u have ppl in prison who have MORE RESPECT AND STATUS then real life hard working people... POWER AND RESPECT, same as support from ur gang... how many people in real life are LONELY and have nobody ? in prison that can be different... @@kabirthepunjabi
its his destiny... nobody can STEAL or take away your destiny homez... same as in islam we have Qadar: fate or destiny.. only ALlah Himself can change that.. otherwise its the same...
He really owed Miklo, Miklo stopped him from shooting spider in the head. If Miklo didn’t stop Paco from killing spider he would be the one doing life in prison and Miklo would be free. He did owe him and shooting his leg off was wrong of him even if he was just doing his Job. Family is more important then a Job and in reality Miklo saved Pacos life.
So if your family member massacred people for power and money you'd be like "yeah we familia, I ain't going to snitch on you, a danger to society, no family is everything"?
You all forget Miklo could have killed Paco and vice versa...thing is, Paco made a choice to his duty and stuck with it but still didnt kill Miklo, it evened out though cause of Paco not deserting Miklo in the car crash... However, in this scene you see Paco taking the right path again, however, he knows he'll always be tied to Miklo which is what Cruz made him realize later....this happens alot in Mexican families (ive seen it, lived it myself), so it makes it very difficult which path to choose, which is why this scene is great, it does happen and not many choose the right path...fyi 👍
I would love to see a sequel to this. 20 years later, Paco close to retirement, La Onda stronger than ever, and Miklo now the same age as Montana trying to stop the young guns as they try to take his throne.
Paco the Gang Unit Captain trying to stop La Onda on the outside. Miklo and Magic (grey haired and OGs now) holding onto a vast empire they started while the young and wild new breed attempts to muscle in. Have to get Geronimo in a short with Texas La Onda chapter!
Cos he's a a hypocrite who spouts about family and honor when it's convenient to him. Did you noticed that not once in the movie did he visit Miklo when he was in prison, also if you watch the shooting scene where Paco shoots Miklo's leg, Paco double taps and he's like "surprised Pikachu face" you lost your leg holmes. The only time Paco ever talked with Miklo when he was in prison was when he needed something that can help his career.
Well by the time Paco became a cop, he had completely moved on from his past life. When his youngest brother died that's when he completely lost any sympathy for criminals. He eventually did understood and accepted responsibility for what Miklo became at the end of the movie.
Juicy Poet miklo represented the modern or present day drug operations in LA Paco saw the future and strived towards a better one because he saw the darkness ahead. Cruz can't let go of the past of when they were all brothers and had each other's backs through everything
I don’t remember if in the actual movie Miklos eyes are shadowed like that or it’s just the quality of this video but I love the way u can barely see his eyes shows u how much he’s changed and how became the boss and the shit he went through to become what he is now shit is baddass
When I was younger I used to think that everything that happened in the movie was because of miklos actions but as I got older I realized it was all because of Paco if it hadn't been for him being a badass Cruz would never have his back injured and he wouldn't even be addicted to drugs miklo wouldn't even be in prison and most of all the more important thing Juanito wouldn't even be dead. I was a kid when I first saw this movie but now seeing this movie as an adult honestly I can say that it was all because of Paco
Joseph Mendoza miklo could’ve stopped all that bullshit when he got out of prison but he couldn’t change his ways because he is stuck with the same mentality. So nah homes you’re wrong it ain’t all pacos fault.
@Lefter Mc Why did Miklo end up back in East Los in the beginning of the movie? When Miklo and Paco were walking down the alley and they saw that tres puntos tagged up the wall, who was the one that got heated? When Paco saw Spider and the homeboys tagging it up, who’s the one that wanted to fuck them up? Paco was a selfish asshole, but Miklo is responsible for all his actions. Can’t paint this dude as a victim of Paco’s choices when Miklo was already heading down the path. This is apparent in the end when Miklo is taking with Paco about Miklo being “forced into his destiny”.
At the end. Cruz says.. " Miklos was just trying to be like you" Paco says " so your saying this is my fault?". And Cruz doesn't say a word. He just stares at him... so deep. This was a hell of a movie. I always felt like Paco was oblivious to how he effected Cruz and Miklos lives.
Tbh i stand with miklo in this scene because you have to do whatever it takes to survive in prison and protect your people at all costs. Yes miklo was never accepted and no one came to see him so he had to do what needed to be done and that is become a member of la onda!!
Miklo Velka was a tragic figure. He was so full of hate and rage due to his father's racism, and nobody was willing to accept him due to his mixed heritage. Yes, Paco shares some responsibility for how things turned out (Miklo initially going to prison for manslaughter and Cruz's back being messed up; Paco egging on Miklo to join the gang). I hate it when Paco lost his brother when he fooled around with the heroin Cruz was using. Still, it does not excuse Miklo's actions. This scene right here was as if Miklo was dead to Paco when he became head of La Onda. However, Paco forgave Miklo as well as himself. Remember, forgiveness is not about the other person, it is releasing yourself from anger and hate; Miklo will still have his woes as head of La Onda and face the consequences of his deeds. A powerful scene here with Benjamin Bratt and Damian Chapa.
Paco was a bully all his life is it no surprise why he's treating Miklo this way. Miklo is a product of what Paco made. Now he's mad at the guy for trying to survive .But in the end he turned it on him and he didn't like it
Yeah, blaming Paco, but to be honest as a man, you make your own decisions, even though I agree with most of what you’re saying through a movie perspective
“Miklo, it’s not about drive bys and gang fights no more” maybe not for u Paco, since u chose the military over prison. Miklo was 18 when he went to prison. He did what he had to, to survive.
Never used him negativity always held it down never his old ladys never robbed him nothing never turned ever ill get were im going regardless and ill always make it threw just like Sergio does
It’s not just him. It’s both of them. Paco put him in this position but milko could have walked away when he got out of prison. But paco should have known his actions have consequences.
this is why at the end cruzito tells Paco to let go of the pain and to forgive himself...Paco blames himself for everything...all Miklo wanted was Paco to be like his brother his carnal, he wanted to be paco
Anthony Espinoza no Cruz actually tattooed him bc he jacked up tres puntos car in the alley it never says who decided to give him the placaso but you never known
I hated how Paco turned out in the end he turned his self hatred on miklo and Cruz because he was never able to accept the fact that the situations that they are in were a direct result of his actions that's why after he shot miklo he went to where they crashed and had flashbacks he couldn't accept the guilt and overcome it like Cruz and miklo kept trying to get him to do
I think I wanted Popeye to have a hit put on him. He was the one who gave La Onda a bad name, f*cked everyone over, kept money for himself, narc'd out Miklo's heist. This is one of the few films where the bad guy got away. He was the one who was not a Vato Loco; he should have been the one to have the VL placa cut off.
At this point I stand more with Paco then Miklo... At some point you get tired of the drama and the life... Getting locked up (speaking out of the movie), getting betrayed, getting lost, and you just snap and say fuk it. Then you start being good according to the standards of society
Paco wasnt trying to save miklos life. He was just trying to do his job and get a bonus and maybe a promotion. "I tried to save your life and you used me." Whatever paco. Still hung up on mikos fluorescent skin.
Naw. Miklos still hung up. His entire life he tried to act hard to get past his skin color. He followed Pacos footsteps and became what Paco would’ve become. Miklo chose to kill his own mentor and continue the bloodshed.
I wouldve helped my cousin out. I wouldn't have even shot hin in his leg, he acts like the law/system are saints and is soo innocent. The law/system/government has done worst and slaughtered more.
“You got no fuckin idea what La Raza means, it about our people out there. Working, surviving with pride and dignity. Thats Raza, not lying and murdering.” Paco is speaking the fucking truth, and the fact so many comments saying he’s a sellout and a fake. Just sadly shows our ppl will never be free SMDH! 🤦🏽♂️

