Scarface Tony Montana Playing Cards (1 Pack of 52 Regulation cards)
Scarface held its premiere on December 1st, 1983 in New York City where it was initially greeted with mixed reaction.
Among those in attendance were the film's two stars, Al Pacino and Steven Bauer, as well as Burt and Diane Lane, Melanie Griffith, Raquel Welch, Joan Collins; her then-boyfriend Peter Holm and Eddie Murphy among others.
According to AMC's "DVD TV: Much More Movie" airing: Cher loved it, Lucille Ball, who came with her family, hated it because of the graphic violence and language, and Dustin Hoffman was said to have fallen asleep.
Writers Kurt Vonnegut and John Irving were among those who allegedly walked out in disgust after the notorious "chainsaw" scene.
At the middle of the film, Martin Scorsese turned behind to Steven Bauer and told him, "You guys are great - but be prepared, because they're going to hate it in Hollywood. . . because it's about them".
