BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Manthast Absolutely amazing

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

druid_ch Judging this movie as a movie is wrong This is not just a movie it's a guide book You can't realise the impact that this film had in lives of teenagers outside US Only if you are a 14 year old in a cinema watching the battle in Roxy with eyes and mouth open wide you can understand it ( I was ) , ok has some corny scenes and some bad acting . WHO CARED ? No one did and no one will This is a worldwide introduction to Hip Hop

view_and_review I'll be perfectly honest: I watched "Beat Street" tons of times and it wasn't for the acting. I remember when this movie was still fresh and it was a must watch for all the young rap-loving, b-boying, break dancing kids. I can't give it high marks for the story, I can't give it high marks for the script, and I can't give it high marks for the acting even with the addition of Rae Dong Chong... but I sure did love the breakdance battle scenes and the music. Even to this day I watch it for the dancing and marvel at the moves the two gangs did. "Beat Street" will always be a favorite of mine even if I can't bring myself to give it a high grade.

freddy_jackson Compared to Breakdance this is more gritty, forget the plot or story as this film is pretty thin if you're expecting a wonderfully written street drama, this movies' delights are all in the dance-offs performed in the club and the subways of the city, the soundtrack is pretty cool too, with the exception of a couple of cheesy tracks to denote the "lovey dovey" scenes which have been put in this film for no apparent reason at all! All in all, this is a fun movie for fans of the breakin' scene, excellent moves to try and copy in your front room, and that is what it's all about! A movie not to be taken too seriously, enjoy!

rainbowdelacruz I just wanna say that amongst all the so-called classic hiphop films Ive seen like Wild Style, KrushGroove, Breakin', Style Wars etc... IMO BEAT STREET is the best amongst the others. Whenever I ask other people about which is their fave, then it seems that BEAT STREET pops out the most. But still, its the lowest ranked of all. 4.3 is just a punch "under the belt" (If say, 5 points is the belt). I love the music performances, the breakdancing makes me wanna spin, RAMO makes me wanna throw a piece...c'mon, its a classic!!!
