Breakin' Filming Locations Then And Now - 1984 - 80slife

[@gavinrabinowitz1255]

One of my favourite childhood films. Even at 47 years old now I still watch it on a regular basis .Really awesome video

[@80sLife]

Thank you!

[@johnniewalker23]

You and me both!

[@neilharrison2471]

Likewise

[@CarloWilburn-w9z]

There you go!!!

[@astrojazzman]

So fresh!!! 80s 4 life!!! RIP 2 Adolfo "Shabba-Doo" Quinones 🙏

[@jamesstarks3676]

What an amazing labor of love is this video. You faithfully recreated the location sets of a most iconic and underrated in important film. This was a walk into time and made me wonder with amazement. They had no idea how significant this movie would become for the entire world. Breaking is going to now be an Olympic sport and we can thank this movie for making it a cultural relevant artistry. Thanks for the memories.

[@davidgoodman6924]

Saw Breakin in the theater when it came out, we were all trying to do the moves in the lobby of the theater after we watched it...lol

[@ronthatus]

We were dancing in the aisles lol

[@finishin.my.coffee8780]

I used to see kids breakdancing at the mall in the 80s. It went on for months. After a while, there'd be fights and cops were getting called more frequently. That put an end to it.

[@80sLife]

Awesome!

[@neilharrison2471]

With you on that 😁

[@maxxt3916]

Great story! Thank for sharing.

[@BMSLou]

Saw Breakin’ 4 times in - 1 theater in 1 day. Great time and memories. Always fun watching the breakin battles from movie goers at the movies end as everyone exited. LOL.

[@80sLife]

Awesome!

[@BigBikeBMX]

I remember paying $90 bucks to buy the Breakin VHS tape. Took an entire summer to save up for it. Loved that flick! Thanks for the episode!

[@80sLife]

Isn't crazy how much VHS cost back then. Thank you for watching!

[@williamzoom]

I have never been able to sweep the floor without thinking of Turbo & the broom, it just cracks me up every single time!

[@lrob6971]

Same

[@juicev25]

How many times did you try it? I’m probably around a million.

[@alfonsoruiz3011]

Great research! I’m a location scout and would have had a hard time finding these on my own. You really must be a true fan of the movie. Again, great work.

[@80sLife]

Thank you so much!

[@petethegreek1736]

Man your channel will continue to grow because we all long for the 80s ... what a magical time, movies & music . This was awesome 👍 thanks pal

[@80sLife]

Thank you so much!

[@GregPeters1]

Firstly, RIP Shabba Doo 😢........You've got the coolest channel! 80s ROCK(ed)

[@80sLife]

Thank you so much

[@marielouiselisberg7810]

My dad let me see the movie 1 and 2, when i was young i love it, the 80s must be the best decade. Begin of 2021 we hear ozone passed away, RIP Adolfo Gutierrez Quiñones First thing we did see the first and second movie this time with dutch subtiteles for my kids. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@80sLife]

Awesome, thank you for watching

[@satwindersingh2370]

I saw this movie in 1984 when I was 15 yrs old and now I'm 53, but it's been flowing like blood in my veins till now. First time we saw it on a rented Video Cassette Player sharing money within friends for the rent. Thanks to the internet since it is within our reach now, and we can watch it any number of times and we never feel bored watching it again and again. Every time we watch it, it takes back us to our childhood memories. Love the wonderful cast of the movie viz Shabba doo, Lucinda Dickey and specially Michael Bogaloo Shrimp (Turbo) the No.1 Hip-hop and Breakdancers. The only sad thing and very heart breaking news was the recent death of Shabba doo in Dec 2020. May his soul RIP. Thanks for putting the hardwork for showing the Locations in the movie in this Video at that time and now.

[@neilharrison2471]

I lived the same teenage life as you bro watched & loved this movie ay the cinema also rented & it was a magical time.

[@neilharrison2471]

Great comment.

[@spunkhead]

I can only imagine...you're phenomenal...

[@wallacehill4610]

Maaaaaaan I swear your videos take me 🔙 to my Childhood. Good ole days 💪🏾❤️💪🏾💯💯💯

[@yaknow11]

Thank you for this. I came up as a teenage breaker dancer in this era and it's still and always will be close to my heart. Watching scenes still give me goosebumps. I love knowledge of the film locations. I've recognized the Electric Boogaloo under bridge dance scene location in tv shows like "Snow Fall' and "Swat" as well as a car commercial. The 80's breakdancing era was magic. I knew then what is a fact now. Breaking, popping, waving and locking was too epic an artform to ever die. However, that trash in the Olympics was a gentrified shell of the real deal .

