(Can Anybody Help me)Soundtrack Question?


Theres a scene were a character who I think is Clive (I might be wrong) walks into a fast food joint and tries to pick up the girl working over the counter. Now what I want to know is what is the name of the song that comes on when he first steps through the door and notices the girl.

the character's name was TC and he would always go see Mona at the greasy spoon everday at lunch time, but the name of the song was "I wanna get next to you" by Rose Royce

Thanks, I've been wanting to know that for some time now.

does anyone have the exact location of the Car Wash ?

reply

The Trivia section for this movie clearly states where the Car Wash is....


The main location of this film was an actual Los Angeles car wash a few blocks from McArthur Park. It was torn down in the late 1980s. While it was open, the marquee of the car wash announced it was featured in this film.


Doesn't anyone know how to use this site at all??????? rofl..

I think the actual cross streets and/or address is the answer needed. I can't find it anywhere.

Found it! It's on 6th and Rampart in West Los Angeles. Check it out on Google Earth and look at the street view. The car wash is gone - it's now a little strip mall but you can tell it's the same place. The "Asbury" hotel is still there and so is the sign! So is the "Big 6 Market". :)

And I think Barbershop pays homage to this movie by including
"I wanna get next to you" by Rose Royce in it.
