10 Ridiculously Manly Movie Characters Who Drip Machismo

6. Al Pacino As Tony Montana - Scarface (1983)

No fictitious character in cinema could push the buttons of middle America quite like Tony Montana in Scarface. A criminal Cuban immigrant on a quest for the American dream, he uses his balls and his word to ascend the ranks in the drug trafficking world from a simple gun-for-hire to narcotic kingpin before ultimately crumbling and meeting his foreseeable end in an etched in your mind machine-gun-toting finale. The world of cinema had never seen anything like it previously and hasn't since. Nearly every word out of Tony€™s mouth is utterly terrorizing and iconic. Pacino has always been able to bring a certain fundamental rage to his characters, and Montana was perhaps his most capricious role ever. But at the end of the day, he was extremely relatable as a man driven to accomplish something in a world that's out to get him. Since Scarface was initially released, nearly every real and imagined drug kingpin has tried to follow Montana€™s path, but no one has come close to putting the complete package of fury, intimidation, and cool that Pacino brought to the role. You'll never see a bad guy like this again.
