The scene at the lake in Purple Rain

This is my favorite scene from the movie because Apollonia jumps into the lake wearing only her panties and because Prince is really funny. We know this isn't Lake Minnetonka, but does anyone know which lake this scene was filmed at?

Probably Prior Lake.

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

well i live in minnesota, and im pretty sure its not a lake at all.....its called "back waters", from the river, it sometimes floods, and creates little areas of water like this, and people think they r lakes.

Thats why apples was so grossed out after she jumped in. biggrin

Either way, she was a dumbass for doing it anyway so she deserved. I know it's a movie, but damn, homegirl had no self-respect and when she FINALLY did, it was kind of too late, I was like "bitch, whatever." yawn

Funny as fuck.

I read somewhere that it was a real freezing cold day, when they shot that scene.

Little? Yeah, right. It might be little but it's loud

That commentary is hilarious. Apollonia jumps into the lake in Minnesota - and comes out of it in LA. lol

i often walk on the paths of the ECK temple (just about across the street from Paisley Park) and wish that the Lake was right there on the border of the ECK property. There is a lake/water there....and it looks beautiful in November and/or March/April. It sorta looks like the lake in Purple Rain.

I heard somewhere on the internet that the 'lake' was in Eagan, a place just outside MPLS

Eagan is outside of Minneapolis proper, but it is definitely part of the Twin Cities metroplex.

Eagan Township. Not the city of Eagan. That's where the barn scene was filmed and most likely the lake scene.

Apollonia has nice boobies.

Actually she has nice everything.

I remember one time last summer I was watching Purple Rain when it came on VH1, and my brother walked in during "Sex Shooter"....came back in the room a few minutes later and told me Apollonia was, in his words, "A bad bitch".

Note the musical cue once the goodies are revealed.

I wonder if Prince had seen them before that very moment.

You're so glam, every time I see you I wanna slam!

Compare her to Vanity and I think Apollonia would still get it. Just saying.
