for movies released only seven months apart, breakin' and breakin' 2: electric boogaloo have decidedly different sensibilities. for all its cheesiness and non - ironic embrace of dance movie conventions, breakin' is rooted in an actual scene and subculture. as silly as it might have been, and breakin' is gloriously silly, the film could at least be said to have a foundation in reality .

cultural infamy: 1984' s breakin' 2: electric boogaloo contributed precisely one thing to the cultural zeitgeist that the far more successful breakin' hadn' t already provided: a zingy subtitle that could be added to the end of virtually any sequel. to this day, children of the' 80s still frequently reference, say, saw 2: electric boogaloo or the hills have eyes 2: electric boogaloo, largely because of the built - in catchy rhyme and sheer silliness value. the gag comes up routinely and randomly, via sources from mr. show to family guy. in a recent online chat with lord of the rings fans, guillermo del toro even joked that h2: electric boogaloo had been rejected as a possible title for the planned second hobbit movie .

electric boogaloo
is a phrase typically appended to the title of a sequel tv or film production to mock its poor quality. originally featured in the title of the poorly received 1984 dance film breakin’ 2: electric boogaloo [ 3 ], the term refers to a type of dance move that arose out of funk and hip hop styles in the 1970s, popularized by the street dance team the electric boogaloos. [ 9 ]
though its subtitle would become the series' weirdly enduring legacy, breakin' 2 was nowhere near the success of its predecessor. despite coming out a little over a half a year after breakin' debuted, breakin' 2: electric boogaloo grossed a fraction of breakin'' s box - office haul and despite being in the 18th top grossing film of 1984, shabba doo, boogaloo shrimp and lucinda dickey were seldom seen onscreen in the years that followed, though shrimp did go on to a strange later fame as the choreographer for the robotic urkel sequences on family matters .
maybe, all along, golan had it right. he was just too early. the films that he pioneered have, now, become much loved cults and classics. the title of the film itself comes from the sequel to cult dance movie breakin’; the much maligned and, laughable, breakin’ 2: electric boogaloo .
breakin’ 2: electric boogaloo, the december 1984 sequel that inspired these wisecracks, remains an internet favorite after 30 years of critical apathy. and yet it’s hard to imagine that most 19 - year - olds sitting at home on thursday night, tweeting stupid fill - in - the - blanks jokes, are aware of their own references. to many, breakin’ 2: electric boogaloo is just a title taken at face value. beyond that … well, who knows? turns out the people behind electric boogaloo barely knew what they’d created, a history that makes its status as the lowest - common - denominator twitter joke even more amusing .

while dismissing breakin’ and breakin’ 2 electric boogaloo would be easy, the harsh reality is that these two film are glorious. movie audiences in 1984 were treated to both dance epics in the spring and winter. rap and break dancing was getting mainstream attention in the early ’80s. the fact that hip hop was a complete lifestyle that included music, dance, fashion and art made it perfect for movies. leave it to cannon films to immediately exploit it for cinematic purposes. these films could have just been boring and forgettable with only a few performance clips worth salvaging. instead breakin’ and breakin’ 2: electric boogaloo remain enjoyable viewing. they also remind us of ice - t’s not quite og days .
breakin' and breakin' 2: electric boogaloo couldn' t be more 1984 but from the purview of today, but they fit perfectly within the history of dance movies as the corny but super - fun connective tissue between old - fashioned musicals of the 30s, 40s and 50s and the step up movies of today, whose plots, themes and conflicts look an awful lot like the ones found in the breakin' movies .

just as isaac newton and gottfried leibniz simultaneously discovered calculus while researching independently, [ enter title here ]: electric boogaloo flowed into the internet lexicon through various mentions lacking a common source. wheaton distinctly recalls working on a short film with friends back in 2001 and turning electric boogaloo into a recurring subtitle game. spurred by the experience, he published the phrase (slipping it to his sizable, internet - using audience) in an october 2001 plug for his radio show. a month later, the band five iron frenzy would release five iron frenzy 2: electric boogaloo. dig deep enough and one finds earlier representation. the 1998 ain’t it cool news story “ deliverance 2: electric banjo boogaloo” tips its hat to the cult film .

depending on whether you embrace the breakin' films as important, fascinating cultural documents of a seminal moment in street culture when it broke through to the mainstream or as unintentionally hilarious camp comedies, the production number in breakin' 2: electric boogaloo where the magical power of dance brings a dead man back to life and instantly heals the disabled either ranks as an embarrassing nadir or a wonderfully shameless highlight .
much as “jumping the shark” has become a term for something popular that gets stupid, electric boogaloo, which might be the most rapidly turned - around shark - jump in film history, is now everyone’s favourite stupid sequel name. it fits any bad sequel to which one wishes to apply it, whether said film actually exists or not – try selma 2: electric boogaloo .

