Movie: Born in East L.A. (1987)
Tagline: This time Cheech is not just on the wrong side of the law. He's on the wrong side of the line.
Trivia: The theatrically-released and home video versions cut the entire ending short (about 15 to 20 minutes of footage). In this version, the appearance of the priest standing behind Rudy and Dolores in the last shot of the film is never explained. However, censored versions of the film, such as the version shown on Comedy Central, have the entire ending intact in order to fill out the film’s length, which was shortened by cutting other scenes that were not suitable for regular television.
Goofs: Continuity: When Rudy is working as a tattoo artist, four “bullet hole” tattoos suddenly appear on his client’s forehead near the end of the scene.
“Rudy is an American of Mexican descent who is caught up in an immigration raid on a factory. Deported to Mexico as an illegal immigrant, he has no way of proving that he is in fact an American citizen, and is forced to rely on his cunning to sneak his way back home.
