WHAT HAPPENED TO THE EXTRA SCENES FROM THE PURPLE RAIN TRAILER? FOR THOSE WHO HAVE PURPLE RAIN ON DVD IF YOU CLICK ON THEATATICAL TRAILER IT SHOW A TRAILER OF PURPLE RAIN WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF THAT WASN'T IN THE MOVIE. THE PART WHERE APPOLLONIA JOINS MORRIS GROUP AND THEY'RE PRACTICING AND PRINCE DRIVES BY AND HE'S LOOKING AT THE WAREHOUSE AND HE LOOKS PISSED (AND ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS I MIGHT ADD) WELL IN THE TRAILER HE GOES IN THE PLACE AND ENDS UP PUNCHING SOME GUY IN THE FACE AND THEN PRINCE GRABS APOLLONIA HAND AND TRIES TO PULL HER OUTTA THERE BUT I DON'T THINK SHE WENT CUZ THE NEXT CLIP SHOWS HIM WALKING OUT BY HIMSELF AND HE LOOKS PISSED AGAIN. OOHHH WWEEE! WHEN I SAW THAT I WAS YELLING AT THE TV "OH MY GOD-WHERE DID THIS STUFF COME FROM AND WHY WAS IT NOT IN THE MOVIE!" DOES ANYONE KNOW THE SCOUP ABOUT THIS FOOTAGE?

I've been trying to figure this one out for the longest. I saw the trailer a while ago & thought "hey, wait a sec, that's not in the movie!". I wonder myself what happened to the extra scenes. And if there were some, wouldn't it be ideal to have them on the DVD version? NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

[This message was edited Mon Oct 21 10:33:46 PDT 2002 by LOVESEXY26] As with all other movies, PR had some scenes left on the cutting room floor. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

Wasn't there an article on the extra scenes in all of Prince's films in Uptown a while ago? NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

Like Supernova said some scenes were left on the cutting
room floor. Way back before it's relase there were rumors stating certain scenes had to be cut out or the movie would get like an NC-17 rating. (There was a rape scene & the sex scenes in the movie were originally more detailed) In my opinion too many scenes were cut out of the movie beacuse some scenes in the finished product have questionable loose ends. | |

Now Prince and warners can release it in it's ORIGINAL version. If Prince was recording Darling Nikki today he wouldn't be Considered Obscene or even maybe get the Warning because Masturbation isn't Cursing or Obscene. Listen to the Rap of Today! | |

There is video tape which has been doing the rounds for years, a slightly longer - by approximately 5 minutes - rough edition of 'Purple Rain' with all the deleted scenes mentioned above (Prince punching Jellybean's lights out, etc) included, only this version is missing some incidental background music which had not yet been put in the mix.
You can get it if you know the right people. . "You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person." | |

But listen I don't have that tape. I would like to Know if he really shot the Scene where he Rapes in a sense well Rough Sex with Appolonia? I am sure there were more Graphic scenes from the Barn with Appolonia on top of him,but did he actually film all the Sex parts and the Part with the Earring and what his mother supposedly said to him or what he thought? Jellybean and him fought when he went to see Vanity6 Reherse. I always thought about these scenes as they said Prince wrote them in the Script. Is that really true? So he wanted it more Graphic huh? Well,it would have been Sooo Ahead of it's time but he could show it now with what Halle Berry and Billy Bob showed as a Sex Scene. Times have very Much Changed. I Hate Tipper Gore! | |

. Most of the scenes with music have nothing going on but dialogue in workprints..and that Lake minetonka scene goes ona bit more with Prince saying "he got lucky" on Lets Go Crazy Night. "Climb in my fur." | |

You know what, now I've changed my mind. I probably shouldn't anticipate those scenes simply because they might be too much to stomach. I'll just leave the finished product of "Purple Rain" the way it is. NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

I know of 2 other scenes that were not in the movie.
I remember the first scene from years ago. I was in my local Wal-Mart and they were running a video tape loop of upcoming VHS movie releases (I told you it was a long time ago). On that tape was a promo for Purple Rain and I remember seeing one scene where Morris and Jerome were walking down the streets in MSP in the daytime. The camera panned to an ambulance with its seirens on speeding down the street. The camera panned back to Jerome and Morris who stopped walking and they looked at each other. The look on their faces was something along the lines of "oh shit". The second scene was of Prince and Boob-a-llonia having sex during the "Purple Rain". I suppose that this is what the title of the movie and the song is supposed to represent. I remember reading somewhere that the scene was cut because it was too steamy. My DC Direct wishlist: 1) Bane, 2) Prof Zoom, 3) Superman Blue, 4) Kilowag, 5) Parasite | |

