Description

This "First Edition" release of The Story Of Breakin' From The Streets To Electric Boogaloo is a FULL COLOR version that clocks in at a whopping 525 pages & comes with a fantastic Foreward by Breakin’ 2 Director, Sam Firstenberg.If you were a movie fan in the 1980s, it was almost impossible to escape the dance movie craze. 1984 was the year of Breakdancing and the first street dance movie to pop & lock in cinemas was Breakin’, a low-budget test-tube experiment from Cannon Films that would become a sleeper hit at the box office. “Breakin’ presented a romanticised version of hip-hop culture and became the ‘Cinderella Story’ of street dancing”. The film’s success was ultimately the key link between the art form and the rest of the world. The Story Of Breakin’ From The Streets To Electric Boogaloo uncovers the complete backstory on the making of the Breakin’ films. It explores the casting process, reveals intriguing behind the scenes stories, unearths missing songs from the soundtracks, takes a close look at what the critics & fans had to say and digs deep to find out what happened to the stars beyond Breakin’. On top of all this, the book addresses hip-hop’s origins, pays tribute to the individuals who influenced the culture and documents the evolution of Cannon Films. The Story of Breakin’ also shines the spotlight on the ultimate dance-off; when Breakin’ & Beat Street went head to head to become the first mainstream breakdancing movie. It’s all here; hip-hop history, breakdance documentaries, landmark dance flicks, influential music videos, movie analysis, celebrity quotes, rare trivia, newspaper clippings, memorabilia, personal recollections, the magic behind Turbo’s broom dance and of course, how Breakin’ 2’s cheeky subtitle, “Electric Boogaloo” has now become an affectionate label for sequels. Yes, authors Tony & Doug Pichaloff have done their absolute best to make this read, the ultimate head-spin from the totally awesome 80’s.
