I saw it in theaters at 11 years old with my mom and grandma, in Phoenix, AZ. We were the only people in there, lol. Some of those scenes haunted me, especially the Montana scene, but I loved it. Then later, it was a cult hit with my class, on VHS. We'd do quotes from it, and tell people about it, and passed it around. It was always a hit movie without being a hit movie. To this day I see kids wearing t-shirts, and see stickers around... it's a bonafide latino classic, a hood classic. Taylor Hackford did it right. Much respect to him.
I love this so much, Jesse talking about my hometown makes me feel connected to my ancestors and understanding the confusion we all face by detribalization and cultural identities.
He is the perfect person to represent San Antonio. Hope to meet him one day, shake his hand and thank him.
He plays at the Harlandale High School Alumni basketball tournament every year. This year is on July 12- July 14.
This Man really knows how to grab your attention. First minute in and it's that good.