Listen to the radio and watch movies now. More Nudity and Cursing gets allowed for an R rating so Prince could really go Wild if he wanted to and seriously with his IMAGINATION,God What he could Create and Yeah,he'd be So Fucking Out Of This World Because He already Is the Blast Fucking Off! I would be in 7th Heaven drinking Vanilla Fucking... Diet Coke! | |

The video "When Doves Cry" includes a small snippet of Morris and Apollonia running across a front yard (I think), and I don't remember ever seeing this in the movie.
Here's (supposedly) an early script to the movie -- a revised version of Dreams which still mentions Vanity as the Kid's love-interest: http://inflow.corky.net/s...eRain.html Some parts were cut out -- check out the very odd conversation between mother and son (after the Kid's dad beats her down, says "I Would Die 4 U" and then leaves). | |

Did Albert Magnoli write it or did Prince? It was very Wild. Seems like Prince wrote it. That is the extra scenes. He was actually quite PORNOGRAPHIC in his DESIRES! | |

I thought Prince and William Blinn worked on it originally, and then it was totally reworked when Blinn dropped out and Albert Magnoli was picked as director.
Check out my link above -- it includes the deleted scenes spoken about in this thread. At one point, the Kid's mom even calls him Skipper and says, "you're so pretty... you coulda been a girl." I'm glad they left that stuff out. But I wish Vanity would've been around long enough to do the movie. I always try to imagine her in that role... "Vanity, don't I make you happy... Don't you like the way we are?" Guess not. When I said "When Doves Cry" video -- I think it's actually the "Let's Go Crazy" video that includes a piece of that one deleted scene. | |

Yeah,but well why always the Girl thing or in Graffiti Bridge Prince going the King has arrived to Morris and him saying You must be the Queen then? Why also the Liberace thing or the sly I'm thinking bout {lispy Sex?} Why like that? Not all Gay guys are Flamboyant. Some are Rather Masculine. AWhy does Prince always call himself Ugly and all this other Stuff and Put-Downs? I will Never Understand why he Degrades himself or thinks Shortness or his Stature or Dick or anything well why is he Insecure when he has this in a Movie or Song? Why? Maybe he is just joking around. Still he always calls himself Ugly and he was Never Ugly Ever! And his height is fine and his dick also. | |

I remember in early 1984,there was a report that 'Purple Rain' was gonna get an X rating becaue some of the scenes were too explicit.I also remember a classmate of mine insisting that she had actually seen the un-cut,uncensored version of this film!! I always assumed that she was lying.I asked her what happens in it,and all she said was "Fucking,fucking and more fucking"
If you watch The Time's "Jungle Love" video,you will see a few scenes that were cut from the movie.Also,I do remember a scene in the trailer where Prince punched Jellybean. | |

Here is part of the original script with that scene, with Prince hitting Jellybean, after Morris sics him on him.
PRINCE suddenly enters the hall. Morris spots him immediately and halts the MUSIC. The Girls dance on a moment, then stop perplexed. Vanity catches Prince's look, shakes her head in disbelief-- PRINCE I want to talk to you. She's out of breath, waves him off-- VANITY Not now, I'm busy. PRINCE Now. A TITTER goes through the Band Members - - Vanity wipes her face, fixes him with a glare-- VANITY I said I'm busy -- we'll talk later. PRINCE Uh, uh... He grabs her suddenly, pulls her to the door-- VANITY Leave me alone! I've got a show to do! She pulls away savagely-- VANITY YOU can't just come in here and take me away! We'll talk later! Morris is enraged-- MORRIS Man -- why don't you just do the walk? Prince glares at him, cups his genitals- - PRINCE Why don't you kiss the one- eyed snake? The Band lets out a condescending GROAN -- the tension rises MORRIS Jellybean! Jellybean, 6'4", 210 pounds, steps from behind the drums, moves up behind Prince- - JELLYBEAN Let's go, Jack. PRINCE Fuck you! He lunges, grabs Vanity again -- she SHRIEKS-- VANITY Leave me alone, dammit! Get out of here! Jellybean lurches, grabs Prince in a HEAIDLOCK, lifts him off his his feet. Prince kicks at him wildly-- JELLYBEAN (enraged) Fucker!! He twists Prince's head backwards, SMASHES his body to the ground-- JELLYBEAN Stay still, motherfucker!! But Prince continues fighting him with everything he's got! Jellybean is astonished-- JELLYBEAN Shit!! He twists Prince's neck savagely, SMASHES! his legs to the floor again and again-- JELLYBEAN Stop!! Vanity is crying-- VANITY Jellybean, please... Prince drops to his hands and knees exhausted. Everybody is frozen now -- scared. The Girls are crying, the incedent has already gone too far... Jellybean settles his weight on Prince, twists his head down painfully, trying to break the resistance he alone can feel. Prince remains silent, the anger coursing through his body in tremors-- The Guys surround them, grabbing Prince's arms, legs, and feet. He's like a trapped animal now-- JELLYBEAN Lift him. VANITY (crying) Don't hurt him ... They pick him up, move him toward the door. He resists them slightly, his body lurching in fit and starts. Suddenly he breaks free, faces them with his back to he door. But the Band Members surround him, their wills united, the obviousness of the situation apparent to all. He searches for Vanity's eyes, but she can't face him and walks away. Anger again surges in his veins. He cuts out the door, SLAMS it behind him. There is alot of stuff in the original script that was left out. I don't know how much of it was filmed. I know the love scene in the barn was filmed and so was the scene of Prince's mom (who should have been Black) walking off with two girlfriends, talking about going out to have some fun. Here is a link to the full script if you want to read it. http://inflow.corky.net/s...eRain.html | |

