Ludicrously Catchy.
I’ve never seen Breakin’ 2 until last night.Sure, I’ve been one of the masses that adds the sub-title to every potential sequel in the making, but I never actually sat down and watched it until they had a midnight screening of it last night.
I’m now one of the converted.
Before I go into this, I’ve never seen Breakin’ 1, but I don’t think this really matters, nor did I get lost in a plot of complex twists and turns. When a movie starts in a city-wide dance party that even city officials get into, you know this is going to be no ordinary movie.
The plot’s non-important. After leaving the theater, I realized there are easily a dozen clichéd plot lines, from saving a community center, upper-class girl hanging out with street kids, the disapproving father, the evil land developer, the endearing precocious children, the dramatic plot turn that requires the gang to visit the hospital, rival gangs…. it’s all here. The Book of Clichés is referenced to the fullest.
But I really don’t care.
The dancing 20+ years later is still incredibly impressive, the music is catchy, and the attitude of the film is so optimistically cheery, that it makes it all somehow work. People in the theater were clapping, laughing, cheering, moving to the music, and the audience enthusiasm made it that much more fun. Throw an Ice-T cameo into the mix, and it’s the finest grade retro-cheese you can get. I don’t think it’s possible to watch this movie, and not be in a good mood by the time it’s over.
And without a doubt, Turbo’s “rotating room” dance scene is as good and as memorable as it gets.
Not everyone’s going to get the chance to see it on the big-screen like I had the chance to last night. But it’s worth a watch with a group of friends. It’s not going to change the face of American cinema, it’s always going to be rooted within ’80’s pop-culture, and it’s deliriously campy.
But there’s that little part of me that was just endeared by the silliness. And I watch it again for precisely that reason.
Recommended for any fan of the ’80’s or for those who appreciate old-school dance moves.
