The Pilot

I really enjoyed this short TV Movie. My sister and I recorder this movie back in the late 80's. Everyday after school we would watch and try to perfect all the dance moves. This movie was very inspirational. It has a very good message. The thing I like about this movie is that she went from being a very unpopular girl to the best break dancer. So she proved a lot of people wrong! Whenever me and my sister get on the subject of 'Breakdancing', this movie is the first movie that comes to mind, but it seems like no one really has ever heard of it! THEIR LOST! Kelly Jo Minter really did a very good job!! This is one of the few movies I remember during my childhood.

I just saw this video for the first time last week and wanted to get more info on IMDb, from which there was none... However, there is good news for us all... Go to Youtube and enter the title as a search word and you can see The Pilot... Neat. Tell your friends. -------------

This was a great movie to watch back in the day. This movie started my friends and I on a break dancing frenzy. I would love to find a copy of this film. The Pilot- This was an ABC afternoon special. I'm not sure where you can get it but if you can find it check it out. It's about this chick who break dances in her room and is a totally awesome, but is afraid to go out and cut. So, she puts on this pilot outfit complete with a helmet and a black tinted visor and goes to these cutting' sessions and beats everybody, but nobody knows who she is. It's a bad story with terrible acting but, this flick contains some of the best "windmills" and "headspins" ever captured on film.

I had recorded this when I was high school on our $350 VCR. I watched it so many times I began to wear out the tape. I had to make a copy of it. It got me up and moving and dancing. The tape #2 broke. I was excited to learn our high school had a copy of it. I had girls watching it and learning the moves, I did as well. I highly recommend it.

I found the film very inspirational as a kid. It sounds funny since it is a breakdancing show. I related to it so much since I wanted to hide behind a mask my whole way through school. But, we all find our ways to come out and shine. In this tv movie, she came out and shined as a very gifted breakdancer. Wonderful show! Glad I had it as a kid. I too as most kids of the eighties did breakdancing. Though I was very poor at it as a kid, I begged for acceptance. I dreamed of big things but was made fun of so much as a kid. This show made you say, "Laugh all you want at me. I Have Talent!!!!" The summer I seen this video, I won 1st place at a county fair talent contest for breakdancing. Though I had little talent at it, I had the courage to get up there and do it. I won, and I got a free ride pass for the whole day at the fair. I had kids following me around!!!! I was something. This show, was by the days standards, very inspirational!!!! Thanks.
