Okay, toward the end of the movie when they show The Kid's father (Francis L.) laying in the hospital bed with the bandage on his head (very realistic for a gun shot wound to the cranium) and The Kid and Mom are by his side, and everyone watching the movie breathes a sigh of relief that the abusive bastard is still holding on and didn't die.....

Cut to the next scene.

A plump nurse comes into the hospital room with clipboard in hand and wants to obtain the insurance info.....(sorta like, WHO's paying for this Morris) and The Kid's Mom and Dad both shake their heads slowly as if to say, "We don't have insurance. The old man lost his job down at the Minnetonka Tire Factory and we are uninsured....."

Next scene....orderlies come in and start disconnecting the wires that connect Francis L. to his life support machines. The bed is stripped, with him still in it. The bandage is ripped from his head (making a really loud sound - like velcro). He is walked out of the hospital (no wheelchairs for the UNinsured) and forced to walk home.....

I must've ruined it for everyone.
I can't believe people aren't responding to your question.
I thought it was great!

A scene where Mom actually has a convo with The Kid. It always bothers me that she never speaks directly to him.

Also, I wish that they would have left in the scene (right before the scene when Apollonia gives The Kid the guitar) where Mom gives a monologue. It always funny to me that he wakes up with Mom's earring.

Actually, there was a conversation between The Kid and his "ma" -- but they cut it, which is good because it was sorta perverted.

The only scenes I can think of adding would only be if Vanity had done the movie instead of Apollonia, know what I mean?

The one scene I would change is...

Remember the quick cut in at the every end of Morris & Jerome clapping! Which is a total sell-out Hollywood Movie ending thing.

I think it would be funnier to have both in the audience like they have now, but ONLY have Jerome clapping and getting into The Kid's music and then have Morris nudge Jeorome like "hey dude we just lost our jobs".

What was the convo between the Kid and his mom like? Know anywhere I could find a transcript or something?

I don't know if there's anything I'd add aside from the scenes that were filmed then taken.

I think the 'Modernaires' would have been the ones to go.

His Mom's earring?? I thought that was his earring, which he gives to Apples, who throws it back at him in the basement when he's being obnoxious. and then he find it later and regrets what he did.

WHen did they say it was his mother's?

Grafitti Bridge original ending:-


Morris to the kid and co whilst the kid's crew r singing the track "graffiti bridge":-

"Hey kid, I don't care if Aura (the angel) died, u gonna be next if u don't stop singing that shit.....and Tevin what the fuck r u dong joining in? I thought u were cool? Jerome if u dare sing a note from this song Iam gonna slap ur ass so very fast....." The end!

They didn't. In the scene before, his mother has on an earring like the one he wakes up wearing. I don't know for sure but it seems that way. Maybe during dialogue they cut out, he gives it to her.

hmm why isn't that the Purple Rain 20th anniversary edition doesn't contain any deleted scenes? i was highly disappointed when i realized that this was the case. I was looking at the old trailer commercials for the movie and saw a hint of deleted scenes in them but i wanted to see more....

In the scene where Mom and Dad are fighting again, after he hits her, Mom pulls out the same gun that Dad would later attempt suicide with, painting the wall behind him with his alcohol-fried brain matter. Later on after The Kid pretends he's his father and hit Apples, she takes his brand new guitar and beats the living shit outta him.
Sorry, I'm in a rare mood right now.

My added scene would be "revenge of the b$%@#chs" in which several georgeous women would toss Morris and Jerome into a dumpster...

The love scene between Prince and Apollonia would contain full frontal nudity of both of them.

green, i'd like that too.

I would have kept the scene in where Apollonia is in bed at the kids house and is awakened by the sound of his parents fighting

I would create a scene of the kid changing suits in front of the mirror, deciding which one to pick 4 the evening ...

I would create two extra scenes:

one long scene with Prince and the band in rehearsal doing
"Electric Intercourse" and "Wednesday"

and another scene where they rock our sox off with the 15
minute version of "Computer Blue".

heck, it wouldn't even need any pictures to go with it,
just put it on the soundtrack.

Hot, steamy love scene between Wendy and Lisa...okay I am wrong for that.

How about tossing poor Brownmark a scene or a line of dialogue...didn't we all want to know what Brownmark's home life was like? I sure as hell did...

GottaLetitgo said:

same with susan...

as for what i'd add, i'd throw in an extra scene after that one part where the kid smacks apollonia after she gives 'im the geetar...after that slap, she'd be whoopin ass all over that room.

Every third or fourth scene, you would hear an extra in the background say "How about this weather, eh? Cold enough for yah?"

- Make Jill sprung and overly-obssessed with The Kid after a past one night stand together.

- include some kinda lesbian angle or lesbian undertones in the movie

- After Kid rescues Apples from Morris, instead of fighting her to the ground, he takes her to an apartment complex and they get into an argument about her being with Morris. Kid acts like he's about to punch her, but instead he kisses her very hard on her lips and then bends Apples over the ledge of a balconcy and does her from the back, as Apples is moaning and groaning; Jill just happens to be walkin the street below, until a pair of panties hoes falls right on top of her head. Jill looks up and see's them and realizes its the Kid when she spots his motorcycle parked downstairs on the ground...and also cause Apples is screaming out "Ah! Kid! Oooo! Kid! Oooo! Mmm...Mmmmmph! Ah! Ahh! Kid...Ahhh!!!".

- extend the "I Would Die 4 U" performance at the end right into the closing credits, where they would show everybody individually on the screen with their real names, then crossface into Lets Got Crazy during the black screen credits.

- After performing "Purple Pain", The Kid runs backstage to a men's restroom to take a leak, then hears everybody cheering. He zips his pants, flushes, turns around to see Jill standin right behind him crying; Face-to-face, Kid saids "hi" and runs out without even washing his hands.

- Jill tryna force The Kid to have sex with her after Wendy gives her the tape for Kid to hear.

More apple nudity, less Prince face attacking. Same goes for UTCM.

the part where apollonia gets slapped she should walk out the window...then show her out side and she says fuck this shit! and goes back in and gets the guitar...and i woulda left in the scene where the kid and momma are talkin and she gives him the earring...its funny in the sad sorta way.."u coulda been a girl"...
