leading the way.

5. Scarface was given an X Rating in North America three
times for extreme violence, frequent strong language, and
hard drug usage. The restrictive rating was more
associated with pornography at the time, and it both
limited the number of cinemas willing to screen such a film
and restricted promotional advertising, which would
potentially adversely affect any box office takings. An early
scene was singled out as the cause of the X rating, where
Montana's associate Angel is dismembered with a
chainsaw off screen.
