History YMMV / Breakin2ElectricBoogaloo

* RootingForTheEmpire: In his review of Electric Boogaloo, WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob notably ended up siding with the land developers and their plans of building a shopping centre at the site of Miracles, largely because of [[PunchClockVillain how simple the developer’s plans were]] and how the main characters in [[TookALevelInJerkass Ozone]] and [[FilchingFoodForFun Turbo]] react to those plans. [[NotHelpingYourCase It doesn’t help when Turbo steals the workers lunches]] [[LaserGuidedKarma and subsequently gets punished by falling down a flight of stairs]].

* NarmCharm: ''Breakin[='=]'' might as well have been called Narm Charm: TheMovie for how seriously it took the 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 SoBadItsGood. By contrast, ''Breakin' 2'' is this because it knew exactly what it was, and the [[ExcusePlot plot]], [[HamAndCheese acting]] and total weirdness like Turbo dancing on the ceiling were quite intentional.

-->'''Cinema Snob:''' I feel okay with the fact I was rooting for the villains.

* HarsherInHindsight: The film's subtitle, due to its popularity as a snowclone, became the inspiration for the name of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boogaloo_movement Boogaloo movement]], a far-right extremist organization with links to white supremacy and violent crime. The movement aims to start a second American civil war: "Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo."

* SoBadItsGood: 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 [[TheEighties SO EIGHTIES!]]

* MemeticMutation: "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 [[OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo "[X] 2: Electric Boogaloo"]].

* {{Sequelitis}}: A notorious example, to the extent that the title has become a joke synonymous with bad sequels.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: 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 ImagineSpot either; Lucia watches him do it. It's a pretty sophisticated effect (they used a rotating set contraption, borrowed from ''ANightmareOnElmStreet''), but why the hell is it there?!
