TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

A few days before the premiere, Prince had a nightmare that Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert despised the film, with Ebert ripping the film apart. He said, "I dreamed those two guys on the TV were reviewing the movie and that fat guy was tearing me up!" Siskel and Ebert both loved the film in their reviews.

When The Kid's father is playing the piano, the music is actually being played by Prince.

Apollonia Kotero was married at the time of filming. She was sworn to secrecy about it, so people would really think she and Prince were a couple.

Scenes of Wendy and Lisa kissing, suggesting a same-sex relationship, were deleted from the final version. In real life, they were in a relationship.

Prince's protégée, Vanity, was originally slated to be cast as the Kid's love interest. She left the film prior to shooting, and the girl group "Vanity 6" became "Apollonia 6".
