Who holds the World Record for viewings of "Graffiti Bridge"

I've seen it perhaps twenty times, which in human terms is a lot, but in fam terms, not that many.How many times have you subjected yourself to this masterpiece of crap acting and not-as-good-as-PR-or-UTCM music?


here's a wee picture of prince

I'm probably around twenty myself. Once in the cinema, then a bunch more later.

I actually thought this movie was great back in the day. Championed it to all my friends, and everything... why did they let me do that?????

cool I tried to watch it twice. Once when it came out in the movies. When it came on cable... i just could not bring myself to look at it again. I only watched about 30 minutes of it. One time was enough for me. cool

if you've seen it any more than twice there's probably something seriously wrong with you. ive seen it twice, but even the first time was a bit of a arduous journey.

the "elephants & flowers" section/video is very cool, admittedly

I've been a fan for so long but I've never really actually sat down and watched
Graffiti Bridge before. I've seen it but never watched it.

I agree! I noticed when watching the trailers for GB and PR there are a HELL of a lot of bits that never made it into the final cut of both films. In the trailer for GB during the part where The Kid says "the king has arrived" (directed at Morris), Morris retaliates with "Guess who the queen is?"...but that never ended up the movie. L4OATheOriginal, is there anywhere I can view the Original GB script? I already have the PR one. I'd love to see the rest of the outtakes etc

it's the same as 4 all of his films. there is footage from UTCM with horses, also with christopher and tricky entering a "casino" while he is wearing the outfit from the mountains video. I wish someday all of this footage will b released.

I'm sure if I count up all the times I tried to watch it, it would come out to at least one whole viewing. boxed

Ive seen it more than a hundred....but only a few were viewings where I paid strict attention. I tend to usually have the tv on in the background whenever im home & often just run a familiar video. For a while it was "Grafitti Bridge" which i picked up on VHS at a surplus store for a buck.

Movie definately has that "so cheesy its fun" feel & anything with Jerome in it is automatically watchable anyway. Best part IMHO is the "Shake" sequence.
