Welcome to Hip Hop Movie Club, where three

old heads put their old heads together

00:00:11,011 --> 00:00:13,847

to vibe on some of the most memorable

or forgettable

00:00:14,055 --> 00:00:17,100

hip hop themed movies of all time.

00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:21,187

And here's HHMC with your emcees Boogie.

00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:24,399

JB and DynoWright.

00:00:26,568 --> 00:00:28,528

C'mon! Bring it!

00:00:28,528 --> 00:00:30,697

Welcome to Season one, Episode three.

00:00:30,697 --> 00:00:32,032

Breakin'

00:00:36,202 --> 00:00:38,455

Breakin', also known as "Breakdancing:

00:00:38,455 --> 00:00:42,584

the Movie" was directed by Joel Silberg

with story by Charles Parker

00:00:42,584 --> 00:00:44,169

and Allen DeBevoise.

00:00:44,169 --> 00:00:46,171

The two of them also wrote the screenplay with

00:00:46,171 --> 00:00:51,468

Gerald Scaife. The film stars

Adolfo "Shabba Doo" Quinones as Ozone,

00:00:51,926 --> 00:00:56,806

Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chambers

as Turbo and Lucinda Dickey as Kelly.

00:00:57,557 --> 00:01:00,101

Christopher McDonald and Ice-T

also featured

00:01:00,101 --> 00:01:01,269

in this movie.

00:01:04,898 --> 00:01:08,151

Breakin' is a 1984 movie

in which a young, aspiring

00:01:08,151 --> 00:01:11,654

jazz dancer, Kelly, aims

to elevate her skills to a new level.

00:01:12,447 --> 00:01:14,407

Perhaps into a main profession,

00:01:15,450 --> 00:01:15,950

as well as

00:01:15,950 --> 00:01:18,161

escape her lustful dance

instructor Franco.

00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:24,125

She finds escape and is enlightened

into the world of street dancing, a.k.a.

00:01:24,125 --> 00:01:25,376

breakdancing.

00:01:25,376 --> 00:01:27,837

Upon meeting Ozone and Turbo,

00:01:28,379 --> 00:01:30,840

young stars in this innovative style

00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,343

as their friendship blossomed,

so does her skill set.

00:01:34,260 --> 00:01:36,846

She is all in on

promoting the art of breakdancing

00:01:36,846 --> 00:01:39,974

and exorcizing her past

and any haters along the way.

00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:45,939

One

00:01:49,526 --> 00:01:51,861

So what do we like about this film?

00:01:52,362 --> 00:01:54,030

You want to kick us off Boogie?

00:01:54,030 --> 00:01:54,948

Sure.

00:01:54,948 --> 00:01:56,116

Breakin' is one of those movies

00:01:56,116 --> 00:01:58,827

that I grew up watching,

so I always enjoyed watching it.

00:01:58,910 --> 00:02:02,497

This is one of those coming of age movies

where you have people that are trying

00:02:02,497 --> 00:02:06,876

to make a way when they feel like

they don't have a way, and in happenstance

00:02:06,876 --> 00:02:10,755

they come across someone who offers them

hope and a chance

00:02:10,755 --> 00:02:13,925

to kind of take what they're doing

and make the situation better.

00:02:13,925 --> 00:02:17,262

So with that,

I mean, the scenes and the dance battles

00:02:17,262 --> 00:02:20,557

and dancing in the movie is always

something I always enjoyed watching.

00:02:20,557 --> 00:02:23,810

I always tried to emulate that dancing

when I was a kid.

00:02:24,185 --> 00:02:28,481

I used to have my box out out in the

front of the house in my music playing.

00:02:28,690 --> 00:02:32,026

You know, the dancing always was something

that captivated me, you know, Turbo

00:02:32,026 --> 00:02:35,155

and Ozone, the two characters played by

00:02:35,196 --> 00:02:38,032

The late great

Shabba Doo and Boogaloo Shrimp.

00:02:38,575 --> 00:02:41,953

They had a chemistry like a

a Laurel and Hardy

00:02:41,953 --> 00:02:44,789

type chemistry where they fed off

of each other's energy.

00:02:45,081 --> 00:02:48,960

So the scenes with the two of them,

they had a lot of comedic presence

00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,381

about the two of them, even when they were

not necessarily trying to be comedic.

00:02:53,381 --> 00:02:56,509

I think it was more so the tone of

the movie, they kept it light hearted

00:02:56,926 --> 00:03:00,054

So even in some of those serious scenes,

they were very comedic.

00:03:00,054 --> 00:03:03,057

So it's always good

to see those two onscreen together.

00:03:03,474 --> 00:03:06,728

The dancing and the lightheartedness

of the movie was something I always enjoy.

00:03:06,853 --> 00:03:09,647

It focuses on breakdancing,

but it's not necessarily

00:03:09,939 --> 00:03:13,902

a lot of rap music in it, although you do

see some cameos of rappers in the movie.

00:03:14,235 --> 00:03:18,031

But the tone of the movie was always

something that I enjoy.

00:03:18,489 --> 00:03:20,950

Donna. Right. Want to add anything?

00:03:20,950 --> 00:03:22,035

So I like that.

00:03:22,035 --> 00:03:25,997

Since we had two New York movies,

we're now on the West Coast

00:03:26,164 --> 00:03:30,168

and actually see what that culture's like

in terms of early hip hop.

00:03:30,168 --> 00:03:33,171

So I enjoyed that. Yeah, I agree.

00:03:33,213 --> 00:03:37,133

It was nice to see the West Coast right

I enjoyed the film.

00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:38,927

I hadn't seen it since I was a kid

00:03:38,927 --> 00:03:43,139

and for some reason, break

into stood out to me more in my memory.

00:03:43,473 --> 00:03:48,186

Maybe because the catchy title, Electric

Boogaloo but I'm glad I rewatched it.

00:03:48,561 --> 00:03:52,023

I would think for all intents

and purposes, breaking really

00:03:52,023 --> 00:03:55,693

for real, put breakdancing

into the mainstream of American conscious.

