Breakdancing, hip-hop, rap, and a good time are the main stars of this standard teen movie about youths trying to raise money to save their community club from being razed for a shopping mall. Ozone (Adolfo Quiñones) and Turbo (Michael Chambers) are two master breakdancers who have started a community club to teach other teens how to manage the acrobatics of the dance without literally breaking anything. Their efforts create some choreographed, group breakdancing that is rather innovative. But an evil developer (Peter MacLean) sees their property as ideal for a shopping mall project -- and a crooked politician is willing to back him up for a fee. As the teens do their best to raise money to keep their center, some are also battling with restrictive parents or trying to ease into romantic liaisons that offer their own challenges. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

The 1984 breakdancing masterpiece Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo comes to DVD from MGM with a standard full-frame transfer. Audio is presented in English Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo with subtitles in English, Spanish, and French. Closed captions are accessible. The only special feature is the original theatrical trailer. Given the historical importance and nostalgic value of this classic '80s movie, it's unfortunate MGM didn't grant it a better DVD release. Even so, this is a highly recommended disc for anyone who enjoys '80s fashion, old school hip-hop, and the unheralded belief in the power of breakdancing. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
