The dance trio defeats the Electros in a dance off. Sleazy minion Randall pushes the local government to tear it down. Developer Douglas is trying to tear it down and build a shopping center. Byron runs local community center Miracles where they hang out. Ozone and Turbo are teaching street dancing to the kids. She and Ozone are together and his ex Rhonda is jealous. Rich girl Kelly Bennett is now a chorus dancer after the close of Street Jazz. And, listen to the 'Mexican' girl-with a horribly dubbed voice that sounds like a 6 year-old! Also, look for a very young and skinny Ice-T as the rapper with the big shades at about halfway through the film. In both cases, the room could be rotated to make it appear as if the dancer is defying gravity. By the way, while impressive to see, the dancing up the walls and ceiling bit was actually taken from a Fred Astaire film.
See it and you'll understand what I am talking about.for sure.
To some, this movie is definitely a bit of nostalgia but for most, it is a chance to laugh hysterically at the silliness of 1984. There also is the brilliant rich girl who chooses to hang out on the street and dance instead of heading to Princeton (now THAT'S a good idea). The 'kids' are about to lose their clubhouse, so they decide to put on a show to raise the funds to fix it up and keep the city from giving it to evil developers. As for the plot, believe it or not, is a re-tread of an old Mickey Rooney/Judy Garland film. And, they repeatedly use the word 'whack'-need I say more?! Because the film is essentially just dancing, little was left for decent dialog (it often is VERY bad and the characters are mere caricatures). To make it worse, their clothing consists of one fashion travesty after another. Sometimes the dances are incredible (such as the athleticism of the break dancing)-but much of it is just stupid. Mostly, it's one dance number after another after another. "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo" is a film with very, very little plot.
See the hospital dance scene and the Combat Dance portions and you'll understand. Well, I am certainly NOT going to tell her about this film-otherwise she'll never let me forget about this! It features the worst clothing, highly infectious and repetitive music (while not bad at first, it makes your brain melt a bit after a while) and the most inane qualities in a film of the era. A while back, my youngest daughter was telling me how awful she thought fashions were back in the 1980s.
