While filming the scene of the firefight, Al Pacino grabbed the barrel of the gun. Although only empty bullets were used, his hand was severely burned. The entire crew had to suspend work for several weeks.
The slogan on the blimp is the same as the slogan on a building in "Scarface".
The word "fuck" is used in the movie 218 times in total.
The Miami Tourism Board did not allow the film to be filmed in Miami because they were worried that it would affect people who travel here, especially when some Cuban immigrants who became robbers and drug dealers appeared in the film.
Oliver Stone wrote the script for the movie while he was fighting cocaine addiction.
Tony Montana's name comes from Oliver Stone's favorite football player Joe Montana.
Stephen Bauer is the only true Cuban on the list of the main actors in the movie.
Miriam Cologne, who plays Tony's mother, is actually only four years older than Al Pacino.
Although Tony Montana assumes that he is a Cuban, his mother tongue should be Spanish, but in the entire movie, he only speaks a word of Spanish.
