Such an amazing performance by Jimmy Walker! Just heart wrenching! James Earl Jones! Wow! All of the cast made thus such a captivating movie! Tears, tears, tears!.😢
I had an English teacher who once told me that "The great story isn't the story of a conflict between two men but the conflict of a man within himself." Very few actors played that conflicted man as well as Mr. Jones did.
Wow!!! I didn't expect to get emotional with this movie. Exceptional acting between Debbie Allen and Jimmie Walker...... also Tamu Blackwell who plays Jimmie Walker sister was also exceptional.
* Same year "White Shadow" came out. * Debbie played heroine addict and JJ's Fiancee' in 1976 * This movie came a year after "Piece of the action", with james earl jones looking the same * Tamu Blackwell (playing his sister), was also in "Piece of the action", "Claudine" & "Good Times" w/Shirley Hemphill (from What's Happening), robbing the Evans family. Luv her acting.
Jimmie Walker and Debbie Allen work very well together this is the second time I've seen them working together Debbie Allen is an outstanding Actress every movie I have seen her in Amazing and very Talented
thank you for posting this lost movie. Loved the proud James Earl Jones playing the token black supervisor who was so afraid of losing his job he treated work like it was more important than life. Lived with a racial scar his whole life. Ostracized by his black friends for being an "uncle tom" working for whitey. Missed his son's whole life because of his job. Happens everywhere. Just ask Sylvester Stallone. Family has to be more important than your job as we see in this movie. Life is precious and our family legacy matters.
@@Biggdoom344 oh WOW! Never knew that. I knew Esther Rolle & James Amos wasn’t thrilled about his character. I watched an interview where Jimmie Walker said, “when cameras weren’t rolling they never spoke to him”. Offset they weren’t friends at all. That’s sad!!
Love Debbie she and Phylicia are very talented, beautiful women. When I saw her in this picture it reminded me of her quest appearance on Good Times as JJ's drug addicted girlfriend.
Jimmie didn't get the credit he deserved for being able to play more serious roles like this one. I've seen interviews where he said "JJ" pretty much ruined his chances of getting other parts. He said he's come to grips that he will always be seen as "JJ" no matter what part he plays. Too bad because he's a very talented actor.
He did that to himself! Esther Rolle had told him and producers to stop being so comical all the time and he wouldn't listen . He allowed them to pigeon hole him into one aspect of his character and that's buffonery. Then, when he decided to be serious it was too late. He arrogantly ignored others advice
@@I-AM-BELIEVERit also kept him employed. Cut the bullshit. He didn't have leading man looks and also did stand up comedy to supplement his income. Like Family matters with Urkel, Good times had ratings because of JJ. Calm your militant ass down 😂😂😂
Oooh, forty years on! Debbie Allen is a very young 28 here and Jimmie is only three years older. I'm watching this totally for that What's Happening? era.
Yea Ms.Allen do an interview talking about that's how she got to play his love interest because she was on the Good times show and he wanted her to play his love interest in this film
I admit I never saw this movie before but looks like a great performance by all. Even though Jimmy was always labeled as JJ and this was filmed toward the end of the Good Times run, he really embraced this serious role well. If James Earl Jones, one of my all time favorite actors didn't fill this role as the father, I would say the late Adolph Cesar would have been a close second.
I WAS 7 WHEN THIS AIRED I REMEMBER MY DAD AND MY MOM COMMING HOME AND AFTER HOMEWORK AND DINNER WE WATCHED MY 2 SISTERS AND BROTHER ON THE COUCH AS A FAMILY WATCHING 😁😁 RIP DR IRVING STEELE AND BARBARA STEELE ✊🏾✊🏾 YES MY FATHER WAS A DR OF INTERNAL MEDICINE BACK THEN DR HUXTABLE WAS NOT THE FIRST BLACK DOCTOR 😂😂
You now, I never thought about being something that others were, I just simply liked the show just because it had stories that meant something to me and could learn from and the truth is I didn't want to be a doctor and so I was not influenced that way. My life was simple because I was learning and didn't have time to dream about being a doctor or lawyer in this society. It just was not for me and so when people make a big deal out of this I understand it and know that it was someones dream of us, everyone can't be for a broken Dow system that will is set up so that they win all the time even if it is a win win they still when when they were wrong period. This does not mean. I will not be able to encourage others who want this dream, Nevers hater just was being real about who I was and want I could do in the moment.
My first time seeing this movie and MY GOODNESS!! I really loved it!. Jimmy Wakker made me do a little crushing on him. I definitely would have been that girl to take care of him. When he had the press and curl in "Good Times", I started looking at him a little different..and to see him act in a serious scene made me be blown away. I don't know what he's like now but the younger Jimmy Walker can take me out for some hot chocolate any day.🤣 Im 53 and just now seeing his adorable side. 🤣😉
The women walking with Jimmy at the beginning of the movie was also on Good Times on an episode where the Evans Family won the Lotto, and she and a young Shirley from the show What’s Happening tried to steal the ticket.
