Please take me back to the 80's!!! What a wonderful time it was.

[@ja2415]

Gangbanging was real back then, 80

[@serekithegreat]

In my opinion Beat Street was the best break dancing film ever released. 😎👊🏾🤙🏾✌🏾🎥

[@larrybelchek]

An absolute classic!! It should be required watching for all kids, 11 and older.

[@geraldjohnson3216]

Nah kid my shorty is 6 turnin 7 n he love play at your own risk n he he break dances to this shit

[@sheperdjohnson1185]

I always wondered what happened to them! They all look good!!

[@TommyGers-by6mt]

Meine Welt.

[@rocker-barrel4786]

Yes!!

[@MindBat]

The 80's, breakdancing, and hip-hop, made for some great times and great music.

[@bigpeaches1744]

My son Kenyatta would watch this movie over and over again. He played this movie so much that I knew everyone's line.lol

[@beachboi6196]

Me 2

[@mchaelsantacruz8133]

This movie was small but had HUGE HEART ......ErrrrrrrrAH !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@blainelee8021]

My era man if i had a 10 million dollars and somebody told me to give up to get those days back I'd hand it over.

[@salimselemani4861]

If it's on auction I'll be the highest bidder I'll bid million and one to bring those days back

[@LVL1Yo-YoGuy]

I give up my own life to give an opportunity to any kid to go back in those days at least to set foot in a public library after school hours, or like my favorite was playing marbles outside on top of dry dirt area.

[@jeffpower-thisthattheoddtr4503]

Me too brother

[@karlinladeramusic]

I feel ya!

[@spenser6353]

It’s hard watching the heroes of your youth get old. Just reminds you how old you are

[@olgacolonforeversky]

OMG I love this movie. And I have it. I just got to watch it again. This was the days when we used to break dance. How I miss those days when life was so good. 👍👍💞😘

[@PSL1969]

Me and my brother went to see it 7 straight times in the cinema. We were already breakin' so this was awesome! :)

[@andredurr1074]

One of my favorite movies of the 80's growing up in that area as a pre teen was one of the best times of my life everybody thought they could break dance or do karate back then man times have change the kids these days would never get to know how it was during that time I'm 43 now and I still watch this movie and tear up when RAMO die on the train tracks

[@JudahTribe-lt3ur]

One of my favorite movies of all time!

[@elisabrown3018]

I just started breakin in 84,and then I got this movie from my local video shop it blew me away loved beat street classic film,use to watch it all the time,ive got a copy of it on dvd Melle Mel and Scorpio signed it for me years later.....🤘😃👍

[@CHICOIZPAIN]

THE ROXY BATTLE.... DOPEST BREAK BATTLE OF ALL TIME ON FILM....

[@jamesapt66]

True indeed. Just watched this again the other day on Tubi.

[@Shortyb1977]

I must agree and I want to give my brother a 50th Beat Street theme and my cousin want to have that battle so he can be Lee😂😂😂

[@snake9911]

I remember watching that movie in the theater in 1984. I thought that the dancing was great. I also liked the artwork and the paintings. I enjoyed watching that movie.

[@CreativeLaelAsif]

I used to watch this and the warriors over and over again

[@jeffpower-thisthattheoddtr4503]

And the wanderers

[@selvync.9531]

Beat Street is a movie you must have in your collections. I still have soundtrack on tape. I was 10 when I saw this. Install classic.

[@rgw1380rw]

I have the Albums somewhere in a crate amongst many other Albums.

[@ClintonOrtiz]

My favorite movie as a teen in Chicago, 1984. Thank you for everyone involved with it.

[@edwynnkelley136]

Love this movie too. This movie has a Chicago connection. The character Angela: Tony (Tonya Pinkins) is from the South side of Chicago and is the first cousin of my ex-wife. A very nice and beautiful woman as well.

[@RandomNest]

Wow! I didn't know Guy Davis was Ruby Dee's an Ossie Davis' son. He looks like his mother.. And looks far younger than 65.. Amazing!

[@theniceone26]

My thoughts exactly! ☺️

[@robertokarloespinozaecheva7768]

Uuuuuu

[@rissaceehart4076]

I Knew YEARS ago,BUT He was always a little different to me, but UNlike his famous Parents ,,he was the TOTAL Opposite of what they Did.💁

[@rosilynmakeba1092]

Those were the days - had a nice soundtrack, too!

[@cptdekker]

Did u get your hands on both versions (yellow/pink)?

[@jeffpower-thisthattheoddtr4503]

I was 13 when beat street come out and I even bought the grandmaster melle Mel album and to this day beat street is my warm up tune wen I train

[@micheleD498]

Omg!! Forget Breakin...Beat Street was my movie and music!!!! I was 13 and all the kids in the neighborhood thought we were break dancers. Huge crush on Ramon back then❤ Hmmm miss the days where we battle each other with music instead of knives and guns...

[@johnnybiggunz1141]

What about now you still have a crush on him?😂😁😢😢😢

[@JudahTribe-lt3ur]

Yes the good ol days! I hear ya

[@v8rockz]

Beatstreet was better, but the battle tracks with Ice-T are so good...

[@0810louise]

They break danced got fun to settle disagreement, totally different era.

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

They almost never did just breakdance battles. A lot of times when that happened fistfights and worse would break out. Crews would have beef and solve it via fights just like any other crew. It wasn't like violence only started happening more recently.

[@eyezsosexi]

Great update!!

