Sort of an obscure question, but I was sitting at home the other day reading the newspaper and the film, The Sting was on TV in the background. During a street scene I can't remember who was in the scene (Robert Shaw maybe), I distinctly heard a car horn beep followed by a shout of "Hey that's my taxi". I knew I'd heard it somewhere before then I suddenly realised it's the same background street clip used in the section between Lady Cab Driver and All The Critics.

I've read many times that Prince likes his movies, has anyone else got this film on vid or DVD ??, who could confirm this and does anyone know of any other film clips (not Batman obviously) that Prince has used on his records ??

The Godfather ("Bing, you blow his brains out...")
Scarface ("Hey, you gotta job man!")

both on Madhouse... plus there's a couple of other Scarface references (in I Wish U Heaven pt2 & The Flow) although they are not samples.

Back to the Future on the Mayte record as the intro to "House of Brick".

The Godfather... umm..what's his face there...al pacino (sp?) young wife in italy..her name is appolonia!

On 'Space' when the NASA types are talking rockets and shit that's from 'Superman IV the quest for peace'.

Anyone know where the "Very Impressive" is from on 'rock and roll is alive'?

I need to know
