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.
Quiero verlas Bro can i see Broo
Major respect.
What was his name?
@@oktober4803 Adan Hernandez
@riffz6065 Thanks, amigo! He was a very talented man, and I love his artwork.
Miklo wanted so bad 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 ❤
Awesome insight from a Black woman. Didnt think it'll hit and be understood by someone outside our demography, since it focuses more on Latinos than Black and White, but I was wrong.
@@AspiePilo82 much love and much respect 🫶🏾
I’m Mexican who bang back in the 90 s and paco becoming a cop Would’ve never happened Does the only thing I don’t like about the movie Other than that it’s OK
That's something to really be proud of bro. Take pride in that.
Those tears for Lil Juanito was genuine ❤💪
I know right 😢
That was award winning acting
Denzel who? 😭
My boy was lit on that henny thats why.
@@willapple8145facts
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.
The best lesson you can take from this movie is even small actions that we do can have life long effects.
Facts IKR
It’s called the butterfly effect.

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
@@cardo.orozco1929 you don’t think this movie was too getto?
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.
For real. I know this movie word for word
I have not seen it as many times for sure, but I knew it was a classic first time I saw it over 20 years ago. I dont even consider it a movie movie, its on a different level artistically, very crude and real. Not the typical "gang movie" or action or whichever. As much as everyone likes to say it, this one is honestly true; they don't make movies like that anymore. But then again, I haven't seen many since or before. Like a mix of Menace to society and Godfather. The gang life and all of that as well as the continuity and longevity of Godfather in the sense that you get to see them evolve, change and become someone else. A complete life, not a glimpse or a glance of a week or 2 years. The length as well. It is pretty much a gangster epic; i probably came up with the term now so definitely a unique movie!!
I feel like they should’ve just kept it as it is, I mean making a sequel could’ve been good but this movie alone is just a masterpiece a sequel can’t beat it
@@anne2real763Maybe a sequel now could make sense with them as much older gentlemen. But I also dont see how a good proper sequel to this film can be done.... As it was said many times Paco' beard and long hair looked like crap, other then that the movie is simply perfect (but perfection aint of this world so... gotta find 1 thing wrong with it lol)
Sequel woulda been trash ...this is a classic, good thing they left it alone
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.
True, would be very dumb to still live in paco's shadow. But then again he didn't know he changed and went to marines until he got out. Makes me wander, why didn't Paco visit Miklo in the first place.
@@wildmike85 Survivors guilt maybe?
@@gachoman2012 maybe, but Paco was a real asshole too. He did start the whole shpill telling Miklo to do something that night he smashed the car window, also his brother cruz wouldn't have gotten ambushed. But beside these things, it's still a very great movie. I have to watch it time to time.
@@gachoman2012you owe me vato loco!!
PACO CONSTANTLY gave Miklo shit for being white, not being "Chicano" enough ! All Miklo wanted was to be accepted by his Latino side of his family. PACO built Miklo up, got him shot & locked up , then SHOT MIKLO
& tried to them him into a rat!!😅 PACO is BUSTER! That being said I LIVE THE CHARACTERS IN THIS FILM and Bemjamin Bratt killed it as Paco,. Just saying the character should have let Miklo go instead of SHOOTING HIM IN THE BACK!
It's 2023 and I still drop a "Vatos locos forever, homes" when I see a few of the homies.
Big Al loves when you talk like that ☺️😜
@@heywoodjablowme8120la onda don’t shine shoes
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 😤😤😤
That’s what’s up put my friend on it too she loved ittt
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.
Absolutely groundbreaking.
One of the first great fascismowoke films made by hollywood. This film revolutionized how to talk down to Who-Aight people and see yourself as oppressed.
Man get this ray-cyst film outta here
@@fyfyi6053 oh boo fuckin hoo white ppl were mentioned negatively? You gonna cry? 😢😢🤡
Same bro same but born and raised here in the states but same with not following that stuff
So true…i watched this movie religiously from 13-18 years old and helped stay out of the cholo lifestyle.
@@fyfyi6053 if you’re main takeaway from this movie was to stay bullying “who-aight” then you COMPLETELY missed the point 🤣
I really enjoy your reaction to this movie, funny and emotional. Blood in Blood out is one of my favorites movie ever
“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 💯
This is one of the most racist films ever made
For those who enjoy this film I have a lot of questions.
@@fyfyi6053 how? give me your line of thinking, i’m one who enjoys this movie.
@@fyfyi6053 more like realistic, unfortunately that is truly how the prison system is and the world has a lot of racism, this story just diaplyed it openly.
@@fyfyi6053 You think it's racist b/c you probably white and hate how we minorities actually see things. But ya, film is racist.(sarcasm)....
There's absolutely nothing racust about this film. You are the racist here.
I usually don't like too many jokes during reaction videos, but this guy is actually funny.
“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.

