The Real Scarface: When Hollywood Wasn’t Crazy Enough

Before Tony Montana stormed across the big screen, there were real men in Miami and Bolivia whose lives were already reading like a Hollywood script.

The real-life Tony Montana? Mario Tabraue.

In the 1980s, Cuban-born Tabraue became one of Miami’s notorious “Cocaine Cowboys,” building a multimillion-dollar drug empire.

But the money wasn’t the only thing that made his world extraordinary.

His Miami estate reportedly featured exotic animals—including tigers, cheetahs, and panthers. His lavish lifestyle became part of the mythology surrounding the era and has been linked to the world that inspired Scarface.

“Basically I was no different than a rock star or a movie star. I was a coke star.”

WATCH: Netflix Documentary “The Perfect Neighbor” Exposes the Pitfalls of the Stand Your Ground Law

Now streaming on Netflix, The Perfect Neighbor explores a tight-knit community experiencing relentless harassment by a neighbor whose hostility escalates into a fatal crime.

This chilling documentary chronicles the events leading up to the murder of Florida mother Ajike Owens who was horrifically gunned down by a “Karen” neighbor and exposes the consequences of Florida’s Stand Your Ground law.

The Stand Your Ground law is extremely controversial because it pretty much gives someone the license to kill. The law is intended to allow people the right to defend themselves with deadly force if “in fear for their life,” but it’s nearly impossible to truly gage someone’s accurate fear level at the time of an incident putting the legitimacy of the law into question.
