I just watched "Showgirls" for the first time (I heard it was bad so I was avoiding it all this time) and there were 2 Prince songs in it: "319" and "Rippopgodazippa."

In "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back," Jay and Silent Bob are singing "Jungle Love" and telling these 2 kids how great The Time are. Towards the end, The Time show up to perform "Jungle Love" with J & SB. On his concert DVD, Kevin Smith talked about having worked with Prince to film at Paisley Park a few years back (was it "A Celebration?"). He asked P if he could use "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" for the Jay and Silent Bob movie. Prince said no, but said he could use "Jungle Love."

Also, in "William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet" (the one with Leo DiCaprio in it), a boys choir sings "When Doves Cry."

"king of queens"

doug talks with an ex-girlfriend of him in his bar - they went to a table and talked about their first evening:

doug ~: "can you remember our first evening - we went to a cinema first and saw a film about a 1m20cm heigh musician, who changed the music-world"

she answered ~: "Purple Rain - what a great film ...."


btw. not a film but song-apperance:
jan delay - "wir kinder vom bahnhof soul" - "hoffnung":

"ein tunnel ohne licht am ende
dunkelheit für immer
du kannst die sorgen nicht ertränken
sie sind verdammt gute schwimmer
doch zum glück kann ich vermelden
wie schlimm es auch immer kommen mag
da sind 2 die dir helfen
und das sind PRINCE und steve wonder"

in short:

the song is about how music can help you if you got the blues ...

so 2nd verse:

"if you feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel ...
...how bad it could come ...
... there a 2 the can help you ...
and these are PRINCE and steve wonder"

Some myths, just will not die. But in a way it fit this topic. Prince ( prince ) is referenced in the credits. Even if it is Sideways.

Prince is in SIDEWAYS?

Great thread, I was planning on posting a similar question ("Prince references in movies"), there are countless references to his songs, but not so many references to the man himself

Bruce Willis discusses Prince at least twice in his films:

In "The Last Boy Scout" he says his daughter likes Prince. Then Damon Wayans says he likes Prince too.

In "Unbreakable", Willis asks his wife what her favourite song is, and she says 'Soft and Wet, by the Artist Formerly Known as Prince.'
[Edited 10/6/09 9:27am]


Also, in 'The Last Boy Scout' Bruce Willis is in a strip club and 'Gett Off' is being played and Willis makes a comment about it, can't remember what but something about 'this kind of music'.

There's a scene in 'Waiting to Exhale' where 'Head' is played in a night-club.

i vaguely remember some internet-themed cut scene in the Simpsons where the screen split four-way with various peeps (P being the fourth) tapping away at keyboards. There was a Halloween episode too featuring P with symbol guitar...

I think that was the episode when they were making a "Radioactive Man" movie.


there are many a few of the Other Simpsons references:

When the dog has puppies one was called the Prince and another was "the puppy formerly known as prince"

In one where we see the future the tv shows a list of celebrities that got arrested: one was "the artiste formerly as prince

There may have been an episode in which Bart sings "My name is Bart" the song was going to be on the Simpson's YELLOW ALBUM. but the song was pulled.

The halloween episode, Homer killed P with the guitar. He then came back to earth with other celebrities Homer had murdered (he was doing it so that advertisers could use dead celebrities to sell stuff and they paid him for it) and they killed him. Good times.
Damon Dickson: Is it hair, a hat, or a dead cat?

Who's your favorite basketball

Magic Johnson.

MOOKIE
And not Larry Bird? Who's your

PINO
Eddie Murphy.

Mookie is smiling now.

MOOKIE
Last question: Who's your favorite
rock star?

Pino doesn't answer, because he sees the trap he's already
fallen into.

MOOKIE
Barry Manilow?

Mookie and Vito laugh.

MOOKIE
Pino, no joke. C'mon, answer.

VITO
It's Prince. He's a Prince freak.

PINO
Shut up. The Boss! Bruuucce!!!!

MOOKIE
Sounds funny to me. As much as you
say nigger this and nigger that,
all your favorite people are
"niggers."

PINO
It's different. Magic, Eddie,
Prince are not niggers, I mean, are
not Black. I mean, they're Black
but not really Black. They're more
than Black. It's different.

"Guns N Roses and of course U2. And Prince is great for having sex"

Jemaine: Yeah, but toned a bit, like, Prince if he was just going to the zoo or the supermarket.
Dave: Casual Prince?
Jemaine: Casual Prince.


Also Scary Movie comes 2 mind!
