beat street was more, well... street then breakin but breakin made you want to have fun with it, beat street made us want to gang bang after and during a circle! like the different's between network's... house party and Calli's... boy's in the hood!
This is my favourite dancing movie of all time. I was born in 1994, but the way they dance in this is the closest thing to my dancing. Does anyone know if people can still learn this style?
I remember a friend of my older brother dragged him and me out of our house to watch this and Beatstreet at his place when they came out on VHS and all I thought to myself while I was watching those were "man,these movies suck!!"
Breakin' was pretty good for a B MOVIE. Yeah, it was CHEESY and all but it was fun in a so-bad-its-good way. Don't get me started on the music though, talk about sooo 80s!! The acting was just plain BAD tho. You wanna see good acting? Three words: Heath Ledger, Dark Knight.
ha! yeah I could break dance when I was like 12 years old. I took lessons at the YMCA. I topped out at about 4 different moves I could do. So lame. Not worthy of giving myself a street name. I can still do the wave though at age 34...so watch out! ha!
Dude, when it comes to dancing, you're air to me, you should've kept on training and practicing, I have a Japanese friend, he is a dancer, and he's 34! but he still rocks everyone.
P.S. This little comment should've given you the courage to go dancing again, but if it didn't work, I'm sorry then, but very cool that you were a dancer. Once a dancer, Always a dancer. =D
yeah this was a great time for movies. Just a fun and care free time. Staying up late night watching movies on top loading VCR's and watching MTV's same videos over and over. I took break dancing lessons back then. I can still do some moves. don't make me bust them out. "the wave" "the centipede" "moonwalk" oh yeahhh!
I even had a nickname. They called me "Electro-magic" I was a big hit at the Jr. High dances. Ok now where did I put my parachute pants and neon yellow belt?
Princess that's what made these movies so great. They were so purely bad. So cheesy they were enjoyable. It's also a great nostalgic trip for us in our 30's when we were taking break dancing lessons at the YMCA when we were kids.
Apart from it's terrible sequel Electric Boogaloo, This is without a doubt the most badly acted film i have ever seen. The music is cheesy too. The only thing going for it is the dancing choreography. Although the dancing is dated it is still impressive today and without it, this film would be absolutely nothing.
How come the MGM Lion at the start of this trailer has the Tanner lion roar heard in the early 60's MGM logo instead of the 1982 roar? Was it a mistake or did it happen a lot on MGM movie trailers of the 80's up to 1989?

How the hell can you call this movie "bad" or "cheesy"?? On a purely objective level, this is one of the greatest movies ever made. FACT.