00:03:55,902 --> 00:03:56,444

Right.

00:03:56,444 --> 00:03:59,530

I think the other films that we reviewed

so far, like a beach street

00:03:59,572 --> 00:04:03,117

while still more like still underground,

still a little bit more raw.

00:04:03,618 --> 00:04:08,248

Now you see children breakdancing,

you see them having a good time with it,

00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,001

converting jazz dancers

into break dancers.

00:04:12,460 --> 00:04:15,296

And I remember as a kid

wanting to also emulate ozone

00:04:15,296 --> 00:04:17,882

and Turbo,

we're emulating their moves and all that.

00:04:18,716 --> 00:04:21,135

If I saw this correctly,

the movie had a small budget

00:04:21,135 --> 00:04:25,056

of like 1.2 million, and it garnered

almost $39 million at the box office.

00:04:25,056 --> 00:04:27,100

Back. And,

you know, back then, that's huge.

00:04:27,475 --> 00:04:29,227

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

00:04:29,227 --> 00:04:33,606

Major distributor Golden Globe is,

you know, that's a major distributor

00:04:33,606 --> 00:04:34,649

for films at that time.

00:04:34,649 --> 00:04:38,069

So it definitely pushed it

to the forefront, as you say.

00:04:39,195 --> 00:04:40,571

And it kicks off right away.

00:04:40,571 --> 00:04:43,741

You see the fashion moonwalk, right?

00:04:43,950 --> 00:04:48,246

And the opening scenes and

there was a little dude there, not Turbo,

00:04:48,246 --> 00:04:51,666

but a real little dude who was like, well,

this is their hot shot.

00:04:51,958 --> 00:04:54,585

But that's what it

00:04:54,585 --> 00:04:56,671

appears on both breaking

and breaking to me.

00:04:56,671 --> 00:04:58,756

Both of them. Were so impressive, right?

00:04:59,299 --> 00:05:00,883

The term pop in and lock in is used.

00:05:00,883 --> 00:05:02,885

That's the first time I had heard that.

00:05:03,511 --> 00:05:08,016

And there are some like epic scenes

in the Turbos Broom dance scene

00:05:08,016 --> 00:05:11,102

where he's dancing alongside the broom

outside the convenience store where

00:05:11,686 --> 00:05:13,146

he knows own work.

00:05:13,146 --> 00:05:15,189

And it's almost like a magic trick.

00:05:15,189 --> 00:05:19,068

He's, like, controlling the broom

and dancing around it.

00:05:19,110 --> 00:05:21,487

And that was that was pretty sweet.

00:05:21,487 --> 00:05:23,114

Yeah. That's a classic scene right there.

00:05:23,114 --> 00:05:26,576

Anybody that you know knows break

and remembers that scene.

100

00:05:26,576 --> 00:05:29,537

And they always point that scene out

when they were in a store.

101

00:05:29,912 --> 00:05:33,499

And Orson Welles was they refer to him

as Fred Astaire, and he's like,

102

00:05:33,499 --> 00:05:36,627

Who And then he goes outside his door

and he has a Fred Astaire moment.

103

00:05:39,297 --> 00:05:39,756

Yeah.

104

00:05:39,756 --> 00:05:43,217

I mean, not to get ahead on breaking two,

but I think, you know, when Reagan two

105

00:05:43,217 --> 00:05:47,013

is the one where the you know,

he dances on this on the side of the walls

106

00:05:47,013 --> 00:05:47,764

and on the ceilings.

107

00:05:47,764 --> 00:05:51,100

And so that and that they emulated

some Fred Astaire with that also.

108

00:05:51,225 --> 00:05:54,729

So they tried to bring some classic there

109

00:05:54,729 --> 00:05:58,483

culture really was shown

and the Ozone Dubs

110

00:05:58,691 --> 00:06:02,445

Kelly special k, you know that's a

you know people monikers and nicknames

111

00:06:03,112 --> 00:06:06,616

and I like that there was a storyline

in that you could understand.

112

00:06:07,241 --> 00:06:07,533

Yeah.

113

00:06:07,533 --> 00:06:13,081

Like I mentioned in the synopsis, Kelly's

dance instructor was a creep.

114

00:06:13,081 --> 00:06:14,624

Very lustful. Right.

115

00:06:14,624 --> 00:06:18,878

Tried to advance on her with a kiss,

and she's she wants none of it.

116

00:06:18,878 --> 00:06:20,713

And, you know, she runs away.

117

00:06:20,713 --> 00:06:22,006

And it's a theme throughout.

118

00:06:22,006 --> 00:06:26,219

Even the agent that she taught

agent is a shady character

119

00:06:26,219 --> 00:06:30,181

where it's almost like

he wants to be a love interest for. Her.

120

00:06:30,723 --> 00:06:32,642

And she just wants to advance her career.

121

00:06:32,642 --> 00:06:36,229

So you see a lot of that

and that agent James James Wilcox,

122

00:06:36,229 --> 00:06:39,565

I think it was was played

by McDonald was the name Chris.

123

00:06:40,149 --> 00:06:40,900

Chris, Chris.

124

00:06:41,025 --> 00:06:41,734

McDonald.

125

00:06:41,734 --> 00:06:43,903

Chris Chris McDonald, who played

126

00:06:43,903 --> 00:06:47,532

Shooter McGavin is part I remember him

most for and Happy Gilmore film.

127

00:06:47,532 --> 00:06:50,493

I saw him with the like curlier hair

and I'm like, that's shoot him again.

128

00:06:50,493 --> 00:06:51,911

And so that. Was kind of fun.

129

00:06:52,995 --> 00:06:53,830

Yeah.

130

00:06:54,288 --> 00:06:54,414

Yeah.

131

00:06:54,414 --> 00:06:57,166

I remember him from all this, too.

132

00:06:57,792 --> 00:06:58,876

Please remember.

133

00:06:59,710 --> 00:07:00,336

Yeah.

134

00:07:01,295 --> 00:07:02,713

Yeah. He's been with a lot of stuff.

