The kids were real Delinquents.


The kids in this film were real delinquents,all of them with criminal records,
there lifes behind the camara was as seen on the screen.Today none of them live,they all died victim`s of heroin,aids,car accidents or shot by the police.Soon after the film was over El Torete was arrested and sentenced for robbery.He got hocked on heroin and died from aids at the age of 29 in 1989.He was never recognised as an actor,as he continued his life of crime,until the day of his death.
R.I.P

The commentator says: "why couldn't they have made even one of the teens a decent human being". The answer is simply, because that's the way things were at the time. It is always much more impressive the reality. The spanish filmakers didn't know yet how to ruin a good history to make it more commercial.
