When we saw this scene at the movie theater, we all jumped out of our seats with excitement! This was the coolest shit goin down at the time! I get the same feelings 35 years later! Just bad ass! Rock Steady Crew!!
I was 4 years old when this came out and I watched this shit 100000s of times to master these moves. Greatest BBoy movie Ever! "Let's serve 'em'' is classic.
The best ever battel scene. My daughter was a dance extra in Beat Street. The Rock Steady Crew and some of the NYC Breakers hung out in my house. I have tons of pictures of them dancing in my house and in clubs. Unforgettable times
Songs played: Afrika Bambaataa & The Soul Sonic Force - Frantic Situation Xena - Only Love (Shadows) - i personally met her months ago Arthur Baker - Breakers Revenge
these guys are legends of breakdance, bboy george and niazi the turk... if anyone knows melbourne breakers then add to my history of the 80's high school breakers. flinders street break scene in 83......inspirational.
I agree. I get the feeling that "Breakin'" was Hollywood's attempt to make a "Saturday Night Fever" for hip-hop. Thankfully, they failed, and hip-hop didn't meet the same fate as disco: oversaturation way too soon.
@@michaelkennedy5126 yeah it was ...i moved to California back in 1986 and i cant tell you how many of them cat's out there thought turbo could beat mr. wave in a popping contest ..they obviously didnt see this scene..
still love this film as much as when i first saw it in 83. "whats the big deal about eatin oatmeal,when all i feel is tired for real, my tongue too quick,my rap too slick, my gallant talent like a magic trick" "eat your eggs before i break your legs" \o/
break is the largest film I've seen in my life. Excellent music and dancers. Thanks to the film makers to get a photographic record of this era. Africa Bambaataa, Rock Steady Crew, New York City Breakers, Grand Master Flash live legends. This movie is part of a break in history. Hip Hop Break Dance but I live in the greatest ....

This has to be the most complete scene of the infamous Roxy battle between the NYC Breakers and Rock Steady Crew. Up until this video, we had only seen pieces of this battle scene. Like this video because it is a rare piece of footage and American heritage history.
I love Beat. Street with all my heart the movie is amazing I watch the movie all the time in the morning when I get ready to go to work and I love everyone who is in the movie the break dance at Roxy was amazing
We used to have breakdancing contests in our neighborhood back in the early 80's. No cellphones or distractions. Interacting & having fun without drink or drugs.
When the crowd shouted “Crazy legs”...the fact that it’s the same dude from our favorite video game Def Jam FFNY. That’s wild 🤯. He’s the one that took off his shoes in the end of the battle.
MY ALLLL TIME FAVORITE IS HOW THEY ALL MARCHED IN ON BEAT STREET NYC. FLOOR MASTERS N HOW THE BATTLE SHUTS DOWN THE WHOLE DSNCE FLOOR N NO ONE LEAVES THEY STAND BACK N WATCHED...DOPE💖
I love how they're like the Bloods and Crips of the dance floor in either red or blue. Great flick though. This is the first soundtrack I ever owned on tape as a kid. Can still recite the Beat Street Breakdown...Melle Mel, kids!
Shout out 2 Darrius n Darrell the Twinz of Wilmington, Delware. They loved this movie from kids all the way 2 their adulthood. Rest n Paradise Twinz. Y'all r sorely missed although I know y'all r 2gether now!!!!🙏🙏🙏😥😥😥
This brings chills!! we used to battle in Hollywood all the time with boogalo shrimp and poping taco way back. A few on whittier blvd but mostly Hollywood. Nike supreme Team!! brings back memories!! 2021 dec.
This was a time before B-boy went commercial. Before sponsors and people B-Boy for money. Where acknowledgement of skill was your reward. There wouldn't be New school B-Boy if it wasn't for this film, Breakin 1&2, and all the old school films before this generation . #Facts
Me: Hi, Mom Mom: Boy, where you’ve been? Me: At the club Mom: What were you doing at the club? Me: Dancing. Mom: Boy, get outta here. You serious?😂😂😂 Me: Yep! Mom: that’s good at least you’d a good time.
@@sentry9834 Rocksteady already served NYC Breakers at the Lincoln center in 81! And at the Negril in 82! Only difference? They really got served and not just in a movie!
I like how Breakers Revenge doesn't really have song structure. No real "hook". It just goes on various directions. The only consistency is that bass line and it's over all dopeness. Reminds me of Man Parrish' song Hip Hop Be Bops joint in that regard
Mister Keyes I was just about to comment ,the same,back in the day ,”just begun”,”turn it loose”were the 2 heavy hitters in breaking battles,that’s when crews would really pop off.James Brown turn it loose ,would usually be for Brooklyn “style” Rocking!!
Saw this at the ABC theatre in Leeds when it came out, without a doubt, the most authentic break dance movie ever made, especially this battle, had many a battle at the Ritzy like this!
So another resident showed me a video of him popping and we used this video as the music. TELL ME WHY EVERYTHING SYNCED UP PERFECT! I’m not gonna say his age, but whoa! That just totally changed my life!
When life was good and you could live it without having to worrying about offending anyone or them offending you we all just lived life and enjoyed it. No damn BS drama
just remember that night at the roxy club i was there rock steady crew only had 6 members and one was a girl baby love and NYC breakers had 8 crew members if mr freeze and wiggles was there for rock steady crew they would of won hands down even tho there both excellent breakers with diffrent syles RIP to kurika buck 4 and glide much love respect to all god bless .
Cary Marshall Felton absolutely not right. The history of hip hop is well documented and dates back to specific black groups and black individuals who invented it in the South Bronx.
Puerto Ricans were in the South Bronx along with Black-Americans(and Caribbean blacks) when hip hop started. So both groups played a role in the development of hip hop. Black-Americans get more focus because Blacks make up the majority of those rapping which is the biggest element of Hip Hop. The other elements of breaking and graffiti is where Puerto Ricans were more concentrated.These elements aren't as big as rap financially so those doing them may not become as well known as those rapping.
I always thought the nyc breakers were the guys in red and rock steady was in blue. I was watching a vid that said it was rock steady and it was the guys in red.
Jeremy Allen you got it my brother, remember crazy legs is rock steady Zulu, and the last dude that took out he's sneakers at the end was crazy legs in blue.
