Maybe, just maybe, it will be in 2026, if we are lucky.

Ahhhh... if only. So many times I've thought about how much I want to LIVE in that movie's world. That's what they need - "Under the Cherry Moon: The VR Experience"

.

But instead we're stuck with this...

Has a deluxe version of UTCM with bonus footage been released already or yet to be? The trailer always showed scenes not in the movie definitely would be something to see if they still exist any thoughts?

Honestly, I was very happy that the original DVD release at least included the videos!

Who's going to release a deluxe version of a movie nobody went to see?

But it is something fans would buy. I definately would. I think the movie is a guilty pleasure for a lot of us. Griffiti Bridge I just can't with...

//- Someone who wants to cash in on someone's death.

A family that wants to pay the tax bill so the government doesn't take it all away. There's a big difference.

Not that this is even a real thing.

It was our first glimpse of the humorous side of prince we had yet to see up to that point. In Purple rain the music spoke. prince portraying a prankster/gigolo was new to us. The world was his after the success of PR and he was enjoying his fame.i think it was a movie he did for himself his friends and his die hard fans and was on to the next project never looking back.

lol

actually in PR we did see the prankster side and a touch of humor. Like the dressing room scene with the puppet, the scene in the Kids basement were he sneaks up on Apollonia to scare her and the hand transing thing and of course the Lake scene

He messed up, he was angry about the outcome and lack of success, he's dealt with it in interviews into the 90s. He blamed other people etc etc It could have been a really good movie...

WHY oh WHY oh WHY couldn't they have included the "Cherry Moon Premiere Party" special the way they did with the one on "Purple Rain"??

.

It's one of the GREATEST THINGS EVER. For numerous reasons. Everything about it absolutely rules.

.

Favorite moments:

.

Prince leaving Martha Quinn mid-interview to throw his coat to the screaming crowd.

.

Jerome not knowing just what to do or say when they throw to him (and stating exactly that, on camera!)

.

Any and everything to do with Lisa Barber - so awkward, yet so endearing.

.

Poor Kristin Scott Thomas, future Oscar nominee, having to play second fiddle to Emmanuelle Sallet.

.

The reactions of the Sheridan townspeople.

.

John L. Nelson's appearance, slying taking credit for his son's greatness.

.

Of course, Prince and expanded Revolution's performance.

YES YES YES, that was a wonderful part UPTOWN goes 2 Sheridan WY

not to mention Mazarati opening

Just another example of who the full camp of Prince just expressed a Purple culture

and this goes for PR too, what movie does not have deleted scenes...

I think of Prince and what he might have been like taking over as director and I think of this picture

Prince: "Mary Lambert, ure fired! Gett out!"

Hey lady mama

don't expect it. They took a bath on the original release and I can't imagine that there is a huge market for the deluxe version.

I guess seen from the perspective of some of the people who went nuts for Prince at Purple Rain period, Under The Cherry Moon was and is not an 'event'.
I don't know if it even got in cinemas in the UK, something I had never wondered about until now.

All I know is that on VHS it became quite the student hit, just like Magical Mystery Tour had for The Beatles after it flopped on UK TV and wasn't broadcast in the US.

I will never forget the day I was elected as the one to go and get the VHS from the video library by my housemates. It was a big gathering and after much discussion, it was agreed to see this film that only one of us had checked out with the report that 'It's nothing like Purple Rain. It's not even the same Prince. And it's in black and white'
I just remember everyone going 'Hmmm...' with nobody really voting positively FOR it but everyone seeming curious.
Anyway it got voted for and I got voted to go.
On that day there had been a storm brewing and I got totally caught in it, spending most of the time in a telephone booth to shelter from it (the scene in a telephone booth in the film later crystalising this memory association for me and several others who were 'at this experience').
When I got back, everybody as really REALLY stoned and impatient to see the film.

During the preamble, it emerged that most of the people hadn't liked or hadn't seen Purple Rain but were interested in him more after the Kiss single (which remained on saturation radio play in the UK prssibly because it seems to be too short a single).

Anyway, all I can tell you is that most of these people are still in regular contact and all of them became huge Prince fans because of Under The Cherry Moon which, on that dark, storm day just whisked us away. People were just going 'That was really enjoyable' afterwards or 'Quirky. I liked it' and we all thought the comedy aspect was well played (later some people who hadn't seen Purple Rain corrected that and were saying that they'd taken it to be a po-faced rock movie they didn't want to see but had found it incredibly funny instead).

I think we got so into 'black and white' mode that the next few viewings in our house were also black and whites.

So, like a lot of other people, the fact that UTCM was not a giant hit is just its role in the Prince canon. It's to be discovered. Just as until its reissue a few years ago, Magical Mystery Tour was always the Beatles film I'd never seen and, currently, in their canon, Let It Be now holds that spot for most.
Every great artist must have lost gems, stuff that you can pull out and say 'I bet you've never seen/heard this'.
I know that people who just have taken a dislike to Prince will hate it but I have found that anyone with an open mind, even if they haven't any great fandom for him, gets into this movie without a problem. The idea that it's supposed to be something else is what interferes with enjoyment of it. I guess this is why Exactly The Same As The Last Sequel 4 will be a hit with a lot of people and completely uninteresting to the likes of me.

In my experience, Prince and this movie come under the same kinda split.
Prince to women has always been 'gorgeous' or 'omg he's an ugly little creep'

Prince to men has always been 'a genius' or 'gay'.

Geminis more than most seem to have a desire to be loved by everyone (Paul McCartney being another) yet contrarily incapable of staying put with their output if it hits the spot with a large audience. Other artists can easily stay in the groove that's gone big-time and move it along slowly and these artists are beloved of record companies because they're solid earners.
But who gives a FUCK about them?
It's the mavericks who generate all the interest. And they will fail regularly and change even more regularly. Thank God for their inconsistency! Only from them can we get anything OTHER than Exactly The Same As The Last Album 7

Totally, totally, totally.

I have actually only just seen the stuff you're talking about though after x million years of never having heard about it and the problem with asking 'why why why' is that the question never gets to somebody who might consider it AND is the position to do something about it.
Yes, you can sign petitions and send them to blackhole@nowhere.really but the best way remains the letter with a stamp on it sent to the correct department and possibly even the correct person, arrived at through research.

And I am writing that letter.

Bt I must say I have written the letter before. About other artists/movies/reissues.
Often it's rights. The rights to that TV show belong to a different company who may not be yielding them for various reasons.
I know that Beatles movies (including Let It Be) have been held up on this issue. Companies issuing reissues like to do so when they own the project outright. Partnership splits on rights are not common so often these projects can be released only when that is achieved. And you can see how ignoring a property in your possession in order to drive down interest will also drive down the price to pay for supplementary material in others' possession.
So you gotta think laterally here.
If you want to get hold of some stuff that isn't yours to attach it to something that IS, then it's quite tricky not to encourage 'No' as the answer to the question 'Can I have it?'
