Load of rubbish!!
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
This film still holds the award for best movie title in the world....ever, but there is still a lot of fun to be had, despite it's obvious flaws.The original cast are back, and this time, they have to dance up 200,000 dollars, or a community centre will be turned into a shopping mall.It's predictable stuff, all the people who are against the music are depicted as rich, stiff boring people, whilst at the other end of the spectrum, this film shows you that you don't have to work, just dance and all your problems will go away.That is looking way too deep into the film though, and if you liked the first, you will love this.Standout scenes are....Ozone break-dance fighting yet again, but this time with a fiercer pout.Turbo literally dancing around the room.Ozones ex-girlfriends acting skills.And all of the clothing.The music is great, and the performances from the three leads are perfunctory.
First off, I am a huge fan of booga-loo shrimp and also of adolfo shabba-do. I especially loved the first one when he danced with that rag on a string. I saw the first breakin in the theatre when it first came out and I almost had a hernia it was so good.By the way, I have top secret, hush-hush, information that a certain movie company WAS planning on a big sequel to Breakin 2 to celebrate the millenia. It was going to be called "Breakin 3: Breakin Free!" In pt. 3, Shrimp and Adolfo would be sent to prison for crimes they DID NOT COMMIT. They gather a posse, bust outta prison, and clear their names with nothing more than their street smarts and breakin moves to aid them. Meanwhile, outside, their white gal-pal rallies all the poppers and lockers in their "hood" and they have a big block party with fireworks and barbecue and parachute pants and enough funky fresh moves to make you wanna start dancin on the ceilin.I think it would have been great and I would have even gone to the theatre to see it.,
I remember 4 years ago while in the air force working night shift, I and another 12 or so soldiers sitting in the crew room watching channel bravo at about 2 am We were treated to this movie and I have never ever laughed so much in my entire life, we put national security in jeopardy because there were people actually crying with laughter and rolling around on the floor.To remember now, the very beginning scene where all those dildo's are dancing around in the street spinning on car bonnets etc.Most funny movie ever, will never be triumphed.Hey, a friend of mine said that Jean-Claude Van Damme appeared in this movie, is that right ?
For all the B-Boy and all the B-Girls.... This movie represents! I wouldn't expect anyone who didn't live the breaker life to appreciate it. I get just as excited watching this film as I did when I was little. It's a classic!
