Purple Rain, Unedited scenes, the Work Print (1984) ​⁠​⁠​⁠

This video contains a handful of scenes and some dialogue that was edited out of the final theatrical & later DVD releases. Since we’ll likely never get a real ‘Director’s Cut’ of the movie, you can see these scenes here. ⬇️ SCENE TIMES BELOW ⬇️

I wanted to post the entire unedited Work Print of the movie, but most of it gets blocked by copyright. Outside of the scenes in this video, the remainder of the Work Print is scene-for-scene the same as the released movie.

:: SCENES —
00:35 … Cut scene - Prince driving motorcycle home to hear his parents arguing, instead it cuts to Morris walking down the street talking to Billy, the club owner.

01:28 … Apollonia walking in the shopping plaza where she meets Prince is longer than the released version

02:37 … Longer and slightly different “Lake Minnetonka” scene, with additional dialogue by Prince and Apollonia

05:07 … Does not include the scene of Jerome looking at Apollonia from a distance

05:35 … A different sequence of scenes in the motorcycle riding montage (does not include the semi-famous drive under the bridge (or tunnel) with ‘God’ spray painted) **Note: YouTube /Copyright holders forced me to edit this scene down more than I wanted

06:46 … Additional Apollonia dialogue after Prince knocks her to the ground

07:52 … Does not include the scene of Prince’s father holding the gun before shooting himself

10:06 … Additional few extra seconds of Prince lying on the floor covering his father’s sheet music

11:37 … During The Bird and Purple Rain Intro (13:04) some of the audience edits are in a different order


Enjoy 🕊️☮️
