I used to see kids breakdancing at the mall in the 80s. It went on for months. After a while, there'd be fights and cops were getting called more frequently. That put an end to it.
Saw Breakin’ 4 times in - 1 theater in 1 day. Great time and memories. Always fun watching the breakin battles from movie goers at the movies end as everyone exited. LOL.
I saw this movie in 1984 when I was 15 yrs old and now I'm 53, but it's been flowing like blood in my veins till now. First time we saw it on a rented Video Cassette Player sharing money within friends for the rent. Thanks to the internet since it is within our reach now, and we can watch it any number of times and we never feel bored watching it again and again. Every time we watch it, it takes back us to our childhood memories. Love the wonderful cast of the movie viz Shabba doo, Lucinda Dickey and specially Michael Bogaloo Shrimp (Turbo) the No.1 Hip-hop and Breakdancers. The only sad thing and very heart breaking news was the recent death of Shabba doo in Dec 2020. May his soul RIP. Thanks for putting the hardwork for showing the Locations in the movie in this Video at that time and now.
Thanks so much for posting. I was obsessed with Breakin as a teen, only saw the second a few times. Saw both on the big screen again last week and the memories were all flooding back. This must have taken you a while to put together. Awesome content. ❤😊
man, that movie really made an impact in my life. I was 13 or 14 when it came out and I am still doing graffiti. I am 48 now. Oh, I am Dutch btw. Not that it matters but just to point out the influence of this movie, together with beat Street and Style wars on the world.
I was 13 growing up in NYC. Yea it had an impact on the culture in the US, but doing graffiti was considered ghetto and thug back then and is even worse now as an adult. Fortunately Heavy Metal had a bigger influence on me, so I stayed away from thinking I was all black and stuff.
In 1984 I was a Sophomore in highschool went to visit Venice Beaxh many times & recently came back to find the exact location were that dance scene was but the row of palm trees are not visible...thank you, 80's rock baby 🤘
nice ! ... growing up in Sweden i was really in to Break dancin and Breakin the movie etc .. now i live in los angeles and its cool to see these locations .. im gonna for sure drive down to the turbo dance location one day and take a pic ... also i took my daughter to Debbie Reynolds dance studio a few times and had no idea they filmed there .. cool ! .. thanx
Amazing job finding all those places most people would walk by without a clue, Breakin 1 -2 / beat street etc got them all in my collection. I hear Michael chambers is a great guy very friendly, shame Adolfo Quiñones and bruno Falcon have both passed away both legends RIP. Saw an interview with Lucinda Dickey (youtube) few years back talking about the breakin movies and ninja 3 interesting to hear her story, lovely lady. At 54 i have fond memories of those movies the the music and the feel good vibe they brought, i don't see them as cheesy...just fun and of course the quality of the breakin was top notch particularly from Michael.
This is absolutely wonderful, thank you for posting and sharing, sincerely do miss Adolfo Shabba-Doo Quinones AKA Ozone so very very much may he forever rest in peace
Your so very nostalgic just like me...When I watch tv or movies it puts me in a protective force field and I forget my daily problems if for just that small amount of time...Thanks for helping...
I love your channel, very entertaining. Being born and raised in Venice i always get a kick out of seeing my old stomping grounds. Do you take request? you should do one on Body Double. It's a Brian De Palma thriller from the 80's.
Out west they call it break dancing, but here in the east we originally called it Up Rocking and Floor Rocking. Up Rocking consisted of street dance moves where one individual battle danced another individual to see whom bested who. Floor Rocking consisted of solo skill dancing (breaking) with moves like windmills, turtles, headspins, etc...
I use to go there in 1985!.. RadioTron has a Reunion every year..well except for last year but RadioTron, have a friend that was a Deejay there in 1985. If you wasn't a teenager or young adult in the 1980's you missed out!
from what i've read about radiotron, the area was also used in part 2 electric boogaloo, and then later shut down. perhaps the story of it shutting down is the untold next story, where they thought they won in part 2, letting their guard down... but then it's... breakin' 3: revenge of the property developers.
When my brother and I were kids all the neighborhood kids would look for as much cardboard lay it down and start breaking in front of our garage.Best times.I got another movie for you bro.Its an 80's movie but not a teen comedy but one of my favorites.1988's Twins with DeVito and Arnold.I know of one location in Glendale.Its the parking structure where David Caruso's character works on Brand Blvd.and Monterey Rd.
@@80sLife Cool man.I forgot to mention that another location for Twins that I know is in Wilmington where Arnold "borrows"the cowboy car.My cousins lived right by that restaurant in the background Taqueria Porky's.It was so good there.Its on Avalon Blvd.I just don't remember the cross street.
I watched that movie many times and never knew Van Damme appeared in it. You could tell he could kick everybody asses there; that's why he did not give a F to be seen in spandex. Also, are those action figures at the beginning of the vid from back then or new?
I remember me and my cousin with our Panama Jack shirt 👕 and cap with the split pants connected to the back then we would ✂️ through the alley to get discarded cardboards oh and our checkered Bruce Lee shoes
Great research! I’m a location scout and would have had a hard time finding these on my own. You really must be a true fan of the movie. Again, great work.
Saw Breakin in the theater when it came out, we were all trying to do the moves in the lobby of the theater after we watched it...lol
We were dancing in the aisles lol
I used to see kids breakdancing at the mall in the 80s. It went on for months. After a while, there'd be fights and cops were getting called more frequently. That put an end to it.
Awesome!
With you on that 😁
Great story! Thank for sharing.
Saw Breakin’ 4 times in - 1 theater in 1 day. Great time and memories. Always fun watching the breakin battles from movie goers at the movies end as everyone exited. LOL.

