So there we go. Danny Trejo is an equal opportunity offender. Black, White, Latino. It doesn't matter. He'll beat you up.
I'll say this. When I saw the trailer for Bad ass, I had no idea that it was based off of Epic Beard man until i looked it up. People are pissed off about the race thing but that's not the only thing that's changed.
Real Life:
EBM beats one man on subway bus
Movie:
Danny Trejo beats up 2 men
Real Life:
EBM defends himself from a sissy punch
Movie:
Danny Trejo defends some black guy from 2 tough skinheads
Real life:
Man attacks Epic Beard Man because he made some comment about shoe shining
Movie: Men attack Danny Trejo because he tries to defend a black man who they were harassing.
Real Life: EBM becomes an internet sensation and does nothing significant with his life after except being tasered by cops and being taken to a hospital for evalulation.
Movie: Danny Trejo becames an internet sensation and continues to stop/prevent crimes
Real life: Epic Beard man becomes homeless
Movie: Danny Trejo tries to find justice for his friend after he's murdered and the police do nothing about it.
Real life: Epic Beard man allegedly got calls from white racists congratulating him for beating up a black man.
Movie: I'm pretty sure that that doesn't happen in the movie.
Honestly, as far as story distortion goes, the race of the characters is the least of the film's issues.
