Dammit, you beat me to it.
Both Blood in, Blood out and American Me, were really shot in San Quentin and Folsom prisons, with real convicts as extras.
Notice that they both had white-boy cholo characters who had a leg shot off and got prosthetic limbs?

Orale guey! Yeah, William Forsythe did a good job playing a whiteboy cholo. Ive known a few in my time, and his performance was dead-on. Forsythe's accent, attitude, and demeanor was completely Chicano. On that same note, Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa (Shang Tsung from the MK movie) played a great Asian cholo.
That movie is also known as "The Mexican Goodfellas" and understandibly so.

I really didn't like American Me. Had some decent parts, but wasn't engaging in the least, for me. The part where they set the guy on fire was pretty ****ing awesome, though.
Yeah that scene was pretty dope, ey. I remember seeing American Me on TV a while back and during that scene I noticed that they didn't censor the part when he says "Pinche maiate".

😂
I wonder if they had spanish speakers at the network who would tell them?
I've seen two versions of Blood In, Blood Out too, one where only the long sentences are translated into english, and another where every little word from heffe, to vato, to ese, was put in english.
