Although Al Pacino's mobster is named Tony Montana in Scarface, he is based on what Chicago bigwig?
Answer Al Capone
Scarface sees a gangster rise through the ranks of the Chicago mafia. Based on the most notorious American mobster, Al Capone did, in fact, have a scar on his face, which he received in a bar fight. He was given the nickname "Scarface" by the press – a name he didn't particularly like.
