- Director Edward James Olmos directs and stars in this movie about the origins of the Mexican Mafia in the California prison system. This movie caused a lot of outrage from the Mexican Mafia, as they felt the homosexual rape scenes were way out of line. Several of the consultants reportedly were murdered after this movies release. I gotta admit Olmos dug deep into many issues within the Latino community. Siskel suggests it's the Latino equivalent to Boyz in the Hood. Tough, but important to watch.
One of my all time favorite films! It really is phenomenal.
Love the scene of them shaking down the Italians. It just shows the power the Hispanics have over the west coast. The Italians have never been able to run anything in the southwest because of them
Aint no fuckin italians in east los
Most Italians left the culture of crime and gangs when the hispanics began forming their gangs. In addition, their population are small on the West Coast, but in New York and east coast the Italians have the upper hand
@@Co-nm8ntItalians never really ran the West Coast the oldest organized crime groups in California were the Chinese the tong association and the Hispanic gangs that began in the early 1900s.
Love this movie, such an underrated film
Annnnnd there’s “underrated” guy…
The EME gave Edward the green light because of the rape scene . No one in the EME has ever been raped and you can't be homosexual .
Al Pacino dodged a bullet there.
How do you know? Tons of EME guys did time in multiple prisons. How can you honestly say that not one single one was raped or involved in homosexuality? I understand it was against the rules but I am more than sure some of these guys broke the rules.
Hahaha! Yeah right
When you have a code of following rules or die would you break them? It's not just some movie this is real life.
After I declared peace the Mafia put a movie out there giving orders for peace on the streets!!!!!!!! I tripped out they went along and put that out there
I just finished watching this movie awhile for the time all the years it's been out and I will say it blew me away..amazing acting but was a bit rough...
They'll just stick your face in a sack of rice while having their way with you
This is not a Latino boys n the hood 😂😂
They really missed on this one
The ending of this movie sucked.....
Spoiler......
Why would the gang have big puppet kill his brother lil puppet for accidentally getting Santana sent back to jail if they were just going to kill Santana themselves anyway?!!!!
Remember the scene when he brings his brother in? If the brother did something wrong, the one who brought him in had to take him out.
