American Me. So much that about 10 people supposedly got clapped over it and Edward James Olmos got extorted and greenlighted until Danny Trejo used his connections to talk them down.

Grease.

Gangs in the 50s didn't randomly break out in song and dance.

 

[Mr. Pink]

King of New York. Classic flick and very entertaining but it was fantasy land.

And I don’t think high schoolers looked like they were 40 years old.

Yeah, shyt definitely pissed off the wrong people. EJO almost got gunned up and clapped quick.




But it's an excellent movie and one of the most powerful I've ever seen.

i just saw Allen Hughes say American Me is one of the greatest gangster films of all time; he also said it was better than Menace II Society and Boyz In The Hood and all the other hood movies of the 90's

American Me. So much that about 10 people supposedly got clapped over it and Edward James Olmos got extorted and greenlighted until Danny Trejo used his connections to talk them down.

Here's Danny Trejos's take.

It's an excerpt from his memoir:

When Danny Trejo Negotiated Between Hollywood and Mexican Prison Gangs

The iconic actor recalls his involvement in American Me, the controversial film that resulted in as many as 10 deaths.

The way that Danny tells it everybody that was Hollywood on that set sounded like they were Robert Downey Jr. In Tropic Thunder.

The story of Joe Morgan is pretty fascinating. A born Croatian in the 1930s with an Irish name turning a Mexican prison gang into one of the deadliest worldwide criminal organizations.

American Me is very good, and also pretty depressing & disturbing with its multiple rape scenes.

As a boxing fan/historian, I always think of that fukked up scene whenever the name Mando Ramos is brought up.

I didn’t catch on until years later than the actor who is one of the OGs (the one who’s scared a a kid) was the guy who gets chainsawed in Scarface.
