Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo is an American 1984 film directed by Sam Firstenberg.[2] 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.

Legacy[edit]
The subtitle 'Electric Boogaloo', originally a reference to a funk-oriented dance style of the same name, has entered the pop-culture lexicon as a snowclone pejorative nickname to denote an archetypical sequel.[9] The usual connotation is of either a ridiculous sequel title, or of the follow-up to an obscure or eclectic movie (or other work).[10][11] The band Five Iron Frenzy titled one of their albums Five Iron Frenzy 2: Electric Boogaloo.[12] The band Minus the Bear features the song Get Me Naked 2: The 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'.[13] Other news articles and media have used the Electric Boogaloo subtitle, and it has also become an Internet meme.[12]
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 were featured.[14]

No one ever sets out to make a bad movie. But it happens. A lot. Especially when there’s a 2, a III, or an Electric Boogaloo in the title. Hollywood’s mania for sequels is a relatively new development.
