"Say Hello To My Leeetle 8-Bit Film Parody!"
Cineflix has turned the classic Al Pacino gangster film Scarface into an 8-bit beat 'em up.
The clip reimagines the gritty 1983 classic – itself one of the key influences behind Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto: Vice City – as a Double Dragon-style, side-scrolling 2D action game, only with more drugs and machine guns.

Our Take
Although it's far from novel at this point, I never seem to get sick of the "remake a TV show/movie as an 8-bit game" trick.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
