The rape scene they were outraged over was when the Mexican mafia had guys rape the the Italian mafia guy's son. That would not happen with the Mexican mafia, not even to child molesters. They were also pissed about the scene when they killed their leader. Although it was said they made that scene because they were warned not to depict what really happened -- their biggest rival the nuestra familia killed him.

[@chucktaylor824]

The rape scene where Santana was raped was a no no as well. I think that was the main rape scene they were outraged about. There's no way a top ranked leader would ever even allow that to happen. But that Italian scene you're talking about is definitely no good because they were ther perpetrators. One of the MAIN rules of the Mexican Mafia is NO homosexuality.

[@samsaldana8008]

That’s a picture of the real cliqa

[@Ironheart73]

What some people are not mentioning is that Olmos also portrayed the mother of the protagonist as a rape victim during the Zoot Suit riots. Which is the reason why his own father did not love him. This did not happen. If you ask me, this is way more offensive that portraying the protagonist as someone who was raped in Juvie. I know its all for cinematic effect, and the name was changed, but still THIS WAS A REAL PERSON. Portraying someones mother as a rape victim for your vanity project when it did not happen will be enough for ANYONE to want you dead. Also another audacity of Olmos is that he lied about getting the permission to make the movie. Again he was basing his movie on people that existed and some of them were still alive. In particular, he lied about consulting with the real Joe Pegleg Morgan about making the movie. Joe would have never approved the script. It was the time when Olmos was still riding high with his Oscar nomination.

[@stevenserna910]

Tony, this was a movie, nothing more. Fantasy with lights and sparkly stuff. Hollywood will NEVER produce an authentic totally realistic movie about prison. There's no money in it. If you've been there before, you don't need to see a movie. If you havent, its so easy nowadays to get locked up, you'll get first hand experience very quickly. You have half the movie boring, with smelly dudes burping & farting, watching tv, playing checkers, chess, or dominoes. The other half is terror, and brutality that no one really wants to pay money to watch. On a side note: back in the early 80's when I did my time, the cell door control gears were located in a covered steel box conduit above each cell running down the line and ending at the gears that roll the doors at the boss' picket (control cage). With a little "convict ingenuity" we were able to open those boxes, and rig the gear to "pop" the lock mechanism, and roll open the cell door. So, yes, if you need to get out of your cell, for whatever reason, there is a way. Now, this was early 70's/80's technology. After almost 40 years, they "probably" have upgraded their locking systems. Anyways, that was then. The old way before the 70's, the boss had a big brass key that would open each individual cell door lock on that line. As prison lines (rows) got bigger, it was not-convenient, or practical to do this anymore. That's why entire rows of cells roll-open at one time. The boss stays in his controller picket at the head if the row, nice and safe, and the convicts come-out our cages for; yard, work, dayroom, chow, etc.

The real tough guys are the ones that get up every morning to work their asses off during 45 years.

[@RFJersey]

Not really.

[@Moroni108]

you know, it's a fine thing to balance showing and giving respect to felons/prisoners, and or/ bowing with allegiance. Showing respect goes a long way with the men, as it goes with most of the human race. However, bending to their wickedness is not an option to the righteous person.

[@terrycole6229]

"Blood in, Blood out, bound by honor" was better movie by far.

[@carloflorez8697]

Too many discrepancies in this movie. Cheyenne was murdered by Nuestra Familia hit men while in Palm Hall. Not by his own brothers. And as for Olmos to even Suggest Cheyenne Cadena was raped in Juvenile hall was a big mistake. Considering that there is NOTHING TO HISTORICALLY REFLECT THAT THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED. Olmos disrespected a high ranking member by suggesting this happenned. Pissed alotta the fellas off. As you can see, Olmos Career took a turn for the worst. Haven't heard from him in years. He Made the Worst mistake he could possibly make. With the most treacherous Gang on the street. The fellas Make the Italians look like Mousketeers!! Pendejo Olmos...

Lies have consequences

[@essenenaziriteyirmeyahu851]

The irony. Getting mad about the murders and the justice, by committing murders in the name of justice? Over a movie?

[@theyetti90]

2nd deadliest, Rust, Alec Baldwin.

[@philmorris2438]

I got emphysema from just watching Olmos smoking and all those death draws from his cigarettes.

[@majinhiei7]

I hated it too. Talk about boring.

[@chadchaddingtonflexington8415]

American me was garbage. I literally cheered and celebrated when I heard that a few of the creators behind it got killed

[@sonicnotails3265]

Olmos wasnt tasked with making the movie he wanted to make the movie

[@adolfogarcia1630]

Cause they wanted to be gay in secret.

[@orangexxxx3140]

Dont look at me little puppet.

[@FingazzDelFresco]

They didn’t have to change anything and he would’ve been perfectly fine, while literally saving lives. La Eme and it’s rise is crazy enough without having to make shit up. Olmos just wanted to film a gangster movie with him as the lead. It was really good, but that’s because the story already is.

[@haylobos8261]

They just did it on purpose for the publicity. They always do that, put some controversial stuff to get into the papers.

[@notsocrates9529]

If they made it too accurate and glamorized, it might come off like a recruiting video for prison gangs. There are a lot of people pulling strings behind the scenes, there is always a message or subliminal influencing of how the audience perceives or feels about certain things.

[@Beachboy-sg4qx]

2021 now things will forever change nothing stays the same

[@Apple_Teck]

Wrong. It actually helped them in regards to recruitment and other gangs fell in line using this free publicity.

[@WhatnotChaser]

Wrong? They killed around a dozen people involved with the film.

[@Apple_Teck]

@@WhatnotChaser Collateral damage.

[@kingturk339]

Thats why they make Blood in blood out i hear. And La onda is La Eme in real life and Los Santos Vagos gang in gta san andreas are represent La Eme too

[@saulramos5722]

Blood in was just as bad. Also almost had a hit because they had Joes character not hard and had his ass touched. But people saying he was hard and said not to kill anyone from blood in. Homies say he had American me killed was because they said HE killed candena who was his Mijo… not just a carnal he was like his son

[@ramonlopez5557]

GUERO SHERM on the thumbnail from SAN DIEGO

[@matthewmann8969]

Probably a miscommunication and misrepresentation

[@EnriqueLopez-pl4gg]

Who cares this dudes are in prison missing out on all the cool stuffs in this planet and their not part of it🤣🤣🤣

[@demetrekingtv6309]

I don’t like how they did the blacks in that movie always tryna get one over on us la eme went to work on them they deserved it

[@Rubinsotelo7816]

That’s why you never believe HOLLYWOOD.

[@grayblack7506]

Like the game sleeping dogs, the gangs in the game was called sun on yee and 18k, the real gangs is called sun yee on and 14k.

[@DS-uo5ie]

Evil is in the jails,on the streets,and in the minds of people!”Be careful,that you don’t fall into the snares of the devil!😈🙁

[@11Ninety4]

Orale carnal Great Movie just like like Blood in Blood out

[@popeye5274]

Blood in, Blood out is the better film.
