they werent really claimin no specific sets in boyz in the hood so i wouldnt think that was a movie about gang life except for them dudes shootin up rickey wearin red...
menace ii society is not a movie about gangs... in an interview the hughes brothers said they specifically left out gang references to make the movie more universal, but u got Wax (mc eiht from tragniew park) and all his homies wearin blue
try movies like "colors" and "training day" which was filmed in an actual blood neighborhood (black p-stone jungle)
also check out some of those f.e.d. magazine documentary dvds or some of those dvds they sell on www.streetgangs.com
if u wanna read a really good book on gang life id say pick up "Monster" by Monster Kody Scott... that book is probably better than all the films i listed...
peace

True... It's not like these guys claim sets or anything tho. I'm wondering if there even excist movies about gangbanging?

Gang tapes, but I heard its called gang stories in the states tho

No, it's called "Gang Tapes" here as well. I'd highly recommend that to ya'll. It's a "Blair Witch-N-The-Hood" style movie where a Crip (he's from one of the Eastside Ridaz sets) decides to film his daily life. It's not perfect, but it puts "Menace" and "Juice" to shame. Also has an awesome soundtrack (Above The Law, South Central Cartel, Chino XL, Mykill Miers, etc.)

City of God, although it's not about Gnagbanging, or really big gangs, it's about kids in Brazil being in gangs. It has subtitles, though.

The Warriors
That's a classic

Banged out, it sucks but it's hillarious.
Boyz n da hood, Menace II Society, and even Baby Boy definitely have many gang ties, and a lotta shit they do and say in there is gang-related but you would have to be from LA or know a lot about the gangs to realize it. The fact that they say "cuzz" in Baby Boy shows that they are crips, but you wouldn't really know what hood they were from til you see the spots they were at such as The Liquor Bank which is Rollin 40's hood. You can look at the addresses in Boyz n da hood and tell that they are in Rollin 60s neighborhood....and people even say the title of it meant that they were neighborhood crips.....boyz N da HOOD = N-Hood = Neighborhood Crips
