Montana was convincing enough, I was more refering to characters like Frank Lopez, played by a white, American, red-headed actor, just given an awful orange tan and painfully fake accent. Doesn't grind my gears or anything, I like this movie in all its cheese. I just think 30 years later, you should probably go a little more legit and hire real Latinos for Latino roles. No need to go blackface anymore (or orangeface).

Great movie, was one of my favs back in high school. Miklo Velka is one bad mo fo. Just fyi for anyone interested, I discovered during the winter that the entire movie is on youtube in parts. Obviously not the best quality (standard youtube 360p), but its there.