135

00:07:02,713 --> 00:07:04,632

Yeah, he's he's had extensive career.

136

00:07:04,632 --> 00:07:05,591

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

137

00:07:05,591 --> 00:07:07,927

Into some TV shows and whatnot, right?

138

00:07:08,553 --> 00:07:10,138

Yeah, there was some,

there were some funny scenes.

139

00:07:10,138 --> 00:07:12,390

There was a one scene also.

140

00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:16,144

They were having lunch and there was these

redneck guys maybe demonstrate

141

00:07:16,477 --> 00:07:18,271

throwing a quarter at them.

142

00:07:18,271 --> 00:07:22,608

And then Turbo, you know, love Turbo's

Moxie standing up to the people.

143

00:07:22,608 --> 00:07:24,694

And you'll see that throughout.

That's the series, right?

144

00:07:24,694 --> 00:07:26,195

And he just stands up comes water.

145

00:07:26,195 --> 00:07:30,116

And the guy, the barroom brawl ensues

and they end up escaping

146

00:07:30,116 --> 00:07:32,410

and they're beating each other up.

So that was kind of silly.

147

00:07:32,410 --> 00:07:33,286

I like that.

148

00:07:33,786 --> 00:07:34,287

Yeah.

149

00:07:34,287 --> 00:07:37,081

There's a lot of can't be fun in

this movie, which I enjoyed

150

00:07:38,166 --> 00:07:40,334

it. Just the whole leotard thing within

151

00:07:40,334 --> 00:07:43,087

the eighties is nostalgic and fun for you.

152

00:07:44,005 --> 00:07:45,798

You don't really see that anymore

153

00:07:45,798 --> 00:07:49,260

unless you're like on purpose

trying to be retro or vintage.

154

00:07:49,260 --> 00:07:50,428

But of.

155

00:07:50,428 --> 00:07:53,306

Funny to see that leotard and leg warmers

156

00:07:53,806 --> 00:07:57,518

as contrasted with like all the leather

studded leather belts and bracelets

157

00:07:57,518 --> 00:08:00,730

and things that I forgot that

whole part of the whole early hip hop.

158

00:08:00,730 --> 00:08:01,272

Scene.

159

00:08:01,272 --> 00:08:02,106

And the big.

160

00:08:02,106 --> 00:08:03,316

Dangling earrings would.

161

00:08:03,316 --> 00:08:05,443

Think dangling earrings.

162

00:08:05,443 --> 00:08:08,404

I was drawing connections

to like the punk scene with like that

163

00:08:08,404 --> 00:08:09,572

had leather belts and stuff.

164

00:08:09,572 --> 00:08:10,281

Absolutely.

165

00:08:10,281 --> 00:08:13,451

There's there's some kindred spirit

happening between early hip hop and.

166

00:08:13,743 --> 00:08:15,995

Oh yeah. At that time with punk.

167

00:08:15,995 --> 00:08:18,372

I had a moment.

168

00:08:18,372 --> 00:08:19,665

Yeah. I mean, these are all outside.

169

00:08:19,665 --> 00:08:21,042

You're against the norm. Right?

170

00:08:21,042 --> 00:08:21,626

Nobody has seen

171

00:08:21,626 --> 00:08:25,463

this style of Dance Street, and they're

both kind of like street cultures, right?

172

00:08:25,588 --> 00:08:27,757

Yeah. Yeah. Subcultures and

173

00:08:28,758 --> 00:08:29,800

ahead of their time.

174

00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:30,426

Sure.

175

00:08:32,845 --> 00:08:36,641

Also thought you saw

176

00:08:37,475 --> 00:08:38,017

the battle

177

00:08:38,017 --> 00:08:40,811

between ozone and turbo and electro rock.

178

00:08:41,145 --> 00:08:43,648

Oh, yeah, true. Right.

So there's electro rock crew.

179

00:08:43,648 --> 00:08:48,110

That's they're the rivals

so you see them bump heads a few times.

180

00:08:48,110 --> 00:08:49,487

Was interesting.

181

00:08:49,862 --> 00:08:50,404

Yeah.

182

00:08:50,404 --> 00:08:54,283

I liked I always like the presence

of the electoral rock guys, man.

183

00:08:54,825 --> 00:08:56,953

One of my favorite pop lockers is actually

184

00:08:57,578 --> 00:09:00,498

one of the electoral electoral rock,

Bruno Falcon.

185

00:09:00,998 --> 00:09:04,210

He's a very well known West Coast

pop laugher.

186

00:09:04,835 --> 00:09:07,088

Even if you you know Google his name.

187

00:09:07,088 --> 00:09:11,592

I remember maybe, maybe a year or so ago,

there's videos circulating

188

00:09:11,592 --> 00:09:15,555

on Facebook with him pop locking,

and he's got like long gray hair.

189

00:09:16,305 --> 00:09:18,641

Yeah. Still going at it.

You know, doing it.

190

00:09:19,016 --> 00:09:19,725

Yeah.

191

00:09:19,725 --> 00:09:21,352

Still doing it.

192

00:09:22,645 --> 00:09:24,730

It was some classic songs as well.

193

00:09:24,730 --> 00:09:26,148

Like you mentioned Boogie.

194

00:09:26,148 --> 00:09:28,568

There was not real like true

hip hop in this.

195

00:09:28,568 --> 00:09:31,821

A lot of beats, but also but there was

the classic there's no stopping us

196

00:09:32,572 --> 00:09:34,365

early on, Molly and Jerry.

197

00:09:34,365 --> 00:09:36,033

Mm hmm. Classic.

198

00:09:36,033 --> 00:09:36,867

Right. In the opening.

199

00:09:36,867 --> 00:09:39,704

And that kind of sets the tone.

I like that.

200

00:09:40,454 --> 00:09:42,832

There was another Chaka Khan song later on

201

00:09:42,832 --> 00:09:45,918

and not recalling it right now or anybody.

202

00:09:46,002 --> 00:09:47,920

Yeah, I know, but here we go.

203

00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,339

You know? But it's the exact great, right?

