Re: AMERICAN ME
THE PRODUCERS FUCCED UP BY NOT SHOWING THE TRUTH AND REAL STORY BEHIND THE MOVIE. THEY SHOWED RUDY CALDENA, (EDWARD JAMES OLMOS) GETTING SHANKED BY FELLOW EME MEMBERS WHEN IN REALITY HE WAS STABBED BY FAMILIANOS IN CHINO HALL. THAT STARTED THE BLOODY WAR BETWEEN ENE'S AND EME. NO WONDER THE MM HAD A PRICE ON PEOPLES HEAD. THAT DAY IS STILL CELEBRATED BY FAMILIANOS.

I just rented this movie last night to watch again after 10 years.
I saw the documentary that is in the DVD format. The gang counselor Ana seemed like an attention whore to me along with the fat guy that gives all the info on "MCFORCE".
Is MCF still active? It sounds more like a tagging crew. Is the fat guy still around??
Does anyone have more information regarding why the EME was upset with Osmos and what happened to the people involved in the filming?

Re: AMERICAN ME
I just read the EME timeline that LoneWolf posted; All I've gotta say is what's up with all of the times Joe Morgan escaped from Jail? Lol. From the age of 16 right up to his death, about all he did was make a complete ass out of the California Penal system.

American Me 1992 with Edward James Olmos
I can tell you now that if an actor takes the time as James did for this.. You can bet he is at the top of the heap. I deal with alot of the actors.. while MOST are really cool... You get some that are total jerks. Great to know that someone of James level takes the time. Speaks alot about his character.
