YMMV / Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo

• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: In one scene, Turbo blatantly defies the laws of gravity. He dances on the floor for a bit, then suddenly he starts dancing on the wall and then the ceiling! After that, nobody ever talks about it again. It's no Imagine Spot either; Lucia watches him do it. It's a pretty sophisticated effect (they used a rotating set contraption, borrowed from A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)), but why the hell is it there?!
• Harsher in Hindsight: The film's subtitle, due to its popularity as a snowclone, became the inspiration for the name of the Boogaloo movement, a far-right extremist organization with links to white supremacy and violent crime that aims to start a second American civil war (i.e. "Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo").
• Memetic Mutation: "Electric Boogaloo" was such a strange and nonsensical-sounding title that it become a recurring gag, for years after the film's release, to refer to any superfluous sequel as "[X] 2: Electric Boogaloo". About 30 years later, it became the trope namer for this very website.
• Narm Charm: Breakin' might as well have been called Narm Charm: The Movie for how seriously it took the classic "pinning of all hopes and dreams on succeeding on a dance audition" premise with such a fad as breakdancing, and is a textbook example of So Bad, It's Good. By contrast, Breakin' 2 is this because it knew exactly what it was, and the plot, acting and total weirdness like Turbo dancing on the ceiling were quite intentional.
• Rooting for the Empire: In his review of Electric Boogaloo, The Cinema Snob notably ended up siding with the land developers and their plans of building a shopping centre at the site of Miracles, largely because of how simple the developer’s plans were and how the main characters in Ozone and Turbo react to those plans. It doesn’t help when Turbo steals the workers' lunches and subsequently gets punished by falling down a flight of stairs.
  Cinema Snob: I feel okay with the fact that I was rooting for the villains.
• Sequelitis: A notorious example, to the extent that the title has become a joke synonymous with bad sequels. Being released in the same year as the original certainly didn't help its quality.
• So Bad, It's Good: Regarded as such. Sure, the acting's lousy and the plot's barely there, but the dancing's actually pretty good and everything is just SO EIGHTIES!
• Watch It for the Meme: If someone seeks out the film today, it's probably because they're curious about the whole "Electric Boogaloo" thing.
