Prince music in the movies Was watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall last night (love the Dracula song) and Nothing Compares to you in Hawaiian is played over the credits, which got me wondering how many of Prince's songs have popped up in movies over the years? I know Kiss has been used a few times; Pretty Woman, Happy Feet, Under The Cherry Moon, Gett off is in PS I Love You, When Doves Cry in Romeo and Juliet.

Gett Off is in a movie with Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans, don't remember the name.
And then there's Showgirls... |

When u were mine> Hot Dog the Movie.  Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews. | |

Well this wasn't his music that I spotted in a movie but a mention: - in Rock of Ages when the 2 young main characters are singing in the record store u see the Purple Rain record on the shelf - in What to Expect When you're Expecting J-Lo's showed a photo of her husband who had a Purple Rain theme 4 his birthday cos he loved Prince. He was Prince & she was a showgirl  Peace in the House of Prince. | |

Gett off is also featured in a cool vampire horror film by John Landis called "Innocent Blood". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innocent_Blood_%28film%29 It's played in a strip club scene with lots of barenaked girls. [Edited 7/15/12 21:15pm] |

The Cheech & Chong movie with Delirious is Still Smokin'.
The Bruce Willis & Damon Wayons movie with Gett Off is The Last Boy Scout.

Lets not forget Spike Lee's Girl 6 which is all Prince songs throughout the movie as his music is the entire soundtrack.
Also, I always though it strange that I read that Prince said no to the using of Kiss for Happy Feet but it seems like other movies, as mentioned in this thread, didn't seem to have to ask the Grand Pupa for permission to use one of his songs execept Kevin Smith but he wanted to use Most Beautiful Girl in the World which Prince controlled. But all of his other catalog should be controlled by Warner, correct? It turned out OK as he won a Golden Globe for his original Happy Feet song but still always wondered about that process.
Also, just remembered Nasty Girl in Beverly Hills Cop as well as Dan in Real Life.

No audible Prince music, but the Purple Rain, Sign 'o' The Times and Batman albums are mentioned/seen in Shawn Of The Dead.

A John Landis vampire movie called Innocent Blood, with Gett Off http://www.dailymotion.co...scene_sexy You might have to have a dailymotion account to view, because of explicit content. | |

Cool thread.
If I remember correctly, a Vanity 6 song ('Nasty Girl' ?) is playing while Audrey hangs out in her cousin's bedroom, in 'National Lampoon's Vacation'.
One of the kids from 'The Goonies', is wearing a Purple Rain t-shirt. "Something about a little box with a mirror and a tongue inside....." | |

"Do Me baby" - In Rush Hour 3
interestingly, when Noemi Lenoir's name came up and this song was playing, well taht says it all!
'dre Tried many flavours - but sooner or later, always go back to the Purple Kool-aid!
