American History X behind the scenes gags

Director Tony Kaye asked for his name to be revoked before the film was released. Because the film involved very sensitive racial discrimination and Nazi themes, and he felt that the filmmaker had distorted his original intention to a certain extent, so he was dissatisfied.
The film is the stepping stone for Edward Norton to become a first-class actor, but his acting skills have received unanimous praise from film critics, and laid a solid foundation for his future films such as Fight Club.
The director of the film, Tony Kaye, because Edward Norton had too many opinions on the set, he tried to cut the film himself without telling the director, and he repeatedly opened fire on him.
The original director was not Edward Norton, but Norton insisted on playing this role. He said that he had seen many young people who were poisoned by Nazi ideology and went astray, and he wanted to use this film to bring some young people back. In order to create this powerful role, he carried out high-intensity physical training, and finally won the favor of the director.