not that sad when you realize how powerful he was in prison.. Over 99 percent of people will Never come close to that kind of power in their life

Nah miklo is in prison for life
I think they were ,Montana daughter grows up and tries too figure out the murder
Did Popeye get his Chon Chon?
Nah, don’t ask for this. They’ll ruin a classic. They’ll make it woke.
Miklo stayed loyal to the end 💯
''that was real respect for a brother'', so true...
I never understood how Paco didn’t understand what Miklo had to go through in prison which made him into the man he became
Cos he's a a hypocrite who spouts about family and honor when it's convenient to him.

@@pelu101 yeah because he knows wasn't right either. I mean damn,this shit does happen in real life though.
And without Cruz, Paco wouldn't have came to this realization. Very powerful.
@HennesseeVol nah Paco a 🐷 if you catch my drift.
Popeye: "hey cinderella go find yourself a fella"
Richard Viade ur on the clock bitchhhh...🤣🤣🤣

And midnights coming
You got the wrong man
Look at his blue eyes just light up when he gets mad.
Paco-Future
Miklo-Present
Cruz-Past

Paco saw the future and strived towards a better one because he saw the darkness ahead.
Cruz can't let go of the past of when they were all brothers and had each other's backs through everything

Take Responsibility for your own actions, its your life, blaming someone for what you do is ceasing to exist.

