Pacino says hello to his little friends at 'Scarface' reunion

Al Pacino has said that the enduring success of 'Scarface' is "kind of like a fairy tale".

The 71-year-old actor was speaking as he was reunited with the movie's co-stars in Los Angeles last night, as they launched the Blu-ray DVD release of the gangster classic.

Al Pacino said that at the time, the 1983 film was groundbreaking.

"The violence of it at the time was very staggering and they were thinking of giving it an x-rating at the time, y'know, because of all the f's in it," he said.

"But at the same time, it wasn't as violent as a lot of pictures were."
