Elementary School Children Perform 'Scarface' Live

By Zach Dionne Posted Mar 30th 2010 02:00PM

"You do coke and you kill people," a schoolgirl tells a peer, deeming him a "motherfudger" and a "son of a B."

This is an elementary school adaptation of 'Scarface.' You remember -- that movie where a guy got hacked up in the shower with a chainsaw and people sold and snorted a bunch of cocaine? It's alright, though -- all the F-bombs are replaced with a chocolatey confection and a mountain of popcorn stands in for Al Pacino's pile of cocaine from the 1983 Brian De Palma film.

It's not exactly family friendly, but then again, it's not exactly a real school play. Read on.

The clip is hosted by YouTube user cindymomof6. The description plainly reads: "Jaydon's school put on a kids production of Scarface." One of the video tags is "cussing." Hmm.

Turns out the demise of today's youth was narrowly avoided when TMZ discovered the video was a planned production by Marc Klasfeld and Rockhard Films, the folks behind Lady Gaga's 'Poker Face' video. "It was produced in L.A. within the last few weeks and the audience members were a mix of cast family members, colleagues and friends," TMZ reports. "As for Lil' Tony and his co-stars, they were selected through a casting agent known for finding child actor look-alikes for adult stars."

To be fair, we had no complaints about the kid's accent or the spectacular set design. Check out those palm trees! That tiger!

If you have an aversion to the word "fudging," don't even think about watching the video embedded below:

You would think they would have used 'white' popcorn to get the
full effect. That's about a half-a-million in 'coke' there.

MY GOD !!! THIS IS JUST WHAT LITTLE CHILDREN NEED TO BE DOING.
PATHETIC.... WHAT DID THOSE CHILDREN LEARN FROM THIS ???

THIS PLAY IS OK FOR HIGH SCHOOL, BUT NOT FOR THE AGES OF THOSE KIDS !

HOW CAN THE SCHOOL PUT ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS.?
WORSE >>> HOW CAN PARENTS THINK THIS IS A GOOD THING ?
AND I'M NOT A PRUDE. THIS WAS DISTURBING !!!

BET THOSE KIDS WILL ACT OUT AT HOME BECAUSE THEY NOW THINK THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR IS OK.

ASININE FACULTY... STUPID MOTHAFUDGERS
ASININE PARENTS.... WORSE MOTHAFUDGERS

Ok, calm down. If you read carefully, you'll see that this wasn't a real school play. These are child actors doing this with their parents' permission. Still kinda strange, but please no need for the all-caps yelling about the poor children.

By sean henderson

yeah could do without the all caps thing

By r brockie

This is not appropriate. "Scarface" is a serious film focused on crime, politics, etc. and is NOT material for young children. I am very appalled at this.

By Ben

Apparently no one can read. IT WAS A FARCE. This was NOT a school play.

By JIll

Do u think these kids and the ones who will watch this clip understand what a Farce is? Kids need good, positive images to recite and ponder. Lets wait on the drugs and violence til they are, oh, lets say at least 13.

By Oh NO

I just about puked when I seen this. "What the fudge"? This is so NOT RIGHT, there are a million Great writers who wrote wonderful moving stories and then We gotta hear about this and Parents were ok with this, PLLEESSEE. Not My Child.

By Principal Edward

I can't wait for their production of Natural Born Killers scheduled for 2011! It's a reflection of the times in which we live. I say go for it!

By gunnyroc

The kids are all really talented, having said that. What dumb Mother-fudger allowed these children to ( A ) see the film in the first place, and ( B ) re-inact the movie scenes.
This is one of the other forms of child abuse. looks like it budget cut time.

hahahahhahah That was fudgeing great!!! hahahahaha

By Jolene

This is beyond ridiculous! School play or not. Children of that age should not be performing such a violent act, period. What is this teaching these kids? It's already bad enough that kids are exposed to such movies, music and television in their daily lives but to have them perform it? This is sickening. Shame on the adults who supported this crap too!!!!!!

Your dead wrong Jolene and so are your claims which are lies. I thought it was funny I guess you would have a problem with kids playing cops and robbers it was clean and the parents ok it so I have no problem with it. I would wouldn't let my kids do it until older like about 11 would be the right time. TV movies, music is no worse than what it was 10 or 20 years ago and that is a fact.

By Betty

This is so wrong in so many ways....

By cansadopadres

If your a coke addict and have no respect for life then it's ok.

Maybe if one of the kids or friends kills someone in the future they should be held responsible

hey, I'm a recovering coke addict and I thought it was not so great. The acting wasn't so great. The 'actor's didn't look like the real actor's counterparts, either and they were supposed to. And one more thing, Scarface didn't even end like that. A disappoint all the way around. Save your money and stay home.

By J

This is not what children this age need to be doing. What are they learning in school. This is very inappropriate for children this age!