I've never heard of JJ or Diana, and I've never seen Star Wars, but --- Lady Aberlin!!! I clicked on this video at random, knowing nothing about it, and it has Lady Aberlin!!!
Like everyone said: great performance by Walker. It felt very real when he played the sick man. The dialogue and editing could have been tighter, but overall it was a really nice performance.
Yeah cuz the way this world is everybody has flash flash people showing their whole body is just a whole new different situation y'all know what it is but back then everything was a little innocent people are just coming out and wasn't all exposed now everything is exposed can you even see the houses on the street they are actually houses no vacant houses yeah way back in the day I'm a Saturday to childpeace out people good times with my show still lives Fred Sanford all y'all all schools don't know what the business is Jesus loves you love yourself and God
Beautiful Movie….Never heard of this….I’m pretty sure Mrs.Debbie Allen Nixon and Mr.J Walker friendship goes way back to Good Times…I was 6 or 7 yrs.old when that show came out…But, when Mrs. Debbie first appeared on one of the episodes…I had a crush on her and didn’t know what a crush was🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tamu and James Earl Jones played the in Claudine. Boss Hogg was JJ's boss in a Good Times episode. Tamu robbed the Evans family in an episode. Kevin Hooks played in The White Shadow.
The brotha who's pic is on your page and shot jj on the good times episode also was the brotha on the what's happening episode when rerun joined the cult.
I LOVE YOU ALL SOOOO VERY MUCH JIMMY WALKER FROM"GOOD TIMES", JAMES EARL JONES, YOUR VOICE IS INDEED A GIFT FROM HEAVEN, KEVIN HOOKS, AND DEBBIE ALLEN ALL OF YOU "GOT MY VOTE", I HOPE THAT YOU, WHO ARE STILL HERE WILL GET "BORN AGAIN BEFORE YOU LEAVE THIS WORLD...JOHN 3:16 THIS MESSAGE IS FOR EVERYONE, FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVE IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE...JOHN 3:16...ACTS 2:38 THEN PETER SAID UNTO THEM, REPENT, AND BE BAPTIZED EVERYONE OF YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS, AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST.

Debbie Allen played J J girl friend on ( Good Times) but she was on Herion and jumped out the window, cause Thelma took her, Purse with Needle and Herion.
any movie with JJ Evans in it is good this is a real classic people keep your head up to Jesus we are all here for a purpose laughter is good for the soul peace be still amen
This reminds me of August Wilson production, Sometimes we watch stuff randomly, the British have Kitchen sink realism and this is an impressive film about life, no one is running around wearing a cape, I love the Debbie Allen character, i ve always looked for her type of love, she loved , she was on a whole other level on her performances
Great movie! Enjoyed seeing Jimmy Walker in serious heartfelt role. He still has the sincere, good heart. I just wanted to see him suceed. Didnt like how something held him back- reminded me of how he got so close in Goodtimes.
Kobe Bryant DOB 8-23-1978, born same year this movie debuted. Every time I heard the announcer say "COLBY" I heard something else! R.I.P & Never Forgotten, Kobe, Gianna & Friends.
This was a great movie. Except for the basketball scenes. At that time, youths dying in movies was kind of taboo which is why he didn’t actually die, but was gonna die. It hit on a lot of topics. Leukemia which at that time was a child killer, a single father, racism...it was implied he was better than the white kid playing ahead of him, a father and son who didn’t get close until death was imminent, and a father who was so afraid to lose his good job that he worked on xmas.
Why does he keep getting those flashback memories from the past? because they are suppose to mean something which I'm not sure if the Leukemia is causing these flashback memories
Awesome cast and great story.A bit overly dramatic in a few scenes but its the era in which it was done.the ending brought no closure at all ,as if the writers planned a part 2.
Very solid movie. If they had done something better with his hair, it would be timeless, but it was still '78 and the 'fro was the way to go, but it's a shame he didn't just let them cut his hair off, or whoever made the decision to look more like a young man from the fifties or early sixties, whenever this was.

Great Movie first time seeing this and I'm 54 yrs young, JJ and Debbie Allen was/is great together just like in "GoodTime' ....
This movie shows Jimmies diversity in roles.I am glad I caught this movie.
Wow!!! I didn't expect to get emotional with this movie. Exceptional acting between Debbie Allen and Jimmie Walker...... also Tamu Blackwell who plays Jimmie Walker sister was also exceptional.
Tamu starred on the movie called Claudine
l interviewed debbie allen in Key West, Florida decades ago..
Jimmie Walker was still working playing J.J. on Good Times ..I Love every episode of Good Times 😍😍😍😍💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Me too! I even have the DVD! I got mad then TV1 took it off the playlist on Saturdays. Lol
* Same year "White Shadow" came out.
