MTV caught up with the real Tony Montana, actor Al Pacino on the red carpet for the Blu-Ray release of Scarface. Al thanked and credited the hip-hop community for the popularity of the film.

“The hip-hop people and the rappers got together and they made a video and they talked about the movie. I don’t think anybody’s ever talked about it as articulately and clearly. I understood it better having heard them talk about it. I mean, they really get it and they understand it, and that’s a great thing. They’ve been very supportive all these years. I think they’ve helped us tremendously.”
