Though Saddam Hussein frequently compared himself to the ancient Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar, there was another, more recent man of action the Iraqi dictator avidly admired. Saddam, it seems, was hugely fond of the gangster movie Scarface, even naming his main holding company Montana Management as a tribute to Al Pacino's psychotic crime-lord Tony Montana. While the Butcher of Baghdad's fondness for schlocky hyper-violent gangster films is never once mentioned in Saddam's Tribe, Scarface's shadow lurks over every frame.

Scarface was honored in the VSDA's Home Entertainment 2005 event at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Written by Oliver Stone and directed by Brian de Palma, "Scarface" is an updating of the 1932 gangster classic, "Scarface, The Shame Of The Nation." It follows Mariel boat lift refugee Tony Montana as his brains and guts raise him to the head of a drug cartel, and then as his vices ultimately bring him down. Described by one reviewer as "the most violent, thrilling, revolting, surprising, and gruesome gangster movie ever made," "Scarface" has been a popular video since its release on VHS in 1988. It was first released on DVD in 1998, and is currently available from Universal Studios Home Entertainment in several DVD editions.
