Trivia:

Was famously spoofed by comedian Julie Brown's "Medusa: Dare to Be Truthful."

Goofs:

Factual errors: Supposedly the live footage is filmed in the United States (she even greets the audience by saying 'Alright America do you believe in love' but they zoom out so far that you can't see her lips moving). In the United States Madonna was wearing the ponytail. In all the live footage she has curled hair. This means the show was actually filmed in Europe (according to the credits, it was in Paris). There are several references to the live footage being filmed in America, especially Like a Virgin in Toronto and Keep it Together (the technical problems) in Los Angeles, even though that footage was also filmed in Paris.

Quotes:

Madonna: [after learning Toronto police will arrest her if she simulates masturbation on-stage] Last time I was on tour, Sean was in jail. I guess it's my turn.

Madonna - Like you REALLY have never seen her before

I feel that this film shows Madonna at her best. Sure, there are some embarrassing moments but isn't that what is so great about the whole film? Here, we get to see Madonna as the bossy control-freak, as the carer, as the organiser, as the comedienne and more. As Madonna once said, the film is worth about 5 years of psychoanalysis so why not see it and find out about the real Madonna? You might not like her; but you can't help but love this film.
