The Oscar-winning star, who played iconic character Tony Montana in the 1983 thriller, placed his hands on the burning hot barrel forgetting that 30 rounds had just been shot from it.

That's how long it's been since we've seen... Read more
Mean Streets (1973) Scorsese’s defining moment came at the age of 31, when his eighth film Mean Streets was put into production.