[@joycewashington1389]

Amazing Movie! Loved "Beat Street" n "Breakin'" Grew Up Right In The Beginning n Heart Of The Rappin, Poppin' n Lockin' Was Hooked Ever Since Til This Day! n Omg Learned This Year After Watchin Beat Street So Many Times B4, That Guy Davis Iz The Son Of Two Great Parents!

[@MN-fc5so]

[@jeexbit]

Grew up in the 80s, this movie changed my life!

[@jasbinderdhillon948]

Cherished memories allover

[@lennylenn4009]

Sandra Santiago is STILL Gorgeous at 60.. had that mad crush on her back in 1984 on in her Miami Vice day's.

[@VinDieselXXX]

I wasn't even alive when this came out. But as a native new yorker it appealed to me more than anything

[@rgw1380rw]

I was 4 years old when this movie was released.

[@yordanabreu1831]

God blessed break dance for ever !

[@dannij7081]

These youngins today BETTER watch 👀 and learn

[@coachb2766]

Rae Dawn Chong. Man I had such a crush on her in the 80's. Could never see enough of Rae . Who else had her pin-up photo ?

[@adamgordon2572]

Coach B : Yeh... she looked on point in commando 💯

[@coachb2766]

Adam Gordon Good days, pretty girl.

[@DonnieDarko1]

😍

[@DonnieDarko1]

😍😍😍😘

[@jal051]

She hasn't aged much, tbh.

[@rgw1380rw]

The Beat Street movie is one of the things from my childhood that inspired me to brush up on my graffiti letters, develop my first tag, plus start writing rhymes. Once I complete my home production equipment setup, I'll be trying to figure how to use everything I have.

[@reyvinicio7269]

I've watched this easily like 10 times one of thee best movies...

[@queenofweaves916]

This was my movie😍 the holiday rap battle scene was epic! Rae Dawn Chong Saundra Santiago and Mary Alice has aged beautifully.

[@TerrySwoopeVideos]

Thanks for commenting and sharing your feedback

[@sucrerie1969]

That small scene in the movie might be the only time I've seen Kool Moe Dee without sunglasses on.

[@sxyredwalker9454]

IKR...LOL😁🥰🤣🤣🤣

[@lawrencecampbell6108]

This dope movie got me to bust my first pare of pumas and I still rock the same kind 30+ years latter. Hip Hop was the best thang in my life back then beside oxygen.

[@willx_1]

"Eat your eggs before I break your legs": Mother Cora.

[@warcamp70]

Today that line would be considered child abuse and deleted from final cut.

[@mikedamian2]

classic....:-)

[@HypnoticHollywood]

@@warcamp70 Movies today are way more graphic, no one would consider that line as anything other than the joke it was meant to be.

[@HypnoticHollywood]

She doesn't look like the same actress who played the Oracle in the Matrix like the video says, strange.

[@warcamp70]

@mysterymediacorp In case you missed it. It was just jab at how soft this country has become. You're thinking way to much into it my man and you're a fool if you don't think the sjw's wouldn't have anything to say. They're telling the networks to pull Rudolph the red nose reindeer because there is bullying in it. Soft soft soft was my point.

[@TravelHonestly]

There's a LOT of scenes at the start of this video that were cut from the movie. Wish there was a fan edit/directors cut out there somewhere. Love Beat Street. Seem's a fair bit of "Breakin'" was cut too...

[@neilharrison3187]

Yes bruv extra footage is needed.

[@adriengadson3544]

Yeah I forgot those scenes as when the movie trailers showed them. I wish there was an editors cut too.

[@willx_1]

I Agree.

[@karlleonard9914]

I read up on this a while back, and apparently the missing scenes got binned, totally don't exist anymore apart from what you can see on here and the original trailer. Damn shame.

[@Tranquility32]

I could NEVER get the windmill!!! Loved breakin’ though. … aka “Dazzle Dee” ; )

[@neilharrison3187]

Wish could get in a time machine the best times 80s , good lad Terry top dope Brah.

[@thomashenderson9004]

It hard to realize "🎅 Rapper" was Kool Moe Dee. With him wearing his shades most of the time, the baby he had in the movie was hard to adjust

[@TheBlueRage]

Beat Street, Breakin, and Flash Dance changed the world.

[@strauqq1]

What an amazing movie and moment in Hip Hop. This is when it was raw and real. Now all we got is mumble rappers and how many likes😕😞

[@likesmusic11]

I've watched that movie countless times, and never knew Guy was the child of the great Ruby and Ossie.

[@karlinladeramusic]

Yesssss! Love this!! Grew up w Beat Street & Breakin'. Thx for doing this..

[@Kardasi]

My favorite Movie during my Teen Years.Watched it so many times,i was breakin myself!Oldies but Goldies!

[@mustafahajj]

Classic NYC film. Cooley High Chicago classic and Colors is a LA classic. Those films gave you a true to life guide through those cities and how life were once upon of time. They simply doesn't write nor produce quality films like these anymore.

NYC Breakers (Beat Street) vs Rock Steady Crew (Bronx Rockers)

[@paulgreene6899]

That's One Era, that's Unforgettable.

[@jardejacobs5006]

Just saw this..such an underated movie. A real gem!

[@BigDapPacino]

Dude who played Lee was athletic as hell...Kool Moe Dee, Doug E Fresh, and Melle Mel in the movie...they did'nt even mention the New York City Breakers or Rock Steady Crew...not too long after I saw the movie in the theatre...I visited New York City for family reunion and stayed in the Bronx...I was so excited because I grew up in Virginia and I was 12 years old at the time....I was a Hip Hop fanatic ...to be honest, I still am!
