Graffiti Bridge Missing Scenes

This is no bullshevick and I have proof to back it up... here goes: in this flick when Morris walks into the Kids joint he says "the king has arrived". That scene was cut cuz I have a clip from a preview of the movie on some show where Morris replies "guess who the queen is?". Any other scenes y'all know about?

There are 3 hours of outtakes to make a whole movie because what was released was bloopers and blunders.

There was also that missing scene where, right after Aura gets killed, Dionne Warwick walks on the set and says "HI. I'M DIONNE WARWICK. WELCOME TO SOLID GOLD!"

The test audience said her cameo didn't make enough sense, so they took it out. I hear Prince was pissed.

No, see, they WANTED Patti but they didn't have the budget for her, so they had Dionne do the cameo on her lunchbreak from working at the Psychic Friends Network.

there was that scene where Aura paints
a blue heart on Prince's chest, that
got cut out.

And so did the whole 'Latest Fashion'
scene on the carnival float stage.

I had a co-worker once who had a friend that worked at the place in Los Angeles, CA where all the master tapes of all the movies are stored. Anyway, my co-worker used to get copies of various movies that were not yet released on video because his friend worked the nightshift and would make him copies of the movies. I asked if he knew of the so-called 4 hour promo of "Graffiti Bridge" that was originally made before Warner Bros cut it down to a 90 minute version because test audiences didn't like the long version (!! They must have shown it to the wrong people). Anyway, he surprised me by saying that Yes his friend did have access to it, but No he wouldn't make me a copy because he wasn't a Prince fan and didn't want to sit through 4 hours of tape to make me a copy!! I was so upset! I really wish he had just told me that his friend didn't know what I was talking about! I have also heard of a few other people that got promo copies of the long version on video prior to it's release in 1990, but I have never been successful in locating a copy myself! sad

TYPICALLY if such a version existed and had been secured it would have been booted by now.

Wasn't Solid Gold hosted by Marylin McCoo?
