There's no stoppin us!!
Get out the cardboard mats, the kamikaze T-shirts, parachute pants, and neon bandanas folks, cuz Breakin' is all up in here on DVD! The revolutionary super fly flick that impacted a generation and had my whole high school doing windmills and headspins.

Dancers today have no clue about droplocking or krunking. Everybody needs to revisit this movie and get back to what real dancing is. Shabba Doo and Boogaloo Shrimp got the moves that'll knock the socks off you. This is dancing people for reals.

And the music? This soundtrack is dynomite! The movie theme "There's no Stoppin us" was worthy of but denied any Grammy or Acadamey awards. This song was and still is my motivation to not only get me through the day, but to strive for and achieve all my dreams. And just like the beutiful leading lady Lucinda, I will never give up. And who can sit through 'Body Work' and not want to bust a move? And just when you thought it was over the top as is, here comes Ice T, yes THE Ice T with his masterpiece 'Reckless'.

The dancing, the costumes, the attitude, and the soul stirring drama is all here and even better than I remember it seeing it seven times in the theater. Breakin' and the Sequel 'Electric Boogaloo' are never in their cases for long. I watch them at least twice a week and every Saturday morning. All hail Breakin!

Breakin'
I really enjoyed the movie like the first time I saw it in the movie theater. The argument is easy, a mix of a beauty jazz dancer and 2 street dancers, who demonstrate that friendship can beat any adversity.

Good for those who lived the experience!

A gulity pleasure
Breakin was made for one sole purpose to cash in on the break dancing phase but it's still a great film. The plot 's a bit contrived but who cares the soundtrack and dancing are great and that's all that matters in movies like this.
