Breakin' / Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Brian Orndorf May 3, 2015

1984 was the year breakdancing made contact. The artful but exhausting dance craze was inspected in several efforts from the era, but Cannon Films popularized the movement, issuing “Breakin’” and “Breakin’ 2: Electric Booglaoo” into theaters at lightning speed. The saga of Kelly (Lucinda Dickey), Ozone (Adolfo “Shabba-Doo” Quinones), and Turbo (Michael “Booglaoo Shrimp” Chambers) is captured in two entertaining efforts (one better than the other), each with their fair share of dancing, melodrama, and displays of hip hop spirit from its formative years. High art? Goodness, no, but the movies share a love for the culture and film history as they go about their easily digestible ways.

Breakin' / Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  3.5 of 5

Two "Breakin'" features for the price of one. That's enough popping and locking to satisfy a nostalgic night at the movies.
