Breakin was a horrible movie. With a title that says "breakin", you'd think they'd have some actual breakdancing in the dam movie! There was very very little of it.

Breakin was dreadful

Breakin' was a Hollywood exec's view on hip hop at the time.

I think this film is superior to "Breakin'; more dance sequences, rawer soundtrack, and generally more down to earth. Plus, it has Saunudra Santiago; how can one go wrong?
shareI liked both movies. Felt like the Beat Street was about the music and the gritty NY scene while Breakin only really about the dancing.
Just a personal observation... Turbo, Ozone, Taco, etc. were great, more upright styles with popin/lockin/robotics. But I recall seeing more ground and spin moves in my neighborhood at the time, definitely like we see in the Beat Street Roxy Battle scene. The red tracksuits were A+ gear back then ha ha. Windmills also very impressive.
True.
