| 1 | * 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 ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet1984''), but why the hell is it there?! |
| 2 | * 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"]]. About 30 years later, it became the trope namer for this very website. |
| 3 | * NarmCharm: ''Breakin[='=]'' might as well have been called Narm Charm: TheMovie 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 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. |
| 4 | * 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]]. |
| 5 | -->'''Cinema Snob:''' I feel okay with the fact that I was rooting for the villains. |
| 6 | * {{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. |
| 7 | * 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!]] |
| 8 | * WatchItForTheMeme: If someone seeks out the film today, it's probably because they're curious about the whole "Electric Boogaloo" thing. |