I'll Never understand the way Mom was almost Portrayed as a Hooker type or Derelict cause it was like she was a Woman on the street with other ladies. I do Believe they were put in a Cop Lock-up or something. So really this movie is absolutely Fiction. I don't think Prince's Mom was this way. Once again it was a MOVIE! Fictional... | |

I have that original script too! It even includes a scene where Prince and The Revolution are performing the song "G-Spot" (before it was replaced with "Computer Blue") and another scene where they are performing "Electric Intercourse" (before it was replaced with "The Beautiful Ones").And some of the sex scenes with Vanity were very,very,VERY explicit.
I often wonder how the movie would have been if they had used this early script,and if Vanity remained in the cast. | |

God David well if he Released it now and he could well it would be Amazing. Of Course well Vanity is no longer she is Religious not Nasty. But he could Release this stuff if he had the original Cut like they now have Director's Cuts. If it was extremely Sexual in Nature it could get an NC-17 so he could have it his way. He could release everything all his Music you know Rough,Dirty...Whatever. He could Release his Photos...He could Release his Videos...Whatever he wants...Times have Changed and things are more OPEN and HONEST and not Such a BIGGIE! It Depends on Him and If he wants 2 or if he Still wants it MYSTERIOUS! Nobody would Even think it Wrong. So it's Really all in his Court! I think Rupert Holmes said he figures it was Best to just be Open so that he didn't have to Explain later on...Not saying Prince is Like Rupert just stating a fact. Love Prince so very Much. That's All. | |

She kicks at him violently, hot tears streaming down her cheeks. He jams his leg between hers, rubs it firmly against her bottom. She struggles helplessly against him as he covers her breasts, her stomach, her thighs with his lips. Quick breaths escape from her -- her breathing begins to race... He snaps her panties in two, pulls them from between her legs. She spreads herself as he releases his pants. She squeezes his buttocks, pulls him toward her -- but Prince resists her coldly, regards her with contempt. Suddenly he flips her onto her stomach, forces her to stand painfully on her knees. He rubs his hand between her buttocks, then thrusts into her painfully, driving himself to the very depths of her... ...but she stifles a cry, arches her back, and meets his thrusts fiercely, moving quicker and quicker, banging her buttocks against his thighs again and again. She's drawing from him now, turning the humiliation around, obtaining all that she needs and desires. He's powerless -- her thrusts set the pace. She rises, Prince still inside her and tugs on him rapidly, causing him to ejaculate suddenly, drawing from him a sharp and sudden cry... She moves away, draws her coat tightly about her, fixes him with a contemptuous look-- Whew. Now, I wonder if THAT was filmed. [This message was edited Thu Oct 24 3:26:24 PDT 2002 by McGee] | |

From what I understand,Vanity left the production before filming began in November 1983.But I wonder if these same scenes were filmed with Apollonia? In early 1984 (after the movie was completed),MTV news reported that it would receive an "X" rating because of explicit scenes.
"She's drawing from him now,turning the humiliation around,obtaining all that SHE needs and desires.He's powerless---her thrusts set the pace" You go Vanity!!! | |
