Vatos Locos FOREVER!!! Blood In Blood Out (1993) Reaction FIRST TIME WATCHING!!! 

Yo man. My grandfather was actually the one who did all the paintings in this film and he passed away 2 years ago. It really warms my heart to see people still enjoying this timeless classic as well as his art decades later. Much respect.

Those tears for Lil Juanito was genuine ❤💪

Two years ago a couple of homies were talking about this movie in our group chat. I said I had never seen it and they IMMEDIATELY send me an upload of the movie and said "WATCH IT. NOW." Three hours and many tears later, I hit them up with a "YOU WERE RIGHT." Vatos Locos Forever 😤😤😤

This aint a Cult Classic, this is a Hood classic. As a kid growing up in East LA, this movie is everything to me

The best lesson you can take from this movie is even small actions that we do can have life long effects.

Probably my favorite movie. It has everything in it. Ive literally watched this probably 500+ times. Its timeless. The biggest crime is that they never made a sequel.

“Sorry no tortilla” “Give me some chon chon” “I’ll be here!” “Hey Cinderella go find yourself a fella” “Get outta here before I make you my bitch” “I’m gonna lick you clean…. Do it bitch” 😂😂😂 this movie has so many memorable lines.. i feel like this may be most quotable movie ever.. a true classic.

Paco did influence Miklo, but when Miklo got out he was a grown man who made his own decisions. During the heist, Paco told him to give him the gun and that he would help him out, but Miklo ran. Also: This movie never fails to make me bawl like a baby.

This movie was a huge part of my childhood. As a Hispanic boy from a bunch people who came to this country as immigrants this taught me not to follow some of my cousins into gangs. I watched it all the time when I was like 5 years old.

It's 2023 and I still drop a "Vatos locos forever, homes" when I see a few of the homies.

Mad respect for choosing this film. Definitely one of my favorite. So many well known actors early in their careers. It's a damn shame more reactors don't choose more of these race-based drama films because the stories in them are so amazing and insightful into those cultures.

I usually don't like too many jokes during reaction videos, but this guy is actually funny.

“You think you use brotherhood up like a shot of tequila? You drink it down, burns, makes you feel good, and then you’re left with the hangover the rest of your life.” This hits different when you’ve lost brothers fr man. You a real one for reacting to this, best react channel on yt fs 💯

Leo went from "everyone should help each other" to "Black and Brown!"

Miklo wanted so back to be seen for who he was on the inside instead of his white skin and blue eyes. He found that acceptance behind bars and did what he needed to keep it. Paco evolved so deeply in this film. And Cruz ended up an addict to deal with his back injury and ended up continuing his habit to numb his pain after he was overwhelmed with guilt about Juanito’s death. Amazing movie and it’ll forever hit me in my soul. Even as a Black woman I felt this film from the first watch ❤

This movie came out when I was still in high school. I’m 50 now. My friend won two tickets to the premiere along with two posters with the original movie title “Bound By Honor” It’s still as good now as the first time I saw it.

this movie is HEAVY DOPE. a great film that is supremely underrated. thank you for getting into this one. Jesse Borego (cruz) was in 1 episode of fear the walking dead, and absolutely stole the show. guy is SO INTENSE...

When I was younger, I found this movie late one night on HBO. I starting watching it and got into the story. Not knowing this movie was 3 hours long. The time flies because the story and acting is so good. My favorite line is " Know what I mean Jelly bean!".

This was my platoon's favorite movie when I was in the army. I'm from LA (818), and one of my best friends was a Mexican from East Los. It was only a couple years after the movie came out. He showed it to me, and we showed it to everybody in small groups. Within a few weeks, everybody in my platoon, most of whom were white, were quoting dialog from the movie and calling each other "ese" and "carnal." I miss those days...

I looooove the fact that this movie is getting noticed 😢... I've watched this countless times with my cousin and I still watch it from time to time.