[@kevinreyes4523]

I never knew that Radiotron ever existed there in my old neighborhood. I used to live down the street and walk by that strip mall all the time.

[@Mattvz-Editz]

I love your video's, the 80's decade if i could turn back time then it's the 80s for me, RIP Adolfo and Bruno

[@80sLife]

Thank you so much. And I agree

[@seanyboyoc]

Thanks so much for posting. I was obsessed with Breakin as a teen, only saw the second a few times. Saw both on the big screen again last week and the memories were all flooding back. This must have taken you a while to put together. Awesome content. ❤😊

[@retroweirdo5818]

In my apartment building we had a little breakin" crew and we would go to the Panorama City Mall and dance. I ran into Special K at a car wash in Thousand Oaks in '98. I talked with her a bit while we were waiting for our cars. She was real nice and still looked fantastic. Great video! Looking forward to the next one!

[@80sLife]

That's awesome. Thank you

[@WTeixeira1969]

What trip man. What trip! Thanks for review my adolescence. RIP Ozone! 🙏

[@sole__doubt]

I could never get through any of these movies but the imagery, the music, and of course the dancing are just so awesome I cant help but love it still.

[@venvon6433]

I love this channel!!! Just discovered it and I can’t stop watching and rewatching. I love looking for all the landmarks and how well they match up to the filmed scenes. Great job man. Looking forward to future vids!

[@80sLife]

Thank you so much. That really means a lot to me.

[@MrJd74100]

Quality channel love breakin i still watch it now and then 40 years old still a classic

[@nemosthebandit]

Awesome video. Thanks for this one. RIP Shabbadoo aka Ozone, you are truly missed.

[@80sLife]

Thank you for watching

[@gregorygriffin6341]

FOR ANYONE INTERESTED: Please check out the 1983 doc "BREAKIN' N' ENTERIN'" (it exists on YT). The film shows not only the infancy of West Coast Hip-Hop, but raw footage of material for this classic film. Almost all of the characters are in it.

[@verahall6498]

I saw it and it's absolutely wonderful

[@gregorygriffin6341]

@@verahall6498 Glad you dig it! ☮️✌️

[@spunkhead]

I watched it a few nights ago...phenomenal doc

[@juzz27]

1:30 So funny to see Jean-Claude Van Damme dancing in spandex. 🕺

And over doing it to get as much notice as possible. 🤣

Thank you bro. Thats my childhood right there. Thank you

[@80sLife]

My pleasure. Thank you for watching

[@bboyloosegoose]

Great vid! Thank you so much! I love that you bring out the significance of the Radiotron. Everyone in hip hop knows that spot. The 1996 battle between Renegades and Style Elements is often considered one of the top 10 most important battles in history.

[@johnniewalker23]

What an amazing job! Thanks for doing this. I loved this movie growing up and still do!

[@tomsimon1974]

great movies, pure nostalgia when i watch these and listen to the soundtracks

Who would thumbs down this...this took effort...mad respect bro

[@80sLife]

I really appreciate that. Thank you

[@bubber25]

i remember when this movie came out. i was 11 or 12 and it was all the rage. my neighbor about my same age said he watched it every day. If you are old school 80s you remember swatch watches and big wide shoe laces with many colors...it was kind of a hunt to find the coolest shoe laces to put in your sneakers.

[@thewelfarian2721]

I love this channel, it's all movies I grew up on like this one.

[@80sLife]

Thank you so much

[@RFJersey]

Your channel just keeps getting better.

My favorite movie of all time I still watch it at least twice a year.seen it in movie theater at least 12 times when I was a kid .

[@dimviesel]

One of the coolest Dads ever! I hope your son appreciates you😊

Thank you so much for that, I really appreciate that. And I hope he does too.

I didn't know they made the Kelly, Turbo, And Ozone action figures so I had to look it up and I just ordered them. Thanks for taking me back to my teen b-boy years.

[@bobbog83]

Another Classic! I loved Breakin 1&2 growing up as a kid. Good job on finding the locations👏

[@80sLife]

Thank you

[@RyuHazaki]

Great video! As a kid growing up in the country I always wanted to visit where the movie was filmed. Thank you for making that a reality👏👏👏👏👏

This was amazing, some of the locations you went to gave me goosebumps.

