@2334juan A remaster would be awesome but Disney probably wouldn't let it happen. I think they wanted to bury it for a long time. I believe this was their first time dabbling in R rated film under their subsidiary Hollywood pictures. I think this is why they never released anything beyond a vhs/DVD.
You know the first time you watch this movie, especially at a young age, it's powerful. But when you watch it one too many times, as you get older, it gets funnier. Plus you remember the characters lines 😂
The movie was bad even for it's time, it just turned out to be some sort of cult movie due to the over the top cliche script, which is indeed funny specially today where we are living in a politically correct era. No one would ever survive a day in jail being blatantly racist like that to all races lol, their own race would stab him to death for starting shit non-stop lmao.
Time will tell. We are still talking about and going to watch plays based on Shakespeare's writings. How long down the line do you think this movie will go?
Spanish speaking people have a great love for apples, there's a special protein in their blood that makes them go crazy for apples. So when he says "I want his life" he means "I want to be white." He wishes for a life of white privilege and the ability to say no to apples, because only white people can say no to things.
Big Al talk himself to an early grave. He should have spared few pork chops for the leaders and keep them happy. If he did now he would have been alive and enjoying his Milkshakes all day long.
This movie is filled with quotables, tons of replay value, memorable characters, very comedic content, meanwhile American Me is a very serious toned movie with a lie that cost the real lives of certain crew members of that film including a hit on Edward James Olmos that he had to pay a million to get the hit removed.
@@migonzz they didn't get "exposed". Olmos was told to remove the lie about the gang leader being r@ped in prison, as it never happened, but Olmos decided to leave the scene because he felt it added to the story's intensity. Also! At the end of the film is shows gang leader being shanked by his own crew as an order by crew member, which was also a lie. Again, Olmos was told to remove the scenes, but he refused. Olmos wanted a great film not the truth. As a result it cost people's lives.
@@ricardoignacio916 thank you for this, I’ll have the pleasure of watching the movie again soon enough. Thank you again for sharing this information 👍🏼
Al was the funniest guy in this movie, even though it wasn't supposed to be a comedy. So many good insults just in this scene alone. "Move on fly catcher, got hungry men behind you" lol
It came out after "American Me," which was very similar in story and content, and was critically acclaimed upon release. Unfortunately for Blood In, people saw it as riding coattails of the previous movie, and the LA Riots happened right before Blood In was released, forcing a name change to "Bound by Honor" didn't help either.
@@alexgamboa4131 Because a bunch of racist pig cops got off clean after nearly beating a black guy to death, and the people were pissed that the cops didn't go to prison. The only reason people riot is because they're frustrated. Also, before you say "they destroyed their own city" well, it's not their city, the people don't have any power
Al must love living on the edge. In a minute he manages to directly insult at least three guys who have crews that can fuck him up. Who would have guessed it would be that sweet ray of sunshine that would do Al in.
3:15 for anyone who doesn’t know the guy on the left holding Miklo is Jimmy Santiago Baca. He’s and author/poet and a lot of the scenes in the movie were inspired from what he saw while in prison
This movie was a must to watch in the 90s. You learn different things from the different characters. We studied these movies like this and watched them religiously.
One of the best movies ever made! Stumbling across this while Channel surfing back before streaming equaled being up for another 2hrs regardless of how tired I was. I even owned the damn DVD & would still stay up & watch it.
Hell no your not wrong, He, like most greats got fucked out an Oscar, Gary Busey didn't even get nominated for the Oscar for The Buddy Holly Story, a shame, Big Al made this movie, I wonder how many times they had to shoot this scene, know they was laughing they're asses off, she's jealous lol
@@williamtobin7282 lol I hear ya, I've watched the pork chop scene 50 times in the last 2 weeks lol There ain't nuttin but fat on dat bone, gimme anuva chop
One of the most underrated movies of all time!. The fact that this film was shot in the real San Quentin State Prison is awesome!. This does deserve a 4K remaster and I will buy it if it comes our!. "Your Mamma was a Freebie PUTO!" 🤣
@@ROCKSTARMANIC12While that's serviceable, it's definitely not anywhere close to what it would look like if it was a real remaster, meaning to strike a new 4K print from the original camera negative.
This movie so underrated and its hands down 1 of the best prison gang life movies.. I recall watching it in my mid teens and it was dope, havent watched it for over 15 years. Cant believe it was released the year i was born 😅
Everyone in this movie made this a classic hit regardless of the role you couldn't make or duplicate. This movie today is because of the talented cast .
3:14 I love how Montana seems legitimately perplexed to know what miclo is there for. Great character. Fun fact: when the actor for montana went to his audition, he got told right away that he didnt fit the look they were going for. but luckily he had some pictures of himself showing off his mucles and they gave him a chance. he also improvised the part about montana being interested in precolombian culture. he talks about that on a spanish interview he did for youtuber "gusgri"
Also, what's interesting is the power dynamic. Even though Big Al' is in a servitor role he's actually the one with all the power and you know the people he's insulting are killers yet the very candid and jovial way he dismisses their threats is testament to the man's toughness and this is where his strength lies - when he mocks their very real threats you believe him and it's this 'aura' of power that really makes the character truly frightening! The guy who played Al should have been given an Oscar and I don't say that lightly, the scene is small but the way he delivers every line, and his mannerisms are incredible. You know and believe that these people want to fuck him over, but you also know they can't, and that's power.
It's also well written and the videography is spot on too. For instance, there is a lot of symbolism with the apple; The way the apple is handed from a high position to a low position shows that Al's offer is an offer of servitude, that goes unaccepted. Then in a later scene, Montana makes an offer with the same apple, but is handed horizontally from montana to miklo, which symbolizes and offer of equality, which miklo ultimately accepts. Of course, the apple itself represents Miklo's original sin in prison, and he only choses the circumstances of his original sin.
Actor Enrique Castillo plays the character "Montana Segura" based on Mexican Mafia leader Rodolfo Alvarado Cadena (1943-1972) Actor Damian Chapa plays the character "Miklo Velka" based on Joseph "Pegleg" Morgan (1929-1993) who was the first non-Hispanic member of the Mexican Mafia. He was nicknamed "Pegleg" by the authorities due to his prosthetic leg.