204

00:09:50,590 --> 00:09:51,007

Yeah.

205

00:09:51,007 --> 00:09:51,591

Yeah, that was when

206

00:09:51,591 --> 00:09:55,511

there was some little romantic interludes

kind of between Kelly and Ozone, right?

207

00:09:55,511 --> 00:09:57,555

That's. You see that song? Come on. The

208

00:09:58,514 --> 00:09:59,682

classic song right there, or.

209

00:09:59,682 --> 00:10:01,017

I love that song.

210

00:10:01,017 --> 00:10:01,309

Yeah.

211

00:10:01,309 --> 00:10:03,477

Although I had the name slipped my mind

for a second, too.

212

00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:03,853

Yeah.

213

00:10:03,853 --> 00:10:08,983

That's why I was like, the

the contrast between terminals.

214

00:10:09,442 --> 00:10:11,068

Kind of like a street dance and culture.

215

00:10:11,068 --> 00:10:14,864

And, you know, they come at a high class

party at the end and they show up.

216

00:10:15,156 --> 00:10:19,452

There was a funny line with Turbo,

who just is the more comedic one,

217

00:10:19,702 --> 00:10:23,331

as you said, and there's a type of cheese

that he never saw.

218

00:10:23,497 --> 00:10:25,249

Oh, you you say you said something like,

219

00:10:25,249 --> 00:10:27,376

would you like this pig cheese

or something?

220

00:10:27,376 --> 00:10:28,085

Yeah.

221

00:10:28,210 --> 00:10:29,712

He's the cheese.

222

00:10:29,712 --> 00:10:30,421

Big cheese.

223

00:10:30,421 --> 00:10:32,548

Pizza, single woman. Awesome. Pig cheese.

224

00:10:32,715 --> 00:10:34,258

Yeah. Yeah,

225

00:10:34,675 --> 00:10:37,011

see another. One? Cheese.

226

00:10:37,011 --> 00:10:37,678

Yeah.

227

00:10:38,304 --> 00:10:39,847

He's charming the older ladies, right?

228

00:10:39,847 --> 00:10:41,724

But I absolutely loved him.

229

00:10:41,724 --> 00:10:42,975

Yeah, exactly. He did.

230

00:10:44,018 --> 00:10:44,644

Yeah.

231

00:10:46,145 --> 00:10:47,229

There was another.

232

00:10:47,229 --> 00:10:50,441

So that whole juxtaposition with the

the ultraconservative folks,

233

00:10:50,441 --> 00:10:54,612

and there's a big contest at the end,

and they're getting denied.

234

00:10:55,029 --> 00:10:55,988

This is a common theme.

235

00:10:55,988 --> 00:10:58,032

Kelly

kept getting denied in her own auditions.

236

00:10:58,032 --> 00:11:00,409

At one point,

she put on a wig to try to look blond.

237

00:11:00,618 --> 00:11:02,078

That's not what they wanted, right?

238

00:11:02,078 --> 00:11:04,789

She kept failing.

And then even this bigger contest

239

00:11:04,789 --> 00:11:07,833

where the creepy Franco instructor was at,

right?

240

00:11:08,125 --> 00:11:11,504

James, the agent, had a hard time

getting called all this contest.

241

00:11:11,504 --> 00:11:13,047

Couldn't get them in.

242

00:11:13,047 --> 00:11:17,885

Finally, you know,

he has them show up in top hats and suits,

243

00:11:18,135 --> 00:11:21,514

looking all formal

and got them under a fake name.

244

00:11:21,764 --> 00:11:23,474

Put them a Trojan horse.

245

00:11:23,474 --> 00:11:25,518

Yeah, he's. Actually a lawsuit, right?

246

00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:29,105

He called them, like Allegro,

which is a fancy Italian act.

247

00:11:29,105 --> 00:11:30,856

Right. And he gets them in.

248

00:11:32,108 --> 00:11:34,694

They start breakdancing and stuff

like that and turning heads,

249

00:11:34,694 --> 00:11:37,863

and they kind of told, you know,

we don't like your style, whatever,

250

00:11:38,114 --> 00:11:42,993

these old, decrepit judges and whatnot,

but they still rip

251

00:11:42,993 --> 00:11:46,330

in the sleeves and just, you know,

continue to dance, don't give up.

252

00:11:46,539 --> 00:11:48,541

And I like that scene at the end.

253

00:11:48,541 --> 00:11:50,543

There is a good scene.

254

00:11:50,543 --> 00:11:52,586

Makes redemption.

255

00:11:52,586 --> 00:11:52,837

Yeah.

256

00:11:52,837 --> 00:11:54,880

They broke through in. A.

257

00:11:56,048 --> 00:11:59,677

Got there there

well deserved shine and they got noticed.

258

00:12:00,010 --> 00:12:00,678

Right there.

259

00:12:00,678 --> 00:12:03,222

But nobody wanted to give him a chance

260

00:12:03,222 --> 00:12:06,183

and they had even seen what they could do

he just went off of pure appearance.

261

00:12:06,183 --> 00:12:08,769

I don't like the look like,

oh, no, you're not professional.

262

00:12:09,979 --> 00:12:12,940

But when they sat down and let them do

what they could do, they all enjoyed it.

263

00:12:13,607 --> 00:12:15,192

Exactly. It was funny.

264

00:12:15,192 --> 00:12:19,113

The old crusty judge kept saying,

Go away like three or four times.

265

00:12:19,113 --> 00:12:23,075

Finally, the younger judge was like,

Hold on a second, I want a second.

266

00:12:23,117 --> 00:12:24,785

And then they finally all came around.

267

00:12:24,785 --> 00:12:26,620

They were like even dancing on the tables.

268

00:12:26,620 --> 00:12:28,581

And Franco was trying to get them

269

00:12:28,581 --> 00:12:32,084

to get the judges to dismiss them,

and they were like, Pull away.

270

00:12:32,460 --> 00:12:33,377

You ever watch this.

271

00:12:36,005 --> 00:12:37,423

Frankenstorm sound like the baby?

