Breakin'

Ozone and Turbo. If these names don't immediately say to you Greatest Movie of All Time, you're too young to have seen the two Breakin' epics. Because if you had seen them, you'd know exactly who I was referring to.

I don't fully remember the context of when I first saw Breakin' or Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo, but I know it was a long time ago and I know it was life changing. I expect that many others were equally impacted by this breakdancing movie franchise.

Allow me to take you back to 1984. A time when hip hop was still in its earliest stages and Jay-Z and Nelly were still in grade school. This clip features a key moment in Breakin' where Ozone and Turbo participate in a dance-off with Electrorock, the baddest breakers in town. A young, but not too young, Ice-T shows off his rhymes as the battle's MC. This was Ice's first movie role and came seven years before his acting breakthrough in New Jack City. I've also read tonight that this movie features an appearance from a very young Jean Claude Van Damme.





In Breakin 2, Ozone and Turbo are back to help the community dance their way into saving Miracles by raising $200,000.00. Never before and not since this movie has dancing on a bulldozer meant so much.

Doing some additional research to add to this post, I came upon this interview with Michael Chambers (Turbo) from what appears to be 2006. In it, it reads:

You’re also possibly in production with "Breakin 3: Breakin Revolution"?

I have nothing to do with that yet. I got a proposal online from someone saying they have a treatment for "Breakin 3" and would I be interested? I don’t hold my breath on those things. If they give me a money offer or a script that is decent that’s fine. If everything looks good then I’ll give it a green light.

I will tell you what I have been working on with the writer and creator of the movie "Breakin". We’ve been making appearances at these art cinemas where they screen the movie. We’ve been traveling around the country with a Q&A thing. Our next one is supposed to be in Texas.
Breakin' 3!!?!?! Fingers crossed.

This just keeps getting better:
"The King of Pop" Michael Jackson hired Chambers from 1983 to 1991 as his personal dance instructor working on various popping and street dance. Some of Michael Jackson's signature dance moves were taught and developed by Chambers including the moonwalk. First Lady Nancy Regan invited Chambers to the White House to take part in the "Stop the Madness" Anti-drug campaign and was the lead actor in the film that included Whitney Houston and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Chambers is honored to be the first hip hop entertainer invited to the White House. Hollywood continued to cast Chambers and his signature dance style know as "Liquid Animation" opposite Keanu Reeves in "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey," playing, good robot Bill and as Urkel-bot for the hit sitcom Family Matters."

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of hardship when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
Nowadays, I feel good, I started take up real income.
It gets down to choose a proper partner who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, parts and divides the profit with me.

You can ask, if there are such firms? I have to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
