Because King of the Avenue involves drug dealers and gangsters, it’s easy to draw parallels to Scarface andThe Godfather. The only thing that’s different is the supernatural elements.

While the Devil doesn’t try to hide who he is in King of the Avenue, the film credits him as "Natas." As he was played by Puerto Rican-American actor Esai Morales, who was recently Deathstroke in Titans, a Latino-sounding name makes sense. But Natas is actually the backward spelling of Satan. This too makes sense, as Satan is one of the many names ...
Whether a film is good or bad, continuity errors will be present. While filmmakers are supposed to make sure the shots are consistent, it can be difficult to keep track of every element.

Looking at the above picture, it appears to be a typical beach on the coast of Florida. However, this beach is actually in Puerto Rico, which is also where King of the Avenue was filmed.

In addition, Rhames starred in other films made by King of the Avenue’s director Ryan Combs,including Caged Animal (akaThe Wrath of Cain)and Mafia (2012). Along with both films featuring Rhames as an ...
While Natas is arguably the ultimate bad guy in King of the Avenue, there is a minor villain named Hector. Played by Hemky Madera, Hector is a Mexican gangster whom Taz tries to make a major drug deal with to become King of the Avenue. Interestingly enough, Madera was also in Weeds, which was ongoing during the same year King of the Avenue came out...
Because King of the Avenue has Latino elements, it’s interesting to note that Craig Chapman (one of the producers) was also a producer for Chef. Released in 2014, this culinary film tells the story of a restaurant chef who decides to run a food truck after being fired. Aside from the foods inspired by Cuban cuisine, the chef’s food truck journey be...
Though King of the Avenue is not a bad film, its director Ryan Combs is arguably more interesting. Born in Compton, California, Combs's parents and friends died as a result of drug-related violence. Combs managed to avoid that lifestyle and eventually formed his own film company called Ironhog Motion Pictures. Since then, he’s made several films re...
