I’m 53 and was a breakdancer in the 80s from NYC. One thing hardly ever mentioned is how the best breakers on the block were also the fittest and most respected. It was a level of status that, as a 14 year old, I had because of this art. Being a good breaker also made me a good fighter and this lead me into martial arts. I then got into boxing and capoeira and I’m still in good fighting shape at 53. God bless those who still keep this art up.

[@Finland-SkiTeam39-40]

Respect !!! Imagine when we saw this film back in the 80´ in Finland (Nordic, Europe) and it was mindblowing with all the music and style so we tried to copy all the moves from this movie (and from Rock Steady Crew & New York City Breakers). Those were the times...I´m 55.

[@Jay1898]

@@djdedan Yes he was an actor and not a breaker although I have to say his popping is very good and his top rock one of the best and most stylish I have ever seen when he is on the subway. His breaking was pretty much at a beginner level though as seen in the roxy battle. There were many other top crews aside from RSC and NYCB at the time and I read on another video that the windmill and 1990 was actually done by one the top Puerto Rican breakers in NYC at the time. If you look closely the facial skin tone is lighter at times.

@@Jay1898 - Well said. His popping and uprock were both on point. His moves on the subway were real smooth. I always thought it might be Chino doubling for him at the audition.

Lee era is es el espíritu de Beatstreet el sabe lo último en música porque su hermano es dj,pintaba en el metro y tenía los mejores skills de breakdancers siempre creando shows tanto si va caminando con su crew, hace una performance en una escuela de baile o batalla con otras bandas rivales... Y no olvidemos que es un pionero del street wear creando sus propios looks que hoy son tendencia en todo el mundo... Lee era un adelantado a su tiempo, un visionario y su legado es atemporal, las leyendas nunca mueren, long life Lee!!!... Saludos y respetos desde Marruecos.

This kid made me love hip-hop and break dance. All dances involved with hip-hop. I love watching this movie in the ❄winter ❄ 😁! I felt like I was in that time period of the movie.

I actually consider it a Christmas movie. Stays in my Christmas movies rotation with the Home Alone's

[@awm891]

So crazy you think n said this. I feel the same for a long time. I believe the winter time is the pinnacle of when it all came together back in the day. I always associate winter time with hip hop vibe.

[@oscarvillarreal8951]

@@awm891 If you see some hip-hop movies like "Get Rich or Die Trying", "8 mile", "Juice", & "Beat Street?" The winter time was heavily involved. It was cold. Even in some classic videos like "Flava in yo Ear", & "Big Pappa." Most East Coast hip-hop had that tone. The West coast weather was mostly Hot like the "Friday" Franchise or just cool in the winter like "Friday after Next." No Snow...