272

00:12:37,423 --> 00:12:38,716

That is.

273

00:12:38,924 --> 00:12:41,761

And then there's a big music video type

feel at the end.

274

00:12:42,428 --> 00:12:43,763

Again, there's no stopping us.

275

00:12:43,763 --> 00:12:46,056

Was headlining at the Street Jazz Show.

276

00:12:46,056 --> 00:12:47,892

You know, towards the end,

they they teased the sequel.

277

00:12:47,892 --> 00:12:51,896

I remember the closing credits, so we knew

that there was going to be a sequel.

278

00:12:52,146 --> 00:12:54,815

Oh, you think they voted no right away?

279

00:12:55,483 --> 00:12:56,859

Yep. This story is true.

280

00:12:56,859 --> 00:12:57,610

So we report.

281

00:12:57,610 --> 00:13:00,154

See exactly what? Ice-T.

282

00:13:00,321 --> 00:13:01,030

Yeah.

283

00:13:01,405 --> 00:13:01,781

Yeah.

284

00:13:01,781 --> 00:13:03,908

Very young and spry. Ice-T.

285

00:13:05,201 --> 00:13:08,746

I mean, he spry now,

but was really like, wow.

286

00:13:08,746 --> 00:13:10,748

Like, he's back from back then.

287

00:13:10,748 --> 00:13:12,750

He's from back in the day.

Back in the day.

288

00:13:12,750 --> 00:13:14,794

Yeah. Yeah.

289

00:13:15,961 --> 00:13:18,255

Now he's on my cereal box

in the back of my Cheerios.

290

00:13:18,339 --> 00:13:19,465

You see that?

291

00:13:20,841 --> 00:13:23,302

That's the dance in

the morning with coach Ice-T.

292

00:13:24,804 --> 00:13:25,846

I'll put that in the stories.

293

00:13:25,846 --> 00:13:28,808

But I was like, Oh, that's nice.

294

00:13:28,808 --> 00:13:30,601

T like the body can't get it.

295

00:13:30,601 --> 00:13:33,395

Like Team Cheerios, cereal Cheerios. Box.

296

00:13:33,395 --> 00:13:34,271

Are they on

297

00:13:36,357 --> 00:13:37,483

anyway? Ice-T.

298

00:13:37,483 --> 00:13:37,775

Yeah.

299

00:13:37,775 --> 00:13:40,694

Iced teas, rapping,

emceeing the event at the radio Tron Club.

300

00:13:40,986 --> 00:13:44,448

And, yeah, he's

one of his early performances.

301

00:13:44,615 --> 00:13:46,200

Absolutely.

302

00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,494

Salute to the OG Ice-T.

303

00:13:48,494 --> 00:13:52,957

Oh, the one of the funny thing,

too, is the agent, James McGavin.

304

00:13:54,291 --> 00:13:56,168

You know, he's trying to fit in, right?

305

00:13:56,168 --> 00:13:57,253

And he's, like, trying

306

00:13:57,253 --> 00:14:02,091

he doesn't know how to do a handshake

with Turbo, and he wants to be caught.

307

00:14:02,174 --> 00:14:05,928

He ends up buying them matching jackets

with the initials TCL if you cut that off,

308

00:14:05,928 --> 00:14:06,929

you'll. Feel.

309

00:14:07,054 --> 00:14:10,599

Right for each of their initials,

you know, Turbo, Kelly and Ozone.

310

00:14:11,016 --> 00:14:13,185

And that's what they go buy

an old pickle group.

311

00:14:13,269 --> 00:14:14,019

I mean.

312

00:14:14,019 --> 00:14:15,312

He actually liked that being two.

313

00:14:15,312 --> 00:14:16,897

These fit two was perfect.

314

00:14:16,897 --> 00:14:18,858

It was. It is a great name.

315

00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:20,317

Yeah. It's the perfect name for them.

316

00:14:22,361 --> 00:14:22,695

Yeah.

317

00:14:22,695 --> 00:14:23,654

There was a scene, too.

318

00:14:23,654 --> 00:14:26,490

I was really impressed by the

by the dancing.

319

00:14:27,199 --> 00:14:29,034

This was great.

320

00:14:29,034 --> 00:14:31,620

Introduced the dancing to the mainstream

break dancing

321

00:14:31,620 --> 00:14:33,205

there was a kid

dancing with crutches at the end.

322

00:14:33,205 --> 00:14:34,081

If he caught that.

323

00:14:34,081 --> 00:14:37,126

Oh, yeah, he would.

The president was great.

324

00:14:37,126 --> 00:14:38,502

That was impressive.

325

00:14:38,544 --> 00:14:41,213

I mean, upper body strength

for sure. Yeah.

326

00:14:41,213 --> 00:14:42,840

So overall, I mean.

327

00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,800

He had some cameos in there, too.

328

00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,136

Yeah. It's all about our friend

that was in there.

329

00:14:47,428 --> 00:14:50,723

Yeah. Go ahead, boogie. Now you got it.

330

00:14:50,723 --> 00:14:52,516

So so one of the early scenes

when Kelly is

331

00:14:52,516 --> 00:14:54,935

introduced

to Turbo and Ozone at the beach,

332

00:14:55,561 --> 00:14:57,521

you see a bunch of these muscle

guys in the background.

333

00:14:57,521 --> 00:15:00,190

And if you look to the left,

you see Jean-Claude Van Damme

334

00:15:00,357 --> 00:15:02,234

and that beach scene. In a. Unitary.

335

00:15:04,153 --> 00:15:05,112

Exact.

336

00:15:07,281 --> 00:15:07,656

Yeah, we could

337

00:15:07,656 --> 00:15:11,785

post it on a social media, but it's neat

and it's pans on him for a little bit.

338

00:15:11,785 --> 00:15:14,747

You could definitely tell him, Oh yeah.

339

00:15:14,747 --> 00:15:17,833

He's doing that bop that he did

in that movie that he was doing.

340

00:15:17,833 --> 00:15:20,502

Was was it a Katrina movie? Right now?

