From Scarface, directed by Brian De Palma
Nominated by John Brann.

Tony Montana has become an American icon to guys everywhere after appearing in Scarface. He holds the characteristics that every man desires. Montana is tough, fearless, courageous, power hungry and doesn't care what anyone else thinks.

 

Never backing down, Montana rose to the top in the drug distributing business. In an epic moment in movie history, Montana is shot multiple times while warding off enemies who eventually cause his demise.

This revolutionary movie has made every male try to emulate the rough personality of Montana. It can be argued that Montana was a bad influence on men, that he caused many fights and crimes because of his fearless attitude. Even if this be the case, Tony Montana has toughened American society to a point that is unparalleled.
