See Breakin’ Two On Movie Downloads

There’s no doubt that Breakin’ 2 Electric Boogaloo is the movie of the eighties. Maybe not the greatest film made between 1980 and 1990, but certainly the most eighties movie in existence. Whatever reason you could possibly have for wanting to see a flick from the eighties, you’ll find it in Breakin’ 2. The hair, the clothes, the music, the corny jokes and storylines, it’s all here, and that’s why Breakin’ 2 is at the top of the list of must download movies of the eighties.

The story follows Shabadoo and Boogaloo Shrimp essentially playing themselves as two breakdancers who teach popping and locking at the local community center, where poor young children go to learn dancing, boxing, art, whatever. It keeps them out of trouble and is really a big boon to the local community, really giving a sense of belonging to these poor street kids.

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.

Now of course, the movie ends happily. That’s not a spoiler. How else could such an upbeat, positive movie end but with an upbeat, positive 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.
