ROSALIND CASH WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN ANY FILM SHE WAS EVER IN 😍. I had the pleasure of meeting her back in the day at a party and instantly FAN BOYED her 😍😍😍. She was so gracious and sweet to a love struck 23 year old kid. RIP QUEEN 🙏
sun rah 44 : i strongly agree. Very pretty even when she left us she was a stunna.
Right on bro
and she could ACT her ASS off!!
She was in Tales from the hood too
Rosalind Cash was a great actress I loved her in everything I saw her in. There is a TV movie written by Maya Angelou entitled Sister, Sister with Rosalind Cash, Diahann Carroll, Irene
Cara, Dick Anthony Williams & Paul Winfield, they were so wonderful in it. I have watched it several times and cry each time I see it.
Philip Micheal Thomas is FINE ! 💪🏽❤️✊🏽❤️👊🏽❤️😻

Oh yeah 💯😁🙌🏽‼️
He was aging well too. I'm not sure what he looks like now.
Yes I have a weakness for men with beautiful eyes. 😁❤
Get ahold of yourself Sabrina
RIP Rosalind Cash
RIP Frankie Crocker
I loved how Frankie Crocker would end his shows with a little Moody..."There I go , there I go, there I go..."
Larry McCormick, too (d. 2004); Huge fixture on LA TV News back in the day.
This will put some cut in strut

