2 questions about the end of Purple Rain (the movie)

just flicking through and saw the pg version on vh1...

1. if wendy and lisa wrote the song that would be purple rain...how did everybody in the band know what to play without rehearsing it? and if wendy and lisa kept wrting songs the Kid was blowing off..how'd Wendy know which one to play?

2. if the Kid had 2 kick ass songs like IWD4U and BIAS in his repertoire, why didn't he play them before?

I was wondering the same exact thing about Purple Rain! (the song) Whoa... I dunno. I asked myself that. Maybe Wendy and Lisa had taught the band how 2 play...??

And the second one....I dunno man..This movie has a bunch of unanswered q's for me...

In the first draft of the original script, it was said that his mother gave him the earing. So it wasn't really his!


Guess he felt the need 2 give it 2 Apples...

well at least it wasn't as bad as fame or grease where dozens of people in their 20's and 30's (playing high schoolers) break in to perfectly choreographed dance routines and sing

1. Wendy (guitar), Lisa (keys), and the Kid (guitar) already knew the song. The other's improvised (simple drums, bass, added keys). Most musicians are pretty good at that. Prince and tha band do it all the time when they jam.

2. The Kid's dad was supposed to have killed himself, originally. They revamped it a bit to make for a happier ending.

the song on the demo tape was instrumental and even the piano solo the kid played sound really different..tempo wise...and what about the chorus?

if he lived, maybe there wouldn't have been a graffiti bridge (is that a good or bad thing)
