Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo Information

Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo is the 1984 sequel to the breakdancing film Breakin'. It was first released the same year as its predecessor by TriStar Pictures, and by Cannon Films the year after. In some international locations, the movie was released under the title Breakdance 2: Electric Boogaloo. A further 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 movies.

Plot

Breakin' 2 features three characters from Breakin' " Kelly (Lucinda Dickey), Ozone (Adolfo Quinones), and Turbo (Michael Chambers) " who struggle to stop the demolition of a community recreation center. Also appear dancer Viktor Manoel, Ice-T, and Martika, who was little known then.

Electric Boogaloo

Since the release of the film, the subtitle "Electric Boogaloo", a reference to a funk-oriented dance style of the same name, has been used to refer to sequels pejoratively. The usual connotation suggests a sequel that is ridiculous, absurd, unwanted, unnecessary, formulaic, or obscure.

Critical reception

Though most critics rated the film poorly, New York Press film critic Armond White considered it to be "superb" and Roger Ebert gave the film a three-star rating.

Soundtrack

Like its predecessor, much of the film's soundtrack was provided by Ollie & Jerry, comprising the duo Ollie E. Brown and Jerry Knight. The title track, "Electric Boogaloo," did not appear in pop charts and reached place #45 on the R&B chart.
