Don't think this has been mentioned (perhaps because it is not a movie): In the series 'Malcolm & Eddie' they have Eddie performing as Prince. Thought it was quite funny though.

In the movie "Striptease", Demi Moore starts to strip for Burt Reynolds and puts on "If I Was Your Girlfriend" and says "Don't you just love the artist formally known as Prince?"

hmmm

Demi Moore was with Bruce Willis... and he mentions Prince in "Last Boyscout" and then in "Unbreakable", his wife character mentions Prince "Soft and Wet" by the artist formally known as Prince...

hmmm... it's a conpiracy.

Don't you never say an unkind word about the Time. Me and Silent Bob modeled our whole fucking lives around Morris Day and Jerome. I'm a smooth pimp who loves the pussy. And Tubby here is my black man servant. What.

It was the "Work It" video. It was during the part in the song when she said "Prince couldn't get to change my name"

there is an episode of the golden girls where sophia puts on a heah set and starts singing purple rain, and also an episode of designing women where there is a tornado coming and this man comes down their steps in a sailors hat and robe and bikini underwear, then annie potts says, oh god he thinks he's prince.
and the song international lover is playing on the radio

Does anyone remember a John Candy movie where it starts off with "Delerious"

-OH YEA!!! it was Work It. Heheheh, i feel dumb now.

In BE COOL, when John Travolta sits int the stripclub in the beginning of the movie, the guy sitting at the table next to him is wearing the symbol hanger.
(press pause to see it).

In Stay Tuned, John Ritter gets trapped in various tv chanels and when he is in the music one he is supposed to be prince

The other nite I watched this film called Purple Rain and it seemed to mention Prince stuff quite a bit

Liar, that was "The Kid"

Wow! I'm surprised someone else remembers seeing that. When I saw it years ago, I was almost in disbelief.

But if my memory serves me right, wasn't "I Wanna Be Your Lover" playing instead of Controversy?

You can hear someone playing "1999" on a portable keyboard when Molly Ringwald gets on the bus in Sixteen Candles.

"Head" was playing in the club scene of "Waiting To Exhale". When it got to the breakdown (drums & vocals) the whole club was heard in the background singing along..."HEAD...till ya burnin' up, HEAD...till ya get enough, etc" Surprised me.

In Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts is in the bubble bath when Richard Geres charcter comes up to her as shes singing along to Kiss. She goes "its Prince, don't u love him hes so funky"

Not movies but hes spoofed a lot in Mad, in November 84 its called Purple Acid Rain starring Prance, which I though t was funny"
Also a later spoof on Rock videos shows two black guys, one with a Mozart wig and Ruffles on saying, "Who went to the toilet last" The other guy who has an Eqyptian headress on and a bone in his nose "Says Prince" and the first one goes, that would explain the Purple toilet paper.

there's the scene in the talking heads' "wild wild life" video from the movie "true stories" where jerry harrison and tina weymouth are dressed up like prince and apples in "purple rain".

I was just watching the In Living Color marathon on BET last night, and Jamie Foxx did a spoof on My Name is Prince. He was really short, and everyone else was a lot taller than he was.

It was really funny. I'll go see if I can find a clip of it somewhere.
