implied rather than shown. The Rebirth discusses how the film brought to life a lost sub-genre, The Acting continuing although on a more self-explanatory path, and The Creating is the core making-of. Together, those three near the hour mark. A making-of for the video game version is clearly dated, but at least they brought it over. A funny look at the TV edits are here too. For added fun, U-Control offers a body and F-bomb counter, alongside picture-in-picture featurettes culled from the pieces above.The use of HDR is fairly limited - according to the metadata reader on my Panasonic UB820 4K Blu-ray player, the maximum frame average brightness level is just 155 nits (though somewhere in there is a peak light level of 1000 nits). In those outbursts, Scarface reacts. Montana is meant to be feared. So too are Cuban refugees. Scarface openly criticizes the broken system that lets a Tony Montana infect Miami. If not him, than any desperate American who feels owed their dream, and sees the out in a system openly inviting their want.

Wrapping things up are 22 minutes worth of excellent deleted scenes, a short but sweet clip giving you a taste of how the film was recut and dubbed for its TV debut, and a rather long-winded look at the making of the Scarface video game. Which, um, came out in 2006.I’m a bit torn on this one, unfortunately. There are some good aspects to the 4K transfer, but it certainly not up there with the very best 4K remasters we’ve seen.

Say hello to my little friend! In the spring of 1980, the port at Mariel Harbor was opened, and thousands set sail for the United States. They came in search of the American Dream. One of them found it on the sun-washed avenues of Miami. Wealth, power and passion beyond his wildest dreams. He was Tony Montana. The world will remember him by another name, Scarface. There are regular efforts to open the soundstage up with subtle ambient effects that at times wrap right around you in a surprisingly effective way. Even though you only occasionally (such as during the film’s climactic shootout) get that sense of a three-dimensional, object-filled audio space that’s associated with good modern DTS:X mixes.

Limited to just 3000 copies, this new 4K version also comes with the blu-ray included and has a rigid clamshell box with a magnectic closure. Opening frames, via news footage, follows a boat of Cubans headed to Florida. There’s an unidentified man on board with his son; that man points, and an edit cuts to the American flag. Everyone smiles. It’s serene. Then comes Tony Montana (Al Pacino). That means exceptional detail too, drawing textural qualities from Miami’s sights and dazzling via facial definition. Resolution produces firm, consistent sharpness. At home, Scarface never showed this degree of fidelity; the jump is substantial.
