Indeed. I think moments like those show that he actually is not that much of a bad actor. He has potential, there are just too many things in his way to really prove it.

Asides from the live performances, it's a close tie between the password scene, the lake scene and the dumpster scene.

The dumpster scene is pretty funny too. Morris and Jerome are walking down the street, and a girl comes up to them:

Girl: "Morris, do you know, I've been waiting up all night for you! I'm so tired of this shit! Who the fuck do you think I am?"
Morris: "Jerome."

Jerome picks up girl, and puts her in the dumpster, closes the lid and walks away, all the while the girl is screaming, "Morris, Morris!"

Jerome walks back to where Morris is standing, and they stand and watch while the girl opens the dumpster lid, and just looks at the both of them with a totally pissed off look on her face. Morris says to Jerome, "Oh lawd, such nastiness! Let's go."

Just picturing this scene in my mind makes me laugh.

Love the whole movie, but especially love The Beautiful Ones, Lake Minnetonka scene, and the cutaway where Prince is cleaning up the sheet music he trashed the night before, and he finds the earring he gave to Apples. He smiles just as she comes in and he tosses her the earring. They join hands then kiss. Love the lighting in that scene. There are lots of funny parts I like that are too numerous to mention.

Its hard ot pick a favorite but The Beautiful Ones performance..his best ever imho but what really gets me is when he plays Purple Rain on the piano after he wakes up the next morning after he trashed his room...and then it cuts ot him just staring, waiting to go on and perform said song...that scene and the piano version music is great

Agreed. Apollonia's boobs. Not to be shallow or anything. Computer Blue is the best performance.

November 1983. 3 blocks from my house. My friends got letters from the production company in advance of shooting.

This is a screengrab from the Let's Go Crazy video, but it's a scene from the movie after Francis L shoots himself. Blink and you miss it. I'm to the right of the pause logo next to the squad car, the camera dolly and the director were behind me (my noggin looks freakishly oblong).

yeah i remember my brother watching this part seriously and says to me ''look at the emotion on this womans face'' lol

This thread is dope. I just can't stop looking at the gifs and pictures. Everything in Purple Rain is dope, but when Morris is trying to run game on Apollonia when he buys that champagne is PRICELESS! And of course, and part where Prince is... Just IS! He is gorgeous! But I digress...

Peace, Hip Hop & Purple Rain

Cool!! I'll check it out on the film..

So, did you get to meet the man? Witness anything exciting? Must have been fun to be involved!

Yeah, but Wendy pulls a really strange face when he does that! A cross between disgusted and completely bemused! I like that part too though, I think it was totally spontaneous and 'him' rather than for the film.
