Bu film haqqında

Widely considered the most influential hip-hop movie of all time, this "gritty, streetwise musical" (LA Herald-Examiner) features a who's who of the movement's early stars Kool DJ Herc, Kool Moe Dee, Doug E. Fresh, Afrika Bambaataa and Melle Melas well as the famous Rocky Steady Crew vs. New York City Breakers battle at the Roxy. Uniting the four elements of hip-hop break dancing, DJ-ing, MC-ing and graffiti into an unforgettable experience, Beat Street is a true classic, packed with sharp lyrics, powerful moves and the flashiest dance sets the screen has ever seen! When rapper-DJ Kenny (Guy Davis) meets cultured jazz artist Tracy (Rae Dawn Chong), he is so inspired by her dedication that he vows to use his talents to escape the ghetto. But when his friend, a gifted graffiti artist, is killed in a tragic accident, Kenny comes face to face with the high price of artistic passion.

This Movie shows the beginning of it all!!! Breakdancing at its best,When crews battled with there moves instead of killing and shooting, also it shows the struggle that the kids went through and how Breakdancing was a way out instead of drugs and negative impact on the youth in the Big cities, and the small cities for that matter,It also deals with street art\Graffiti artists and the things they went through with rival artists.Greatest Movie of its time,along with the BREAKIN' Movies.

This is by far the best break dancing, music/rap, grafitti, as close to reality at the time & jump started everythig ... first saw this when I lived in W.Germany (army brat) & every place we moved everyone I knew always talked about how good this movie was. I give it a 10 out of 5

I was born in 1988, raised throughout the 90's. My mother always watched movies from the 80's & played music too from that time. 80's is a special decade, 90's was inspired by it.
