Exactly....not raygun😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I was telling my wife about Beat street and breaking 1 and 2. I loved these movies as a kid. I wore the parachute zipper pants and the side zip pants back in the day, thought I was so cool 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂!!!!
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.
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
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!
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.
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…
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
And in my opinion it's all over with powerful Pex..first move..best windmills...( along with kuriaki who doesn't use his head which is harder to do NYC easily win this battle
Classic Battle Scene!!! I remember this back when I was growing up.I love the Rock Steady Crew. But I have to admit that although they got the last move on the dance floor, Beat Street actually dominated. But I think Beat Street was really the New York City Breakers.
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.
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.
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.
Im an Old School BBOY and i met this dope fresh Crew Members and for many years we kept contact my crew is CHICAGO WINDY CITY BREAKERS i go bye OLD SCHOOL RAY RAY aka BBOY PHAZE DOZ thank you all for the love and support you have for my friends Amen and God bless Always 🙏🙏🙏
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.
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.
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.
@@gaffle-411 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.
Come on Beatstreet lol they forgot about Crazy Legs. dang. Still got this movie on vhs and the fat boy movie and wild style. What's the kids name from Bronx Rockers who died? Mariagi? July 2023
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
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 what I was expecting to see at the Olympics
Hiro 10 was even Better..his Power moves was next level. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Paris olympics was nowhere near this level. Rock Steady Crew & NYC Breakers old skool break talent, RESPECT!
Id of just loved this tune at Olympics
Word!!!
@@RostyForsythexplain how anyone from either crew you see in this movie could compete with a top bboy today in 2024
An era when dancing solved problems not guns 👌
We danced went home and practiced
Kuriyaki elevating while doing the windmill is next level.
Who else is here from Olympics (to see REAL breakers)?
Me…. And can’t believe no one sat down that Australian chick to watch this film and at least learn one move… WTF
😂
MEEEE!!!!!

Actual Facts!!! #BAR 🗽
I won a prize for breaking in early 80 and got to dance with them great time
You’re absolutely right about everything except he said “Chino! Pex! c’mon!”
Chino
man i get chills every time I see that face off...it was filmed perfectly!
When they first announced that breakdancing would be part of the Olympics, this is what I imagined.. I was way off lol
🐰🐇🐰🐇we know who this is

Hispanics and Blacks when life gave them the streets, they made the streets beautiful!!!! A bond like no other!
Yes ❤

We killed it together!
We could not afford musical instruments, so we took a turntable a made it into one. Innovation through genius!

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
Never. Ever.
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!!!
Love it or hate it, 80's style always made a bold statement that was uniquely it's own. It was an amazing time.
Real hip hop, recognize son
This is before hip-hop became commercial this was a way of life for us back in the 80s
miss those times ... 😢 ..
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.
If you're young enough, make your own scene💙

Australian Olympics never seen this 😆😆
The B Boy stance before the battle was dope.
That's how they knew you meant Business!!!
Tbh this is possibly the best ever B Boy battle committed to film. Even now its hard to beat.
Rock Steady Crew / Kuriaki Power
It's almost weird seeing this so clear and crisp. I own the VHS. Incredible job on the remaster.
Thanks Veeo Beats!
Agreed!!
I came up in this era we battle not kill ❤❤❤❤❤
Nothing quite like the 80's. Thanks for posting!
I used to do the footwork and backspin when I was younger
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!"
HipHop at pure and rawest

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

Red Team killed it
They are the New York City Breakers.

One of the best battles ever on a movie saw it when I was breaking in 84
SO GLAD I LIVED DURING THIS TIME. I WAS 12 WHEN THIS MOVIE WAS RELEASED.
Same. I was 11. Good times! 👍
How we settled beef’s

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...
Wow unfortunately I can't do this anymore
LOVE IT !!!!....And Never Gets Old...IT'S TIMELESS !!!!
Man I miss the 80's !!!

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.
Thanks to Harry Belafonte for bringing this to the big screen for the first time!

Looks amazing!!!I WILL BE A BGIRL FOREVER!❤❤❤

A Timeless Complete Masterclass of Breakdancing!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
Come on Beatstreet lol they forgot about Crazy Legs. dang. Still got this movie on vhs and the fat boy movie and wild style. What's the kids name from Bronx Rockers who died? Mariagi? July 2023
I want to see this film in the theater again.
Beat street won 5-4gʻgood little battle!!!
I remember we used to watch this before every crew battle, always hypes us up
Back then no one wanted to fight just a dance battle to sort the drama....only kidding
I had to come in here after watching that awful show from the Paris Olympics.
"There's Beat street. Lets serve em"
Classic line in hip hop history
This was our preferred break dance film lol the Rock steady crew and adj jazzy jay 😉 the originators of Hip hop lol
0:57 the way Bronx Rockers (Rock Steady Crew) walks through the crowd on the dancefloor is legendary
Beat street really captured the hip hop culture over the breakin movie from L.A
I remember this. I was 11 years old! Great times! 😊
Now this is battle dancing, not that 'you got served' stuff
This is what true hip hop and dancing is about. Those are real turntables not computers with lil cds.
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.
Puma. Best example of product placement in a movie that made its name synonymous with breakdancing.
Shadows of the night still hits so hard🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Too bad i skipped the 80s i was born in '93 my dad and mom always talk and reminiscing the good times they had in the 80s
It was ok🤷🏽♂️
My life 1984 2024
The best
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…
Better than what we got in the 2024 Olympics and this is over 30 years ago.
40+ years later and these olympians couldnt stand a chance
such a good movie.
I still wanna see the extension of this battle that they cut out
Tons of edits in this battle. They’re easy to spot after you’ve watched it a couple hundred times. 😀
