What do Jim Brown and Richard Pryor have to do with it?
Well actually, nothing. The movie was shopped around to a few production companies including Jim Brown’s and Richard Pryor’s “Indigo Productions.” Jim Brown saw Prince’s talent and believed in the movie.

Naturally after he saw how successful the film was, Brown, in the Spike Lee documentary Jim Brown: All American, expressed how disappointed he was that they passed on the movie.