Michelle Moseley 😆😂🤣
Tee Forrest sure will i have an 69 yr old aunt that let my grandparents ruin her life!! Now all she do is say “i wish i would have never listen to them”-true story...
Double Toasted brought me here
One of my favorite actors and I'm named after him PMT is the man 🔥
I've been following this channel for awhile wouldn't it be nice if BET showed more content like this. The past couple of days the content has been awesome
BET isn’t Black owned. Appreciate the love.
They used to. Old black movies all the way from the '30s and '40s and had a lot of diverse programming until the early 90s.
This is part of the new Black media. Television is dead. We have more control now than we've ever had in the past. Stop watching BET, hit SUBSCRIBE, and #SHARE.
The reel bet right here
Yeah PMT was phine but he ain't no LUTHER🎼🎤💞😂🎶
I remembered this movie back in 1980 when i was in 9th grade in which my late stepfather emphasized to me as we were watching this on tv,"dont you ever get involved drugs cus what you saw here sets a deep example". Unfortunately by high school 10th grade i hung out with the wrong crowd and started doing marjuana which was as far with a drug i got involved with without letting him and my mother know. However just only 2months after that still in 10th grade at 16,i had decidied on my own to not do it no more and stopped hanging with the wrong crowd. I felt better about it and thank THE LORD i didnt become addicted where it wouldve eventually land me in prison,homeless on the streets or dead. Young pepole; if youre reafing this or seeing this classic 80s movie,stay away from drugs and alcohol! No rewards out of them whatsoever. Use your gifted unique mind to get you to your dreams to excel in life. Not serving life in prison,streets or the cemetery.
Phillip Micheal fighting alligators under the influence of Angel Dust,whoa.....good post.Never heard of this movie.
This one beautiful, intelligent, talented man. Goodness, have had a crush on him since I saw him on Miami Vice, when I was 7!!!
Gap Band did the music in this also. Right on
Yes sireeeee
Make me wanna produce again
@@spazdaangrymf3541what type of music did you produce
never trust someone who talks like a used-car salesman while offering something for free. #schiesty
"Kid, you're gonna have so much goddamn money you won't have time to spend it!"
That's how you knew they were gonna screw him over.
@@ADSuri but he was crickets about where that money is gonna lead him. #plotandscheme
What about the drug dealer? U hear how he broke it down lol?
Bama was prescribing like a doctor lol...
@@spazdaangrymf3541 he said why dont you smoke it with me. The drug dealer said no. But he felt comfortable giving it to other people. Pos
Rosalind Cash rocking that natural...awesome !
I like how they showed the contempt and disdain the dealers had for their customers, even though the dealers smiled in their customers' faces like friends would smile. That's deep. Some dealers aren't quite as open with their dealing: never leave your beverage unattended, and never accept an "aspirin" for a headache from anyone.
Not to mention the dealers who would sell their clients products laced with weird stuff (like baby powder) to make more money.
I did not even know that Phillip Michael Thomas had even done this 🍿🎥/movie/ excellent job to him, the cast members as well
Me neither! I don't recall this ever showing on UK TV. It might have, but I doubt it
RIP Oscar Williams
Vernee Watson never got her just due as an actor. Loved her as Will Smith's mother on The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air"!
Chato Wilson You should had protest 😀 3-21-2021
And Benson's sister
everything she did was also fire. correct. hollyweird be so drat racist.
EXACTLY
George Jefferson's secretary, Antwone Fisher's Auntie too.
I had a crush on her back in the early 80's.
I saw she and her friends coming from the slot machines, carrying their cups of coins in Atlantic City's Golden Nugget the night of Arguello vs Pryor II.
She was too far away otherwise I would've attempted an introduction.
Really appreciate this
Glad Bro Phillip was about empowerment
Thank you for posting this movie! I LOVE Rosalind Cash!
I’m glad that I discovered this channel. Been watching these movies every night.
A Throwback Thursday classic from 1978...❤️🎵🔥
OMG! I've never seen Vernee Watson-Johnson so young! I only remember her playing Will Smith's mum on Fresh Prince. What a beautiful lady!
Oooooooh. I had the biggest crush on Philip Michael Thomas!!!! I will be watching.
GREAT MOVIE REELBLACK THANK YOU
I wasn't expecting Rosalind Cash in this and looking so gorgeous, wow!
Classic from 1978 & 1985.....❤❤❤❤❤
I loved me some him in "Sparkle"!
Me too 💯 That's my favorite role of his 💓‼️
@@HoneyHoneyBaby Mine too 🙂 March 21,2021
Me too.
Me too
Thank you...A life learning lesson...It reminds us to stay on track...Indeed.
HE SHALL FOREVER AND ALWAYS BE MY 1ST. CRUSH "STYX/SPARKLE"❗
My favorite movie for life❗When vedio stores had rentals, I rented SOOOOOOOO much they ordered it for me❗VHS ALL THE WAY ❗💖💖📍
Mine too!! Loved Styx....
Mine too
I saw this film when I was a little girl and swore to never do drugs and that sh#t worked.
Yes, this film had me and brother shook too!
That's one hell of a drug
@@justacup8676 Right. Respect to those who have overcome addiction.
Ricardo Tubbs was a cop, but he really wanted to be singer. This was his life before he went to Miami to work with Detective James Cockett......
Lol 😁🤣‼️
I remember watching this movie when I was about six yrs old with my father. It was quite scary to me. He wasn't wise enough to realize the affect it had on my mind at that time. I was not able to process what I was seeing in this movie. I can remember clear as day feeling uncomfortable but not knowing what to do, how to feel. I just sat and continued to watch. Thanks for posting. I did want to see this as an adult. Now that I can understand & process.
I'll never Forget it...
Still Turned out 2 start
Using cocaine in 2015 until
Now smh... I no my pops
Disappointed in me but been clean
Almost a month now
Keep the upload coming sis🌷
I never thought I would see this again. I saw it on tv in 78 when I was 15. I remember girls talking about it at school the next say. I don’t remember the Gap band being in it. Probably because the songs from that album didn’t hit radio till 79. Nice upload tho
I told my daughter about this movie and how it was INSTRUMENTAL in myself and my sister being deathful afraid of PCP an any other drug for that matter!! To see this type of behavior from someone after using drugs was all the proof I needed!!
Probably been said before, but the intro added to this movie is very Troy McClure.
Yes omg 🤣🤣
Love this channel
Good movie, good message, ❤Philip, good actors,
Oh wow! The Chief Rocker, Frankie Crocker was in this?? I miss those days listening to him on WBLS in New York. Rest in Paradise, Frankie.
The Gap Band!!!!
Oh wow I remember when this first came out. I had just came from watching penitentiary at the movie's then came home and this was on classix
Michael is a very good 👍 actor who brought the Story ALIVE 🤔
@reelblack glad you're back😘😘
Its an everyday struggle. Thanks for the love, YaffaYah
Yoooo just a heads up ... FUN FACT: Dis was an actual song & vid dat came out n the 80s... "JUST THE WAY " PMT was the vocals on dat song.
Trippy music video fr lol. 70's was a weird time.
Surprisingly well done for a drug movie of that era
*Wisdom, Knowledge, and Understanding*
Who woulda thought the Gap Band liked to tease Tubbs like that!
Hip to the Whack!
Phil Michael Thomas Legend
Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs from Miami Vice!!!
Erik yessir a true Legend
Based on The Gap Band's major label debut album back in 1979...💕🎶🔥
GREAT N INFORMATIVE 🎥
Shout out Frankie Crocker (RIP) and The Gap Band!!

