SCARFACE Filming Locations - All Los Angeles Locations - Then & Now - 1983 - 80slife - Al Pacino

[@992turbos]

One of the best from the 80’s. The vibe this movie gives me is unlike any other. The soundtrack is also 10/10.

This and then Miami Vice, which was like a continuation of this movie.

[@gmln9ne]

You’ve taught me so much! I can’t even drive through the valley or LA without informing my passengers all the history. I pass the karate kid apartment almost everyday and peoples minds are blown when I show them! Can Am studio is another favorite. & that Suzuki of yours 🔥 👌

[@aife200179]

I live next to the house where Fast and furious was filmed in LA 👌🏼💯

[@kevinreyes4523]

It's mind blowing to know that the little Havana sandwich spot was in little Tokyo.

[@Czechbound]

Another GREAT run-through the LA locations. It's great too that you give the addresses on-screen. If you had 80's life merch, I'd buy one, and I'm living all the way here in Prague, CZ !

[@karltodd]

As a 6-yr-old that watched it back in 83, to watching it now even at 45, this is one of my most loved films. You've been brilliant at putting this video up with the locations in the movie. Tremendous!! From Goa, India🇮🇳

[@jimbotron70]

Surely an appropriate movie for a 6yo...

[@angusorvid8840]

Absolutely great, great, great video! Thanks for making it. I grew up in L.A./Santa Monica and was a fan of Scarface since seeing it in a theater for the first time around Christmas of '83. I recognized many locations right away and through the years it's been a hobby of mine to find out everything I can about the making of this masterpiece. Many of the Miami exteriors in Scarface were filmed on location, but so many more exteriors and interiors were filmed in L.A., with the exception of the New York scenes. I used to go by the "Montana Management Company" quite often when I hung out in Hollywood in the 80s and 90s and I'd always point this out to friends. Building does indeed look identical. I used to think perhaps that part of the chainsaw scene was filmed on Ocean Ave in Santa Monica, but it was Ocean Ave in Miami, which is at sea level unlike Ocean in Santa Monica which is elevated. But it had a very similar look in those days with lots of cheap hotels and similar architecture. The Cuban community was very angry at DePalma because they thought the film was sponsored by some pro-Castro conspiracy to make Cuban Americans look bad, which is ridiculous, so they got chased out of Miami and went full bore on filming in L.A.

[@80sLife]

Thank you so much!

[@ericestrada2634]

I'm grateful to have been even a 78 newborn to have remembered a got a vibe of the 80s. My pops always had older friends so that was cool it have stayed with me

[@formyfour92]

Me too

[@marl0nbrand01]

Duuuude! Thank you so much for the effort. This was so rad to watch as an L.A native and die hard Scarface fan! Seen the movie over and over and the only spot I knew about was the Lopez Motors dealer location. Keep these coming! Subscribed.

[@toycartel.]

finally a good scarface filming location video. great job.

[@jaseys]

Thanks so much for the video!!! I just saw SCARFACE 40th Anniversary showing in the theater the other night and have been looking up things since. Too bad Tony’s Mom’s house looks to be not around anymore, hopefully whoever got displaced was well compensated. That shot in the movie is absolutely beautiful, perfect time of night, with incredibly vivid color. Would love to know who owns the mansion, and Manny’s house still looks great. LA looks great on a clear sunny day, maybe it’s always like that? I’d love to see it “personally” (Omar voice) one day.

[@MrRonDear]

Very nice post. It’s really cool to actually see the locations after all this time. This movie still ranks as one of my all time favorites. Great job..

[@comment5398]

I love these videos. Sometimes kinda eerie to see these structures still around today but sad in a way also. All the history just standing the test of time. Time goes on and leaves pieces of history in path. When you see these places in reality, it shows how magical the movie making process is.

[@80sLife]

I agree. Thank you for watching

[@erebus79]

Powerful propaganda tools

[@chatrkat]

I enjoyed watching this. Scarface is still one of my favorites. Thank you all the great then & now comparisons. Now I want to watch the movie again!

[@respecttheface7152]

This movie still holds up.