[@madamepokemontrainer9246]

Cool video man~! My father and his crew used to go to the Raidiotron every Friday and Saturday night back in the 80s. He still has some dance moves left to this day! He always tells me “There was no other place like that!” 😂👍😎

[@mamadee1971]

Thank you for taking me down memory lane! 😁🥰

[@thepawll]

Really been loving your videos! Love that you insert the addresses and not just describe where you’re at. Thank you!

[@80sLife]

Thank you so much! I know that's what I always wanted out of location videos, so...

[@larrya2344]

Don’t forget “Breakin’ Two Electric Boogaloo” I remember having cardboard all over the garage - I made my dad take me to see “Breakin” at least twice - Thx for making me smile - Cheers!!

Don't go away 😉

In 1984 I was a Sophomore in highschool went to visit Venice Beaxh many times & recently came back to find the exact location were that dance scene was but the row of palm trees are not visible...thank you, 80's rock baby 🤘

[@Trump-The-GREATEST]

I treasure the moments as a kid kicking it inside Radiotron as inlived just about 2 blocks away in the early 80s and watching with my bare eyes all these greatness busting breakdance battles with the locals and of course Ice-T and would've have known the guy would become what he is now! All thank to this historic movie!

[@whouse7]

Great video my brother!!! Wow, everyone looked so good, girls were girls, no racial tension. I'm going to rent it again tonight. Great job!!

This is absolutely wonderful, thank you for posting and sharing, sincerely do miss Adolfo Shabba-Doo Quinones AKA Ozone so very very much may he forever rest in peace

[@80sLife]

Thank you!

[@zeikerd]

man, that movie really made an impact in my life. I was 13 or 14 when it came out and I am still doing graffiti. I am 48 now. Oh, I am Dutch btw. Not that it matters but just to point out the influence of this movie, together with beat Street and Style wars on the world.

[@80sLife]

That's awesome. Thank you so much for watching

[@neilharrison2471]

Same impact UK

[@magamaga1827]

I was 13 growing up in NYC. Yea it had an impact on the culture in the US, but doing graffiti was considered ghetto and thug back then and is even worse now as an adult. Fortunately Heavy Metal had a bigger influence on me, so I stayed away from thinking I was all black and stuff.

[@zeikerd]

@@magamaga1827 Played a show yesterday, will be playing saturday AND do some graffiti before that

[@DannyAbs]

Great video!!! Those movies were iconic as a teenager who grew up in the 80s

That is so cool that your son is into the history of the 80's! OMGSH! I can't believe the Jean-Claude dancing scene. What a shame that the Debbie Reynolds dance studio is no longer there.

[@Division06UK]

Awesome buddy. I to was obsessed with all the same movies. I was also in a breakdance crew. I am from the UK, and plan to travel over to the states, to visit filming locations, and breakin is one of them. So I thank you for making up this video.

[@80sLife]

Awesome. Glad I could help you with some of the locations. Have a great time here in LA

[@frankm8533]

Awsome. Love the movie. Always wanted to see Venice Beach anything

Thank you so much for sharing this. I recorded breakin in the 80's on VHS lol. The music and actors performers are awesome

[@PolaBurrr]

nice ! ... growing up in Sweden i was really in to Break dancin and Breakin the movie etc .. now i live in los angeles and its cool to see these locations .. im gonna for sure drive down to the turbo dance location one day and take a pic ... also i took my daughter to Debbie Reynolds dance studio a few times and had no idea they filmed there .. cool ! .. thanx

[@lee__1707]

Amazing job finding all those places most people would walk by without a clue, Breakin 1 -2 / beat street etc got them all in my collection. I hear Michael chambers is a great guy very friendly, shame Adolfo Quiñones and bruno Falcon have both passed away both legends RIP. Saw an interview with Lucinda Dickey (youtube) few years back talking about the breakin movies and ninja 3 interesting to hear her story, lovely lady. At 54 i have fond memories of those movies the the music and the feel good vibe they brought, i don't see them as cheesy...just fun and of course the quality of the breakin was top notch particularly from Michael.

Hey Kurt - there was a movie called Foxes back in 1980 that starred Jodie Foster. There's a pretty good blog that lists all the filming locations, many of which were in the SFV. Not sure if you're familiar with that film, but would you consider doing a vlog on the filming locations for that film? Check out the site sometime which lists them, looks pretty cool.

[@80sLife]

A few people have asked about that movie. I'll look into it.