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.
The original title was blood in blood out the M made them change that.

This aint a Cult Classic, this is a Hood classic. As a kid growing up in East LA, this movie is everything to me
Orale,,,,,!
Barrio classic
It's both!
Don't think you understand the meaning of cult classic,
no reason to say it's not.
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...
Lol I love it homes... I'm Mexican transplant from Long Beach to Michigan and I die by the mitten I'm a Michigander through and through.. but it's dope how we all different and come together on some random shit 😂
Leo went from "everyone should help each other" to "Black and Brown!"
He literally went "black power!" Lol

This movie is a huge part of my young adult life. As a Mexican we all watch 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...
Facts, one of the most underrated movies. Should be included in the top 100 films of all time if not top 10. One of my personal favorites.
@@briansearle6868 We all know Big Al is your favorite.
He was also in dexter
Umm it’s bound by honor aka blood in blood out
He’s also has very small role in Con Air
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.
He is actually listening to little wing jimi Hendrix.. the uploader changed it to herbie to avoid copyright strike on the video.. he mentioned this in the comments
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 ❤️
Me too. Some of these scenes reminded me of walking home from school.
Do you ever go back to the mercadito?
Me too. Grew up in Aliso.
Queen, when did you first watch this movie, how did you first hear or learn about this movie? What intrigues you about this movie? I'm just curious. Thank you Queen.
Deana hicks you have beautiful eyes 😍
"No llores vato, don't cry"
Fcking love this movie
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.
Pretty sure American me never happened, that was just a movie
@@KillbotSw Yeah, it was totally based on nothing at all, and nobody suffered any consequences for it.
Yo. This the story of chicanos. Mexicans have their own thing inside. It is hard for people who don't know or didnt come out of east los or other Chicano areas to understand the Chicano story.
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.
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.
I notice Miklos was always trying to fit in somewhere. Paco always had that alpha male / older brother type of attitude. And their other brother seemed to have an addictive type personality, which probably was probably a positive factor in his determination in his craft of art, but the negative side was that he got into drugs too.
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!
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!".
I still use that line 😂
EXACTLY how I found it. Watched it a million times since.
The OG film was actually 5 hrs. long. Never released
When I was a kid at a children's home the evening shift houseparent brought a copy from blockbuster video in for all of us to watch at like 14
That was your favorite??l
What about “just a fucking minute your majesty! This ain’t the joint with 3 meals and a cot! This is the streets homie!”
Or “no pintos for you baby! Nun but Texas barbecue”
Whoever did the editing on this video, deserves an Oscar. This was awesome 👍💯
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!
La onda don’t shine shoes
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.
Machete & Marsellus Wallace... entire cast is awesome.
He became a cholo too 🤗 14:00 true 😢
Omg, I 1st saw this movie at like 2 in the morning on a summer night in like 96 having no clue what it was. Now I've seen it, literally, like 25 times. Your reactions are so on point 😊😅

