Iv'e just seen breakin 1&2 for the first time It was never explained does turbo have some kind of MAgical powers floating brooms and walking on walls, Was it implied this was just a fantasy he was having or what?

Its a crappy scene from a crappy movie. Nothing more.

Scenes were awesome but now I'm pretty sure they were meant to be tributes to Fred Astaire, I'm still unsure if it was meant in the movie Turbo was actually doing it or it was a dream.
But then again his girlfriend came in and saw him walking on the walls

If you look really close you can see the fishing line connecting his hand to the broom. He doesn't have magical powers, silly, it's just a stylistic thing to show how smooth he can pop.

Yeah you can see the strings just like in breakin 2 when he falls down the stairs you can clearly see its a stunt double, its meant for us to believe he can float brooms and climb up walls

Yep that's right it was a fishing string, and you were able to see it for a reason. I wasn't a magic show, it was a cheap prop, it was part of the choreography, like in a stage play. In other words it was theater. he said so himself on a YouTube video.

Really? And all this time I thought it was just bad film making. I'll check it out...thanks

No he just said that to save face because you could see the Strings, IF it was suppose to be a prop are we supposed to believe in BReakin 2 he had suction cups on his feet to in order to walk on walls and it was part of the choreography.

Turbo had powers like Popeye. Instead of spinach, Turbo needed Jheri Curl.
