Scarface (Push it to the Limit)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This song was used in the movie in the montage scene that demonstrated Tony Montana's rise in wealth and position after he deposed and killed Frank Lopez (Robert Loggia) and took over as the head cocaine trafficker in Miami. The montage contains cuts of Tony buying a house, opening his sister's beauty salon, his marriage to Elvira, buying a pet tiger, etc., interspersed with shots of sackfuls of drug money being run through counting machines and laundered.
