Title: True Romance vs Scarface which is better?
Post by: Spicemuthafuc*in1 on July 24, 2006, 10:15:16 PM
For all of you that have seen both movies which one do you prefer? Im sure most people will say scarface and these are my 2 favorite movies ever and I have to choose True Romance.  It just has a little more flavor and substance than scarface, it really is a perfect movie.  Im watching it right now!! ;D

Yeah man everyone tells me that I gotta watch it. It's weird cus I usually watch all those gangsta type flicks. For some reason I never watched this one. But it will for sure be the next movie I watch.

Damn, that is a tough one. Scarface had got drugs, violence, and it just downright cool. True Romance has all of that, but so much more as well.

For real, you got me puzzled right now lol. I'll go with Scarface ONLY because I've seen it more than True Romance.

I know its tough, the end of Scarface is chilling but the ending of True Romance is out of this world, I just saw the ending again for the 15th time and it was better than the first time I saw it lol, thats when you know a movie is great.  Both are classics!

Yeah but all the classic scenes in True Romance give it a run for its money.  I know Pacino as Montana is INCREDIBLE but Christian Slater as Clarence is great also

for me I go with true romance, I love that movie.  Just so many great parts.  The Chrisipher Walken vs Dennis Hopper scene is one of my all time favorite scenes ever.  The James Gandolfini scene is tight as hell too.  True Romance is a perfect movie.  Its possibly genius.  This, Pulp Fiction, and Resivoir Doggs are just straight up flawless movies, that imo no matter how many times u seen them they never get old.  And I won't lie to ya, I may think True Romance is my favorite of the 3.

scarface is a really good movie and all, but definately overrated imo.

goodfellas, pulp fiction, resevoir dogs, true romance, braveheart, and some more are all better than scarface.

I was thinkin I would sway my opinion because of the amazing cast True Romance has, but then again, Scarface has the greatest actor of the past couple of decades. So I'm stuck again  >:(

and ya'll gotta remember.. Tarantino wrote True Romance.. but was unable to direct it due to working on Reservoir Dogs.. its got those Tarantino touches with the score n that..


btw ya'll know that scarface is a remake.. the original 1930s b/w version is dope too...


also.. i find this an odd post.. i've always been a fan of True Romance.. never realised other people held it in such high regard..

i'll put scarface over it.. but not by much...

I'm surprised that Scarface isn't the popular pick.  I go with True Romance

yup the scene with alabama and the tony soprano dude, the christopher walken/ dennis hopper scene, the last 20 minutes of the movie, when Clairence goes to confront Drexel the pimp, theres to many great parts to keep track, this movie gives me so many chills every time I see it

I forgot about where Clarence confronts Drexel. Damn that was a good scene. That was during the time Samuel L Jackson got blasted in movies all the time. Before Drexel split his wig, Pesci did it in Goodfellas. At least now he's fuckin up snakes on airplanes.

what was the whole deal with elvis in the bathroom? and who was val kilmer in this movie, it lists him as mentor, who the hell was that? and i dont really get a few lines like the brad pitt one about cleaning products, lol
Title: Re: True Romance vs Scarface which is better?
Post by: Sikotic™ on August 10, 2006, 12:12:02 AM
Elvis was Clarence's mentor right? He loved that guy almost as much as Alabama in the movie lol.
Title: Re: True Romance vs Scarface which is better?
Post by: Spicemuthafuc*in1 on August 10, 2006, 02:10:54 AM
Yes Val Kilmer was "Elvis" in True Romance, I loved the 2 scenes where Clairence talks to Elvis, I meen we know Clairence is a badass but we also know he is pretty unstable at times and he was obsessed w/ Elvis so thats kind of where the scene's come from.  It is my fav movie ever, I watched it again last night lol for like the 20th time and its just as good as the first time Ive seen it.  I love how Clairence couldnt live knowing Drexel was htting Women and getting away with it, Clairence had to kill him as Drexel was eating him up inside, thats whats so great about the first time in the movie where he talks to Elvis and is persuaded by him to kill Drexel and then that whole scene is AMAZING, so much tension and you knew it was gonna blow up!   Such a great movie!

I meen Brad Pitt was totally out of it in that movie as you could see, he was a stoner, w/ no drive at all I meen you saw the scenes where he gave up Clairence and all of them to the mobsters his character had no idea what was going on his brain was fried, the "cleaning products" line was just another comical line w/out any real purpose, just like if you notice when Clairence, Alabama, and Dick are getting directions from Brad Pitt so they can make the drug deal Clairence asks Pitt if he has the time and Brad Pitt looks all dazed and asks Clairence if he has food lol not answering his question at all.

LMAO yeah, brad pitt was fuckin hilarious in the movie, the funniest shit was that he gave directions to all of them and alabama got her ass kicked came back to floyds place and they had no idea that he was the reason that she got all fucked up lmao

I prefer True Romance, even though its kinda hard to say that since Scarface is such a classic.
