I've watched this movie about 3 times a year. And i just thought about how Trinidad wasn't in any 90s movie. Man,, Didn't know he died shortly after filming.
Maria Conchita Alonso also wrote an open letter to Sean Penn criticizing him for his support of Hugo Chavez, calling Penn a communist. Maybe she really was mad about him spray painting the kid's face.
I saw an interview some years ago where she said he was hard to get along with on the set. All he wanted to do was talk politics. His off camera antics with the paparazzi was distracting on the set.
It's a shame that Trinidad died so long ago. He also played a gang member on "Hill Street Blues" for years. I didn't know that Penn was arrested for assaulting an extra during this movie. He is such an asshole.
I like how they claim the funeral shooting was "unrealistic" but that used to happen in Chicago literally all the time where there are even more gangs than LA
