YMMV: Purple Rain
|
- Award Snub: The soundtrack lost the 1985 Grammy award for Album Of The Year to Lionel Richie's Can't Slow Down, though it did win an Oscar for Best Original Score.
- Crowning Music of Awesome: Hell, the first eight minutes of the movie are more than enough.
- Let's face it, the whole soundtrack. And even the movie's non-Prince and the Revolution material is pretty good!
- "Funny Aneurysm" Moment: Prince's character in Purple Rain is a Jerkass who bullies Wendy and Lisa and restricts their creativity. In Real Life, Prince was a huge Jerkass to Wendy and Lisa. Happy viewing!
- Just Here for Godzilla: The only reason anybody would watch this is for the music.
- Unfortunate Implications: The movie seems to suggest that while raping or beating up women is not really acceptable, anything else (playing cruel pranks on them, tossing them into garbage bins for a cheap laugh) is fair game.
- Then again, Morris is evidently a Jerkass, and The Kid, well... he's kind of a Jerkass too.
