‘Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo’
It’s a tale as old as time. A wealthy, classically trained dancer from Beverly Hills in search of inspirado meets two underprivileged breakdancers while strolling along in Venice Beach and, with a little help from Ice-T, the trio changes the world forever. That’s the plot of Breakin’, the 1984 movie that was such a monster hit at the box office that a sequel was greenlit, shot, AND released the same calendar year! That movie is Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo, quite possibly the most memorable sequel title in Hollywood history. With breakdancing set to become an official Olympic sport at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics — really! — the world is once again primed to welcome Boogaloo Shrimp, Special K, and Shabba Doo (pictured above) as our new overlords.
