"Prince was like a combination between Mozart, Charlie Chaplin and Michael Corleone".

In part 3 Sam discusses Prince's legacy with Hans-Martin Buff, and asks him why he chose to leave Paisley Park. Interesting discussion about 'the elders' - Chaka; Larry & Maceo - too.

Corleone? Really? Come on, Hans. Not funny at all.
(And yes, I understand what he meant, but still. Let's just not use the name of a criminal in the same sentence as Prince's.)

Nothing wrong about that. he said clearly "not meant in a nasty way"

The use of Corleone's fictional character story within the explanation of Hans makes perfect sense.

A perfect example of the hard wrong choice Prince made;

either you're in the Prince compound or not.