I remember watching this movie on pay-per-view when I was growing up. My best friend's parents at the time had a black box and all the pay-per-view was unscrambled and I used to watch this movie over and over again
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
Some people were more than threatened for American Me. There were actual murders in and out of California prisons over it. And an actual hit was put on the actor Edward James Olmos. Danny Trejo "Geronimo" (who was in prison. And was acquainted with the leader of the Mexican Mafia) from Blood in blood out. Goes into it on in an interview on Vlad TV.
I second this. American Me is next level because it’s based on that true story. The behind the scenes rumors are crazy.
@@cardiac19 they weren’t rumors. The documentary on American me explains it all
@@vantes323vantes3 yeah I know. I was trying to be pc I guess.
Loved this movie as a kid...
One of the BEST CHICANO movies ever made!
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.
If this came out today.... the actor who played Cruz would've got an Oscar. Real talk. Great reaction!
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
Texas Forever!!
You ever pick grapes Wallace?
Lmao Wallace was great in his brief scenes.
La mejor reacción que e visto de corazón este hermano es muy gracioso buena vibra positivo compa , saludos de south américa 🇨🇱 pa toda la gente latina ❤
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.
Your reaction was awesome, brother! I have been watching this movie for 25 years and you made me laugh while you were reacting to it. Subbed.
Big Al roasting EVERYBODY in the chow line is one of my favorite scenes in any movie. 😂
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.
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.
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.
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.
You left out Valente aka ernie from the George lopez show.
Edward James Olmos screwed up being arrogant and wreckless and that got multiple people killed by offending the Mexican mafia by using the name.. This film created all 3 different names for real life gangs and it was that simple to avoid scrutiny.
They actually murdered 10 people from that film due to the incorrect portrayal of some La Eme members they took offence and acted on they're emotions as they aren't people who take theatrics of they're lives being portrayed as weak and wrong they had to take proactive measures in order to save face
So Gilbert at the art gallery paper was the one who did all the painting for the movie.
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 Really enjoy your reaction 😂😂😂 greetings from Mexico, by the way what a great movie
Damn good reaction. I grew up on this movie and still watch to this day. 💯
This guys reaction is hilarious good energy bro id watch a movie with you anytime
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
💛💛💛
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
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
At 22 mins 45 seconds…..”everybody tryna get some a Miklo;this ain’t that type a party…!”…nice call dude…😂
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.
I once heard the phrase every latin woman has listened to Selena. Every latin man has seen Blood in Blood Out
Man I’ve been quoting this movie on the daily for at least 15 years 😂 best movie ever!
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.
So basically “poor bastard, we pretty much fucked up miklo’s life, but we were only kids. O well! Come on let’s go home!”
@@LilXancheX That's how life does. The villains of your early life are now either nothing or just normal people. Some of the ones you never thought of at all are massively rich and powerful.
Shout out to you dude you understood the movie. Shout out to my people que Viva La Raza the way God wanted it
Brings back memories of HS and watching this with my buddies.
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
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!! 🤜🤛
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.
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.
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.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REACTION!! Thank you from a proud Mexican brother 💯
you cry for brother crucito, you are big person and you heart is big too, i dont know english fine, but since ESTADO DE MEXICO saludos carnal
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.
Hey man Great Reaction video!
Much Love & Respect From Argentina!
😎😎😎
🇸🇻 My respect to you homie seeing your reaction on this film you kept it 💯 from beginning to end....
Im enjoying watching this dudes reaction more than im enjoying the movie!!!😂😂😂😂😂
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 .
Love this movie! It was really well made. The Art is Incredible, RIP Adan Hernandez. Really enjoyed watching you react to it, it was fun. You made this movie even more fun to watch. Viva La Raza! East L.A. miss you. Sorry Leo but go COWBOYS. Go back to 26:50 the guy who played Gilbert, is Adan Hernandez the artist. He had a small acting part, but he’s art was the star.
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.
The stupid Chicanos 😂 hard work entrepreneurship taking care of your family is a real "Chicano" man
Out of all the reactions from other reviewers,you have the Best Reaction to the “Chon Chon” scene out of all of em 😂
And I’m glad that you are legit the only one who understood why Miklo went to prison the first time(probation violation) an hoping to finish the probation when his birthday was coming up, before dusting spider.
It was so great to watch you enjoy this movie!
Paco's partner is Tom Wilson aka Biff from Back to the Future

Mad respect for choosing this!! Bad@ss reaction man for real, if you want to know there's going to be a part 2 of Blood In Blood Out👀👀🫱🏽🫲🏾
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!
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.
I'm honestly really happy you got to interact with these amazing actors at such a time after this was filmed
Miklo sent Montana to get killed and he sent the fake message Miklo was the only one who knew Montana was there. Montana became to soft so the only way for la Onda could survive was for him to get taken out 😢
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