Man such a classic and memorable movie to the Mexican American community growing up. Must have watched this 100 times over the summers with my bros and cousins, great reaction my guy loved the reaction. I also have to add American Me is definitely a must watch and is based on basically the same story. Both are inspired by the true story.

You're officially a Vato esè. Congratulations. One of the best movies to ever come out. Please do Men of Honor next please Mr. Video!

“SORRRRYY NO TORTILLLAAA” best line in the MOVIE😂

This movie is a huge part of my young adult life. As a Mexican we all watch it

It's so interesting how Miklos and Paco start the movie as complete opposites and take over eachothers roles, Paco becomes an officer and Miklos turns into the delinquent.

This is my childhood ❤️ I grew up there and many of the scenes hold so much nostalgia ❤️ Fantastic movie and it hold a special place in my heart ❤️

they did such a good job of catching a tortured artist. Cruz is listening to abstract jazz, his paintings are dark and depressing, he looks so defeated when he turns around. The scene between Cruz and Paco screaming at each other is one of the best scenes ever made so much pain coming from Cruz.

Leo is killing it with these movie reactions. He's over here having hella fun and I love it lol. Big ups on watching this flick, it's a whole classic to so many people.

fun fact: 26:50 "Gilbert" is the actual artist who did all the paintings in the movie

- “DONNIE BRASCO” - (1997) - “A BRONX TALE” - (1993) - “CASINO” - (1995) - “SCARFACE” - (1983)

The part of Cruz is played by Jesse Borrego. He is also a dancer and singer. He played the part of Jesse in the TV series Fame. I was use to seeing the dancing and singing side of him, so when this movie came out I was shocked by his portrayal of Cruz.

“I don’t even know what to say…. The Ayran Vanguard has been insulted” that shit had me dying 😂😂

I've been requesting this for close to 2 years glad you finally watched this classic please watch "American Me" which is similar except they used real Gang names and the directors and actors lives were threatened over the making of the movie and story. Think of it as Boyz in the hood vs menace II society same kind of story but a bit different all great hood classics

This movie had everyone in it. Ving Rhames, Benjamin Bratt, Delroy Lindo, Billy Bob Thorton, Danny Trejo, Richard Masur, Chuey is Tuco from Breaking Bad. Biff from Back to the Future. Even Wallace...used to be Earl the Postman in That's My Momma and a hustler in Good Times and What's Happenin. I saw Montana in the play Zoot Suit in Hollywood, playing opposite Edward James Olmos back in the 70's. Olmos went on to make American Me which is a bit more accurate and scarier story about the Mexican Mafia. They even murdered an advisor on the movie. It's a sad one.

Whoever did the editing on this video, deserves an Oscar. This was awesome 👍💯

This movie is so special and close to so many people that I grew up with. Cruzitos performance is Oscar worthy and I stand by that. I hold this movie in a higher regard then GANGS OF NEW YORK. Although Daniel Lewis is a phenom , this movie is the complete package. A legit broadway should be made from this movie.

This movie is hands down the best movie for memorable lines, the most lines period! It's littered with so many in almost all the scenes and after I watch it, I just zone in on my favorites and just repeat them like a parrot. I'm 100% I'm not alone on this one!

If this came out today.... the actor who played Cruz would've got an Oscar. Real talk. Great reaction!

I really enjoy your reaction to this movie, funny and emotional. Blood in Blood out is one of my favorites movie ever

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!! LETS GOOOOOOO. Also my favorite part of the movie is the last scene with Cruz and Paco “That’s who we are. Three Vatos Locos, full of carnalismo, trying to survive in a fuckin’ war zone. But what I know, bro, is I need my familia to do it. We all do, even you, pinchejura. Bad ass cop! Hey, don’t back a way, vato! Life is a risk, carnal! Remember? You said it yourself. Pues orale! Step into the ring and thrown down, ese. You a badass? Take care a business, ese. Caiga, puto! Cause we’re from East Los., ese! We came out chased by hounds! Huh? Round and round we go, wearing a pinche rabbit’s foot for luck, just ahead of the hounds. Quiubo!” -Cruz Hype’s me up every time

I love this movie. It's been, probably, 10 years since the last time I've seen it but I used to watch it regularly ( when I had it on VHS ). Crazy to see how many well known actors were in this. "Colors" is another really good gang related movie.

