Breakin: A Movie Review


That's right, back to back movie reviews. The difference? I don't even have to finish this movie (which is currently in progress) to know how friggin' awesome it is. Breakin' is straight out of the 80's with it's funky fresh dancing, and sensational hip hop attire. This movie will straight turn you out.

Ok, let me explain. Whereas Exterminator City was so bad that it deserved to be set on fire and thrown at an infant, Breakin' is so bad that it's hilarious. I mean the 80's were fucking terrible. The music is horrible, the clothing is retarded, and the phrases are jaw droppingly awful.

The lead characters go by the nicknames of Turbo and Ozone, and their female counterpart Special K. But I'm not going to even explain the plot because it doesn't matter. Sure it exists, and the characters are actually multidimensional and not just bad actors, but the reason you'll want to watch this movie is for the dancing. The poppin and lockin is endless. And Ice T and Shooter Mcgavin are even in it!

This movie is clearly the precursor to all dance movies worth mentioning, but even without watching any of them I can attest to none of them being as good. Except maybe Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. That's all I gotta say. Go watch it. Now.



Jean Claude Van Damme even makes a cameo. And by cameo I mean he dances awkwardly in the background whilst wearing a unitard.


AND if any of you wanna learn how to street dance yourself, here's some helpful videos that are sure to get you poppin and lockin in no time!






And just for the hell of it, try not watching this whole thing. It's fucking mesmerizing.