Kinda surprised Paco didn't continue this relationship. He's a cop afterall. Developing informants is part and parcel of the job.
Because Miklo wasn't going to snitch for nothing. He wanted something in return in which Paco was unwilling to do. That's why.
Paco will always be hung up on Miklo's Fluorescent skin
Paco probably had inferiority complex
@@Kazak999 yep
That’s Darth Vader and Luke gangster version

Man have you seen the ending
@kenking7046 yes I have seen the ending. I saw this movie several times.
I learned a long time ago that if your current family does it make you feel like you’re part of the family you make your own family or a new one
"Property of vatos locos In case the dog catcher wants to know"
Miklo was loyal to the end
Miklo mirrors what Paco's mom says at the hospital after Cruzito is attacked by Tres Puntos: We're only fighting ourselves.
Vato Loco Forever
Jaime Pimentel vato loco
Vatos Locos + 3 Puntos = LA HONDA
Paco was a bully all his life is it no surprise why he's treating Miklo this way. Miklo is a product of what Paco made. Now he's mad at the guy for trying to survive .But in the end he turned it on him and he didn't like it
Love that part LA Raza , what Pratt said
such a powerful scene such a powerful movie
Yeah, blaming Paco, but to be honest as a man, you make your own decisions, even though I agree with most of what you’re saying through a movie perspective
they need to release the full five hour movie already.
@HennesseeVol damn wonder if i can get a copy somehow?
They have im watching it on UA-cam

Best tamales I had in 9 years vato loco
Paco was blinded by hate after the death of his little brother., he even refuse to see the guilt and suffering hes been enduring for a very long time.
“Miklo, it’s not about drive bys and gang fights no more” maybe not for u Paco, since u chose the military over prison. Miklo was 18 when he went to prison. He did what he had to, to survive.
This movie taught me family can interpreted different ways u have to pick a side
blood in blood out is the shit vato Loco
So what is the point of the phone if they can hang up and talk shit through the glass still?
in all honesty, if paco and micklo team up that would mean more power and destruction
I feel as though Paco never truly cared for miklo ..like how could he not understand what miklo was going through
The movie so fucken classic!!! Will stay a classic!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Never used him negativity always held it down never his old ladys never robbed him nothing never turned ever ill get were im going regardless and ill always make it threw just like Sergio does
powerful...
I like Paco and Miklo
when keeping it real goes wrong, ehh
Miko is right at his own destiny
I got love 4 micklo
paco is the cause for all of this its packs fault and he's blaming miklo
It’s not just him. It’s both of them. Paco put him in this position but milko could have walked away when he got out of prison. But paco should have known his actions have consequences.
"Never"
Such a good fucking movie from beginning to end
Y'all notice how miklos face looks like a half skull with the lighting
miklo a real one
I’ll always be Your Brother Vato Loco!!
That's the one of the greatest lines ever
1:44 yeah and you betrayed and had him murdered
Miklo made the decision that he would rather sir comfortably in a throne inside a cage, than to wear shackles and chains outside of it.
One thing for sure Paco Saw his old self in Miklo
Where he would of ended up too if he didnt went straight
this is why at the end cruzito tells Paco to let go of the pain and to forgive himself...Paco blames himself for everything...all Miklo wanted was Paco to be like his brother his carnal, he wanted to be paco
Isnt he the one that gave him the tattoo?
Anthony Espinoza no Cruz actually tattooed him bc he jacked up tres puntos car in the alley it never says who decided to give him the placaso but you never known

They shouldn't have killed off Montana before he got to see his daughter that was just foul of Miklo and Magic
True
It's the truth viva la raza
We need a remake or part 2
ShowtimeG 23 Fuck no. A classic like this should never be touched
Or make a reboot someday and make an epic 5 hour film this time because this 1993 film was cut and maybe twisted. Maybe 2021 or 2022 eventually
Paco told truth to Miklo. He should have listened to Montana and Paco, but he was too consumed by fear and hatred too receive wisdom.
Have ya realized they never wrote Miklo a letter lol just saying tho
Lol good point
Hard scene
Man can you upload the part where montana says chicanos killing chikanos is what they want
I came here after watching Juan's vids. Thought Vato loco has some nice chicas and sheat
At this point I stand more with Paco then Miklo... At some point you get tired of the drama and the life... Getting locked up (speaking out of the movie), getting betrayed, getting lost, and you just snap and say fuk it. Then you start being good according to the standards of society
And thats why youll always be a bitch
