Al Pacino’s Scarface was originally X-rated, and director Brian De Palma wasn’t happy.
Brian De Palma's Scarface is as unapologetic as it gets and has grown to be one of the most iconic and over-referenced mobster flicks in film history. With a narrative focusing on drugs, violence, and the tempting life of crime, it was expected to receive some form of regulation from the film censorship authorities. However, it was initially slapped with an X-rating, a classification usually reserved for pornographic films.
Both of them may have their own versions, but what is undisputed is that Bregman approached Oliver Stone to write the script for the film. Stone, who was hooked on cocaine for about two and a half years before writing the film, used the screenplay as revenge against his addiction. He knew the world of using the drug, and he finished a script that was full of excitement, panache, and violence as only Oliver Stone can. Unfortunately, Lumet and Stone butted heads, and Lumet left the production.
Bregman didn't budge, and should these changes be forced onto the film, they will be taking production out of Miami. Eventually, the governor of Florida, Bob Graham, took the side of the production team, claiming that in order for the state of Florida to be taken seriously as a place for movie production, they should not infringe on their artistic liberties.
