I'm 26 so I was born in 94" and I loved the 5 heartbeats! I actually thought they were a group!!!! An I remember mr. Townsend from meteor man!

[@pringles0111]

One of my favorite parts in the movie is when Red comes to the managers funeral knowing good and damn well he killed him, then tried to make a pass at the wife and she 👋 slapped the hell out of him 🤣😂😂😂

[@charminanderson6325]

Five heartbeats my favourite movie of all time. Knew all ths words to all the songs. I just loved that show

[@simonsez1787]

Donny... 🤦🏾‍♀️ How you don’t know who Michael Wright is. He a whole GOAT. Donny’s not a cult fan, clearly.

[@veef.moraless3020]

Exactly🤦👌😣😣💯💯💯💯

[@tschampionconnectiontriple5974]

I watch these movies about once a month easily, Temptations and 5 Heartbeats

[@glitterfalls1]

THIS MOVIE WAS ONE OF THE GREATS. THAT WILL ALWAYS LIVE ON IN BLACK HISTORY

My daughter just discovered The Five Heartbeats oh my God every day she is like I did when I was a child it look like time has repeated itself.. but I know all the moves

[@borntolove9376]

It’s been thirty years my children when man the became of age saw this movie and the can’t get enough every so often whew are watching it over and over it was a awesome movie. What an outstanding cast.

I'd like to see Robert write and direct a movie biopic about Prince.

[@smoothbro9711]

One of my favorite scenes is the Big Red my office hours are scene ..... 9 to 5 ( in my crying voice) lol

[@curtismichael4703]

I was surprised to learn that the movie didn't make money at the box office. I remember the theater was packed when I saw it. The documentary was both enlightening and entertaining.

[@renecooper4403]

The Five Heartbeats is my All-Time Favorite Movie!😍

[@mynameisirrelevant46]

Big Red.."My office hours are from 9 to 5" !!! Perfect casting..

I first seen this on TV I believe, then VHS...found it on dvd..finally after awhile finally got it in Blue Ray. Excellent movie

[@renbur8223]

Legends.

[@dayaaron87]

So glad that they chose Leon over Keenan

[@derekseven1647]

Leon could play Marvin Gaye NOW. He looks ALOT like him.

[@JukuduB]

Its not actually that they look alike. They both have a smooth, cool /handsome appearance and style. I think that is where the similarity lies.

[@loveaisles8620]

@@JukuduB no Marvin was Smooth but rough and high looking at the same time , they're nothing alike.

Has Robert ever talked about his role in Cooley High? I've never heard him address it.

[@Cancercrooks]

When he did 5 Heartbeats, Michael Wright name changed to Eddie Kane.

[@RealestatePape]

Damn I ain’t know rob had done all this in Hollywood Amazon and inspiring too be Black keep pushing brotha ✊🏾✊🏾

[@johnmshaw49]

Eddie King Jr. , Not Eddie Kane. Got to say it with a country accent

[@squireboi318]

Right he says it as Kang not Kane, being saying this for yrs! Smdh

[@jawayne224]

When theaters open they should re-release it. See how much they can make. They deserve more

[@4knewt505]

It's now a rite of passage for family members. We make sure the kids know about the movie and understand the contribution of black directors, film makers, and actors. My cousins and I actually speak our own language of black movies, Color Purplian, Five Heartbeats, and others. This is our culture and we won't let Eddie Kang die!
