"Breakin'" (1984) is a hip-hop breakdance movie that brought mainstream attention to the style. Directed by Joel Silberg, the writers based the story and setting of the movie on the 1983 documentary "Breakin' 'n' Enterin.'" The film stars Adolfo Quinones (Shabba Doo), Lucinda Dickey, Michael Chambers, Christopher McDonald, and Ben Lokey.
Rap, graffiti, and breakdancing were staple characteristics of the hip-hop culture during its conception and evolution into the mid-80s. "Breakin'" highlighted aspects of the style, but there was a slight contrast to a rival film released a month later called "Beat Street." "Breakin'" was out of California, and "Beat Street" was out of NYC. Since there were regional cultural differences, elements of the dance styles were different. Ice-T was also in the film rapping during his career's early stages.
Nevertheless, the film's star breakdancers were Adolfo Quinones and Michael Chambers. Both performers were showstoppers and carried the movie's epic dance battles along with the Electric Rock Crew. There isn't much story to the movie, and the acting is very cheesy, but this was the 80s, and cheesy is what gives that decade its charm. "Breakin'" is a reflective film that is memorable for many.
Director: Joel Silberg Writers: Charles Parker, Allen DeBevoise, Gerald Scaife
Starring Lucinda Dickey, Adolfo Quinones, Michael Chambers, Ben Lokey, Christopher McDonald, Phineas Newborn III, Bruno Falcon, Timothy Solomon, Ana Sánchez, Ice-T
Storyline Kelly (Lucinda Dickey) is a classically trained jazz dancer tired of warding off her amorous teacher and hungry for a new outlet. When she befriends street dancers Ozone (Adolfo "Shabba-Doo" Quinones) and Turbo (Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chambers), she's blown away by their unique and original moves. She soon volunteers to help them defeat a rival group of street dancers, learning breakdancing skills along the way and sharing her own moves.
Available on Blu-ray (out-of-print) and streaming services
