Two of the most dangerous street gangs of East L.A., Il Grande Hazard and MC Forceros, called a truce to allow director Edward James Olmos to shoot the movie on their turfs.
Danny Trejo had affiliation with the Mexican Mafia, However he never joined the gang, he grew up with the guys who were members of the Mexican Mafia & he said that his uncle Gilbert was what kept him away from the gang.
Danny Trejo warned Edward James Olmos not to film the movie due to the death threats he was getting from the Mexican Mafia.
According to 60 Minutes (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.
Edward James Olmos was issued a permit to carry a concealed weapon by the Los Angeles Police Dept. because of the many death threats he received from Mexican Mafia members. Before filming began, they were under the impression that the movie was to be a favorable portrait of their organization, and were angered when the film emphasized their criminal activities.

Montoya Santana: Is that where it's gotten to, ese? J.D.: Brothers are talking about you. Montoya Santana: What are they saying, ese? J.D.: They're saying that you're not showing them anything. Montoya Santana: You know, a long time ago, two best homeboys, two kids, were thrown into juvie. They were scared, and they thought they had to do something to prove themselves. 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."
"Montoya Santana: I'm sorry to hear about Neto. Julie: I don't know what to say to you. Montoya Santana: Whatever, you know. Julie: You're like two people. One is like a kid.
