Graffiti Bridge continues with The Kid, living future life as an upbeat performer and co-owner of a club, Glam Slam – which was willed to him from Billy, who was the owner of First Avenue Club in the first film. Solitary and lovelorn, he spends his personal time composing songs, and writing letters to his deceased father.
The other co-owner who was included in the will is Morris (Morris Day), his rival who now also owns his own club, Pandemonium, while desiring control of the other two clubs in the Seven Corners area – which are Melody Cool, and the Clinton Club. Needing to pay the mayor of Seven Corners $10,000, Morris attempts to extort The Kid – by threatening to take full ownership of Glam Slam. Making matters more interesting is the arrival of Aura, an angel sent from Heaven to sway both Morris and The Kid into leading more righteous lives – while dealing with their attraction to her.
As The Kid continues to show resistance, Morris begins to embarrass him by way performances with his band, to steal The Kid’s customers. Losing clientele and having his club defamed by Morris’s henchmen, The Kid decides to challenge Morris to a music battle for ownership of Glam Slam.
Graffiti Bridge is a 1990 American rock musical drama film written by, directed by, and starring Prince in his fourth and final film role. It is the sequel to his 1984 film Purple Rain. Like its predecessor, it was accompanied by a soundtrack album of the same name.
