I recently purchased Purple Rain on DVD. No matter how many times I see this movie, I will never grow tired of it. Who cares if the instruments weren't really plugged in, and so what if they weren't good actors, it is still one of the greatest rock and roll pictures of all time. I already had it on video so why not DVD?
Anywho, I was fulling around in the menu hoping to find deleted scenes the would be found on the floor during editing, and decided to play the Theatrical Trailer. What I would find were scenes that did not make it to the film, from Prince meeting Appollonia at a (Mmmm....Appollonia) Sorry. Prince running into Appollonia at a barn which possibly led up to them getting it on while When doves cry was being played. Another scene which was removed was when Prince was in a tussle with Jellybean at the dance studio were Appollonia 6 was rehearsing and Prince suckerpunched him. Lastly, my sister went to see the movie when it first came out and she mentioned that they showed how badly beaten the mother was after Francis L whoop her ass. But cable-airing, video, DVD showed nada. It's like no one even wants to remember those scenes. If anyone has info on what happened here, please drop a brotha a line.
