फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
I found this movie at the local used record store for $2.95, and bought it for a friends birthday. Let's begin; Lorenzo Lamas heads a breaking (I used the 'g' because Lamas does too!) crew, The Body Rock Crew. They are just a bunch of kind hearted street punks who love to express their inner turmoil through the majesty of break dancing. Now; with that said the "film" begins with Lamas and company holding up traffic whilst they pop and lock across the intersection only stopping to oogle an '80's chick in unison. Then we see the crew hanging at their local dive putting on a dance, and rap show. Lamas is the first to rap, let me TRY to describe this; Imagine you have an uncle who is all things not cool, but according to your uncle he is the epitome of cool. Now imagine he shows up at your 16th birthday party dressed like a cross between Travolta circa Carrie, and an extra from Lionel Ritchies "All night long" video and begins to rap things like "And now i'm gonna do a rap for you,i'm Chilly, from the Body Rock Crew!!" On and on it goes, Chilly eventually bangs his best friend/Dj's little sister, gets famous off of his skills (?) performs a song (Smooth Talker) blows off his "homies", falls from grace and re-connects with his crew for a final "Rapstravaganza". If you enjoy all things '80's, laughing, and Lorenzo Lamas I highly suggest you and those close to your heart check out this Rapstravaganza!!!
The third hip-hop/break dancing musical of 1984 (after Breakin' and Beat Street) and easily the worst. In fact, it barely got released theatrically at all. Lorenzo Lamas stars and let's just say he's no Adolfo 'Shabadoo' Quinones. He's such an unlikable meathead douchebag you'd have to be a sociopath to care whether he's successful in his music/dancing career or not. The other big problem is that the film's music, while not necessarily awful, is in no way hip-hop. It's all techno-pop. Lamas may be Hispanic, but the movie definitely feels like it was made more to appeal to whitebread audiences (not that the other two movies mentioned above weren't also made for that audience, but at least they featured actual black music). If you want authenticity, go for Beat Street. If you want goofy fun, go for Breakin'. If you want to be bored out of your mind, go for Body Rock.
It's hard to even describe this movie or how it came into being. My guess is that a bunch of old white guys decided they wanted to get in the "rapping and break dancing thing", but they were too frightened of minorities to let actual break dancers get too close and they weren't entirely sure what rap even was.
"Chilly D", aka Lorenzo Lamas, is an aspiring "graffiti artist", but seeing he doesn't have a future there, he decides to make is as a "rapper and break dancer", and puts together a group of friends to impress a big promoter. He gets some lessons from some people who know how to break dance, and some of those scenes are pretty impressive, but it's strictly B-roll. Chilly himself can barely dance, and as for his rapping... well, another review described it like your "uncle who thinks he's cool", but I disagree; he sounds like someone who's *making fun* of your uncool uncle.
Anyway, they have their show, and the promotor's boss decides that he's going to single Chilly out and make him famous - in spite of the fact the Chilly is objectively the *least* talented guy in the crew. It's never clear what he becomes famous for, since he doesn't rap and other people do the dancing. He does do a halfway decent job on one song ("Smooth Talker"), but it's a straight 80s ballad, nothing at all to do with rap.
Anyway, you get the idea; it's the standard "talented guy gets famous and forgets his real friends until he has an epiphany" plot, except that he's not particularly talented, and he continues to treat his friends like crap. Basically, he remains a self-centered, misogynistic, homophobic jerk, who you kind of want to fail.
How to rate it? It's definitely not good, and while it has some "so bad it's good" charm, there are much better movies by that yardstick as well.

Out of other break dancing movies, 83 to 84, this one went straight to the video shelves, missing it's chance on the big screen. Personally I think it would of bombed. This is a weird miscasting. I mean Lamas, really, a break dancer, are you kidding me? Well seeing is believing and he can. But his acting here is awful, the other actors, especially the older ones fare much better. Even Lorenzo's girl is good in this. Basically it's a story of ghetto surviving Lamas, being given this grand opportunity, thanks to his talent, to get out of Grotville and go places where he may have to sacrifice friendship and loved ones. Lamas, firstly strongly opposed to this, becomes manipulated, not wanting to blow this opportunity of a lifetime offered by talent agent Sharkey. A middle aged manager to Sharkey, (Frederick) doesn't like be dejected when trying to put her hooks into him, while dancing to a number, "Ohll Sex Shooter". We all know what follows, things start to go wrong for Lamas and he's in the pits. He redeems himself with his fellow homies and puts on a number and everything works out fine in the end. There's your movie input. The best thing about Body Rock, which is adequately entertaining, is the song. I loved it then, and I still love it now. Pity, I don't feel the same way about the movie.
As a long time South Bronx native and Hip Hop culturist, I found this crap be nothing but absolute bulls---. Smh.
