Exactly what I was thinking too!!

I would never live in one. lol

Outside the HOUSE







This scene was in LA and that's not Olga, we never see her face either








Yeah, even if that had been filmed in Minn, those houses in the background are in a different price range than theirs. So when the Kid says he saw his Mom up the street, he meant way way that way up the street.
What?

Yes there was a fight, you can see a little of it in the trailer. I read somewhere that Jellybean said in an interview that during the fight, Prince accidentally hit him for real, and that he was really apologetic.

(76) INT. REHEARSAL HALL -- DAY

The PLACE is JUMPING! Once again The
Time is deep in the guts of "Sex
Shooter," but now there's a difference.
The MUSIC is fiercer and crisper -- the
BEAT tailored, more defined.

Morris and Jerome stand off to the side
sporting huge grins. They're avidly
watching...

...Vanity, Susan, and Brenda dancing up
a fierce storm. Vanity fronts the two
Girls and moves panther-like in front of
the mirrors...

She's a dynamo, her face drawn tightly,
her movements crisp and precise. She
urges the Girls on, suggests and
cajoles, strengthening their resolve.
Sweat lathers their bodies and forms
rings on their Danskins. The act is
still very rough, but the potential for
success can be felt.



PRINCE suddenly enters the hall. Morris
spots him immediately and halts the
MUSIC. The Girls dance on a moment,
then stop perplexed. Vanity catches
Prince's look, shakes her head in
disbelief--

PRINCE
I want to talk to you.

She's out of breath, waves him off--

VANITY
Not now, I'm busy.

PRINCE
Now.

A TITTER goes through the Band Members -
- Vanity wipes her face, fixes him with
a glare--

VANITY
I said I'm busy -- we'll talk
later.

PRINCE
Uh, uh...

He grabs her suddenly, pulls her to the
door--

VANITY
Leave me alone! I've got a
show to do!

She pulls away savagely--

VANITY
YOU can't just come in here
and take me away! We'll talk
later!

Morris is enraged--

MORRIS
Man -- why don't you just do
the walk?

Prince glares at him, cups his genitals-
-

PRINCE
Why don't you kiss the one-
eyed snake?

The Band lets out a condescending GROAN
-- the tension rises




MORRIS
Jellybean!

Jellybean, 6'4", 210 pounds, steps from
behind the drums, moves up behind Prince-
-

JELLYBEAN
Let's go, Jack.

PRINCE
Fuck you!

He lunges, grabs Vanity again -- she
SHRIEKS--

VANITY
Leave me alone, dammit! Get
out of here!

Jellybean lurches, grabs Prince in a
HEADLOCK, lifts him off his his feet.
Prince kicks at him wildly--

JELLYBEAN
(enraged)
Fucker!!

He twists Prince's head backwards,
SMASHES his body to the ground--

JELLYBEAN
Stay still, motherfucker!!

But Prince continues fighting him with
everything he's got! Jellybean is
astonished--

JELLYBEAN
Shit!!

He twists Prince's neck savagely,
SMASHES! his legs to the floor again and
again--

JELLYBEAN
Stop!!

Vanity is crying--

VANITY
Jellybean, please...



Prince drops to his hands and knees exhausted. Everybody is
frozen now -- scared. The Girls are crying, the incedent
has already gone too far...


Jellybean settles his weight on Prince,
twists his head down painfully, trying
to break the resistance he alone can
feel. Prince remains silent, the anger
coursing through his body in tremors--

The Guys surround them, grabbing
Prince's arms, legs, and feet. He's
like a trapped animal now--

JELLYBEAN
Lift him.

VANITY
(crying)
Don't hurt him ...

They pick him up, move him toward the
door. He resists them slightly, his
body lurching in fit and starts.
Suddenly he breaks free, faces them with
his back to he door. But the Band
Members surround him, their wills
united, the obviousness of the situation
apparent to all.

He searches for Vanity's eyes, but she
can't face him and walks away. Anger
again surges in his veins. He cuts out
the door, SLAMS it behind him.

Prince is 5'2 Jellybean is like 6'5 I would be sorry too. lol

TONE: Tell me about working with Prince.

Jellybean: He and I had a fight scene that got edited out of the movie. He accidentally hit me. He was quite apologetic. The scenes were fun. During the shooting of "The Bird," Prince was making us shoot it over and over again. There was a lot of just hangin' around at First Avenue and The Union Bar.

TONE: Wasn't there another big "real" fight that happened?

Jellybean: This has been written about in other books, but yeah. A couple, I mean. I was always in the middle. Prince used to always treat Jimmy the worst. Because they're both geniuses, they clashed. Now, in hindsight, Jimmy deserved most of that s*'t. Prince fired Jimmy and Terry when they missed a gig. It wasn't their fault. I quit, and Prince asked me to come back. I was having my first child, Bianca. Jesse said, "C,mon let's do this thing." So I came back, but Jimmy and Terry didn't. I was asked to fix it, but it was years later that Prince, Jimmy and Terry mended fences. The other fight was between Morris Day and Prince. It was during filming, a fistfight, and I had to break it up. These are two enormous egos, and eventually it came to a head. There was one big show at First Avenue that was supposed to happen. After the show, Morris was OUT the back door into his waiting Porsche with his girlfriend and GONE! The Time disbanded. The next time I saw Morris (laughs), he was talkin' about the "Oak Tree."

I'm not sure how accurate the final quote was by Jellybean because at the time of the October 83 show, very little of the ICE CREAM CASTLE album was recorded, and the video for Ice Cream Castles was shot the following spring. From everything that I've heard, Morris didn't officially leave the Prince camp until May/June of 1984.

The expanded version of my book PRINCE and The Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983-1984 was released in November 2018. (www.amazon.com/gp/product/1538114623/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0) or www.facebook.com/groups/1...104195943/

I know I'm not the only one that wishes this hadn't been cut! lol

.

I wonder if that's the hit? Doesn't really look like an accident lol He even paused for a second right before..

.

And I love that "Oh I think you are" grin on P's face when he's pulling her away.

(89) EXT. THE TASTE -- NIGHT



COMMOTION. CARS are THICK in front of
THE TASTE, a small NIGHTCLUB located in
the poorer part of the city. Because of
its location, The Taste books different
dance bands four nights a week and then
hosts a Variety Night the remaining two.
Aspiring comedians, dancers and jugglers
flock to Variety Night, desirous of
trying their material in front of a live
audience -- and hoping to catch the
discering eye of a talent scout on the
prowl.

Billy Sparks pulls up to the curb, gets
out with a beautiful WOMAN and cuts
inside.

(90) INT. BACKSTAGE, THE TASTE -- NIGHT
Jerome stands BACKSTAGE fidgeting
nervously, staring appreciatively at the
closed dressing room door. Various
PEOPLE in COSTUMES pass by sporadically.
Suddenly a burst of APPLAUSE and
LAUGHTER wafts into the hallway. Jerome
walks to the curtain and peers out--


(91) INT. THE TASTE -- NIGHT

JEROME'S POV--
Billy Sparks and his Girlfriend being
seated at a front table. A COMEDIAN is
on stage juggling KNIVES and HATCHETS.
The CROWD is ROARING their approval.

No. The warehouse was in Eden Prairie. Paisley Park is in Chanhassen.

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

Yes! I don't get this man. I understand his whole "not living in the past" deal, but the majority of his fans haven't adopted this mindset and WANT the classic stuff. I wish he'd release more live shows, too.. his concerts are amazing and finding them online is damn near impossible now. sigh
