Well that's how he said it. I thought it was Eddie King myself but he said it differently.

I bought the 15 year anniversary edition a few years ago.
Yall gon make me pull this thang out Friday night with
a bud lime light and a chicken wang in my hand.

BTW, what the fuck happened to Bobby???

At the beginning, he's running with Eddie after the poker game, gets shot in the leg, and we don't hear from the Negro again!!!

That was a big, gigantic ass, Pink Elephant sized plot hole!!!

Why did he stop performing with the Heartbeats???

Was Eddie's performance at the talent show so great that they fired Bobby off-screen???

Did he quit after being shot in the leg and therefore, he wasn't able to dance???


WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO BOBBY?!?!??

They just forgot about him. Once Jimmy saw how great the FIVE of them were, they were like to hell with Bobby. Hell he might've gotten killed. It was probably cut but let's see... one of his legs got shot and the other broke after he ran over the car. That was it for him.

Timmy84 said:

LOL, he couldn;t dance no mo, so he was out.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Yeah I wanted to add that. His legs got fucked up so obviously why would they use him?

Plus they were already having a problem with him anyway, Duck was beyond pissed:

Duck: "Bobby's not here?! Why does he keep doing this shit? He knows I wrote all of the music in five-part harmony!?! FIVE-PART HARMONY!?!"

That just reminded me, the Dells originally had six members but cut to five because the guy didn't wanna be part of the group. But it wasn't because he got shot after cheating on a gambling game.

I thought it was interesting that the light-skinned pretty boy of the group wasn't a womanizer. I liked this character and I enjoyed looking at Harry Lennix, with his cute self.

Damn...so it would have been "The Six Heartbeats"?

DesireeNevermind said:

Technically it was the "Five Heartbeats" in the movie, Eddie wasn't an "original" member. That never got explained.

Timmy84 said:

sure didn't...he was just there. wasn't he playing cards or shooting craps in the beginning of the film?


Poor Eddie Caine. He started out up to no good.

DesireeNevermind said:

Yep lol

DesireeNevermind said:

We're gonna have Eddie KING tattooed on your forehead so you'll remember!

I thought Duck was the one who wasn't technically in the group. He just wrote the songs and played the piano.

See, it's plot holes and unexplained shit in this movie that fucks with me!

DesireeNevermind said:

Oh no!!! Eddie Kane, Jr. sounds so much better though, has a ring to it, a better flow.

I'm going to pull mine out this weekend too!!!

Timmy84 said:

Ahhh sho' u right Timmy, SHO' U SO RIGHT!!!!! I forgot about that.

DesireeNevermind said:

But how could have Eddie had a person who was "just there"? I don't know if that makes too much sense because if that was the case then why did he slide in the talent show singing? I mean sure they all looked shocked and confused once Eddie came in, well RAN in rather, but they sort of all fell into place. How in the world did Eddie know the words to the song then? I bet Eddie was like a shadow person for when Bobby didn't show up to gigs.

Paris9748430 said:

See I never thought that Duck was never technically in the group. But you right about the plot holes. Like it was never explained
1) What happened to Bobby? (although Timmy sure gave some good explanations for it)

2) How in the world did that stuck up girl (Tanya) all of a sudden seduce Duck into dating her and JT into fucking her?

3) Where did Babydoll go when she left Eddie? (That scene was classic when she laid him out all calm then left him sitting there looking stupid with the cocaine on the table)

4) What exactly was Eddie's role in Jimmy's death...specifically? They just gave like a broad explanation. You know he made some kind of deal with Big Red as far as his contract went("Eddie is the Heartbeats, all the other guys can be replaced...you know that Jimmy") but it seems like Eddie inadvertedly was involved with Jimmy's death in some way too...kind of like how Fredo was inadvertedly involved with the hit on his brother in "The Godfather". Just sayin'

5) How was Dresser the only one who found out about Eddie's deal "With that Red son of a bitch!!!!"???? It sure was funny when he was beating Eddie in that alley and then in the middle of it he fell all on top of him.

My all-time favorite movie

Ahhh... memories...

GREAT film. I think I've seen it like ten times.

Giovanni777 said:

I think I've seen it at least 50 times.







No, I'm not joking.

missfee said:

I'm betting he was too. Like they only use Eddie if Bobby was late to gigs. But I think Eddie running in and grabbing the microphone singing like that was more than unexpected for them like "oh...OK, let's go along."

The KANG

missfee said:

Yep, he was either a shadow person or an uncredited co writer of the songs. Or maybe he doesn't have a heart so technically it really is The Five Heartbeats on account of Eddie being a walking dead person/zombie. He sho did look it sometimes.

I like when Big Red showed up to their crib with all those pimp caddies and yells...."What color U want!!" or was it "Wit color U Want??!"


I'll take the yellow!

DesireeNevermind said:

It was "what color you want?!" And then he did a laugh similar to Morris.

Red was sho nuff sexy! Him and Flash coulda got it...that is...if they were real people and I was a grown ass woman living in the 50s/60s.

"Big Red" now:

Age and smokes probably.
