Occasionally I’ve been dropping the trailers from the movies of our childhoods. Okay, so movies from MY childhood…
It’s a constant references dropped throughout the site, so now it is time to fully appreciate the horror that is Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo.
Stephen Schleicher began his career writing for the Digital Media Online community of sites, including Digital Producer and Creative Mac covering all aspects of the digital content creation industry. He then moved on to consumer technology, and began the Coolness Roundup podcast. A writing fool, Stephen has freelanced for Sci-Fi Channel's Technology Blog, and Gizmodo. Still longing for the good ol' days, Stephen launched Major Spoilers in July 2006, because he is a glutton for punishment.

“the horror”? What’s horrible about kids saving the world with Neon Clothes, Spray Paint and Break Dancing? In the early 80’s, Breakin’ 2 was the Anti-Mad Max: a bright vision of the future instead of a gloomy apocalypse. Seeing that trailer makes me want to go “Save Miracles” all over again!
If Stephen is Ozone, and Matthew is Turbo, who is Rodrigo?
Ice-T.
Not nearly as good as the original Breakin’, but with a much funnier name!

What’s funny is that in my head every time I hear about the second film in a franchise, I immediately append Electric Boogaloo. It works best for films that don’t add their own subtitle.
We’re soon to have Iron Man 2: Electric Boogaloo.
I guess it could have been Breakin’ 2: The Squeakwel. I’ve actually never seen the Breakin’ movies which surprises me, that’s right up my alley. I like how after this they went and join Michael Jackson for a big Dance Party in the video for Bad and then a few of them got doused with acid rain and eaten by zombies in a cemetary in Return of the Living Dead.
Saw 2: Electric Boogaloo!
