Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo is a 1984 American dance musical film directed by Sam Firstenberg.[3] It is a sequel to the 1984 breakdancing film Breakin'. Electric Boogaloo was released seven months after its predecessor by TriStar Pictures. In some international locations the film was released under the title Breakdance 2: Electric Boogaloo. Another sequel, Rappin' (also known as Breakdance 3) was made but had an unconnected plot and different lead characters – only Ice-T features in all three films.

The subtitle "Electric Boogaloo" has entered the popular culture lexicon as a snowclone nickname to denote an archetypal sequel.

Plot

The three main dancers from Breakin' – Kelly "Special K" Bennett (Lucinda Dickey), Orlando "Ozone" Barco (Adolfo Quinones), and Tony "Turbo" Ainley (Michael Chambers) – struggle to stop the demolition of a community recreation center by a developer who wants to build a shopping mall. Viktor Manoel, Ice-T, Lela Rochon and Martika also appear as dancers.

Critical reception

Like its predecessor, Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo received mostly negative reviews from critics.[4][5] New York Press film critic Armond White considered it to be "superb"[6] and Roger Ebert gave the film a three out of four star rating.[7] As of December 2017, Rotten Tomatoes gave it a rating of 29% based on 7 reviews.[8]

Box office

The film grossed $2,921,030 in its first 5 days starting December 21, 1984, playing at 717 theaters in the United States and Canada[9] and went on to gross $15.1 million in the United States and Canada,[1] less than half that of its predecessor. Despite this, it is considered to be a success financially, due to making back over three times its budget.

Soundtrack

Like its predecessor, much of the film's soundtrack was provided by Ollie & Jerry, comprising the duo Ollie E. Brown and Jerry Knight. The title track, "Electric Boogaloo", reached number 45 on the R&B charts.[10]

Legacy

The subtitle "Electric Boogaloo", originally a reference to a funk-oriented dance style of the same name, entered the popular culture lexicon in the 2000s decade as a snowclone nickname to denote an archetypal sequel.[15] The usual connotation is of either a ridiculous sequel title, or of the follow-up to an obscure or eclectic film (or other work).[16][17] The rock band Five Iron Frenzy titled their fourth album Five Iron Frenzy 2: Electric Boogaloo and the mathgrind band The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza titled their sophomore album Danza II: Electric Boogaloo.[18] The band Minus the Bear features the song "Get Me Naked 2: Electric Boogaloo" on the album Highly Refined Pirates. An episode of the television show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia was titled "Chardee MacDennis 2: Electric Boogaloo".[19] Other news articles and media have used the Electric Boogaloo subtitle, and it has also become an Internet meme.[18] A documentary about the Cannon Group was released in 2014 called Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films of which Breakin' and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo were featured.[20] In the movie Kicking and Screaming, Grover's promiscuous partners after a breakup with a girl named Jane are collectively rereferred to as "Jane 2: Electric Boogaloo."[21] The third volume of the Pokémon graphic novel series Pokémon: The Electric Tale of Pikachu by Toshihiro Ono is known in English as Pokémon: Electric Pikachu Boogaloo.[22]

As early as 2012, right-wing extremists in the United States began using the term "boogaloo" (or simply "boog") as a dog whistle to describe a rebellion against the American government, implying a desire for a "sequel" to the first American Civil War, coming to widespread attention in late 2019.[23][24][25] Groups and individuals subscribing to this ideology are part of the boogaloo movement, who are often referred to colloquially as "boogaloo boys" or "chuds."[26][27][28]
