    Gloriously bad, but meant to be cutting edge. Good times.

    Cute 80's movie. Go leg warmers and spandex! Look out for Jean-Claude Van Dam's first ever on-screen appearance!

    I just watched it again. Although it brought back some memories, it has cheesy dialogue, acting, costumes, dancing, and some of the funniest "cameos" I've seen in years. You ain't seen nothing til you've seen Jean-Claude Van Damme in a full spandex suit trying to break dance. D...( read more)id I mention the cheesiest cheesy dialogue to ever cut cheese? Oh yeah, and let's not forget the 80s way to settle a score: breakdance fighting. I can't belive I'm about to type this, but LOL!

    Question: Whatever happened to Lucinda Dickey?

    Whatever happened to the artist that was known as Boogaloo Shrimp?

    Remember for those that were obessed with the 80's when breakdance was the thing for kids to do before things today got total outta control???
