Sequel to the '80s "classic" Breakin' with an old Mickey Rooney/Judy Garland plot about putting on a show to save a community center. The same main characters are back and haven't changed any. Turbo (Michael 'Boogaloo Shrimp' Chambers) is still the fun and likable one with the best dance moves. Ozone (Adolfo 'Shabba-Doo' Quinones) is still kind of a downer with a huge chip on his shoulder. He's also the weakest dancer in the movie. Kelly aka Special K (Lucinda Dickey) is still the rich girl who has big decisions to make about her career and her love life. Her dancing has significantly improved from the first movie. Lucinda is as pretty as ever but she has competition now from Turbo's girlfriend, played by the lovely Sabrina Garcia (whose Spanish-speaking voice sounds like it was dubbed by a child). The epic rivalry with Electro Rock continues and we get a fun dance-off out of it. There's more dancing this time around with Turbo's gravity-defying dance scene a highlight. As with the first movie, it's pretty cheesy but amusing in its way. It certainly has nostalgic value for people of my generation. If you don't take it seriously you'll probably enjoy it more.

You have just finished watching Breakin' - and feel like you want to go out onto the streets and find a group of people to dance with, then you realise that your about 20 years too late and the only gangs hanging around your neighbourhood are not interested in dancing.Your spirits drop, realising that you can never get back your youth...But then you remember, you also own Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo and you get back on your sofa and spend another couple of hours with a friendly group of Break Dancers who only want to support their local amenities... They don't use violence (apart from perhaps some suggestive popping' and lockin' moves), they don't use guns or drugs and they even get their rival street gang to kiss and make up with them in order to protect their hood from the City Suits.Where else could you get a story line like that? Take it for what it is - great music, great dancing, great fun!

This is a truly horrible movie. The acting is horrid. The script contains some of the most embarrassing lines ever spoken at any time by human beings. The makers of this movie were frontin' big time. Their main front was that breakdance gangs were 100% nonviolent entities here to better mankind and lift everyone up into levels of enlightenment unattainable before break dancing came on the scene. Of course, to put break dancing in a more realistic light would defeat the purpose of the movie, which was to show how inherently righteous boogaloo was in restoring the world to harmony. But pursuing this altruistic boogaloo concept killed this movie for me when I first saw it at the theatre. The break dance fighting scenes were unbelievably funny! I was so eager to see the sequel to Breakin' (which I enjoyed), but I was so embarrassed to watch such a horrible movie with my parents watching. They totally got the wrong idea from this movie about what break dancing meant to me. (Spoilers) This came off as an absurd MUSICAL praising the glories of community spirit in the context of CHOREOGRAPHED break dancing reminiscent of the Fame TV series. After reading some of the above posts talking about how wonderful this movie is, I suppose I can see that as "entertainment" it was great. I agree, it was entertaining as an unintentional comedy. I laughed my butt off. I am certain that this movie killed the break dancing movement singlehandedly with it's crass commercial exploitation. Why anyone who truly appreciates break dancing would feel that this was anything but a slap in the face is beyond me. This is a film that su uu uhhh cckksss! Don't try to dignify the unacceptable just because of nostalgia. This was the beginning of the end of break dancing. This is exactly where the war was lost. Right here.

I really cant watch this movie being a streetdancer myself because it fails to really show what the culture is truly about. The first thing wrong is the title (Electric Boogaloo) the Electric Boogaloos are a Streetdancing group founded in Fresno in the mid 70's by Boogaloo Sam. This movie doesnt even address what Boogaloo style dancing is all about. It would be like making a movie called Shaolin Kung Fu and doing nothing but Boxing if you want an analogy. None of the real Electric Boogaloos were even in the movie (Popin Pete did play in the original Breakin') so why give it that title? Another thing - there wasnt alot of emphasis on the dancing itself. Okay I wont go much further. Even as a streetdancing movie it wasnt very good at all. However it is good to see most of those Kats still dancing to this very day. Peace