“electric boogaloo” is the famously silly subtitle for breakin’ 2 (1984), one of the first sequels cannon commissioned from a franchise they could take credit for spawning. they weren’t messing around – it opened only six months after the release of breakin’, easily their biggest theatrical hit. the rush and desperation to surf this particular pop - cultural wave was entirely apparent to audiences, though, who came out in droves for the first movie, then smelled a rat when the second one cranked things up a notch with breakdancing on the ceiling .

in an episode of mr show, a director is described as

the very different responses to breakin' and breakin' 2: electric boogaloo reveals something telling about the transitory nature of fads: they' re white hot, then ice - cold and seven months were all it took to take breakdancing from the hottest new thing to yesterday' s embarrassing obsession. golan and globus, whose reagan - era golden age saw them alternating between art house movies by filmmakers like jean - luc godard and norman mailer and b - movies from chuck norris and charles bronson, had an enduring love of fads and trends .
to the degree that breakin' 2 is remembered for any reason other than the title, it' s as a quickie flop sequel that trotted out the cast of 1984' s breakin' for another, bigger go - round the same year, quite possibly exhausting both the surprising profits and the minimal goodwill earned by the earlier movie .
breakin’ and breakin’ 2: electric boogaloo provided just about every kind of possible break to a young untrained actor that you can imagine. michael made a lot of money in a short time, and soon he was driving a corvette — with a customized license plate that read, what else? boogaloo — to high school; he says the tried to go back and finish his senior year, but that he had to get a private tutor and drop out because his classmates were mean, and spat on his car’s windows. i seem to recall reading somewhere that he’d bought an apartment building as an investment, too, somewhere in long beach, california .
to this day, neither reichert nor freya are sure why their original breakin’ script was thrown out. but when globus and golan came back to them for electric boogaloo, they had newfound knowledge of breakdance stashed away. they had met the kids, they knew their lives, and they could fill in any blanks with movie tropes .
a terrific documentary on the rise and fall of the most infamous distributor of the 80’s, electric boogaloo is a no holds barred look at the car crash relationship between its founders, menahem golan and yoram globus .
casual investigation points to a slice of ’90s teenage culture losing their minds over electric boogaloo and its strange, disconnected title. while spitballing with wheaton, several factors emerged that could explain electric boogaloo ‘s transformation into a pre - internet joke: there’s the “two” / “boogaloo, ” rhyme factor, the title’s inherent inscrutability, 1 and its ability to encapsulate the film’s aimlessly unadulterated joy. as the actor puts it, dropping a mad libbian reference to electric boogaloo “presupposes the knowledge of the film. not only are you saying something that’s funny, it was also like speaking in a code. you could issue a challenge phrase to see if you got the correct response back. that’s how you knew you were speaking with someone who knew what it was. ”

the legacy of breakin’ 2 lives on in both meme and cinematic forms. wheaton still titles blog posts with electric boogaloo (“i’m so bad at titling things, ” he admits). chambers continues to appear, promote, and nurture a dance career exponentially broadened by the film. freya runs into people at the grocery store who can quote the lines. and 19 - year - olds playing @ midnight games on a thursday night are tethered, through osmosis, to just another 1984 movie .
breakin 2: electric boogaloo, subsequently, recycles the convention of plucky, talented youngsters climactically putting on a big show to raise money for a worthy cause in its cornball tale of a group of passionate street dancers (the kind who risk it all for their dreams and also challenge the high - low culture divide) putting on a big breakdancing show to save the youth rec center from being torn down to make space for an evil (i. e white people - engineered) shopping center .

