Quotes
Sad Girl: When Mousie and me joined our gang, all the names were taken except Mousie and Sad Girl. Everyone said Maribel should be Mousie cuz she was so little. Sleepy said "No stupid because then we're gonna have to name Mona Sad Girl and she's not sad at all." Rascal said "Stupid , it don't matter." Sleepy was mad and kept saying "She's too happy to be Sad Girl."[cut to Sad Girl sitting in a chair with a baby in her lap]

At the time of filming, most of the cast was made up of unknown actors, some of whom were actual gang members from Echo Park (such as Danny Trejo). It also includes the first film appearances from Salma Hayek and Jason Lee, in small roles. That last point makes the film important in its own strange way.
I suppose you could see this film as something of a follow-up and answer to Dennis Hopper's "Colors". Set a few years later, it covers some of the same ground, just on a lower budget.