Man you just witnessed a timeless classic brotha. Whats crazy is in prison there was inly the few main actors the rest were real life san quentin inmates.

"No llores vato, don't cry" Fcking love this movie

I laughed so hard with you at 1:04:05 when Wallace says “I’ll be here” that part makes me laugh so hard “I don’t care who that taco eating mother f was”😂🤣 love the reaction Leo, how you cried for Juanito😢😭 Love from Texas🤍😘

Such an unexpected and memorable story. The movie does a very bold move halfway through, turning Miklo from the main character to exposition for Cruz and Paco, and ends in a perfectly human way: The two of them mourning Miklo's foolishness, but okay because they have their own lives.

This movie changed my life. It was the first time I saw the world for what it was. It taught me that not everything is black and white, but confusing shades of grey. There is a little bit of Paco, Cruzito, and Miklo in all of us.

Big Al roasting EVERYBODY in the chow line is one of my favorite scenes in any movie. 😂

Damn good reaction. I grew up on this movie and still watch to this day. 💯

My boys and I watched this movie in the theaters back in the day. We played basketball after. I want in for a layup and my boy Alex blocked my shot and yelled “GIMME SOME CHON CHON!” I laughed we laughed so damn hard.

Bro your reaction was absolutely so amusing and hilarious. Being Mexican and watching you enjoy this flic and be genuine warmed my heart mad love and respect brotha

Best quote in this reaction: "So you could just jump out of Onda just like that? I thought it was blood in, blood out?!!" LMFAO

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REACTION!! Thank you from a proud Mexican brother 💯

Brings back memories of HS and watching this with my buddies.

Damn bro 😂 I’ve watched this movie about a million times but this is the first time I was cracking up so much from your reactions 😂 good stuff

“Get tha fuck outta here b4 I make u my bitch”, i luv that part 😆

Bless you leo. Saying that we all need to come together and be equals. Sharing is caring! Unfortunately that's not the world we live in. But it's always nice to see people like leo have a heart of gold 💛💛💛

This movie is like The Godfather in where you watch it over and over to always find the same lines spoken but you understand then better each time. 20-30 times I've watched this. Seeing you react to it gives a fresh perspective. You caught on to the story quick.

So glad people are discovering this killer film. Me and my brother discovered this movie late at night way back when on HBO. We were hooked right away. It’s an epic saga. 👍 love your channel brother

Paco's partner is Tom Wilson aka Biff from Back to the Future

Early on in your video I couldn't help but have a huge smile on my face every time you kept pointing out how Paco is a bad influence for Miklo. It kept making me anticipate how things were gonna play out later on in the film and to see your reaction haha

went to the cinema with a mate, no idea what this was about we thought we would just kill some time. Mind blown and came out of the cinema is something i will never forget, that feeling. I had the same feeling when i was ten years old and went to the cinema with another mate, first time without parents, and watched original Ghostbusters. Then we ran out played Ghostbusters as we ran through the streets, and finally we bought a hot dog each and went home. Good times.

I’ve seen that movie hundreds of times. Even now I watch it a few times a year. Now I have to watch it again after seeing this. Every Hispanic person I grew up with had seen it multiple times. It’s an amazing movie! Every time someone says they haven’t seen it I have to watch it with them.

