@@SpeakMusic25 I know enough to say I lost homies to that propaganda lifestyle, and 4 what 😒 showing off ? ... How is that a lifestyle ??? Constantly having to watch your back, because you created so many enemies for the dumbest reasons. I assume you've seen the movie " Colors " being that your here commenting off the clip 😏. Maybe try listening to what Ron Delaney( the ex Gang member in the movie trying to talk some sense to the other gangs of his community ) was saying to the gang bangers in the same scene we all just watched.
The reason I say the " Gangsta Lifestyle is a Style that takes life " is because it's True ... Have you ever seen an ex military soldier survive and come out of a War ??? Imagine how traumatized that person would be with all the shit the had to see... The things they were ordered to do 😒 and for what ??? So that You can have the RIGHT to throw your life away the same way creating your own army of " Homies " just to start your own War's 😒 ... No future in that at all... It is literally playing into the Devils game of Kill or be Killed... Why you think so many homies don't make it out ??? ... I'll tell you why, it's because they weren't FIGHTING 4 anything Right for themselves... If you believe in GOD the way I do then you'll know that when you FIGHT 4 something NOBEL something RIGHT then he will give you the power, courage, and 💪 strength you will need to WIN.
this scene was shot in the tunnel at the legendary graffiti yard Belmont Tunnel I still remember that damn teddy bear on the wall at the 2:44 shot lol I sat on that couch those were the days ! korean boy from hawaii growing up a bboy in LA dope shit bruh
"FROG" aka Trinidad Silva... Awesome Actor...Truly a Star 🌟 that was taken from us too soon! "Chale Holmes! Qué onda ese!" Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Loves You! Rest Easy... RIP.
@@revolutionsoldier5889 Exactly, that's how good he was. He could adapt his mannerisms and accent to perfectly reflect an LA Latino. But he was from Mission, Texas.
But most people don't realize is that gangs like 18th Street when it first started had a mixture of blacks, whites, Latinos, and even some Chinese, do to all the politics started by the Eme, most of the non-mexican members were booted...
Jose Lemus lmao the good old 80s- early 90s gang movies when blacks and Hispanics were in the same gangs together before they put us against eachother.
Eddie Lombera naw man blacks and Hispanic relationship was alot closer back in the day. I know there was always some who didnt like eachother but not as bad as it was in 2000s. The fucked up part is it was eme who ordered all surenos to attack blacks. It aint like that in the bay area. It aint like that down here in the south. Its mostly the older emu members who are on that racist shit. I grew up in Cali and the South. I get nothin but love from blacks down south. Its different down here. Nobody tries to hit u up with that “where u from?” Bullshit
@@poketz100 Ha ha !! Well you must be one confused moreno. Prison politics are prison politics. Just like Mexicans don't fuck with blacks, blacks don't fuck with Mexicans in prison. This is way before it got hot in the streets and way before the East Coast 🦀 and F13 beef kicked off. Which the EC crabs started the beef anyway. You must not be from Los Angeles to know this apparently. The difference is that Mexicans have structure in prison while blacks just have a car in prison when they go to prison. Mexican Mafia was able to bring out the prison politic into the streets by offering protection in turn for a profit to bangers who only have two places they will end up in anyway. The EmE made their bones and set the structure for future bangers as I mentioned above. Blacks are just mad that they have no self control, unorganized with no structure like Raza therefore can't control their own group of people and always at war within each other. Easily triggered.
1:06 - Details for the style of clothing and reference to the bandanna that Mike Muir wears on his head. Mike Muir is a singer and songwriter for the band Suicidal Tendencies. The band was probably famous at the time. Some band members contained a lot of the Latin reference.
Used to be like that in LA back in the early 1900s. When italians and Irish started moving to LA they attended the same catholic churches as the Mexicans and clicked up that way. And when the blacks started moving to LA during Jim Crow these were the only gangs to join. It wasn't til the crips and bloods formed is when gangs started to become more segregated.
Dam I remember the homies i grew up with in the late 80s early 90s had names like Sixto ,Clever,Wizk ,Crook, Dammm long time ago My partners in Jr high and High school Rudy, Benjamin, Edwardo, Francisco, Sergio, Jaime, Hector , Martin , Sal , Noe, We always kicked it together even during break times had the same classes and backed each other up always !! Where ever you fellas are Hope you doing well ✌😎👍
It actually created one when they showed it up north in Stockton CA. 12 dead in the theater Blood on Crip. Funny part was Stockton got a lot of intel from those fools killing one another and pretty much ended them at least in Stockton. Then Stockton went ethnic gang problem but ain't no bloods and crips there at least not in the traditional sense anymore
Few of them I heard got injured on the set as well, buy they did their best to try and keep the real bloods and crips separated, as the fake one's got a big part in the movie, also ice T part got cut out of the movie.
Still love seen the dude from Children of the Corn in this move!! Hell yeah and what about young Mario Lopez in the end of the movie. What you know about dat!
If yall ever noticed in the movie Dodgeball, Ben Stiller throws up 2-1 mocking this movie, when his dodgeball team takes out 2 members of rhe opposing team at the same time. I always find it funny.
@Scott Sullivan He was in the massacre scene, and the scene when they got arrested. When Geraldo said he was Rambo, he was standing next to him, holding a beer.
that's the reality of it. The people that try to intervene catch a lot of crap for trying to help. They get called vendidos and get told that the cops are using them against their own people.
At 2:41 this is a entirely new scene to me?? This was left out of the theatrical release because I’ve watched this movie over 100 times and have never seen that part anywhere?
When it first came out on video in November 1988, an extra 7 minutes of footage was added to the movie, which at the time made sense of some of the other scenes in the movie...
Dennis Hopper is not underrated ever one of his films are legendary, I remember seeing this on 86 street with Ecuadorian friend who looks like Chow Young Fat , we used to smoke weed; and ate Quarters of ice cream in the theater
I was 12 years old when I first seen this movie . Why they was banging hard in all of LA ,all of Oakland became a war zone of Norte banging , from blacks DOPE slanging , turf banging it was hell in the fuking 80s .
Am I the only one who noticed homeboy got his hand sign backwards? He holds up 2 fingers on his right hand and 1 finger on his left while the others hold up 1 finger on the right hand and 2 on the left.
Honestly you have to give Frog some credit. He really did try to keep his bro from the gang life. But his little bro wanted to be just like him and bam he fucked up and joined.
Yeah but the problem with his bro is not what he’s been told. It’s what he sees. He sees frog in the gang life. And if frog really didn’t want his bro in that. Then he should’ve been working at a taco shop or tailor shop to show his bro a better way of living.
@@gaijin140 no you're absolutely right. The way it looks, frog is raising Felipe and Felipe sees Frog thinking hes cool and he has drugs and he parties does all kinds of crazy shit and he wants a part of that. Theres no parents in that household- Frog is the parent unfortunately.
I always find it funny how his character was always look stupid and high thru out the movie. But at the very end he was playing the guitar and lookd like a musician
