"3 Chains 'O' Gold" - Who's seen it? What's it like?

I never really heard anything about this movie till I found it on the IMDB. The plot description piqued my curiosity:

In Egypt, princess Maytes father is assassinated by 7 men, leaving her with the sacred three chains of gold. She decides to seek out the help of Prince in USA, and sends him a tape of her dancing. Prince immediately falls in love with her, but is frightened by the commitment. He tries to escape through having sex with others, but his heart isn't in it. His heart belongs to Mayte... Prince's namechange into prince is also addressed; a scene depicts him killing off old versions of himself (the 7 killers).


What is this movie like? How do they handle the scene where he kills off old versions of himself?

Oh man, ignore the plot. It's basically non-existent.

Basically goes like this - quick flash of boobs, lots of good songs, it ends.

It's just a bunch of his videos from the prince album era strung together with a wafer-thin plot that has no real sense to it.

I mean: "He tries to escape through having sex with others" - I bet that excuse worked!!!

As for a scene depicting him killing off old versions of himself - I think they are just referring to the video of '7'.

This is just a poor, over-hyped and confusing write-up of the video. If you are collecting all of his videos, then I guess you'd be trying to get this, but it' not a movie, there's barely a plot, and there's no intrigue.

It's somewhere between bad Cinemax soft-porn and Graffiti Bridge gone gangsta. It's worth a few chuckles I s'pose, but it's mainly just pretty painful purple schlock.
