Your Favorite Movie Might Have Been Banned In These Countries

Scarface (1932)

If we want to examine how audiences and standards have changed over the years, then all we need to do is look at the example of Scarface. The 1932 original film was produced by Howard Hughes and was banned in five US states. Why?

It was decided that the film glorified violence and crime pertaining to Al Capone. Strangely, there have been far more violent films since this one in 1932, particularly the 1983 remake from director Brian De Palma.
