That shit didn't inspire the movie Scarface. Scarface with Pacino is a remake of the 1932 film Scarface starring Paul Muni & directed by Howard Hawks( @ the end of the movie they'll even give a thank you shout out to Howard Hawks before the credits roll) & the original Scarface was based on a book. U got shit hella twisted. Cocaine Cowboys didn't inspire no fucking Scarface.

Yeah Miami! Not Oakland. The original Scarface was about bootlegging but when they decided to do the remake they went with cocaine cuz bootlegging had been expired. They had to go with something more modern. I've done my homework. It wasn't borrowed from anything that went on in Cocaine Cowboys is what I was saying. Some of the shit Oliver Stone put in the script was shit that actually happned but none was borrwed from any of the people in Cocaine Cowboys is what was saying. The shit didn't inspire no Scarface.
i dont think he was saying the movie cocaine cowboys itself inspired scarface but the actual shit that was going on in the 80's was the shit that cocaine cowboys shows you and talks about....did you even watch the movie? only part 2 has shit about oakland in it....the 1st part is all about miami mainly and how miami became such a major city due to the cocaine importing business....
tell me how the real mafuccaz like escobar and them aint an influence on what they portrayed in the movie scarface? if they werent doing what they was doing then there would have never been material for the scarface movie....

'Last of the Cocaine Cowboys' arrested after 26 years on the lam
Gustavo Falcon, the brother of one of Miami's most notorious 1980s drug traffickers, Augusto "Willie" Falcon, was arrested Wednesday night after evading authorities for 26 years.
Authorities were initially led to Gustavo Falcon's whereabouts in March after discovering he had been using a fraudulent Florida driver's license under an alias since 1997, US Marshals Senior Inspector Barry Golden told CNN.
Through the license, law enforcement officials discovered Gustavo, also known as "Tabby," had been living in the Orlando area since 1999, and they traced him to a rental property in suburban Kissimmee. A team comprising local law enforcement and officials from the US Marshals Miami and Orlando offices, along with its Fugitive Task Force, had the property under surveillance for more than a month.
"He was the last of the Cocaine Cowboys," Golden said late Wednesday night.
Golden told CNN that officials seized on an opportunity when they saw who they believed to be Falcon and his wife leave for a lengthy bike ride Wednesday afternoon. Marshals observed the couple ride for approximately 40 miles and when they were certain of the fugitive's identity, they apprehended Falcon at an intersection near his home.
"We caught a break today," Golden said. "It was a lot of hard work, and some luck, and it paid off."
At the time of his capture, Falcon initially stuck with his alias from the fake license, but Golden said after a time, he admitted his identity. Falcon was arrested without incident and booked into the Orange County Jail Wednesday night.
Falcon, along with his brother Willie and his partner Salvador Magluta were indicted in 1991, charged with smuggling approximately 75 tons of cocaine into the United States over a 13-year period between 1978 and 1991, according to the federal indictment.
Willie and Magluta are both serving lengthy prison terms, but Gustavo had been on the lam since 1991. Golden told CNN that authorities initially believed that he fled to either Cuba or South America, until they discovered the fake driver's license that led them to Orlando.

He is the last in the group of eight indicted in 1991, led by his brother Willie Falcon and partner Sal Magluta, who commandeered a cocaine syndicate prosecutors called "an extraordinarily prolific cocaine organization" throughout the 1980s.
Falcon, 56, who had been known by the nickname Tabby, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring to possess cocaine with intent to distribute, though the plea accounts for far less cocaine than was actually distributed. Prosecutors estimated the group smuggled 75 tons of cocaine into the United States over 13 years, collected more than $2 billion in cash and assets, and lived the high-life while Miami deteriorated into violent drug wars.
Shortly after it was unsealed in 1991, Falcon and his wife fled. They stayed on the lam for 26 years.
Last April, U.S. marshals discovered he and his wife had obtained fraudulent Florida drivers licenses in 1997, under the names Luis and Maria Reiss, and traced them to a rental property near Orlando, where they were living with their son David and daughter Jennifer. Marshals arrested them as the couple returned from a bicycle ride.
Per the terms of the plea agreement, Falcon's wife and children will not be prosecuted for crimes including harboring a fugitive, accessories after-the-fact and obstruction of justice.
"You can tell that ... it was very important for Mr. Falcon that he accept responsibility, and he alone accept responsibility, for his absence from the jurisdiction for the last 26 years," his attorney, Howard Srebnick, told Local 10 News.
Falcon will be compelled to tell prosecutors what has become of the case and assets from the criminal enterprise over the last 26 years.
Moreno, presiding over Falcon's change of plea, can sentence Falcon up to 20 years in prison for his one count. In his legal favor, he is not charged with any of the cocaine syndicate's violence or possessing weapons.
"I had forgotten about this case until they seized you," Moreno said. "I have no idea what I'm going to do."
Sentencing is scheduled for April 11 at 10 a.m.
Falcon's brother had pleaded guilty in a deal, served prison time and was released last summer. He is currently in federal immigration custody; he in a Cuban native, having never become a U.S. citizen.
His partner Magluta, who went to trial and was convicted, is serving a 195-year sentence.
