I get a bit emotional when I see this. It's so raw and there's so much talent both musically, acting and dancing. The whole scene is amazing. I wish I was old enough to have seen things like this in person at the height of breakdancing.
For me it’s when you see those two crews walking up to battle. They’re walking with a purpose, like serious as a heart attack. Then that standoff and the way the whole crowd clears out because they know it’s about get real. Then both crews do the nastiest breakin ever seen. This whole part is too badass
This dance battle scene is the best cinematic dance battle ever....the fuckin intro..."Bronx Rockers, Gino! Lep! c'mon!"..."Yo there's Beat Street let's serve 'em" that's how you set a battle off.
I remember growing up in those days … we didn’t solve problems by fighting or shooting each other but challenging in many different ways break dancing , rapping , graffiti , DJ etc etc things change now but I would never forget that era will always be in my heart
You know how good this is? I’m from the BX and we moved to PR in the 80s when I was a teenager. When I got to PR and people learned I was from NYC people challenged me because obviously, I must be a good break dancer. Well, I was ok but not the best. So, I went to my local Blockbuster and rented Beat Street and I would rewind this scene over and over and practiced these moves for hours per day. I’m 53 now and I feel blessed that this was part of my youth. My strengths were the front flip and the hand spin. Lee, if you’re reading this we are from the same area. I was born and raised at 750 E163rd St Mckinly housing projects. Long live this era!
This scene is such an important piece of Hip Hop history for those of us who weren't born in NYC and not exposed to Hip Hop. This was my introduction to Hip Hop seeing it in the Theaters in '84. A lot of us in our 40s today are still Hip Hop heads stemming from this movie (Particularly this scene). We got exposed to Wild Style later on but for a lot of us this movie had the biggest impact.
Yes, this movie and Breakin'. I saw both in the theater, and I was overwhelmed as little kid. Me and my cousin tried to do all these dance moves.. between this and karate moves from The Last Dragon. 😂
This movie was basically the most commercial one out of all the movie releases next to Wild Style & Breakin'. Harry Belafonte was on a global tour promoting this movie, even went to Germany with the New York City Breakers. Breakin' was almost corny with the token white girl trying to be down but the dancing saved the movie. Hip Hop culture wise Wild Style was the best and most important one.
I get chill's EVERY time I watch this scene and I instantly become a 12 year old kid, watching it in awe all over again. The music: Breaker's Revenge - Arthur Baker The Breakin: Νew York City Breakers and Rock steady crew The outfits: Puma Savannah Windbreaks and pants. Puma hoodies, puffer jackets. Puma basket and Clyde sneakers with fat laces, etc etc. (Some of which I still own) …All stuff of legend, both then and still now. All of it was the epitome of Kool in 1984 and it hasn't lost a drop since.
The order of Break Dancers appearance in dance routine. Beat Street Breakers aka New York Ciy Breakers vs Bronx Rockers aka Rock Steady Crew. 1) Poweful Pexter 2) Baby Love 3) Mr Wave 4) Lee Kirkland 5) Prince Ken Swift 6) Action 7) Buck Four 8) Icey Ice 9) Devious Doze 10) Flip Rock 11) Crazy Legs 12) Lil Lep 13) Crazy Legs 14) Kid Nice 15) Kuriake 16) Glide Master 17) Crazy Legs
A ten year old me thought Rocksteady, when they walk in with their blue puffas and hoodies on, were the coolest dudes on the planet. It's still looks wicked today. As does Lee with his graffiti denim jacket, Cazal glasses and Kangol. Fresh as fuck! 👌🏻😊
This is a very Important lost art in Hip Hop History, I am a 50s generational old timer, I remember the famous group the Lockers, who perform on Soul train in the early 1970s. Hip Hop in the beginning was more artist, and had great DJ's back then. New York city is and will always be the original birth place of Hip Hop, that being said I am a music buff, and a Historian of Black American History to the fullest.
1st PEX went, Baby Love did not beat him, Mr. Wave went Doze taunt did not win, Lee went, but Swift took him out, Then Chino(Action) went and beat Swift, I do think BUCK KILLED it, to this day who can do what he did that fast, but Flip Rock Killed it, then Legs got beat by Lil Lep, and Kuriaki won his set, but only went once, I think NYC won this battle, I heard from Legs that they battle after the movie was over somewhere and RSC won that battle
@@stanforddickson6349 Mr. Wave’s whole schtick was top notch. Nobody could touch that quaking tick into that iLL standing body spin! Ken Swift’s uprock was nasty! He got the whole crew with that ding-dong freeze. Chino’s jump to backspin was crazy but Kuriaki waved it off like it wasn’t dope (it was). Crazy Legs’ little ankle move was dope. Flip rock was clean. Buck 4… no one from NYCB could top that turtle move. Kuriaki killed that windmill Crazy Legs did the iLL sneaker-off backspin which burned the whole NYCB crew. Dope battle…
My older brother took me to see this when we moved to the states in 80s. At 47 still one of my favourite hip hop films👍🏻 RSC defo won this battle. They had better moves, more creativeness..if that's a word..lol... great soundtrack as well. Thanks for posting this. Cheers👊🏼
I never thought New York City breakers got the credit they deserved.They had a brilliant body popper in MR WAVE & great B BOYS such as POWERFUL PEXSTER, LIL LEP, FLIP ROCK & ICEY ICE(who doesn’t appear in the battle).Just look at PEXSTERS windmill,then freeze,right in front of ROCK STEADY CREW...BRILLIANT.And look at ACTION jumping into a backspin,back up,then into a windmill.Then GLIDEMASTER’S handspin,into backspin, then up into a head spin.These were hard moves to pull off.It was sad that they lost GLIDEMASTER in a motorbike accident,and the crew split up after that.
The editing and dancing did not miss a beat. The quality and quantity of no-hands windmills (nutcrackers) was outstanding. Historically this was the height of original breakdancing in power floor moves. But then came the Thomas Flair and airflairs, raising the bar of breakdancing to Olympic-level gymnastics (not acrobats). The Thomas Flair on the ground is arguably harder than a pommel horse and definitively harder than on a mushroom.
Good times as a kid here in Chicago back then . Carrying cardboard sheets meeting at some buddy house to practice for a battle. Can’t forget the boom boxes everyone was carrying on there shoulders and if you were a upper class kid you had linoleum. 😂 fun times .
what a lot of people miss is that this scene is shot extremely well, very competent direction, from the build up of Lee being the scout, then following the two crews as the crowd part way, to the battle (3 camera setup?)... all the way up the girl with poof air sauntering off stage right at the end... amazing camera angles... would love to see the b-roll of this scene and the subway uprock battle... as well as the classroom scene that was cut from the movie...
There were tons of edits on this scene but yes, it was superb! The key is to look at Tracey and her friends during the battle. One of those girls that was wearing purple flips in and out of position on several occasions. You will notice how many edits they did with these guys moves. Even with crazy legs, they added about three extra swipes to his set. Glidemaster had his hand glide extended too and they edited in a different scene of him coming out of his backspin. Overall, they made a masterpiece especially when you consider how they kept it all in sync with the music.
@@gaffle7646 Great observation my friend. I've watched Beat Streat a million times since seeing it in the theater in 1984 at age 11. I've never noticed that before. Now I wanna go back and watch again to see the things you pointed out.
C'mon, I love this for its nostalgic reasons but today's bboying is on a whole nother level. Just for naming it "break dancing" you really do not know much about bboying and today's scene
You trippin. I bet you dont know a damn thing about the scene. Bboying was young when Beat Street was made, and mad respect to Rocksteady and NYC Breakers for influencing many of us who came after, but bboyin now is more refined and definitely in its adult stage. Its crazy the things ppl can do today, and I used to bboy in the late 90s to the late 2000s. And you probably dont even know that Crazy Legs and Ken Swift (they are battling in this movie part) are still a part of the bboy scene now.
Nah, today theres a lot of breakin and bboying and crazy sh1t they do, but they dont really "break dance" anymore. You dont see the same type of wild windmill styles, or footwork like they used to. Its all different now
Not really.. the red crew was the focus of the movie because Bobby was with that team so they had to come out Slightry on top as part of the movie. They gave the red crew more time to dance. The blue crew was as technical as they were in real life but the red was suppose to reign for the plot
This movie will ALWAYS BE THE BEST REPRESENTATION OF HOW IT WAS FOR US BACK THEN JUST WANTING TO BE US AND DANCE AWAY. And the battles were all year! Even in the winter!!!
I remember when beat street came out all those years ago and just like everywhere else here in the UK hip hop, breakdancing and graffiti was everything to us. What a time to be a teenager going from this to house to the entire dance music revolution, amazing times from the 80s to the 90s.
Thank you for bringing back the memories in HD! I remember watching this at the local theater and when it was over a huge crowd went to the quad area and had a battle. no fight, no camera phones, no selfies everyone was all into focusing on what was happening. Best time era for a kid.
This shit was so hot when it came out. Just like shockwave through my middle class mostly white neighborhood lol.i could not stop rewinding this so i can get the moves down. I could never crabwalk though haha. Anyways the nostalgia in this is just through roof.
This major big part of history that inspired & had a big influence celebrity's like Michael Jackson etc.. its not just and art form or street performance its a B-boys way of communication not much of the world know or might not know in the NYC in the hoods 1 B-boy once said that pop n locking etc was developed for peace instead of gang violence so if am not mistaken in certain areas there was a "truth's" and then bang, history was born, everyone who participated in this scene and the best at what they have accomplished rather its pop'n, locking, skittling, up'rocking they paved the way for future B-boys & B-gals 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍❤️❤️ this dance form will never die it justs keeps getting better with todays B-boys & of course B-gals

