Making Apollonia 19 in the movie. She looked much older than that.


Lots of actresses/singers/models lie about their age. Apollonia obviously lied in the film in the hopes of getting the manager's attention. Billy wouldn't book an act that was over-the-hill.


In britain you can drink when your 18, not an issue for us

Continuity: Prince concentrates on the chalk mark of his father's suicide attempt in the basement just before he flips out. Funny, but I thought they only made chalk outlines for people who actually died.


That was just an image the Prince fabricated in his mind and it fueled his fear/rage. During that same scene there was an image of Prince's dead body hanging from a noose. That didn't happen either, right?

I noticed something.

In the Computer Blue performance, Prince seems to be playing the song part of the time. But during the first solo, not the bridge to Father's Song, Prince's hand on the fretboard isn't even moving, and his right-hand is caressing Wendy, and it is obvious that Prince is supposed to be doing the solo.

I don't know if this is a mistake or not, but it kind of seemed weird to me the first time I saw this movie. When Prince is in his room and starts listening to the tape with Purple Rain on it, his dad starts yelling "You do what I say" twice, and follows up with "You keep this house clean". I always thought it was kind of weird that you could hear him yelling and glasses breaking, but the mom never yelled back. And also, when he's listening to Purple Rain, when his parents all of a sudden bust into his room, the music suddenly stops, and they don't show Prince stop the tape. I always thought this was kind of weird because THE second that they barge in, the music stops. If Prince were to stop the tape, how could he have simultaneously stopped it, seeing as how his eyes were closed and he got scared when they first busted in because he didn't expect it?

I'll try and find more later. I have the movie but it's on VH1 right now.

Here's my favorite.
Apollonia gets out of the lake, obviously soaked, hair dripping wet.
The Kid goofs off for a while, not letting her back on the bike.
When she finally gets on and they speed off, her hair is dry and flowing like crazy.



Yeah, must have had a travel hairblower on her somewhere, unless her hair is waterproof. giggle

This is the voice of the Misterons.....

It REALLY pisses me off when he enters the lake with Apples on his ROADBIKE with road bike tyres and while he's goofing around later the bike has DIRT BIKE tyres for all the gravel/dust shots as he leaves her, but when he stops at the top of the road to look at apples on the ground, the bike has road tyres again??Grrrrr

Misteron

Not just different tyres, they're two different bikes (according to a nerdy biker friend of mine).
The same friend also pointed out that the engine sounds used in the film are not the sounds made by the engines of either of the bikes used in the film. But he's probably the only person in the world to notice that.


Prince has 3 of the bikes...all Honda CB400s, two are Honda(auto)matics smile

When they were on display at the first celebration, my hubby was on them like glue for 45 minutes because he and our other friends had always debated/wondered what they were.

The things I've also noticed and have bugged me:

Apollonia's age
The bike tires
The body outline
and the way Apollonia's mic kept changing during the "Sex Shooter" performance

I also noticed the "wet hair thing" but I didn't think it was a big deal. It was still wet, just not soaked. I still think she looks 'hotter than hell' like that! wink

Sorry, AC, but you're dead wrong. Watch it again.
When they ride off it is DRY. Farrah Fawcett dry.

Oh,Ok! No doubt you are right! I don't recall right now, but I thought most were referring to her just prior to getting back onthe bike. wink

In the opening "Let's Go Crazy" sequence, when Morris Day pulls to the side in front of the mirror ("So sexy!") you can see a stage hand with a baseball cap in the mirror, who quickly pulls to the side.