Awesome video. Thanks for this one. RIP Shabbadoo aka Ozone, you are truly missed.

I could never get through any of these movies but the imagery, the music, and of course the dancing are just so awesome I cant help but love it still.
man, that movie really made an impact in my life. I was 13 or 14 when it came out and I am still doing graffiti. I am 48 now. Oh, I am Dutch btw. Not that it matters but just to point out the influence of this movie, together with beat Street and Style wars on the world.

Same impact UK

Saw an interview with Lucinda Dickey (youtube) few years back talking about the breakin movies and ninja 3 interesting to hear her story, lovely lady.
At 54 i have fond memories of those movies the the music and the feel good vibe they brought, i don't see them as cheesy...just fun and of course the quality of the breakin was top notch particularly from Michael.

Thank you so much for that, I really appreciate that. And I hope he does too.
Kelly .... stars in an old 80's horror movie Cheerleader Camp .... worth a watch
I love your channel, very entertaining. Being born and raised in Venice i always get a kick out of seeing my old stomping grounds. Do you take request? you should do one on Body Double. It's a Brian De Palma thriller from the 80's.

Poppin Taco is in the Maroon jacket.
His style is derived from a Cobra's behavior 🐍
Cold, better than he's given credit.
He was always one of my favorites
I use to go there in 1985!.. RadioTron has a Reunion every year..well except for last year but RadioTron, have a friend that was a Deejay there in 1985. If you wasn't a teenager or young adult in the 1980's you missed out!
My family and I went to the reunion at the park a couple years back.
Thank you for your video cool breaking was dope movie is history 👍😎
Was on Venice beach few days ago and thought about this childhood memory film
Yeah! Ive been waiting for this one!! Cant wait for Breakin 2!

That’s cool that you found the locations
Great video! Keep up the good work.
Thank you
I lived across the street from miracles building that was on Euclid avenue in Boyle heights I had fun watching them make the movie
VERY GOOD FILM 🎥 WORD UP.

I saw this movie in 1997 when I was 7 years old . I thought I was a breakdancer too
Absolutely brillaint as always
Thank you!
This is awesome 😎 👍
Fantastic 🔥🔥🔥
had no idea JCVD was in Breakin' wow...he was European Karate champion at that time...
It was one of his first onscreen appearances hence why he made sure to stand out and be noticed
classic movie
YES!!!!! SO FRESHHHH!!!!
Thank you

For sure on Twins
@@80sLife Cool man.I forgot to mention that another location for Twins that I know is in Wilmington where Arnold "borrows"the cowboy car.My cousins lived right by that restaurant in the background Taqueria Porky's.It was so good there.Its on Avalon Blvd.I just don't remember the cross street.
Ain't no stopping us 🎤🕺💃
1981 BEST Years 🙏🙏🙏🙏💪💪💪👑
Oh yeah going to have to watch this asap
Thank you
I watched that movie many times and never knew Van Damme appeared in it. You could tell he could kick everybody asses there; that's why he did not give a F to be seen in spandex. Also, are those action figures at the beginning of the vid from back then or new?
They are new. From a company called super 7
shabba doo was also a soul train dancer in the early 70s
This was jean-Claude Van Damme very first movie as an extra. 2020 sux all together and took Ozone.
I still have Breakin and Breakin 2 on vinyl. 😂
Me too
Super dope!!!!
Thank you
The legend says Jean Claude van Damme stills dancing there😂
Thanks for the memories!!!
Nice
Badass dude. Yeah.
Thank you
I remember me and my cousin with our Panama Jack shirt 👕 and cap with the split pants connected to the back then we would ✂️ through the alley to get discarded cardboards oh and our checkered Bruce Lee shoes
Lol...I went to Banning High School with Michael Chambers
Woww The rocks are covered by water now...
There was a breakdance film while the crew was called the ''delivery boys'' anyone remember the title of that film?
Where city is it?
What ever happen to the boy locker hi top? 8:40
I am shocked that all of those places still look almost the same. there should be statue of Boogaloo in front of that shop. missed opportunity.
Well said or at the very least a plaque.
TKO!
Kelly still my Crush
4:22 That's not a "boombox", it's a Ghettoblaster. Lol 😉😊🧹🕺
One of my favourite childhood films. Even at 47 years old now I still watch it on a regular basis .Really awesome video
Thank you!
You and me both!
Likewise
There you go!!!
Great research! I’m a location scout and would have had a hard time finding these on my own. You really must be a true fan of the movie. Again, great work.
Thank you so much!
1:30 So funny to see Jean-Claude Van Damme dancing in spandex. 🕺
And over doing it to get as much notice as possible. 🤣
The guy behind him is Tong Po
I never knew that Radiotron ever existed there in my old neighborhood. I used to live down the street and walk by that strip mall all the time.
