Great Movie. In fact i learned how to dance while watching this movie. Kind of like Patrick Dempsey in “Can’t buy me Love” when he learned the African ant eater ritual! except better.

okay- she wasn’t wearing a sweatband in this clip, but I would bet a week of washing dishes (for you Jay Jay) that she wears them at another point in the movie. sorry.

Jay-
I am embarrassed to admit that I immediately remembered seeing this, and not because of the horrific Van Damme dancing, but because I spotted the chick in the horrible half-shirt-and-thong-over-the-tights combo, rockin the sweatband. She is only in the clip for a split second, max two, and I instantly remembered watching this movie. MANY TIMES. Because I am fairly sure you were obsessed with it. You’re welcome. I am pretty sure it is Breakin’ also. The first one.
Love to you and Holly,
Your pop culture geek sister.

Jason,

I love you for posting this!!!!!! I watched both Breakin’ and Breakin 2 last fall. Back in the days of Switchcomb Regan I listened to the soundtrack of Breakin’ on my walkman.

My favorite line from Breakin’ was when 0-zone was speaking about the surprise breaker chick who destroyed Turbo and him on the dance floor. He says with dead seriousness, “She was good.” Kelly steps up and replies with conviction, “I’m better.” The acting was atrocious. If you don’t remember this part, you need to watch it.

I love how you said you watched the Van Damme clip in “horror/amazement”. That captures it exactly. I might add the words “embarrassing glee”.

Breakin’ (1984)

That movie changed my life. I had plenty of cardboard and a gold “ghettoblaster”. Sweet clip…

I’ve gotten one “almost” right answer, and to keep it interesting, I’m holding it until a few more people have a chance to guess. But so he gets the recognition, Tom Peil answered first, and is really really close.

Does knowing it mean you’re admitting to have watched the movie? The whole thing?

I haven’t a clue, but it’s solidly late 80s or early 90s. I could check IMDb, but wouldn’t that be cheating?