Hispanics and Blacks when life gave them the streets, they made the streets beautiful!!!! A bond like no other!
Yes ❤
MAN1 what the fuck you said.
We killed it together!
We could not afford musical instruments, so we took a turntable a made it into one. Innovation through genius!
Word
cant lie, the nostalgia brings tears to the eyes
80’s is and will always be the greatest generation from Music to Fashion. No contest!
Fashion??Neon clothes??No thank you🤮Bad big hair rock bands??🤮The 80s sucked!!!
This is before hip-hop became commercial this was a way of life for us back in the 80s
I get a bit emotional when I see this. It's so raw and there's so much talent both musically, acting and dancing. The whole scene is amazing. I wish I was old enough to have seen things like this in person at the height of breakdancing.
Real hip hop, recognize son
An era when dancing solved problems not guns 👌
The B Boy stance before the battle was dope.
That's how they knew you meant Business!!!
Thanx for great 80s movies .
For me it’s when you see those two crews walking up to battle. They’re walking with a purpose, like serious as a heart attack. Then that standoff and the way the whole crowd clears out because they know it’s about get real. Then both crews do the nastiest breakin ever seen. This whole part is too badass
The only blue vs. red I care to see anymore.
This dance battle scene is the best cinematic dance battle ever....the fuckin intro..."Bronx Rockers, Gino! Lep! c'mon!"..."Yo there's Beat Street let's serve 'em" that's how you set a battle off.
Actual Facts!!! #BAR 🗽

