Scarface Movie Marquee Backpack
This Scarface backpack features an image of Tony Montana on the front of a heavy duty black nylon backpack.
Scarface was originally to be filmed in Florida but received criticism from the Cuban community who objected to various aspects of the film.
Community representatives were opposed to the depiction of Cubans as drug dealers and demanded that the script be changed to incorporate anti-Fidel Castro rhetoric (most notably, changing Tony Montana into a spy working for Fidel Castro and the introduction of anti-Castro political organizations into the plot as foils for Montana) into the film.
After protracted negotiations the producers ultimately refused to give in, saying the film was about cocaine and not the politics of Castro's Cuba.
In order to ensure the safety of the crew and to avoid confrontations - with the exception being obvious exterior shots - the movie was filmed in and around Los Angeles.