341

00:15:20,628 --> 00:15:23,088

It's a famous movie that he did

the dancing.

342

00:15:23,088 --> 00:15:25,716

Oh, he's doing the same day as he's

343

00:15:25,716 --> 00:15:28,385

rocking yes.

344

00:15:29,511 --> 00:15:30,638

That's funny.

345

00:15:31,013 --> 00:15:33,182

I just remember Kickboxer was a great one.

346

00:15:33,182 --> 00:15:33,849

Yeah.

347

00:15:33,849 --> 00:15:34,934

It might have been kickboxing.

348

00:15:34,934 --> 00:15:36,894

Was it maybe. Kickboxer?

349

00:15:36,894 --> 00:15:37,811

Yeah, it was Kickboxer.

350

00:15:37,811 --> 00:15:39,313

Yeah, boxing yeah.

351

00:15:39,313 --> 00:15:41,690

Kickboxer, you. Know.

352

00:15:41,982 --> 00:15:44,401

Extensions. Yes.

353

00:15:44,401 --> 00:15:46,820

He's got one move. I mean, it works.

354

00:15:46,820 --> 00:15:48,322

It works.

355

00:15:49,531 --> 00:15:53,702

You talk about the key stars, as you

mentioned, Shabba, do a Adolfo Quinones.

356

00:15:53,702 --> 00:15:57,331

Yes. Unfortunately, passed away

at the end of 20, 20 at age 65.

357

00:15:57,331 --> 00:16:01,418

But legendary breakdancer

and you could find him at all

358

00:16:01,418 --> 00:16:04,713

types of shows and cameos.

359

00:16:05,381 --> 00:16:07,758

And he was in a lot of music videos like

360

00:16:07,758 --> 00:16:10,844

Lionel Richie's all night long,

both him and Turbo were in that.

361

00:16:10,844 --> 00:16:14,014

And Chaka Khan,

I feel for you in those videos.

362

00:16:14,682 --> 00:16:15,307

Yeah.

363

00:16:15,599 --> 00:16:19,144

He is a well-established

choreographer and dancer.

364

00:16:19,144 --> 00:16:19,812

Yeah.

365

00:16:19,895 --> 00:16:22,606

He did a lot of work

for Madonna of choreography and

366

00:16:23,232 --> 00:16:26,944

I dug in a little bit more

and I found out that Shabba Do

367

00:16:26,944 --> 00:16:31,323

was a member of the dance crew,

the original lockers, along with Fred

368

00:16:31,323 --> 00:16:35,285

Berry, a.k.a Rerun from What's Happening,

one of my favorite shows of all time.

369

00:16:35,703 --> 00:16:36,495

Me, too.

370

00:16:36,495 --> 00:16:40,708

Tony Basil Singer from

Hey Mickey and Don Campbell,

371

00:16:40,708 --> 00:16:44,712

known as Campbell Lock, who is credited

of starting the pop and lock.

372

00:16:45,337 --> 00:16:47,715

So it's pretty cool. Yeah.

373

00:16:47,798 --> 00:16:48,716

It's definitely cool.

374

00:16:48,716 --> 00:16:52,636

And speaking of some coolness,

I came across a documentary

375

00:16:52,636 --> 00:16:56,557

on Boogaloo Shrimp a few years ago

coming to find out he was the person

376

00:16:56,557 --> 00:16:59,643

who's credited with teaching

Michael Jackson the moonwalk.

377

00:17:01,061 --> 00:17:03,689

And I just before we got on, I checked in.

378

00:17:03,689 --> 00:17:05,566

That documentary is still on.

379

00:17:05,566 --> 00:17:08,110

It's on Amazon Prime right now.

And it's also on people.

380

00:17:08,110 --> 00:17:10,237

TV's called The Boogaloo

Shrimp Documentary.

381

00:17:10,738 --> 00:17:12,906

So if you get a chance,

anyone, you'll check that out.

382

00:17:12,906 --> 00:17:13,866

It's got a lot of history

383

00:17:13,866 --> 00:17:16,869

and it talks about how you got started out

and how I started in

384

00:17:17,995 --> 00:17:19,580

what he's been up to.

385

00:17:19,580 --> 00:17:21,123

So yeah, that's pretty cool.

386

00:17:21,123 --> 00:17:23,500

Disney promotion, Boogaloo Shrimp, also.

387

00:17:23,834 --> 00:17:25,169

Michael Chambers, right?

388

00:17:25,169 --> 00:17:26,795

Yeah, very well established.

389

00:17:26,795 --> 00:17:28,422

In those videos I mentioned also.

390

00:17:28,422 --> 00:17:32,176

And I was also reading,

he played the character

391

00:17:32,176 --> 00:17:35,554

of Mike Scat Cat and Paula

Abdul's opposites attract.

392

00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:37,181

Oh man. Yeah.

393

00:17:37,181 --> 00:17:40,225

He wasn't the rapper,

but they they used his moves.

394

00:17:41,018 --> 00:17:43,353

And he's got Cat Charlotte FC sketch.

395

00:17:43,729 --> 00:17:46,273

This cat cat. Underrated emcee.

396

00:17:48,692 --> 00:17:50,861

Somewhere else.

397

00:17:51,111 --> 00:17:53,280

And that's a throwback.

398

00:17:53,572 --> 00:17:53,906

Yeah.

399

00:17:53,906 --> 00:17:58,327

You know, I looked up Cilla Dickie,

and she she was on solid gold.

400

00:17:59,078 --> 00:18:01,121

She was a solid gold dancer, solid rock.

401

00:18:01,288 --> 00:18:01,663

And I don't.

402

00:18:01,663 --> 00:18:03,165

Know how why I've never known that,

403

00:18:03,165 --> 00:18:07,753

but she was a solid gold dancer prior

to snagging the role in breaking.

404

00:18:07,753 --> 00:18:09,713

And I was like, Wow, that's really cool.

405

00:18:09,713 --> 00:18:11,006

But now, now I want to go back

406

00:18:11,006 --> 00:18:13,467

and see if I can catch her in

some of the older episodes.

