Q: I remember seeing Benjamin Bratt in a gang movie in the '90s. I think it was called "Bound by Honor," but I've never been able to find it since. Do you know why?
Discoverability seems to have long been a problem for this movie, thanks partly to some hijinks surrounding its title.
It was originally written and promoted as "Blood In, Blood Out," but was given a limited release in 1993 as "Bound by Honor" instead. Director Taylor Hackford says the production company, Disney-owned Hollywood Pictures, feared that the original title sounded too violent for the period following the L.A. riots.