chambers is the best freakin' dancer i' ve ever seen. this movie is worth it just to see this man dance, and i' m not even in to dancing! !! adolpho just kinda gets in the way. my only regret is that chambers isn' t more recognized .
i knew boogaloo shrimp before everyone knew him as boogaloo shrimp. back in 1983, michael “boogaloo shrimp” chambers was one of a handful of street dancing teens who used to drop by the record store where i was working at the time — licorice pizza in the lakewood mall, in lakewood, california, located about twenty miles south of l. a. — on the weekends .
while pitching breakin’ to distributors at the 1984 cannes film festival market, globus and golan already had their eyes set on a sequel. but chambers says the producers had trouble selling the film to international vendors who didn’t understand the intricacies of breakdancing. a scene from breakin’ where chambers glides around a balancing broom like a pop - locking david copperfield wowed audiences, but when asked to describe the style, globus and golan came up short. the solution: lift the dancer’s stage name. “golan would shout, ‘look at boogaloo dance electric!' ” chambers recalls. this was all despite the fact that someone had claimed this territory. in the late ’70s, a crew called the electric boogaloo lockers twisted, necked, and locked on soul train. chambers says he’s confident that globus and golan had never heard of them .

sequel non - entity: james, from the original breakin', is totally absent in this movie. his actor christopher mc donald declined to return .
terminator 2 is best movie, terminator part 1 pales in comparison and seems to be a flop. t2 seals our eyes to screens in second half. t3 & t4 were disasters spider man - 2 first one again pales but not by much difference, spiderman 3 was even better. bahubali 2 - indian movie released in 6 indian languages and 11 international languages is highest grossing movie from india. first one was superbly prequeled and laid a blockbuster stage for 2 nd one. such was the beauty of the series that both movies were made in one go and only spaced by 18 months. director spend those months in fine tunning the second part, bahubali 2 was destined to be mega blockbuster. bahubali 2 makes watching bahubali 1 compulsory. bahubali 3 is impossible to make. men in black 2 was good movie but not as great mim1 xmen 2 was better than xmen 1, but xmen sequels improved with every instalments. starwars series too improved and evolved with time bettering the previous releases .
the new documentary electric boogaloo: the wild, untold story of cannon films revisits the eight or so years when cannon was run by the israeli cousins menahem golan and yoram globus, and it prompts waves of nostalgia about even their silliest efforts to capitalise on public taste .

with a title and no script, globus and golan set out to make electric boogaloo in their traditional mode: quickly, modestly, and ridiculously. after hiring first - time screenwriters julia reichert and jan freya to write the script for breakin’, only to trash it in favor of a new writer’s take, the cannon group recruited them to pen the breakin’ 2 screenplay. much like globus and golan, reichert and freya knew very little about breakdance culture. reichert had written novels and dabbled in screenwriting. when the breakin’ films were in development, reichert ‘s childhood friend, culture critic michael ventura, was working on a book and companion documentary about john cassavetes, who was shooting his final film for cannon, love streams. when globus and golan needed writers for their breakdance project, ventura suggested reichert and his then - wife jan, a performance artist and l. a. weekly writer .
electric boogaloo was the frankie and anette “beach party” movie — or a step up installment if you’re so inclined — of its day. kelly (lucinda dickey), ozone (quinones), and turbo (chambers) return from breakin’, this time with an actual plot: when an evil developer (peter maclean) plans to demolish the community recreation center, the breakdance crew must … breakdance to stop it. whatever, it was fun .
movie musicals used to be allowed to be goofy and lightweight, but in recent years they' ve turned into ponderous, overbudgeted artifacts that take themselves so seriously you feel guilty if you' re having a good time. remember all the self - importance of
annie
? that' s why a modest, cheerful little movie like
breakin' 2: electric boogaloo
is so refreshing. here is a movie that wants nothing more than to allow some high - spirited kids to sing and dance their way through a silly plot just long enough to make us grin .
the video games were slayers royal for sega saturn, slayers royal 2 for sega saturn and play station, slayers wonderful for playstation .

