Robert De Niro said in a joint interview with Pacino for GQ in 2019, around the time The Irishman was released, that he remembered urging Pacino to make Scarface with Brian De Palma – which Pacino ultimately did. “I said, if you don’t do it, I’m gonna do it,”
De Niro recalled saying. Pacino, meanwhile, says he remembers that De Niro and Scorsese were “playing with the idea” of a Scarface movie.
Three years after Pacino played fictional gangster Tony Montana in 1983’s Scarface, De Niro played the original Scarface, Al Pacino, in 1987’s The Untouchables.

Al Pacino leaves that dirt ball thug deniro in the dirt
No comparison
Al is better than deniro ever will be
You won't have to count on MY money to see ANY movie with DeNiro in it. I use to think he was a great actor...now he is on level of the employees of the set sandwich truck....
Here, here Cat!
You got that right!
So true
For sure. Slam dunk
moderate this
De Niro is known more now for his political garbage than his movies. I wouldn't cross the street to see him in a movie.
He just says what most people are thinking.
So true
So Billy, is it De Niro or Pacino? I would surmise you are likewise infested!
He may be known by YOU for his political "garbage" but for many of us he is an excellent actor and yeah, he's allowed to speak his mind.
I can see the comments section is infested with alt-right cult members following the link from the Drudge Report.
So what ???
Pacino has had a much wider body of excellent work (see Scent of a Woman, Devil's Advocate). DeNiro is good in Mob roles, but ordinary in others.
I also wouldn't mind seeing him stick to movies and away from politics.
Yes, I agree re politics! I think he uses the F word because he isn't able to do that !
I agree. Al Pacino has more breath and depth as an actor. DeNiro's ascent into that rarefied air was made possible through Scorcese's directorial balls and know how. Al Pacino's success can be directly related to Pacinos talent. Look at the movie historical perspective. Pacino worked with many talented directors. The same cannot be said of Mr. DeNiro
de Niro is an airhead with 5 great performances, each playing someone with brain damage. this is not that hard to do. otherwise he mugs and schticks, and for some reason everyone swoons.
Pacino hasn't had enough good roles for his talent, and has made some strange choices, but his is the greater talent, by far.
"The Irishman" is the third time Pacino and De Niro are united on screen. They never shared the screen in "The Godfather Part II". And to say "only" the fourth is stupid. Most stars aren't ever in the same movie much less four!
