- CuriosidadesAccording to 60 Minutos (1968), three people who acted as consultants on this film were later murdered because of the depiction of a homosexual rape scene that reportedly deeply offended the Mexican Mafia's machismo. The victims were: Charles Manriquez (known as Charlie Brown), a Mexican Mafia member and unofficial consultant to the film, killed on early 1992; actress Ana Lizarraga, a community youth counselor and official consultant to the director who was shot in her driveway in front of her son and her boyfriend; and Manuel Luna (known as Rocky), a former gang member who also worked as consultant, killed a year after the film's release.
- Erros de gravaçãoThe lingo/street talk many of the gang members use didn't start to be used until the late '70s or early '80s.

And they did what they had to do. They thought they were doing it to gain respect for their people, to show the world that no one could take their class from them. No one had to take it from us, ese. Whatever we had... we gave it away. Take care of yourself, carnal.