given the deathless after - life of breakin' 2' s subtitle there was really only one conceivable name for a documentary about cannon films and the colorful relationship between golan and globus. sure enough, when mark hartley, the director of the acclaimed ozsploitation documentary not quite hollywood, recently made a documentary about cannon, he called it electric boogaloo: the wild, untold story of cannon films after a movie that, while it was certainly not the best film cannon ever produced, represented cannon' s carnival barker, sideshow, huckster sensibility in its purest and most embarrassingly entertaining form .
one of the considered titles for the sequel of ensign sue must die was ensign 2: electric sue - galoo. while the final product was titled (probably more appropriate to the subject matter) ensign two: the wrath of sue, the former was used as a promotional image
shabba doo and boogaloo shrimp reportedly clashed with dickey on set, resenting her background in gymnastics. that friction only adds to the weird
effete man, women - haters club
dynamic between doo, shrimp and dickey' s characters, and the homoerotic nature of turbo and ozone' s relationship. in breakin' the men are flamboyant and the women tend to be aggressive tomboys. even ice - t, not exactly a figure synonymous with androgyny, wears what appears to be a rhinestone - studded leather fetish harness that shows off most of his naked torso during one of his scenes in electric boogaloo .
( i don' t plan to watch id4 2 btw; the 1996 movie seemed bad already and i managed to avoid it) .
armor of god 2: operation condor was released theatrically in the us first, so it was re - titled operation condor. when that did well, the earlier film in the series was retitled from armor of god to operation condor 2: the armor of the gods .
curiosity factor: largely ironic. recently, i helped put together a couple of viewing parties for a departing friend, under the heading
wtf musicals
; the idea was to watch a series of generally baffling but entertaining musical features back - to - back, and revel in the cheese. (also on the program: the forbidden zone, the apple, happiness of the katakuris, romance and cigarettes, and more .) breakin' 2: electric boogaloo was the opener, and was largely on the roster because few of us had ever seen it, in spite of the running - joke title .
i love this movie to the bone. reminds me of my childhood in the 1980' s. i would recommend also buying the first breakdance film starring the same actors turbo and ozone and lucinder. raw footage of breaking, street dance, locking and popping. if you are into hip hop, electric funk and appreciation for all aspects of dance, buy electric boogaloo. the kid called' baby legs' in the film is a great dancer too
the magic of breakin’ and breakin’ 2 electric boogaloo comes from the core trio. lucinda dickey had been a dancer on solid gold. when she’s feeding off the moves of other dancers, she’s absorbing and not merely waiting to do her trained steps. there is a true joy in her eyes. adolfo “shabba - doo” quiñones was a member of the legendary lockers that also featured fred berry (rerun on what’s happening) and toni basil (easy rider). he knew what moves to capture on the screen. micheal chambers was part of quiñones’ dance group after the lockers so the duo knew how to move off each other. he would go on to perform as the urkel - bot on family matters. quiñones is still a major choreographer. dickey married a producer of survivor and retired from showbiz .
in breakin' 2: electric boogaloo, turbo, ozone and special k are pied pipers who spread dance everywhere they go, as if blessed with a magical, unseen dance ray that, when pointed in the directions of cops or nurses, instantly transforms them from stiff, white squares into dancing machines. adorable moppets also figure prominently, as befits a movie about street dancers helping protect disadvantaged kids from cartoonishly evil exemplars of white bread, old - money evil. the filmmakers stop just short of having a puppy parade march through the climactic breakdancing show in their efforts to throw in seemingly everything a mass audience might find appealing .

jojo' s bizarre adventure' s story is split into several parts, with each one given a very electric boogaloo - ish title. starting from the beginning we have: phantom blood, battle tendency, stardust crusaders, diamond is unbreakable, vento aureo, stone ocean, steel ball run, and jojolion .
this movie is silly beyond silly, but is an entertaining bit of fluff. its bad reputation is well earned and deeply deserved, but it’s fun to watch and doesn’t require your undivided attention, making it good for saturday afternoon viewing. plus, it’s the actual movie that launched the enduring “ * movie * 2: electric boogaloo” meme, a joke so iconic that the documentary about golan & globus borrowed the title – that’s reason enough alone to watch it .
gradually happened with leprechaun. there' s leprechaun, followed by leprechaun 2 and leprechaun 3, then introducing subtitles with leprechaun 4 in space, followed by dropping the number for leprechaun in the hood and ending with leprechaun back 2 tha hood by mimicking two fast two furious' s ridiculous title .
the kids in'' breakin' 2: electric boogaloo'' like break - dancing so much that they prefer it to drug - taking and larceny. this, they argue, is the reason a community center called miracles, which they have covered with blinding graffiti, should not be razed to make way for a mall. one kindly adult in the area understands the kids and their need to dance; the others are steadfastly in favor of the shopping center. and there you have it: a plot no teen - movie enthusiast could fail to recognize. be it break - dancing or drag - racing or surfing, some things never change .
ice - t would go on to fame as one of the first gangsta rappers and, later, as a cop for four decades on law & order: special victims unit. but in breakin' he' s incongruously cast as a party rapper credited hilariously as
rap talker ,
whose electro - funk - fueled ditties extensively reference both the film' s plot and its main characters. in breakin' 2: electric boogaloo he even performs at the climactic big breakdancing show to summarize the film' s plot. though he' s referred to as
ice - t
it' s as if it' s an off - brand, discarded version of ice - t, one that was all about getting the party people on their feet rather than tales of criminal bravado, appeared in the film instead of the final, finished version.
