Trivia:

The movie had an unlikely spot for its world premiere - the Centennial Twin Theater in Sheridan, Wyo. - in June 1986. Local resident Lisa Barber won the right to host the premiere by being the 10,000th caller in MTV's "Prince Under the Cherry Moon" contest. Several members of the cast (including Prince) and a few notables such as Joni Mitchell and Ray Parker Jr. showed up in the north-central Wyoming city for the event, which also featured a post-movie party and a 45-minute private concert from Prince at the local Holiday Inn. more

Goofs:

Continuity: The handwriting "Wrecka Stow" on the napkin changes from the restaurant scene to the bedroom scene where Mary Sharon is holding the napkin on her bed. more

Quotes:

Tricky: I want a girl who's smart, a girl who can teach me things. I hate stupid women. You know why? You marry a stupid girl, you have stupid kids. You don't believe me? Follow a stupid kid home and see if somebody stupid don't answer the door. more

Sorry...this movie sucks...unless you're a Prince groupie, 21 November 2007
1/10
Author: sparkindigo from United States

I am a fan of Prince. Don't get me wrong. But this movie was as bad as most people thought it to be. If you notice in most of the positive reviews here, the author will often say something like, "Of all of Prince's movies..." Look, if you have seen more than 2 of Prince's movies, you are a Prince groupie and thus can not be counted on to give an unbiased review. Personally, after this train wreck, I refrained from seeing any more of his theatrical releases and stuck to just enjoying his music. So, if Graffiti Bridge was a good movie...I can't tell you. I loved Purple Rain, though. But sometimes you catch lightning in a bottle and you just can't reproduce it. Can't blame him for trying though.
