The Revolution, the flashy Morris Day and his group The Time, and Dez Dickerson and his group The Modernaires concur the nightclub'south three firm ring slots. Morris, enlightened that The Revolution'due south guitarist Wendy and keyboardist Lisa are frustrated that The Child is unwilling to play their compositions, lobbies Billy Sparks, the order'south owner, to replace The Revolution with a daughter grouping which Morris is already forming. He targets the Child'south girlfriend Apollonia—an aspiring singer and new arrival in Minneapolis—to lead his grouping, and tries to persuade her that The Kid won't help her considering he's besides focused on himself. She somewhen joins Morris's group, which Morris names Apollonia half-dozen. When she reveals her newfound partnership to the Kid, he becomes furious and slaps her, every bit his father had struck him before.
At the social club, The Child responds to the internal ring strife, the pressure to draw more crowds, and his strained private life with the uncomfortably personal "Darling Nikki". His operation publicly humiliates Apollonia, who runs off in tears, and angers both Morris and Billy, worsening his situation. Billy confronts the Kid, castigating him for bringing his personal life onto the stage and alert him that he's wasting his musical talent as his father did. Apollonia half dozen successfully debuts, and Billy warns the Kid that his Commencement Avenue slot is at risk. The Kid seizes Apollonia from a drunken Morris and the ii argue and fight; Apollonia then abandons him. Returning domicile, he finds the house in tatters, with his mother nowhere to exist constitute. When he turns on the basement light, his father—who had been lurking in the basement with a loaded handgun—shoots himself in the head. Frenzied later on a nighttime of torment, the Kid tears apart the basement to release his frustration, merely to find a large box of his father'southward musical compositions. The next morning time, the Kid picks up a cassette tape of one of Wendy and Lisa's compositions, a rhythm track named "Tiresome Groove", and begins to compose.
That dark at First Avenue, all is quiet in The Revolution's dressing room until The Fourth dimension stops by to taunt the Kid almost his family life.

Production [edit]
Development [edit]
After the success of his album 1999, Prince confronted Cavallo and told him he would not renew his contract with him unless he got to star in a studio film. Every studio they had met with rejected the premise of a musician-led film, leading Cavallo to produce the picture himself. Prince spent months writing down the basic plot points of the moving-picture show, and Cavallo commissioned Blinn to write the script. Blinn's original script, titled Dreams,[9] was much darker. Reckless director James Foley was offered to directly the picture show, but was non interested and instead passed it on to his editor Magnoli,[ix] who disliked Blinn's script for defective "truth",[10] and was then hired to straight and edit after delivering a pitch on the spot to Cavallo.[11]
Prince intended to cast Vanity, leader of the girl group Vanity 6, but she left the group before filming began. Her role was initially offered to Jennifer Beals (who turned it down considering she wanted to concentrate on college) earlier going to Kotero, who was then well-nigh unknown. Prince had seen her advent on the February 1983 episode of Tales of the Gold Monkey, in which she played a saucy isle daughter (inspired by Jamie Muller, the only person who Prince trusted to cut the grass of his Minnesota domicile at the time of filming) who was sleeping with a High german human of the cloth.[12] Excluding Prince and his onscreen parents, nearly every graphic symbol in the movie is named afterwards the actor who plays him or her.
After the character change from Vanity to Apollonia, the script was drastically revised, and many dark scenes were cut. Some of these scenes include Prince and Apollonia having sex in a barn (a concept which was the story behind the 1985 song "Raspberry Beret"); Prince going to Apollonia 6'south rehearsal and physically fighting with the members of The Fourth dimension; and a scene which featured Prince's mother talking to him about her shaky relationship with his father. In add-on, many scenes such as the "Lake Minnetonka" scene, Apollonia first meeting Morris, and the railyard scene were cutting down considering of time constraints. Many clips from these scenes were featured, however, in the trailer for the movie as well as the "When Doves Cry" and "Let'south Go Crazy" montage.
