Angel Town Movie

One man was wounded by gunfire and several others injured when rival gang members clashed Friday night at the Pacific Highway 39 Drive-in Theater during a screening of "Angel Town," a movie that depicts gang violence in Los Angeles. The identification and condition of the wounded man, who was rushed to the UCI Medical Center in Orange, was not immediately available. Westminster Police Lt. Bob Burnett said a brawl started during the movie.

In the wake of weekend shootings at two Southland drive-in theaters showing the gang-related film "Angel Town," two exhibitors decided on Tuesday to discontinue showing the film for a second week. AMC Theaters pulled the film from three of six Los Angeles-area theaters, while the Pacific Theaters chain discontinued the run at all six drive-ins where it was playing. "Angel Town," which is about a kick-boxer who takes on a Los Angeles gang leader, opened fairly strongly on 40 screens last Friday.

Weekend gang shootings at theaters showing the movie "Angel Town" prompted at least one local drive-in to pull the film, authorities said Sunday. "Angel Town," which stars Theresa Saldana and Olivier Gruner, is the tale of a former kick boxer who moves in with a family living in gang territory.

Fearing a repeat of a Friday night brawl that led to the wounding of an 18-year-old suspected gang member, the manager of the Hi-Way 39 Drive-In Theatre decided Saturday to cancel the weekend showings of a newly released movie that depicts Latino gang life in Los Angeles. "We will not be playing it until further notice," said theater manager Joan Ruth. Saturday and today's showings were canceled.
