Jul 31, 2018 This was recently featured on How Did This Get Made, so I was expecting cinematic incompetence-which made the breakdancing scenes all the more surprising and welcome. It isn't so much a movie as it is a series of breakdancing sequences strung together by a worthless plot and a talentless protagonist that drags the energy down whenever they stop dancing. Weirdly, the plot of the movie mirrors the aesthetic failure of the narrative: The dancers are the real stars, and the protagonist has to eventually learn to get out of their way to let them dominate the stage instead. See more May 16, 2018 Truly awful. It’s unfair to even call this mess a ‘movie.’ See more Feb 21, 2016 Parachute pants, vomit colored clothing, catchy clap along music, weed, hairy chests. It is indeed as 80s as it gets and I love it. See more Oct 21, 2010 Going back to the mid 80's they brought a rather large array of breakdancing films from Breakdance probaly one of the better ones and Beat Street and last and very least Body Rock. I seriously shouldnt waste my time talking about this film its really terrible in every sense of the word. Camp and tacky is a word I'd use but this was the type of 80's film people enjoyed. Lorenzo Lamas is a terrible dancer with has no real ability to sing the jury is still out on his acting, but its a laugh out riot when you hear the lyrics in the song he sings when his character hits the big time. Okay for laughs maybe this film was worth a look but apart from that this film is easy to forget. See more Apr 11, 2009 Between "I know who killed me" and this, I don't know which horrible movie I love to watch more. Nothing about this movie is accurate, but it's okay because "that's hip-hop". Best part of the movie is his commercial that he makes on the way to the club. Thank you Adrian and Isaiah for getting me hip. See more Mar 15, 2009 Lamas begins his legacy of narcissism as a rapper/tagger/b-boy intent on fame, in what is sadly and probably his best role. Dated as all Helll, but somehow not as completely bad as it deserves to be. A misguided snapshot of the time. See more Read all reviews
