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 (... read more read more...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, Rovi

    The name alone makes this sequel of all sequels.
  • March 13, 2007
    This sometimes exhilarating break-dancing movie is better than the original.
  • March 5, 2007
    Cute 80s movie sequel, except for the excess of florescent spandex.
  • July 17, 2008
    I have to be the proudest owner of this sequel, the one destined to rule them all. Everything horrible that ever came out of the 1980's was super glued into the most generic of stories with performances that would make Pia Zadora look like an Academy Award darling. Still, you can... read more't help but love all the cheese.

    It won't enrich your life but at least you'll recognize a lot of people in it. It has the typical rich white power mad villain.

    my rating is based on watching it when I was 10 years old - loved it then - will have to see it again

    "i believe int he beat...i believe in the way i felllWhen I'm dancing it seems like...everything's alright..."

    This is still my favorite dance movies of all-time. I remember watching this all the time when I was a little kid back in like '88 and '89. Always wanted to learn how to breakdance, but never did. Turbo's dance scene on the ceiling is still my favorite.

    They're not breakin' their necks dancin' like You Got Served but Adolfo Quinones kicks their butt as the originator in this blueprint movie.
  • February 9, 2007
    In 1984, "Breakin'" came out to the theartes, and later on, a sequel, this film is a good film and has some good qualities as the first. The dancing is great and the music, too.
