So that wasn’t Rodolfo Cadena that got stabbed? Isn’t that what started the war?
There was a war between the NF and Eme years before Rudy Cadena's death. Cadena was really trying to bring all NF and Eme members together; however, there were still green lights to kill NF members in other prisons at the time. The war really stemmed from The original NF members being former Eme members and many cholos from Southern California and East La Varrios whom refused to run with Eme and instead formed and ran NF with Farmeros seen as lower class.

Back to the question though, yes Rudy was stabbed and killed by NF members because NF members were under suspicion that Cadena and Eme was setting up the lesser members of NF.
My bad, I read a lot of books and got older homies who gamed me up.

American Me was far and away a better movie in virtually every single way
I can probably imagine the argument for american me, but you might as well elaborate for us.

Also, It's worth pointing out that it Blood IN BLood Out seems to be the favorite here, even if American Me is technically the "better" movie.

Both have really annoying shit about them that out weigh the pros so I don’t love re-watching them as much as most of my friends (too fuckin long honestly) but I’d rather watch American Me over Blood In Blood Out if someone’s standing there with movie cases in hand.

I'm rarely on this site anymore but this question was stuck in my mind. I was always a fan of American Me and thought it was better than BIBO for the reasons I said before. I've watched BIBO like 5 times since and it is still really corny in parts, especially Miklo., but I think overall it's more enjoyable than AM.
More enjoyable is right. American me is a tragedy. Rape-death-the end.

I never watched watched any of those movies by Miklo except for some of El Padrino.

I watched this one for the most part (had to skip it eventually) it was kind of entertaining for a minute.


The one barrio movie that I do watch pretty regularly is Road Dogz

It’s got two of the actors from American me, and two from 187.
