In this sitdown, former Colombo family Capo Michael Franzese breaks down the 1983 classic Scarface starring Al Pacino. Michael separates Hollywood fiction from underworld facts, sharing incredible behind-the-scenes trivia about the film's production, the Mariel boatlift, and why the DEA had to step in to secure the movie's R-rating.
But this breakdown goes far beyond a standard movie review. Michael opens up about his own experiences operating during the 1980s drug boom, revealing the ingenious way he laundered millions of dollars through a secret bank basement in Long Island. Finally, in a deeply vulnerable moment, Michael compares Tony Montana's protective rage over his sister to his own family tragedy, sharing the dark truth about his sister's drug addiction and the severe retaliation he took against the dealers who supplied her.
