I think the over all quality of acting in this movie
definitely inspired the most riveting performance

Apollonia was the worst lol

I still think it's a a shame that Vanity dropped out of this movie.I've seen other movies that she appears in,and she can definitely act.

What do you mean Jill? eek She was the only believable actor in the who flick, that's exactly how cute blond chicks used to be like in the 80s. Haven't you folks ever chatted with a beautiful young woman?

Trash bin chick on the other hand... well, Billy wasn't pulling off a Robert DeNiro either.

all of 'em are equally bad, in my eyes...there really wasn't any brilliant or amazing acting in the entire movie to speak of.


hmmm

I'd say that Morris was pretty good,for someone who had never acted in a film before.

I was going to say Apollonia but now that you reminded me of that scene, Jill Jones was definately the worst.


Yeah, but Jill definitely redeems herself with the panty-removal scene in G Bridge!

I re-watched it this weekend as well.

Appollonia is by far the worst..

"That is all that I dream of, and you what do you dream of."

Oh Lord that line always makes me cringe.

Some ham acting besides apollonia "King Kong", "Stop", is Prince when he comes into the house and shrieks to his father somewhere hiding in the house.

"Where are you! WHERE ARE YOU! ANSWER ME MOTHERFUCKER!" It proves one thing, have Prince's balls dropped yet.
Despite the haminess its very funny especially as he runs around slamming doors and shit.

I thought wendy and lisa were one of the best of the bunch (not up with morris or jerome but then they had very different parts)

Serious them 2 were believable.

Out of all of Prince's movies, the "bang" by the keyboard player in "graffiti bridge" was by the far the best and most underated actor i have ever seen.

Average actors
Clarence Williams III





i remember all the hype when he got a role on Twin Peaks...(cause he was reuniting w/ peggy lipton) and when he finally showed up all i could think of was what a horrible actor he was...


maybe i should share this in the confession thread but i've never seen purple rain all the way through...

come to think of it, ive never seen any prince film all the way through (with the exception of SOOT)...

Before hooking up with Prince,she did a few films in Canada,and they were referred to as "B movies".Is that the same thing as a porno? confuse

i thought apollonia was good in it.

Again, it's EASILY Brownmark. He has NO LINES, so that tells you how bad his acting skills musta been if they kept his nappy Jheri Curl havin' ass from speaking.

I don't know guys... I just watched this movie again last night after a loong time... I guess I was in a much more forgiving mood. Everyone seems to do a great job considering that they'd never acted before...

For badly acted movies, it's pretty cool! And watching Prince perform Beautiful Ones, and Purple Rain... timeless...

The man must've made a deal with the devil for all that talent!

I think the moustache of Bobby Z made a very mature performance. Must have been the Best Hair of the whole movie.

You took my line.

I can't STAND that part. "So you gave it to me, it's not yours anymore"

That is not clever OR cute OR intelligent.
