Griffiti Bridge is aguably one of the worst films in history(acting,sets etc.).What are some specific moments that made your skin crawl? I'm still gonna buy it on DVD but this will make it all the more fun to watch.

the first hour and a half

The whole movie and soundtrack make me cringe.

I can't think of any particular scene. The whole thing is very cringe worthy. But there's nothing wrong with a bad movie! 1960s horror flick director Ed Wood is generally known to movie buffs as being the worst film director ever (and rightfully so!) but his movies sell really well because everyone is so curious about how one man can make so many horrible movies! Modern day director Tim Burton even made a movie biography about him!. Maybe Prince will get the same recognition . Nah, just kidding! What I love about Graffiti Bridge is it's sheer innocence. It's like a childrens drawing that you stick on the refridgerator: It's real bad, but the kid doesn't know that, but you can still see his spirit in there!. Can't knock Prince for trying can we?!

That one part when they have the "gangfight" and Prince shows up lookin all Boy George with his warpaint and his ponytail, and he's got "HURT ME" written on his damn self, and the best thing he can think of to do is sing "Tick Tick Bang".

the whole thing, except the joy in repitition bit that was bearable

Graffiti Bridge must be one of the most cringeworthy movies ever made. I was SO EMBARRASSED when I saw that movie, LOL!!

So I take it ya didn't like the flick much ?

toejam said:

:-DThis very true that's why I was hoping the org could nitpick it even further.

You people didn't like Graffiti Bridge?
I thought you were fans
What's next, "Jughead sucks?"

But seriously, the worst thing about the movie is that the musical scenes sucked, too.
Purple Rain had some bad scenes, like when Apollonia says "what do you dream about?"
But the performances made it great.

Scenes that suck:

1) The Elephants and Flowers scene where people kept walking out of the club even though you never saw them in the club. And the naked people dancing...unintentionally hilarious.

2) Any scene with TC Ellis

3) The scene with Ingrid Chavez under that fake ass bridge and Morris and Jerome driving over it.

4) Any scene that contains the dialogue "It's just around the corner".

5) The scene where the ambulance takes like 5 seconds to get there after Ingrid is smashed by the jeep and subsequently turns into a feather.

6) Pretty much every other scene in the movie.


Scenes that are okay;

1) The hot pepper scene and the dualing money clips scene with the Time. (Funny on purpose).

2) The Round and Round scene (even though I couldn't figure out if Mavis Staples was supposed to be his Mom).

There are probably any number of great drinking games for this movie. Drink a shot everytime Prince looks like a wounded puppy; drink a shot everytime the scenery looks fake, etc.

I cringed at those also.

I'm going with the vote of EVERYTHING but "Joy in Repetition."

Sadly, I dragged about 5 friends with me to the theatre opening day.

If I remember right Prince drives around the bridge, which would be essentially through the river, which obviously doesn't exist, since it's a soundstage (why the hell don't they just film outdoors?). He probably did this because it was so damn steep, as Morris showed in one of the amusing parts.

Like you said, the movie had some funny stuff, but most was unintentional.

Any scene where T.C. Ellis or Robin Power did ANYTHING!

I didn't mind the cheap-looking sets (I work in musical theatre, after all), but I hated the Bridge itself... it looked like they'd stumbled onto the set of the Dark Crystal after the post-shooting wrap party!

madartista said:

So what did your friends say about the movie ?

Everytime Prince leans into what you think will be a kiss with Aura and then - a hug. Arghh! I dragged some college friends to that on opening night. They thought I was off my rocker!

"Too fine, huh?"

"She's three fine!"

Tragically bad...

Let's make it easier - list the scenes that didn't make you cringe.
.

I just hate the bridge itself. You name a movie and a song after a bridge, you'd expect it to be pretty special and central to the movie somehow - instead it's just some paper mache fairy tale thing in the middle of an unrealistic outdoor set. And kids have travelled all the way out of the city JUST to put graffiti on it.

And the angel woman lives underneath it.

Like a troll.

Apparently we are all looking for Grafitti Bridge. I should think it is in a skip somewhere.

GottaLetitgo said:

Thats exactly what I was going to say!!

Anxiety said:

that is 2 hilarious!!!!!

i have to fast forward the scene when tevin campbell is about to sing round and round...those lines were so corny....

i remember i tried to make myself watch it all the way through without skipping any scenes...but i always ended up cutting it completely off way b4 the end is near.....

Shall we say were in Paris....

I dont know...

Shall we say were in Rome....

We could....

I watched this movie again..and it is very fake . Im sorry Its fake...especially the bridge. I was expecting more.

That part was kinda funny to me because Ingrid didnt even know the parts that she was supposed 2 say. She didnt even hardly open her mouth when she was supposed 2.

But when the DVD come out IM GETTIN IT! I never saw the Question Of U video !

the part that makes me cringe in graffit bridge the most is when he performs the song where he says "oooh, it's gettin all over me." I think that's actually my least favorite prince song.

And, when P saves ol' girl from morris' jungle lovin', it shows him carrying her to his home/club whatever, and he's not breaking a sweat. he's just kinda groovin' along. I thought that was fake, but who knows, maybe he actually was carrying her. Just thought it kinda odd.

Official langebleu stalker here. I would have to say I did like the closing credits.

after all is said and done ya'll know you are going to buy it on DVD in August

Anxiety said:

LOL. It was like mixing one of Michael Jackson's stupid dancing gang warefare videos with the cast of Fame and Welcome Back Carter. Cringworthy only begins to explain the emotional rollercoaster I went through

Definately the scene where Ingrid is plowed over by the vehicle and the ambulance is their within seconds. The Morris Day line was sooooo aweful, I found myself wanting to rent Desperately Seeking Susan to feel better for being a PRince fan.
