    • Trivia
      The five "Bloods" seen throughout the movie in present-day scenes are named Paul, Melvin, Otis, Eddie, and David. These are also the individual names of the five members of African American vocal group The Temptations. Their fallen "Blood", who was the leader and inspiration for the others during their days in the Vietnam War, was named Norman. Songwriter Norman Whitfield produced virtually all of The Temptations' music during their time at Motown Records during the '60s and '70s.
    • Goofs
      The amount of gold in their backpacks is much too heavy to be carried and tossed around as shown in the movie.

    I wanted to like this movie
    I was so excited that a new Spike Lee movie was out and wanted to like it so badly, but at the end of the day, this movie is just bad. The plotline becomes as advanced as a Disney movie (but with more blood and gore) and some of the casting choices were absolutely awful. It was disjointed and the quality overall would be expected of an amateur, but not someone like Spike Lee. I still gave it 3 stars for its display of several mental issues that veterans suffer from, but I wouldn't spend the time watching this one.

    FAQ2

    • Is it coincidental ( I doubt it....) that 5 of the main characters are named after the original Temptations?
