breakin' (1984)


aka Breakdance: The Movie.
"With a little work you'll be poppin and lockin in no time."
Kelly (Lucinda Dickey) is an aspiring dancing, getting nowhere in LA. Then one day she's introduced to a couple of Break dancers, Ozone (Adolfo 'Shabado' Quiñones) and Turbo (Michael 'Boogaloo Shrimp' Chambers), and she struggles to get street dance accepted in the jazz dance world.
The usual Hollywood clean up an underground movement, in this case the Cali hip hop scene. This took some participants from a German documentary Breakin' and Enterin, added a love story to a flimsy plot and watched the money roll in. Watch it for Ice-T's first on screen performance and some great dance moves.