The very first guy danced in my classroom. PS 114 BX Ms Figaroa. New York City Breakers
I remember growing up in those days … we didn’t solve problems by fighting or shooting each other but challenging in many different ways break dancing , rapping , graffiti , DJ etc etc things change now but I would never forget that era will always be in my heart
"There's Beat street. Lets serve em"
Classic line in hip hop history
Those were the days!
SO GLAD I LIVED DURING THIS TIME. I WAS 12 WHEN THIS MOVIE WAS RELEASED.
Red Team killed it
They are the New York City Breakers.
You know how good this is? I’m from the BX and we moved to PR in the 80s when I was a teenager.

Do you happen to know lil Lep moves I’ve been trying to get them name of his moves
FREESTYLE CHAMP
Still one of the best 80s movies ever
This will never get old.
I was sixteen years old when I first saw this! 👌😚
They should lock this movie in a time capsule! 🇺🇸
Never late 1970s and the 1980s
Timesless, music will liver for ever
Watching this never gets old for me! Remember when I first saw it in the theater!
This scene is such an important piece of Hip Hop history for those of us who weren't born in NYC and not exposed to Hip Hop. This was my introduction to Hip Hop seeing it in the Theaters in '84.

I won a prize and it was to hang out and practice with the rock steady crew everyone thinks crazy legs was the best cariakie.was the best
Yes, this movie and Breakin'. I saw both in the theater, and I was overwhelmed as little kid. Me and my cousin tried to do all these dance moves.. between this and karate moves from The Last Dragon. 😂
Wild Style was released before
It was a wonderful era before it got hijacked bye gangster rap
This movie was basically the most commercial one out of all the movie releases next to Wild Style & Breakin'.