even as a teenager, that "performance" @ 27:15 struck me very odd, especially with the symbolism.
ILLUMINATI?
so...dude was able to break-free from some handcuffs, but didn't have any blood after getting bumped by a car that so-called "killed" him?
eddie jonz .....and how fast was the car going?
😂😂😂🤣😅
Where are the great actors we use to see like Phillip Michael Thomas.

"talking incoherently" aka talkin' crazy.
Awesome Death Drug movie!!
Wisdom knowledge and Understandin
Very underrated movie
This channel is the truth......✌
39:47 music is hella funky 🔥🔥🔥Gap Band - Open Up Your Mind
Vernee Johnson - Watson in this film. ❤❤❤
I just had lunch yesterday with writer-director Oscar Williams! He was in great form and had some fascinating anecdotes to share about the making of this film.
Awesome! I would love to meet him. Is he hard to contact? I’ve been looking for info on him for years.
A m so glad that in real life this did not happen to Phillip Michael Thomas
I hope people are realizing that some drugs are illegal for reasons.
Mechanized warfare is still legal, so I think I reserve the right to do any drugs I please. I have to know my personal limits and be responsible, or else it could easily go wrong.
@@jacehendrix3194 There are dangers of using your body as a test subject. One reason is that you can get addicted to a drug that you know is poisoning you.
@@jacehendrix3194 it takes two puffs and you will end up naked in the street punching cars and you're in jail. It happened to my ex. This isnt something you can smoke and enjoy resposiblibly. This ain't even coke.
@@xbxbxb5814 not everyone has that kind of person within them when they smoke pcp. Ive never had that kind of freakout. I think certain people do, though
Even the pusha who gave the dope was disappointed in the singer moral of story no to drugs
I thought this guy only did Miami Vice (In which he was awesome). In this time s of troubles and viruses, this channel is such a breath of fresh air. Please can we have some Sidney Poitier, please. He was responsible for some really great films for three decades. Also Woody Strode ( the tough guy of his generation)

Philip Michael Thomas was in the original Sparkle film and he also sang beautifully in it.
The woman playing his wife I like her beautiful/talented etc....
23:32 This part is heart wrenching
🚬💣WAIT So he just gon sit up n da club & smoke DUST❓❗DAAYUMM.🎇🔥

WOW! WOW! WOW! ❤
Oh wow, I have the Atlantic 12" of "Just The Way I Planned It", it got some radio and club play back in the day.
I had came across this movie 🎥🍿/yrs./ years ago, at first/1 st did not know about it
Such a sad story. To many people with talent get hooked on drugs.
My mother was in this movie it use to be called Wack attack
Wow, kool. What character if you don't mind?
@@williamdaniels9337 She was an extra dancer 15:16
@@RealTalkTV2 Your mom is beautiful 😍‼️
Phillip Michael Thomas is so da..!!!! fine!!!!

how many times has a band performed their songs on a 'made-for-tv movie'?
What song is playing while PMT is on the keyboard? Anyone know?
Sad but sometimes funny movie!
my fav youtube spot
This was filmed in 1978! ❤
This actor, PMT, completely disappeared from the scene.
Dope movie but I just watch often because my Pop's and PMT had a strong resemblance so watching this I'm looking at my Deceased Pop's young and healthy. R.I.P Pop's
The song/video would get played on the local video show here in NYC. Hot Tracks.
Heavy.
Drugs really messed him up ...he had a great future ahead of him.
Don't smoke that Sherm.
👍🏾✌🏾📺🎥🎬
Miami Vice 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✊🏾
