I actually wrote a similar script with Apples being turned out by the mob (gangsta bitch), Vanity returning as Prince's lost love, and instead of Billy getting killed by the mob, the mob had a hold of Morris and he needed money to get out so he called the kid to help him put on a spanking ass show to help raise the money he owed the mob. It got rejected  | |

For those who take the question seriously, I think the basic story could have worked if they really made it a sequel to Purple Rain. What they did was ake a surreal fantasy movie that was considered the followup to a film that was just the opposite. Purple Rain had a true to life, rock n roll reality about it that took you to the city where those characters lived. The disturbed domestic situation, a suicide attempt, realtionship issues, career pressures - it was all there to make it seem like a reality. Nothing about GB is even remotely associated with reality. The set doesnt even look like you are in the eral world. It is like some kind of funky dreamworld that seems to revolve around partying in nightclubs. You dont even see anything from the rea world: no warehouse studios, no city traffic jams, no back alley behinds nightclubs, no old apartments, dingy hotel rooms, or basements with manniquin faces and eyes painted on the wall. The intention was to take us to some fantasy world. Right there, they lost most of the viewers. After the failure of Under the Cherry Moon - commercial failure I should say because I feel that film took far more of a beating than it deserved - people needed to see a sequel to Purple Rain and that is what hey expected when the Kid, Morris, and Jill show up. (Ever notice how the sudden appearance of Jam, Lewis, and Monte in place of Jerry, Mark, and Paul is never dealt with?).
The angel or whatever Ingrid Chavez was supposed to be would have to go. They would have to make her a real chick - maybe the new love interest who replaces Apollonia. George and Mavis coudl have been REAL club owners - or maybe make Mavis the owner of some other kind of business that the Time was shaking down. And the Time came off as gangsters who played musc on the side with Morris as the mob boss. Even though it was all tongue in cheek most of the time as the screenwriters tried to exploit the comedic vibe between Morris and Jerome, it just didnt work no matter how much you loved them. The music is there - just in UTCM. Only this time, I think it got drowned out by the thud that the movie made. It was too much to ask the average movie goer to accept - especially those who were not Prince fanatics. | |

This does sound better (honey, anything sounds better). So in your version are Morris and the Kid on the same side? Who is the mother of Morris' child, IS she also with the mob? I thought today that it was too bad that P killed off Christopher Tracy because he'd be an interesting character to look at and develope as a 50 plus year old man. It's too bad that GB was so bad that he's never tried again. I'd like to see him make another movie. | |

The mother of Morris' son?  Let me think about this.We could create a cool sub-plot out of this. | |

It erased all the goodwill from Purple Rain story. It was touted as a sequel of sorts but no Apps, no Revolution, and the mainnnn thing: Morris and Prince going at it with each other again.
Last I remember, Morris was in the First Avenue crowd jumpin up and down to Baby Im A Star. But the daddy issues remain  | |

[Edited 6/22/09 13:35pm] Ya know, I never even considered that fact. Which is probably why PR was a melancholic trip to me, subliminally and obviously. I felt no celebration after waiting for this movie for a year and ahlf. I left thwe theater in a funk while my cohorts were all excited and jabbering. I just witessed females being hit, one thrown in a dumpster, and Prince not even speaking a full sentence to his mother. More like "Ma's." Prince clearly has father issues in true life but damn, so blatant. The mother is damn near non existent in Rain. Frncis L smacking Prince and beating his mom. Pre Suge Knight-ish. And then dedicating a song Wendy and Lisa supposedly wrote to his wife beating father? Oh the blapshemy, irony or whatever fuckedupedness you want to call it
No wonder Prince has nothing to do with the film nowdays. . [Edited 6/22/09 13:44pm] | |

[Edited 6/22/09 13:44pm] He should have not only dedicate the song to Wendy and Lisa, he should have also dedciate it to Apollonia as an apology, It should have when like this "I would like to dedicate this song to Wendy and Lisa sorry for being an ass, and I would also like to dedicate this song to Apollonia, the girl I slapped, made her jump in the lake and also not let you have a sing career"  .[Edited 6/22/09 13:50pm] | |

I never really had a problem with Graffiti Bridge. I only wish it connected a little more with Purple Rain. I still like the film. I like that the film had a dream like feeling and sprituality. | |
