See Breakin’ Two On Movie Downloads
Breakin’ 2 Electric Boogaloo is, pretty much, the all time greatest eighties movie. It has every last thing you could possibly want from an eighties flick. It’s got the wild, colorful fashion we associate with the era, it’s got that upbeat, party music hip hop soundtrack, it’s funny (back then, every movie was a comedy/whatever else), and the plot is so derivative of the era that it really becomes more archetypal. It is definitely one of the all time must download movies of the eighties.
We follow Shabadoo and Boogaloo Shrimp basically playing themselves as a pair of dance instructors at the local community center. This community center provides a place for poor children from the urban setting to hang out and really just stay out of trouble, learning to dance, box, play sports and just make something of their lives rather than getting onto the wrong paths.
And of course, this being the eighties, you had basically three storylines to choose from: The drug dealers kill the hero’s family and he vows revenge, there’s an outbreak of monsters/Gremlins/Tribbles and they have to be contained, or the crooked land developers want to tear down a church/community center/neighborhood and build a golf course/shopping mall/landfill in its place.
So of course, the guys decide to put on a show to save the building. It’s a hair-thin clothesline of a plot, but it’s just enough to hang some really great dance numbers on. And these dance numbers… They’re some of the best ever put to film. It takes a little of the hip hop culture of the time, mixes that with the big choreographed dance numbers from classic musicals, and comes out with a really incredible hybrid that is incredibly exhilarating.
Shrimp has one of the movie’s best scenes dancing on the ceiling and walls of his bedroom. We’ve seen this trick before and we know that it’s done by putting the room on a spinning axis, but it’s really done well here. It’s shown in just a few, long, unbroken shots as he literally walks from floor to wall to ceiling all in one take. You can see out the window and look at the stationary trees, helping to maintain the illusion. Halfway through, his girlfriend walks in and literally stands upright as Shrimp is still spinning on the ceiling. Obviously, they used a harness and tied her hair down, but it shows just how far they went to make this scene work.
Shabadoo has the movie’s second best scene, when he and his friends have to confront a local street gang after push comes to shove. He chases them out under a bridge where he finally corners them and angrily rips off his vest, marches up to their leader and… Starts popping and locking. Yep, he settles a territory dispute with a dance off. It’s fun, it’s funny, and it’s got all the action of a fight scene without any of the unnecessary violence.
The movie does end happily, of course. Can you imagine such a fun movie having a downer ending?
So the next time you want a good time, a few laughs and a great show, get some beers and some buddies and give Breakin’ 2 a download.
