I look for the writing on the wall and where they filmed some scenes. There is one scene where they jam up some crips in the van, but you see ES18 and you can tell they are in Sereno, there aint no crips in Sereno. RSL is up alot on the scenes with 21st.

Are you talking about the script and the story line? or the locations?

the over use of fully automatic weapons aint the way people really die in the streets. I think less than 10 percent of all murders are the result of automatic weapons, but they certainly played that up in Colors.