B-Boy Kuriaki was so dope, i wish there was more footage of him
Word
0:57 the way Bronx Rockers (Rock Steady Crew) walks through the crowd on the dancefloor is legendary
I get chill's EVERY time I watch this scene and I instantly become a 12 year old kid, watching it in awe all over again.
The music: Breaker's Revenge - Arthur Baker
The Breakin: Νew York City Breakers and Rock steady crew
The outfits: Puma Savannah Windbreaks and pants. Puma hoodies, puffer jackets. Puma basket and Clyde sneakers with fat laces, etc etc. (Some of which I still own)

Nada me da tanta saudade como ver break... pena que a gente envelhece mas nossa juventude foi sensacional..
This was the s,,,t in the 80 s im 57 now 2024 life was good
Classic movie
Damn I miss those days
Shadows of the night still hits so hard🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lisa Fisher (Xena) - Only Love
Man I miss the 80's !!!
When they first announced that breakdancing would be part of the Olympics, this is what I imagined.. I was way off lol
Rock Steady Crew / Kuriaki Power
Thanks to Harry Belafonte for bringing this to the big screen for the first time!
I remember being a kid and my pops pulling me to the living room to watch this scene on the TV. Glad he showed me gems like these!
Great movie great Sound.,.. 👍
This was our preferred break dance film lol the Rock steady crew and adj jazzy jay 😉 the originators of Hip hop lol
Tbh this is possibly the best ever B Boy battle committed to film. Even now its hard to beat.
A ten year old me thought Rocksteady, when they walk in with their blue puffas and hoodies on, were the coolest dudes on the planet. It's still looks wicked today.
As does Lee with his graffiti denim jacket, Cazal glasses and Kangol.
Fresh as fuck! 👌🏻😊
Puma street also lol,,Dope
me too!! They were the toughest dudes I'd ever seen.
Lee did rock the fly gear for that era…
Which was really The New York City Breakers Vs The Rock Steady Crew …❤❤❤ I intro to hiphop as a baby. I’m in 30s and still watch this.
BACK IN THE DAY THE MOVES NAW WWWWWWWWHHHHHHAAAAATTTT
Nothing quite like the 80's. Thanks for posting!
Proper b boys from the bronx
L'époque où il y avait du RESPECT et où les gens savaient danser sur de la très bonne musique et chansons!
I had it even 4+4 even!!!
Puma. Best example of product placement in a movie that made its name synonymous with breakdancing.
This is a very Important lost art in Hip Hop History, I am a 50s generational old timer, I remember the famous group the Lockers, who perform on Soul train in the early 1970s.

DAMN, THOSE WERE THE DAYS....
The story behind the Rock Steady Crew is heartbreaking
Smashed rock steady so easy with crazy legs
Name of first song

@@stanforddickson6349 Action took out all of RSC with that "no-hands to the floor back spin, then back up on this feet" move...

Mr. Wave’s whole schtick was top notch. Nobody could touch that quaking tick into that iLL standing body spin!
Ken Swift’s uprock was nasty! He got the whole crew with that ding-dong freeze.

