Director Brian De Palma's classic 1983 gangster picture 'Scarface' returns to 4K UHD disc in the new 'Scarface: Amazon Exclusive Ultimate Collector's Edition SteelBook 4K'. Packaged in a sleek, spot-glossed box, a metal poster, a hanging solution for the poster, and a certificate of authenticity are also included with the exclusive SteelBook. The discs included in the new SteelBook (a 4K UHD disc and a Blu-ray) are identical to those of the previous 4K release. A Digital Code redeemable through Movies Anywhere is also included. Please scroll down to the 'Special Features and Extras' section below for a discussion of the newest SteelBook and the other contents.

Measuring approximately 13" x 9.75" x 1.5", the Scarface: Amazon Exclusive Ultimate Collector's Edition SteelBook 4K box is quite sizeable,
but it
rather efficiently houses the included content with little wasted space. The cover of the black box is dominated by Tony Montana's stylized and
intertwined initials in a blood-red font that have been enhanced nicely by the use of spot-gloss. A tab closure keeps the lid secure. Opening the box
reveals the the words "The World Is Yours" printed on the underside of the cover in large white letters. The metal poster in it's protective sleeve lies
on top of the box's other contents. The metal poster is just slightly smaller the than the dimensions of the outer box, and has the same matte finish
as the SteelBook. The poster has a large image of a seated Tony Montana (Al Pacino). The actor's name and the film's title are found in the lower half
of the image. Removing the poster, the other contents are revealed. On the right is the hanging solution for the metal poster. It consists of an
adhesive square that is affixed to a magnet which is then positioned and stuck to the desired surface - most likely a wall. The metal poster is then
held firmly on the wall by the magnet. Under the Certificate of Authenticity is the new SteelBook. On the cover, which sports a deep red background,
the top half of is populated with a collage of characters from the film, with Pacino's Montana, and Michele Pfeiffer's Elvira being the most eye-catching.
Below them is Pacino's name and the film's title. Underneath that is an image of Montana's Cadillac convertible, with Elvira standing in front of the
driver's door. Various pieces of jewelry and chrome elements of the convertible have been given a metallic silver highlight. The simple black spine
holds the film's title in the center, and Universal's logo at the bottom. Both are white. The back cover features Montana's "The World Is Yours" statue.
The gold of the statue is set off nicely by the deep red color scheme. Universal's logo is centered at the bottom, and a product number is found in the
lower right.
Opening the SteelBook, the Digital Code rests under the two tabs on the left side. On the right side, the 4K UHD disc and the Blu-ray disc are stagger-
stacked, each on its own hub, with the 4K UHD disc on top. Removing the discs and the Digital Code reveals a two-panel image of Pacino's Tony
Montana from the film's memorable shoot-out on the left. The most quoted line from the film, "Say hello to my little friend", is printed in large
red letters in the cloud of smoke on the right. The SteelBook has a matte finish that should resist fingerprints associated with normal handling. While
the cover does have the aforementioned metallic highlights, there aren't any embossed, debossed, or spot-glossed elements.

here.

Scarface's Tony Montana is one of Pacino's most memorable performances, and features one of the most quoted elements of dialogue in modern cinema. The excessive and over-the-top tale of the quest for the American Dream gone horribly wrong has been given a moody new SteelBook with an interior image that highlights the mayhem found in the film. The metal poster is a unique and interesting collectible that will no doubt be appreciated by fans with dwindling shelf space. It may not be enough for those with any of the other premium editions of the film to spring for a double or triple dip, but for those who have yet to upgrade the film to 4K, or those that are looking for a more deluxe packaging of the film, the Scarface: Amazon Exclusive Ultimate Collector's Edition SteelBook 4K comes highly recommended.
