Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo (1984)

Rate: 6
Viewed: 11/20

11/20: Widely regarded as a bad film, Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo is still good fun just like the original.

The main characters return, and they have a marvelous time. There are tons of nonstop dancing, so it must have taken a great deal of choreography to set up the sequences.

Sure, the story is simplistic: it's all about saving a community recreation center, and why not? It did happen for real to the Westlake youth center Radiotron that's located in MacArthur Park of Los Angeles, but the rally didn't work out. It was therefore demolished to make room for a mall.

The most impressive scene is when Michael Chambers performed dance moves on the wall and then on the ceiling. Ordinarily, I wouldn't say so for films nowadays, but this was done in 1984. So, it's neat which was accomplished by rotating the room borrowed from A Nightmare on Elm Street.

All in all, Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo is about having a good time, amd it's that simple.
