[.ca] Breakin: 2: Electric Boogaloo

Dinn da da:
Ok, Ok let's get real. Breakin' 2 is not the best movie of all time. Yes it contains some mediocre acting, dancing, and such. However, nobody can deny the music. Some of the best poppin' and lockin' tunes of the day. Now I am the first to point out what Breakin' 2 has missed, but I was also one of the first to run out a buy the dvd. Not for the stellar performances, but for the fun that the movie captured that was oh so 80s. What a great film to remember a fun and fast paced decade. So put on your studded collar and headband. It's time to pull out the cardboard and spin on your head! Enjoy! Dance, just get on up.

You've got to be kidding:
The last reviewer must still be full of cheap French wine. To say that this movie is twice as good as any other must mean he has never seen Beat Street. When DJ Kenny drops the beat, he is the king of the street - not like that punk Turbo. While Beat Street features street icons such as Melle Mel, Doug E Fresh, Kool Moe Dee, the Rocksteady Crew, and Jazzy Jeff, Breakin' 2 would have been better served having Art Garfunkel spinning the discs and Bill Walton doing the helicopter. Wake up last guy, your review is as good as your spelling (presumably Canne should be Cannes?)!

Who would have thought.....:
Who would have thought that this movie would be worth a dang...turns out this is an EXTREMELY dated film which I love. Breakin' 1 was so awesome I had to get Breakin' 2. Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chambers is the best freakin' dancer I've ever seen. This movie is worth it just to see this man dance, and I'm not even in to dancing!!! Adolpho just kinda gets in the way. My only regret is that Chambers isn't more recognized.

DISGRACE TO THE HIP HOP CULTURE:
this hollywood version of hip hop was a disgrace to the culture. this is why alot of the original bboys were against bringing hip hop mainstream and a perfect example of the media taking things out of perspective. any bboy (or claims to be) that liked this movie or even thinks it has culture in it, probably has no footwork ability, does air moves with their shoes off, and does headspins with a helmet..im disappointed and surprised that the few pioneers in this movie actually let it be filmed this way. Go get style wars, wild style, freshest kids, and scratch, then you'll know what im talking about.

"Breakin' 2" - an entertaining sequel or pure evil?:
I have never seen a film that so eloquently personified evil. This movie, the sequel to the most exquisite, laudable and praiseworthy film "Breakin'", is among the worst I have ever witnessed. On the back of the "Breakin'" DVD it says that "Breakin' inspired a sequel." Whoever was responsible for molding the pure and uncontaminated brilliance that is "Breakin'" into this horrendous excuse for a film needs to be punished. After seeing the movie, I was enraged. My anger was at first directed to the easiest targets, namely Lucinda Dickey, Adolfo "Shabba-Doo" Quinones and Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chambers, who make up the insurmountable dance troupe "TKO" in the Breakin' movies. However, after exploring the nature of my indignation and after trying to rationalize the feelings of anger and betrayal that raced through my body, I realized that it is not the actors fault, but my own. This epiphany made me recognize that I expected too much from this movie. How could I have expected that the absolute genius of Breakin' the first could be repeated and duplicated in a sequel? I set the bar to high, and I got hurt. So, you may ask why this youngster who uses a thesaurus a little too much for his own good would rate this movie so high after writing such a deplorable (and, might I add, superb) review? Well my friends, there is an answer to this seemingly unsolvable conundrum. The answer is that by watching this film, one attains a greater appreciation for the awesomeness that is "Breakin'." The inferior nature of "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo" amplifies the greatness of the first "Breakin'" film. I sincerely hope that this review will shed some light on the true nature of the Breakin' films, in all their glory. Thank you.