The guy in this who goes into play Tuco in Breaking Bad, is such an underrated actor

I'll be honest, usually I only watch you take on silly films, because you're often so goofy in your reactions. Idle Hands, Jackass, that kind of thing. But when I saw you'd done this film, I knew we were both in for a ride. This one hits hard. One of the writers of this movie (and supposedly the largest influence on the final version), Jimmy Santiago Baca, was a respected Chicano poet who had done time in San Quentin, and a lot of what ended up in the movie is based on his own experiences. The director was a respected figure in film making, who had previously done An Officer and a Gentleman. The movie was filmed in part at San Quentin itself, using actual inmates as extras. There was some serious power there. The three gangs in the prison, La Onda, the BGA, and the AV, are based on three real gangs, the Mexican Mafia, the Black Guerilla Army, and the Aryan Brotherhood. A lot of people focus on the flaws of the movie, and there are flaws. But many more find something in it, and it's become a significant film to many in the Chicano community. Back when it came out, I was the movie reviewer for my college newspaper in Fresno, CA. The producers wanted to preview the movie in Los Angeles, but they were worried about it because of some real-life events going on at that time, so they decided instead to do it in the second-biggest gang city in the state, Fresno. They held a press screening, where about 10 or so of us (reviewers) watched the film, and then immediately after we went to a conference room at a local hotel where they had two big, round tables set up, and a really nice Mexican buffet. They divided us into two groups, one at each table, with empty seats between us. They then brought in Hackford, Baca, and a good chunk of the cast (I don't remember exactly who was there, but I know it included Damian Chapa (Miklo), a then-unknown Benjamin Bratt (Paco), and Enrique Castillo (Montana), because I specifically remember talking to them sitting next to me at the table). This was a group of people who really seemed to believe in the film they had made, and were proud of it. They also all seemed like really nice people, so it was a bit odd to be sitting next to them and chatting over some nice food immediately after seeing them portray such intense characters in the movie. Definitely a memorable experience. The way they told it, they had shown the film to some people involved in the Chicano gang culture there in Fresno, and one young man broke down in tears, saying that what he saw onscreen was himself. The film remains important to many people. I'm glad you watched this one, and took it seriously. At three hours plus, it's a long journey, but it's worth the trip.

Loved this movie as a kid... One of the BEST CHICANO movies ever made!

Dope reaction to this classic film!!!! Most chicanos can relate to movie on so many levels. This film portrays how a lot of young chicanos really live and type of things they really deal with. From being kids and kicking with the homies and gang banging to all the way to Miklo being in prison. Not sure if you’ve watched it but American Me you should do next.

Hell Yeah! It is always great to see a big time reactor getting to a gem before others. I think people don't realize this film exists. Another classic I don't see getting reacted to is American Me (1992) and the Warriors (1979). Although this film is not about gangs, the film Bloodsport (1988) hasn't been reacted to that much. At least, not as much as I think it should.

Bro I spent one night in jail….one. When I got bonded out I said I’d never do any stupid sht to get locked up in any way. That was one of the worst experiences ever just being in there knowing I had NO control over my own life.

From South Africa 🇿🇦 watch this as a teen in highschool was a great movie but years later watched it again and understand what this movie is really about.

I once heard the phrase every latin woman has listened to Selena. Every latin man has seen Blood in Blood Out

This my all time favorite movie no questions asked. I have watched this movie over 100 times no bs. Watching your reaction is great cuz you felt it for the first time all the emotions it brings out throughout the movie. I don't think there's a movie that makes me feel like I watched some of my friends growing up in the 90's. Great reaction I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Man... I've seen this movie dozens of times, but I gotta say your commentary took it to a whole other level!! Damn I was laughing my A$$ off on your early Paco comments. Great watch and I'm definitely hitting that subscribe!! 🤜🤛

This is the best movie of Disney produced, but they are ashamed about it. "Carnalismo" is the name of the mural in east LA

"Paco looks like trouble and miklo looks like a good guy tho" Me knowing whats gonna happen ☠️

Stay strong Leo don’t let the man hold you down!! 💪💪🔥🔥This movie was crazy!! definitely glad you posted this one.

