  Review by CinemaVoid 🏴‍☠️ ★★★½ 5

  Dramatization of the dancing plague of 1984, a social phenomenon that involved groups of people dancing erratically until they collapsed from exhaustion. At the time it was believed to be caused by demonic possession, but now we know it was only breakdancing.

  I know that this movie is supposed to be a punchline or whatever, but I like the dancing, I like the bondage-punk-goes-hip-hop fashion, and as dopey and low-rent as everything about it is, I can't help but be charmed by its enthusiasm and optimism.

  Bigger and brighter than its predecessor, Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo packs in more dancing, more characters, more fun, and less clothing on Lucinda Dickey this go 'round.

  Director Sam "who gives a fuck" Firstenberg brings what is apparently his signature style of not giving a fuck. But the man actually delivers on two dance scenes I quite liked: the dance fight and Turbo's dancing on the ceiling routine.

  The three leads still aren't great actors, but they do seem more comfortable now and their natural charm seems a lot more present.

  Oh, and Ice-T returns as well, this time dressed like a member of Judas Priest for some odd reason.

  Review by Dave Taylor ★★★★★ 2

  The only movie franchise where I feel you are doing yourself a disservice if you see the original.

  Should be celebrated as the most undiluted 80’s movie ever made!

  I forced both my kids to watch it. My daughter mentioned she felt like the movie was actively killing her brain cells. However, she also had a dream where she had a crush on Turbo, so I call that a parenting win!

  I’d recommend watching the credits and reading all the nicknames. My personal favorite was ‘Boogaloo Midget.’ 

  I can think of no other movie that fills my soul with so much joy.

  Review by Jackie Stewart ★★★★½ 1

  Clearly a metaphor for the second coming of Jesus as we see a man dance on the ceiling and an entire hospital of broken, crippled people cured. Truly fascinating and fun.

  Breakin 2 will break your brain twice without even apologizing! An entire movie of amazing 80s dance scenes...the whole thing. The best kind of dancing you've ever seen. Dancing upside down on top of ceilings! Dancing with giant dolls! And the only scene to ever rival the McDonald's dance scene in Mac & Me...The friggin hospital scene! Buckle up for a zany whirlwind of 80s Tom foolery the likes of which you've never seen!

  "Are you in love with the guy?"

  "I just like the way he dances."

  A bunch of corporate jerks want to tear down a local youth center and the local community ain't having it! Two cool Dudes Ozone and Turbo must rally the crew and raise money…

  Review by Sally Jane Black 2

  With no regard given to pacing, the film has more time for extravagant dance sequences than plot, which is exactly as it should be. Bright bright bright bright colors, living colors, colors that pop on ever inch of the screen so that your eyes can't take it all in, bright bright bright colors drench the best moments of this film. (Notice that the rich neighborhood is much more dull than the poorer areas.) Outfits that defy reason but set the tone of the film (improbable, joyous, exaggerated) are draped on every decent character and a few less than decent ones, and the music is the dance-oriented, vocally enthusiastic rap that I love so much. Going beyond aesthetics in this film…

  Review by Joe Lynch ★★★ 1

  This was the movie that motivated a little fat kid to take breakdancing lessons to get in shape...shut up it worked!! This film is essentially a tapestry of montage sequences barely holding together RA storyline but hell does a Breakin film need one?

  Also: Ice T bomb!!

  Review by Justin Decloux ★★★★½

  The Young Girls of Rochefort of the 80's.

  A film beyond parody. I cant understand someone watching this, fully aware of its title, and being disappointed by the goofy, colorful and joyous experience it contains.

  the fabled Electric Boogaloo

  Breakin' 2:Electric Boogaloo delivers everything great about the first Breakin', and then dollops more of everything good on top of it. Sam Firstenberg does what he does best, and goes over the top. He doesn't care about anything normal or any ideas having to make sense. This is about loud outfits, loud dancing, loud music, and loud kids making a difference to stick it the man. There's no white savior complex here. It's all about the kids of the neighborhood fighting back and doing things their way, i.e. a lot of dancing.

  Turbo's dance on the ceiling is wild. It's something that would only exist in this movie. The music setups are infectious, especially the scene where Ice-T raps. 1984 was Lucinda Dickey's year. Breakin', Breakin' 2, and Ninja III. Thank you Cannon.

  20/30 Junesploitation 2021: Musicals!

  I had a friend who didn't like this movie. Sadly, he died of Nofunatall Syndrome.