Chino moves were clean
I disagree. They got tons of credit! They performed in front of the president, Ronald Reagan, twice!
Agreed, Chino did a quick backspin directly from the up position...
The editing and dancing did not miss a beat. The quality and quantity of no-hands windmills (nutcrackers) was outstanding. Historically this was the height of original breakdancing in power floor moves. But then came the Thomas Flair and airflairs, raising the bar of breakdancing to Olympic-level gymnastics (not acrobats). The Thomas Flair on the ground is arguably harder than a pommel horse and definitively harder than on a mushroom.
Now this is battle dancing, not that 'you got served' stuff
Illest hip hop movie scene ever..
Nah I’m building a time machine unless there is already one
Now this is culture!! Love this movie so much!
LOL 0:46 Lee pointed at Pex, but he was right next to him.
LoL
These guys were hyping up their peeps. Chemistry
I had so much fun at The Roxy in the late 90’s, early 2000’s. Miss this legendary place so much.😢😢😢 This scene is iconic.❤❤❤
Good times as a kid here in Chicago back then . Carrying cardboard sheets meeting at some buddy house to practice for a battle. Can’t forget the boom boxes everyone was carrying on there shoulders and if you were a upper class kid you had linoleum. 😂 fun times .
Classic movie Jazzy Jay , Legend
que de bons souvenirs 1984 , j'avais 16 ans
As a former New Yorker, and old ass amateur rapper lol - it saddens me our beefs can no longer be settled with a backspin 💯🫶❤️
what a lot of people miss is that this scene is shot extremely well, very competent direction, from the build up of Lee being the scout, then following the two crews as the crowd part way, to the battle (3 camera setup?)... all the way up the girl with poof air sauntering off stage right at the end... amazing camera angles... would love to see the b-roll of this scene and the subway uprock battle... as well as the classroom scene that was cut from the movie...
There were tons of edits on this scene but yes, it was superb! The key is to look at Tracey and her friends during the battle. One of those girls that was wearing purple flips in and out of position on several occasions. You will notice how many edits they did with these guys moves. Even with crazy legs, they added about three extra swipes to his set. Glidemaster had his hand glide extended too and they edited in a different scene of him coming out of his backspin.
Overall, they made a masterpiece especially when you consider how they kept it all in sync with the music.
Love the passion for film. Great heignsight.
@@gaffle7646 Great observation my friend. I've watched Beat Streat a million times since seeing it in the theater in 1984 at age 11. I've never noticed that before. Now I wanna go back and watch again to see the things you pointed out.
I like how he puts on shades indoors to see better. …
It's almost weird seeing this so clear and crisp. I own the VHS. Incredible job on the remaster.
Thanks Veeo Beats!
Agreed!!
This still beats today's break dancing it's just the whole vibe about it

It's not called "Breakdancing " which is a media term , it's called Rockin', B-boyin' or Breakin'.
@@Mr-Keyeswe in the south called it Breakin
The taking off the shoes didn't save them. Team Red did more to pull off the win!🤸🏿♂️
The greatest scene in cinema history... "They're gonna battle man!"
Mr Wavy (second dude in red) killed that shit.
What a buzz!!!👊
Fresh.
NYC Breakers crushed RockSteady, their moves were more pronounced and elegant, very clean, Pex , Chino and Flip's routine was flawless....
Not really.. the red crew was the focus of the movie because Bobby was with that team so they had to come out Slightry on top as part of the movie. They gave the red crew more time to dance. The blue crew was as technical as they were in real life but the red was suppose to reign for the plot
Plus the track suits look more seamless than jeans and they had more people dancing.
This movie will ALWAYS BE THE BEST REPRESENTATION OF HOW IT WAS FOR US BACK THEN JUST WANTING TO BE US AND DANCE AWAY. And the battles were all year! Even in the winter!!!
Hip-hop culture in one of its most authentic and purist forms ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hey you the rock steady crew show what ya can do make a break make a move 👌🙌🕺
real culture
One of the best battles ever on a movie saw it when I was breaking in 84
Classic scene.. Reds got dat.. but it was close 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember when beat street came out all those years ago and just like everywhere else here in the UK hip hop, breakdancing and graffiti was everything to us. What a time to be a teenager going from this to house to the entire dance music revolution, amazing times from the 80s to the 90s.
It's called Breakin to real B Boys. Commercial people say breakdancing.

Had me fired up bacc in the day.
whenever i hear breakers revenge somewhere,i automatically nod my head and feel the desire to rock the floor 😅 it's like a journey back in the days.
Sad to see Buck and Kuriaki in the beginning.😢
This major big part of history that inspired & had a big influence celebrity's like Michael Jackson etc.. its not just and art form or street performance its a B-boys way of communication not much of the world know or might not know in the NYC in the hoods 1 B-boy once said that pop n locking etc was developed for peace instead of gang violence so if am not mistaken in certain areas there was a "truth's" and then bang, history was born, everyone who participated in this scene and the best at what they have accomplished rather its pop'n, locking, skittling, up'rocking they paved the way for future B-boys & B-gals 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍❤️❤️ this dance form will never die it justs keeps getting better with todays B-boys & of course B-gals
I'll never stop loving this scene (or the movie soundtrack)
The good ole' days... Best years to date... New school vs. Old school... I'll stick to Old school... Keep the beats... !!!
I watch this clip every year just for the feels.
