But in the meantime if you want a better movie with a similar topic check out Romper Stomper. It's a little ditty Russell Crowe did before selling out.

Romper Stomper is a pretty good film as well, but I wouldn't say it's more powerful or better in any way than American History X. Just my opinion.

I think he's been blackballed by the industry. You don't sue the Director's Guild and a major studio for millions after your very first film and expect to ever work again. The last I heard about Kaye was that he was directing an acting workshop that Marlon Brando was putting on. Kaye and his friends were disruptive and causing problems with the workshop, and Kaye even showed up dressed like Osama Bin Laden for no reason one day (?). Brando eventually fired him.

The more the guy does, the more it seems that New Line probably just made the best of a bad situation.