Next after this one is American Me followed by Mi Vida Loca(My Crazy Life)

This movie is so POWERFUL! I've watched it more than 20 times, and it has the same emotional impact on me every time i see it. A TRUE MASTERPIECE!

At 22 mins 45 seconds…..”everybody tryna get some a Miklo;this ain’t that type a party…!”…nice call dude…😂

From watching how to train a dragon to this?? Holy shit! Im in! 😅👍

i cried for juanito too bro.

Thank you for watching this one man. I grew up on alot of hood movies like Juice , Boyz N The Hood & Menace II Society...but as a Latino seeing this one it connected a little more because I had family members that acted and went through similar situations like in the movie (drugs , jail...etc.) I know it was a long one but I'm glad you thugged it out! Haha long time watcher. Great reaction

🇸🇻 My respect to you homie seeing your reaction on this film you kept it 💯 from beginning to end....

A Legendary Movie 💯🔥🔥

I've seen this movie more than 100 times. The barbershop has this movie on every single Friday. Every single one. Thanks for the laughs.

Bro! No lie. I've watched this reaction video 3 times lol. You can't help but to get sucked into the storytelling of this movie with each character and I can see that you enjoy it just as much. This is definitely one of my top 10. Watch it again on ur own time and you will still enjoy it as much as the first time .

Thank you for doing this movie...you might not have been the first but your reaction has been anticipated for this one...

I LOVED your reaction to this classic. Your commentary was ahhmazing, I enjoy how immersed you get into your videos.

Gilbert is Adan Hernandez is from San Antonio the artist who drew these paintings

Love your reactions homie. I appreciate you took this one more seriously than usual. I could tell you really got into the storyline

This movie is such a classic!!!! Amazing story!!! Amazing acting!!! One of my faves since I was a kid!!!!

“GIMME THAT CHON CHON!”😂

"Get up Chucky"!!! 😂😂😂

This is one of my favorite movies 🇲🇽🇺🇲, growing up i was always into the gang world i wanted to be a King until my uncle told me too change my ways before it's too late and Cruzito speech at the end woke me up

This movie is a classic! I still watch this movie til this day cause this is what I grew up with! Great reaction bro!

im white but raised around mexican people it was a must watch thank you for this mi familia

Our own Shakespearean drama. These stories repeat and relive up and down California.

This is the best reaction video I’ve ever watched. Mr. Video plus your a stand up Vato and your heart is in the right place. I really enjoyed watching your reaction you weren’t biased and you kept 100. I just wanted to commend you homeboy. Keep up the good work.

I can't believe you watching this bro, this is one my favorite movies of all time 🔥🔥🔥💯

It gets crazier in real life! At one point early in the real Mexican Mafia (La eMe) days one of the founding members was a Croatian American Joe "Pegleg" Morgan. He was raised in Boyle Heights (East L.A.), talked like a chicano too. The movie "American Me" is loosely based on the history of "La eMe". American Me came out a few months before Blood In Blood Out. It's sort of a part 1 because it tells the story of how the prison gang "La eMe" got started. In Blood In, the prison gang "La Onda" already exists. And yes inside can run the outside, hence Surenos and Nortenos. It gets deep brother. People got hits put on them that were involved in the making of American Me by La eMe, they were offended by some of the scenarios in the story that were twisted, without their good graces. Plus they used real gang names and gang members as advisors (some advisors were eMe drop outs that had been green lit prior to the movie for dropping out). That's why Blood Out used non gang names and had an eMe approved advisor for the movie. 3 puntos in English means 3 dots (.: or mi vida loca) usually tattooed on the hands or upper cheek by the eye. Vatos Lokos means Crazy Homies. La Onda is The Happening. We use it as Que Onda or What's Happening or What's up, as a greeting or to acknowledge. Good review 👍.

What’s cool is they use like less than 10 actors in San Quentin and the rest were actual inmates