407

00:18:13,550 --> 00:18:15,010

Yeah, they must be on YouTube.

408

00:18:15,010 --> 00:18:16,303

We got to go look.

409

00:18:17,179 --> 00:18:19,640

Yeah, that's right.

410

00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,892

Kids today don't know it's solid

gold, is it?

411

00:18:21,892 --> 00:18:23,852

Of solid gold?

412

00:18:23,852 --> 00:18:24,561

Solid gold.

413

00:18:24,561 --> 00:18:26,355

Now, I used to wash it every Saturday.

414

00:18:26,355 --> 00:18:28,899

Every Saturday. Exactly.

415

00:18:28,899 --> 00:18:30,984

Why Soul Train

416

00:18:31,902 --> 00:18:33,695

late morning, early afternoon.

417

00:18:33,695 --> 00:18:34,780

After the cartoons are done.

418

00:18:34,780 --> 00:18:37,574

So Soul

Train comes on right as a solid gold.

419

00:18:39,326 --> 00:18:41,078

And Cornelius.

420

00:18:41,787 --> 00:18:42,621

Yeah.

421

00:18:42,621 --> 00:18:45,040

You know, I was watching

one of my favorite actresses.

422

00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,041

She's got a small kid.

423

00:18:46,041 --> 00:18:46,875

She's got a cameo.

424

00:18:46,875 --> 00:18:49,211

She's actually

in both breaking and breaking, too.

425

00:18:49,586 --> 00:18:52,506

She's a cameo in the opening

credits lead over Shaun.

426

00:18:52,965 --> 00:18:54,800

I was watching it. I'm like,

Wait a minute.

427

00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,553

How come I've never noticed her dancing

in the beginning of the movie?

428

00:18:57,553 --> 00:19:00,806

But she's dancing in the beginning of

the movie, and I'm like, Check that out.

429

00:19:01,431 --> 00:19:04,059

And you still keep in touch with her.

430

00:19:04,601 --> 00:19:05,519

Oh, no, I don't know where.

431

00:19:05,519 --> 00:19:07,604

But, you know,

I just like I just like her.

432

00:19:07,646 --> 00:19:09,314

Her her as an actress.

433

00:19:09,314 --> 00:19:11,358

Yeah, OK. Awesome.

434

00:19:12,067 --> 00:19:15,654

That was also saw something about Shabba

do choreograph

435

00:19:16,155 --> 00:19:20,033

the 36 Mafia's performance

on the Academy Awards.

436

00:19:20,367 --> 00:19:21,076

That. Right.

437

00:19:21,076 --> 00:19:23,453

That one was that one

for the original song.

438

00:19:23,453 --> 00:19:24,872

It's hard out here for a pimp.

439

00:19:24,872 --> 00:19:27,457

Yeah, I choreographed that now.

440

00:19:27,499 --> 00:19:29,168

Yeah. Nice.

441

00:19:29,168 --> 00:19:31,628

Yeah,

that's one of the classic Oscar moments.

442

00:19:31,962 --> 00:19:34,256

Yeah, that was that was groundbreaking.

443

00:19:34,423 --> 00:19:35,465

Very well established.

444

00:19:35,465 --> 00:19:38,552

I mean, these

these guys did so much for the culture

445

00:19:38,677 --> 00:19:40,304

with great dance,

and that's what we're here about on

446

00:19:40,304 --> 00:19:43,265

the podcast, is like,

you see people doing all these

447

00:19:43,265 --> 00:19:45,517

types of dancing,

and this is kind of the origins.

448

00:19:45,517 --> 00:19:49,479

So it's neat for the young folks out there

to kind of see where it started.

449

00:19:49,897 --> 00:19:52,900

Yeah. I mean, break is now international.

450

00:19:53,025 --> 00:19:56,737

You know, you got the Red

Bull Championships, and I love watching.

451

00:19:56,945 --> 00:20:00,324

I watch those

every time I catch clips of them anywhere

452

00:20:00,824 --> 00:20:03,327

and, you know, things

that they're able to do now.

453

00:20:03,327 --> 00:20:04,453

It's it's amazing.

454

00:20:04,453 --> 00:20:08,540

But it all ties back to,

you know, what we're talking about

455

00:20:08,540 --> 00:20:10,209

in the last couple of podcasts.

456

00:20:10,209 --> 00:20:14,880

So, you know, it definitely blossom

in Rome and they see it's international.

457

00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,341

It's a way of life. It's a culture.

458

00:20:17,341 --> 00:20:19,092

It's cool. Very cool. Yeah.

459

00:20:24,514 --> 00:20:24,890

Yeah,

460

00:20:25,766 --> 00:20:26,350

yeah.

461

00:20:28,018 --> 00:20:28,518

To boogie boogie.

462

00:20:28,518 --> 00:20:31,104

You owned the vinyl.

463

00:20:31,605 --> 00:20:33,899

Is that what you were talking about

last time?

464

00:20:33,899 --> 00:20:35,817

We're showing us recently.

465

00:20:35,817 --> 00:20:38,362

There it is.

466

00:20:38,403 --> 00:20:40,447

Got the vinyl with the plastic on it

still.

467

00:20:40,656 --> 00:20:41,240

Oh, yeah.

468

00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,492

I still. Got a sticker from The Wiz.

469

00:20:43,492 --> 00:20:44,493

In. Reverse.

470

00:20:44,493 --> 00:20:47,120

How much does that? 699.

471

00:20:47,204 --> 00:20:50,165

Oh, what a deal.

472

00:20:50,165 --> 00:20:52,000

Yeah. I love this, man.

473

00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,710

This is. This is.

474

00:20:53,835 --> 00:20:54,503

Yeah.

475

00:20:56,171 --> 00:20:56,588

It's real.

476

00:20:56,588 --> 00:20:58,674

Ali and Jerry on their right.

477

00:20:58,674 --> 00:21:01,593

It's them. See what's on here.

478

00:21:01,593 --> 00:21:01,760

Yeah.

479

00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,055

There's no stopping this

freak show on the dance floor.

