The picture of Gen. Cocombre that the cocaine investigator shows during his interview that Sosa shows to Tony and the rest of his guests, is in fact of Col. Luis Arce Gómez, who was an actual member of the infamous "Cocaine Coup" that ran Bolivia from 1981-82.

When Manny gets Tony, after basketball, both walk towards the gate, meanwhile a bearded character with a spotted brown shirt is walking behind them in and out of the camera for no apparent reason, when Manny and Tony reach the gate to check the incoming Rebenga, that same bearded brown-shirted man enters through the gate from outside, this time wearing a hat and with a limp leg.

Q
Is this movie based on a book?
A
Yes. Scarface (1983) is a remake of Scarface (1932), which was adapted by American playwright and screenwriter Ben Hecht from the novel Scarface (1930), written by American author Maurice Coons [1902-1930] under the pen name Armitage Trail. The original film, however, is set in Chicago during the era of Prohibition (the 30's) and features Itallian mobsters (not identified as Mafia per se).
Q
Is Tony attracted to his sister Gina?
A
This film never goes into detail about this theme. Some people lean towards a yes, since the 1932 film portrays Tony as having feelings of incest for his sister. A logical answer would be that it is very unlikely that Tony is sexually attracted to Gina because in the film, Tony expresses interest in conceiving children with Elvira, telling her how beautiful he thinks she is and wanting to marry her. Most viewers agree that Tony is overprotective of Gina, refusing to let her have a boyfriend and threatening to kill anyone who expresses interest in her. At the end of the film Gina herself suggests Tony must indeed want her because he can't stand for another man to be with her. Tony has a genuine look of confusion on his face and even asks what she's talking about. Therefore he likely did not have sexual feelings towards her. Most likely he didn't want her to be around his kind of people, drug dealers, low-lifes, etc. but of course by trying his hardest to keep her away from such things, pushed her even closer to them. However numerous times in the film we see Tony almost leering at her in a way a brother would not normally act. It seems as though he IS attracted to his sister. When these feelings arise they anger and confuse Tony causing him to become violent numerous times; ie: shooting Manny and beating up Gina's boyfriend in the bathroom of the club. This combined with the fact that the original film displays similar themes does point to Tony's unhealthy attraction to Gina.
Q
How could Tony take so many shots and still be standing in the final gunfight?
A
The cinematic answer is that he'd snorted so much cocaine in the few minutes prior that it gave him the strength to keep upright and taunt his attackers even though they'd riddled him with hundreds of bullets. In reality Tony couldn't have possibly remained upright despite how much cocaine he'd snorted beforehand. The scene is simply there to add to the fact that Tony has balls of steel.
