The fool in the string-tie clapping on the 1 and 3 to Baby I'm a Star always drives me nuts. lol

I have always wondered about the Jimi Hendrix lookalike in the crowd, watching P's performance...

He is shown a couple of times, and I always thought it was intentional.

Anyone remember him?

That guy introducing 'Prince and the Revolution' does remind me somehow of the role Tim Curry played in the Rocky Horror Picture show...lol

I know exactly who you're talking about. Have no idea who he is...but I can picture him in my mind.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

The taxi driver that got stiffed by Apples - he never reported her to the cops

The apartment landlord - he didn't have her fill out a rental application or do any kind of credit check on her yet takes her chump change for a fully furnished apartment, which, is in the same building as Morris. Look at the interiors. Damn near identical.

Billy Sparks girlfriend - you know the one that gave Prince the side-eye after the Appollonia 6 performance.

Those two old fat ladies grooving to Appollonia 6 - They wore church clothes to the club! Come on now.

I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!
RIP Dick Clark, Whitney Houston, Don Cornelius, Heavy D, and Donna Summer. rose

Look at the interiors. Damn near identical. It isn't an apartment, it's a fleabag hotel. A flophouse. Rented by the week, cash in advance. In those places, the less they know about their "tenants," the better.

whofarted I had no idea. Flophouses come with furniture?

Yes, flophouses come with furniture - because they're hotels. How many hotels do you know of that make people bring their own furniture? wacky

I get such a kick out of these two, especially (if I recall correctly) the one on the right, 'cause she looks like my best friend's mom! lol

And I of course also recall the Hendrix-looking guy. In fact, I really 'bought' his performance, even though he was just an extra.

Noooo....I'm talking living room and kitchen stuff. Your average hotel will have 2 beds, a tv with stand and a desk.

Okay, you must have a different version of Purple Rain - because all I remember being in that room was a bed, a nightstand, a dresser and a coat rack.

You see an expanded view of Morris' place and since the main rooms of both his apartment and Apple's apartment look the same, I presume she has a kitchenette type space too. I still think they used the same room in both scenes.

I don't think they meant to imply that they lived in the same place, at all.
