Purple Rain (1984) - 5 corrections

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry Just before looking at the guitar in the window, Prince takes an item from Apollonia and asks who gave it to her. There is no answer, but he says she's lying. [Actually when Prince asks her who gave it to her she says, "A person". He then asks if they were male or female and she then says, "Huh?". I have the DVD and have never had a problem hearing her answers. I even put the subtitles on to be sure of what she says.]
Entry When The Kid first sees Apollonia, he walks around a corner and the post-it board is to his left. The camera moves quickly to the right to show that he's looking at her and you don't see the waitress standing between them. The camera angle changes and the waitress in now seen standing between them. [If the scene is watched frame by frame you can see the waitress between the The Kid and Apollonia. The pan was so quick, you don't see her.]
Entry When they remove Kid's father from the basement to rush him to the hospital they lift him off the ground on a stretcher and you can see that there are no markings on the floor. As Kid is thinking about what happened, he looks at the floor and you now see a tape outline of a body on the floor. [The way I interpret this scene, which is mentioned twice in the mistakes section, is that even though his father didn't succeed in killing himself, maybe The Kid was "wishful thinking" his father had died.]
Entry Prince comes back inside First Avenue backstage after singing "Purple Rain" and gives Apollonia a kiss. Moments later she's placed in the middle of the crowd. [That was not Apollonia. He kissed the girl that works at the club. The woman that he kisses has blond hair, Apollonia's hair is black.]
Entry Right before The Kid knocks down Morris in the alley with his motorcycle, he is seen driving through the alley and you can plainly see that the driver of the motorcycle is white. [Well, Prince is fairly light skinned. In certain lighting he could be mistaken for a white guy. Prince is an avid motorcyclist so he probably did the riding secenes himself].