480

00:21:05,055 --> 00:21:06,848

Body work. 99 and a half.

481

00:21:06,848 --> 00:21:09,226

Maybe not even half is a good song. Too

good song.

482

00:21:09,559 --> 00:21:10,435

Yeah.

483

00:21:10,435 --> 00:21:15,774

The Showdown Heart of the Beat Street

people, which they perform at the end.

484

00:21:15,857 --> 00:21:16,483

Right.

485

00:21:17,025 --> 00:21:17,526

Cut it.

486

00:21:17,526 --> 00:21:20,862

Ain't nobody and reckless with

I only thing

487

00:21:20,862 --> 00:21:23,865

I wish you would have had,

but it probably was a lot of improvising.

488

00:21:23,865 --> 00:21:25,575

I wish I would have had my team stuff.

489

00:21:25,575 --> 00:21:28,120

But yeah, that stuff

was probably improvised on the spot.

490

00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:29,454

It probably wasn't even a studio record.

491

00:21:29,454 --> 00:21:32,791

It probably was probably just freestyling.

492

00:21:33,750 --> 00:21:34,418

Yeah.

493

00:21:34,668 --> 00:21:35,627

I may have had the vinyl.

494

00:21:35,627 --> 00:21:38,380

I can't recall now,

but I don't have it any longer.

495

00:21:40,299 --> 00:21:42,342

Nice to have you out there listening.

496

00:21:42,342 --> 00:21:44,678

Let us know if you

if you did that on the spot on the day

497

00:21:45,429 --> 00:21:47,681

at final level, you hit us up.

498

00:21:47,681 --> 00:21:48,932

Through

499

00:21:51,893 --> 00:21:53,145

I'm. Curious. Now

500

00:21:53,145 --> 00:21:57,524

I wonder if you could find those lyrics

anywhere else other than in the film.

501

00:21:58,233 --> 00:22:01,111

I am saying let's figure it out.

502

00:22:01,111 --> 00:22:03,864

A listener,

if you if you know this already hit us up.

503

00:22:04,281 --> 00:22:05,782

Absolutely.

504

00:22:06,199 --> 00:22:06,491

Yeah.

505

00:22:06,491 --> 00:22:09,244

I'm always curious

to do to tag them in asking.

506

00:22:09,286 --> 00:22:10,662

Him. Out. He came.

507

00:22:10,662 --> 00:22:11,788

I did come up with it.

508

00:22:11,788 --> 00:22:14,583

Is he definitely response to the fans?

509

00:22:14,583 --> 00:22:16,251

I hit his up

510

00:22:20,922 --> 00:22:21,548

three.

511

00:22:22,591 --> 00:22:25,302

Three, three, three.

512

00:22:27,095 --> 00:22:30,307

You think this movie could be made today?

513

00:22:30,307 --> 00:22:31,933

Either in this state

514

00:22:31,933 --> 00:22:36,146

like remade and preserved

like this, or a remake of it somehow.

515

00:22:36,146 --> 00:22:37,272

What do you think?

516

00:22:37,314 --> 00:22:38,106

I think so.

517

00:22:38,106 --> 00:22:40,692

Same thing I said earlier. With.

518

00:22:41,026 --> 00:22:43,779

Speed Street,

they make it as like a period piece.

519

00:22:43,904 --> 00:22:44,863

I think it'd be really cool

520

00:22:44,863 --> 00:22:48,909

to see a place in modern

filmmaking techniques, 4K and all this.

521

00:22:48,909 --> 00:22:53,205

But I think as a remake of the time,

I think it could be done.

522

00:22:54,414 --> 00:22:57,250

Yeah, I'd have to agree with Daniel

right on that one, I think.

523

00:22:57,542 --> 00:22:58,835

And I was waiting for him to say

524

00:22:58,835 --> 00:23:01,088

and he said exactly what I thought

you were going to say,

525

00:23:01,088 --> 00:23:04,299

you know, just kind of use it as a period

piece with using some modern techniques

526

00:23:04,674 --> 00:23:05,467

I totally agree.

527

00:23:05,467 --> 00:23:08,428

I think that's what would make it possible

to have it redone.

528

00:23:09,429 --> 00:23:10,514

Yeah, yeah, I agree.

529

00:23:10,514 --> 00:23:11,348

Preserve it as it is.

530

00:23:11,348 --> 00:23:13,308

Don't try to do anything more with it now.

531

00:23:13,308 --> 00:23:14,351

I really enjoyed it.

532

00:23:14,351 --> 00:23:19,064

So as we do at the end of each episode,

let's give our A rating, our take on that.

533

00:23:19,272 --> 00:23:21,942

So the question is bring that funky flick

back,

534

00:23:22,275 --> 00:23:24,694

bring that funky flick back

or leave it in the vault

535

00:23:26,696 --> 00:23:27,406

boogie.

536

00:23:27,406 --> 00:23:29,282

Oh, man,

I got to bring that funky flick back.

537

00:23:30,242 --> 00:23:31,701

This is just the classic.

538

00:23:31,701 --> 00:23:33,787

Even with some of the

some of the cheesy eighties references

539

00:23:33,787 --> 00:23:35,872

and things like that,

you can't now bring it back.

540

00:23:35,872 --> 00:23:37,666

Got to bring it back.

541

00:23:38,083 --> 00:23:39,209

I know. Right, right.

542

00:23:39,209 --> 00:23:41,503

That's funky flick back.

543

00:23:41,503 --> 00:23:44,381

It's not Hamlet or King Lear,

but it's really fun.

544

00:23:44,381 --> 00:23:46,299

It's just so much fun.

545

00:23:46,341 --> 00:23:48,927

I agree. Bring that funky flick back.

546

00:23:48,927 --> 00:23:50,429

I really enjoyed it.

547

00:23:50,637 --> 00:23:52,013

We take us out.

548

00:23:52,097 --> 00:23:52,848

Yeah, take it out.

549

00:23:52,848 --> 00:23:54,599

Left, right. This

550

00:24:08,488 --> 00:24:10,782

frigging Global.
