Continuity mistake: When Otis gets off the tour bus and comes over to kiss Josephine, his hair changes from processed to natural, before he kisses her.
The Temptations (1998)
Directed by: Allan Arkush
Starring: Charles Malik Whitfield, Christian Payton, D.B. Woodside, Terron Brooks
Audio problem: Lead singer Dennis Edwards' voice is totally different when singing "Cloud Nine" than it is when he is singing "Psychedelic Shack." you can tell that it is a completely different singer's voice.
Revealing mistake: As a very young Otis Williams listens to The Cadillacs on stage in Detroit, the joint is rockin' with the music, but most of The Cadillacs have no microphones.
Trivia: In an interview with Leon, he states that he ad-libbed the line "Ain't nobody coming to see you, Otis." Charles Malik Whitfield, who plays Otis, was bothered by this, and his reaction is genuine.
David: They're coming to see me!
Otis: They're coming to see the Temptations.
David: Ain't nobody coming to see you, Otis!
Otis Williams: Oh yeah, not the same but nominated for a Grammy.
