10 Video Game Characters Stolen Straight From Hollywood
10. Vincente De Santa - Tony Montana (Scarface)
The perverse and sadistic Mexican army general from Red Dead Redemption is one of the more memorable characters in a game that's overflowing with them. The man is singularly driven to winning the war for Mexico, and seems to relish the fact that he needs to engage in some pretty inhuman activities to do it.
In terms of looks, voice, and hunger for power, De Santa is a spitting image of Al Pacino's Tony Montana - from the permanent scowl and those dark eyes that show little regard for humanity, to the distinctly thick black mop of hair both men sport.
The visual inspiration is evident, and so is the character to the extent that they're both megalomaniacal sociopaths. But there's little dispute that Tony - for all his foul-mouthed foibles - was way braver and more badass than his RDR doppelganger.
