Synopsis

After getting a green card in exchange for assassinating a Cuban government official, Tony Montana stakes a claim on the drug trade in Miami. Viciously murdering anyone who stands in his way, Tony eventually becomes the biggest drug lord in the state, controlling nearly all the cocaine that comes through Miami. But increased pressure from the police, wars with Colombian drug cartels and his own drug-fueled paranoia serve to fuel the flames of his eventual downfall.

Continuity by morgan55 · 24 Aug 2008
The scene where the drink is thrown at Tony Montana suffers from inconsistent body positioning across multiple cuts. One moment she is leaning forward with her hand on the glass, and the next she is leaning back with a cigarette in her hand. This lack of continuity is even more apparent when the camera focuses on Tony, as she remains completely still in the background, completely ignoring the movements she was making in the previous shots.
