Prince should have let Morris Day play the character of Christopher Tracey

If this had happened the movie would have worked and been a hit.

Do you agree or disagree?

eye disagree..yes, morris has more of a giggolo (eye think thats how its spelled) persona than prince..but prince is far more witty and he plays a more better role of arrogance than morris does..that movie was enough with jerome..and morris being in UTCM would have been a "parade" of two fools!

Any fans that were hardcore back in 86' will remember how amazing it was to finally get a glimpse of the real Prince in UTCM.
before that, the only time he ever spoke on camera at length was the MTV 1985 interview which was NOT HIM BEING LOOSE/NATURAL..(mildly because it took place during the filming of the movie) But...

UTCM was for many of us was the 1st time we realized that Prince wasn't some spooky/weird/crazy artist guy..but, rather a very Cool/hip/funny/talented guy..
Prince HAD 2 be Christopher Tracy !!!

I like Morris Day. Really, I love the guy. When it comes to big, overblown, OTT characters, MD is the man.

But CT was witty and slick and of course a little sexpot. Morris is a nice looking man, but Prince...there's something entrancing about him.

And hell, it just worked with Prince in the lead role.

It always works with Prince in the lead role. Think about it. If this were 1986, what would put your ass in the seat at the theatre?

Under the Cherry Mooning Starring Morris E. Day

OR

Under the Cherry Moon Starring PRINCE.

I'd be like those Star Wars guys, sleeping in front of the theatre waiting for opening day for Prince.

Can't say I'd do the same for Morris. lol

Princey knew what he was doing.
I love a Man who:
Wears More Make Up Than Me.
Wears Four Inch Stilleto Boots.
Changes His Name To An Unpronouncable Symbol.
Who Changes His Name Back From An Unpronouncable Symbol.
Oh And Most Importantly, Who Is Sexy Little Drop Of Butterscotch

NA
the movie was great 2 me. Bit complex how a family with with an American mother british father and british daughter based in France. shoulda just been shot in the UK

But i got to admit you could see the true prince. Everything from his sence of humour to his humility...like in those love scenes..what a beautiful thing 2 see smile

I've said this for years on this site. The only real problem with the movie is the death scene. I have a DVD copy where I cut out the death scene. Movie is much better...
I may have the jelly 4 ur peanut butta but u got 31 hours and 21 minutes left.

There's no way Morris would have gotten half the audience that Prnce did. He's just riding on Prince's wind anyhow!

I don't think so.

no, morris should have been inserted as a rival/pimp who resents prince and jerome moving in on what he believed to be his clientele.
