Description
Breakin’ (also known as Breakdance in the United Kingdom and Break Street ’84 in other regions) is a 1984 American breakdancing-themed musical film directed by Joel Silberg and written by Charles Parker and Allen DeBevoise based on a story by Parker, DeBevoise and Gerald Scaife about dancer Alysha Williams.
The film’s setting was inspired by a 1983 documentary titled Breakin’ ‘n’ Enterin’, set in the multi-racial hip hop club Radio-Tron, based out of MacArthur Park in Los Angeles. Many of the artists and dancers from said documentary, including Ice-T (who makes his film debut as a club MC), and Michael “Boogaloo Shrimp” Chambers, went straight from Breakin’ ‘n’ Enterin’ to star in Breakin’.
Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo is a 1984 American dance musical film directed by Sam Firstenberg. It is a sequel to the 1984 breakdancing film Breakin’. Electric Boogaloowas released seven months after its predecessor by TriStar Pictures. In some international locations the film was released under the title Breakdance 2: Electric Boogaloo. Another sequel, Rappin’ (also known as Breakdance 3) was made but had an unconnected plot and different lead characters – only Ice-T features in all three films.
