    Storyline

    • 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.

    As a Fourth Infantry grunt I found this film to really be a misleading view on the race relations in Nam!
    It's a shame that Spike Lee had to ruin what could have been an interesting take on the Vietnam war! As a ground pounder through 67-68 we all functioned as brothers in arms and backed each other no matter what race we represented. We fought together, cried together and laughed together. I wish they would have looked at facts vs myths when it came to putting this on the big screen. In light of what's happening in our world today this movie lacks truth and moral consciousness!!

    FAQ2

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