Scarface (1983 film)/Characters

Tony Montana (Al Pacino)
""You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, 'That's the bad guy'.""


 * Anti-Hero: Type V (film) --> Type IV (video game)
 * Anti-Villain: Type I
 * Ax Crazy: More and more so after he's addicted to his own supply.
 * Badass
 * The Berserker
 * Byronic Hero
 * Card-Carrying Villain
 * Despair Event Horizon - When Tony sees Manny and Gina together, Tony kills Manny in a fit of anger. The reason why it technically fits here instead of Moral Event Horizon is because during his Villainous Breakdown, he subliminally regrets acting on impulse like that. He truly cements it when one of Sosa's men kills Gina, culminating in an Anti-Heroic RROD.
 * Hair-Trigger Temper
 * Implacable Man
 * Jerkass: More so than his original counterpart. Towards everyone except his family, but still...
 * Large Ham

 * My Sister Is Off-Limits
 * Politically-Incorrect Villain: He doesn't like working alongside Colombians.
 * Sanity Slippage: He gets more crazier and unhinged after his coke addiction settles in.
 * Sir Swearsalot
 * Sociopathic Hero
 * Tragic Hero / Tragic Villain
 * Villain Protagonist
 * Villainous Breakdown: Very often due to his Hair-Trigger Temper, but the most prominent one would have to be in the finale.

Manny Ribera (Steven Bauer)

 * Fire-Forged Friends: Was in prison with Tony.
 * Deadpan Snarker

Gina Montana (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio)
""I know you did some bad things back then. In the Army, I know you got into some trouble.""


 * Break the Cutie
 * Broken Bird
 * Brother-Sister Incest: She spitefully tries to seduce Tony at the end and implies that Tony's incestuous love for her is the reason he tries to 'protect' her from other men.
 * Sanity Slippage

Frank Lopez (Robert Loggia)
""Lesson number one: Don't underestimate... the other guy's greed!""

 * Affably Evil: Thinks he's this.
 * Ain't Too Proud to Beg

 * Karma Houdini Warranty: While we don't see him get his comeuppance, the dialogue between Tony and him implies he'll get his soon. Since Tony killed Albert instead of letting him kill the reporter, his wife and kids, the reporter not only has more security; but is also able to make his speech which helped expose and eventually bring down Sosa's empire.