That’s a funny statement. You say it as if movies get BETTER over time.. Never again will anything “hold up” like this does Sad

the 80's were a wonderful time.....only then could we get an Italian playing a Cuban lolz then again in 1990 we got a Brit and a Mexican playing Italian brothers.....seriously not making that up lolz Super Mario Bros the movie but really jokes aside, the 80's were the best cus we had so many great movies and the music was fantastic and the women were hot as hell.... very masculine rock bands came out in leopard print suits and pink leather and all sorts of crazy outfits and got more poontang than any of us that's for sure lolz gods i love the 80's, best decade ever!

[@matthewchance8835]

When you were showing where Manny's house was located in Santa Barbara That man was checking you out while you were filming I'm pretty sure that girl who opened the front door told him you were filming outside their house I tripped out on that one. Great video, my friend.

[@nikkisixx6042]

Mannys house wasn't located in Santa Barbara it was located in Los Angeles, Sosa's house was located in Santa Barbara

[@dgstudi0s159]

It was the ghost of Manny

[@BJ_D]

Glad someone finally found that house. One of my favorite past times is finding filming locations and Manny's house was one that people had trouble finding for the longest time.

[@LaiaBertran]

One of my favorite movies. Thank you, this made me so nostalgic. Miss the vibe of the 80s

[@tommyvercetti7180]

Love this movie and channel! Most underrated on a all of KZbin

[@nikkisixx6042]

Great video I can see why they picked Santa Barbara location for Sosa's mansion it's a wealthy city with that Spanish style houses.

[@chadmiller8725]

One of my favorite movies of all time and I am 57. I saw it in Mesquite, TX the Friday it was released 1983. Then recorded it on HBO to 2 VHS tapes that I literally wore out. Then Was given a collectible double VHS collection. When DVDs came out I couldn't resist and purchased the 'Platinum Edition' with the extras. Had two full length posters of the famous black and white cover of Tony and the other of him firing the mocked up AR-15 (to look like an M16) w/ grenade launcher during his famous "Little Friend" line. Those posters were always a killer conversation starter in my man cave... long gone now unfortunately. Sorry for the long comment, but great video and it brought out some great emotional memories!!

[@80sLife]

That's awesome. Thank you for sharing. And thank you for watching.

[@rumbaut17]

Great video, thank you for taking your time to show us most of the locations.

[@angelthman1659]

Great video, thanks! There's several videos about the Miami locations, but this is the only one I found about the LA locations. I saw the movie tonight and was curious about what scenes were filmed in California.

Fun Fact The final scene where the hit squad comes to kill Tony was guest directed by Steven Spielberg

[@Puxi]

Nope, it was directed by Dan and Sam Houser, because Vice City had a large influence on Scarface.

Great to see you back on miss your videos #more locations

[@hiphoprbloverjon9180]

I think the majority of movies in history have been filmed in LA to a certain degree even if the story isn't based in LA solely. Whether it be on location throughout the city or inside a studio like we see here.

[@Mr__Singularity]

you mean majority of American movies, certainly not "majority of movies in history" :)

[@ericestrada2634]

But other than studio or CGI it's too expensive now

[@markhemming318]

[@evj808]

I was on a flight from Houston to New York in 2002 and sat next to Chi-Chi (Angel Salazar). We talked for a while and he explained that most of the movie was filmed in L.A….and yes, the interior of “Tony’s” house was a studio. Cool vid.✌🏼

[@SergioArellano-yd7ik]

They got kicked out of Miami. The local Cubans were offended by the portrayal of Cubans as criminals. They wanted Tony to be an anti Communist patriotic that wants to assassinate Castro

[@urrrccckostan]

I worked on the Universal lot at the Shoah Foundation 20 years ago. I always walked in through that gate you show. I had no idea Tony Montana’s mansion was shot in Stage 12! Oh yeah, I just remembered I met De Palma while working at Virgin Megastore. He stands out in my memory as the second rudest celebrity customer. (We didn’t have the letterbox The Sound of Music vhs and he had a hissy fit, haha!)
