Scott Hall so blatantly copied Al Pacino's Tony Montana character from Scarface that his catchprase even tore two iconic quotes from the script and mashed them into his own unforgettable, "Say hello to the bad guy."

Razor's pre-debut vignettes essentially tried their damnedest to capture the mood and tone of Scarface, featuring the Cuban American wheeler-dealer cruising around Miami like he owned the place, evoking a distinct Scarface vibe.

Razor basically got away with it because he had a great look and the more child-friendly nature of WWE meant that he wasn't doing lines of coke and exploding his enemies with grenade launchers.

Hilariously, apparently neither Vince McMahon nor Pat Patterson were aware of Scarface when Hall pitched the character to them, and believed it to be solely his own creation.

Still, with WWE's history of drawing influence from the movies, it's hard to imagine them much caring.
