Breakin' (also known as Breakdance in the United Kingdom and Break Street '84 in other regions[3]) is a 1984 American breakdancing-themed comedy-drama film directed by Joel Silberg, written by Charles Parker and Allen DeBevoise, based on a story by Parker, DeBevoise and Gerald Scaife.

The film's setting was inspired by a 1983 German documentary titled Breakin' 'n' Enterin', set in the multi-racial hip hop club Radio-Tron, based out of MacArthur Park in Los Angeles.[4] 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'.

The musical score featured the hits, "Breakin'... There's No Stopping Us" by Ollie & Jerry and "Freakshow on the Dance Floor".

Breakin' was the final Cannon film production released by MGM/UA. After release, MGM and Cannon dissolved their distribution deal, reportedly over the potentially X-rated content in John Derek's film Bolero and MGM's then-policy of not theatrically releasing X-rated material, forcing Cannon to become an in-house distribution company once again. Because of this, Breakin' is considered to be the final financially profitable film released by Cannon.

Plot

Protagonist Kelly Bennett (Lucinda Dickey) is a young dancer training under the supervision of a traditionalist choreographer, Franco (Ben Lokey). Through her friend Adam, Kelly is introduced to two street dancers, Ozone (Adolfo 'Shabba Doo' Quiñones) and Turbo (Michael 'Boogaloo Shrimp' Chambers) on the boardwalk at Venice Beach. Kelly becomes enamored with their dancing and becomes friendly with the men, dancing and talking with them. Eventually, after dancing together the three form a team. Kelly eventually leaves her studio as her choreographer does not respect breakdancing and makes unwanted advances towards her. Later, Kelly attends a dance audition and is shut down by harsh directors. Kelly then wanders to a breakdancing event where she finds Ozone and Turbo in the midst of a dance battle that they eventually lose against rivals "Electro Rock". Ozone is very defeated and is consoled by Kelly and she convinces him and Turbo to enter a dance competition. Kelly's agent friend James (Christopher McDonald), sees what the group can do and agrees to back them. However, the group is technically not allowed to perform in the dance audition because they only want "respected" forms of dance. Kelly and the crew dress up in black tie clothes to fool the judges and then start their audition. When the judges see their breakdancing they are initially shocked and disapproving. However, the three eventually win over the judges and are chosen from the audition. The group goes on to be popular, remain friends, and dance in the community.[5]

{{main|Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo}}

Breakin' was followed by a sequel, entitled Electric Boogaloo, released in 1984.

In popular culture

Several months prior to the film's release, Shabba Doo, Boogaloo Shrimp, 'Pop N' Taco, Popin Pete, DJ Chris "The Glove" Taylor and Lollipop were all prominently featured in the music video for Chaka Khan's remake of the 1979 Prince song, "I Feel for You".

Ice-T, who had a small role in the film later stated that he considers the film and his own performance in it to be "wack."[15]Breakin' and its sequel Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo have had a resurgence in popular media as people have begun to remember, mock, and praise the film over 20 years later, with the sequel's subtitle in particular becoming a snowclone pejorative nickname to denote an archetypical sequel.[16][17]

In 2019 the documentary [https://www.boogalooshrimpdocumentary.com/ Boogaloo Shrimp] by Taylor Golonka was released on Amazon Prime. It focuses on the creative talents of Michael Chambers who played Turbo in Breakin'. “Michael Chambers will go down in history as being one of the iconic innovators of the b-boy and breakdancing culture,” says documentary filmmaker Taylor Golonka.[18]
