Terrible pastiche of ideas that were whole-sale stolen from 2 films before Beat Street - the nucleus of this garbage throw away pap smear was the film Wild Style.
Wild Style was a produced / scripted copy of the original production / documentary called Style Wars.
So if you want legitimacy, watch Style Wars for the historical reflection and the real story.
Wild Style is interesting as there are some good Music and Breakdancing and a killer sound track.
If you want Disney ride to b.s. Ville, watch Beat Street.
Throwaway trash in 1984 and even worse today.
One could argue the soundtrack (vol 1 and vol 2) is better than the film. Marginally.
The guy that wrote this film, hilariously tried to make a name for him in the Marijuana culture. No one remembers him 'ironically'.
