Breakdance Poster Original Daybill 1984 aka Breakin Ice-T
Rare Daybill poster.Breakdance also known as Breakin in the USA, is a 1984 American breakdancing-themed musical film directed by Joel Silberg. The film's setting was inspired by a 1983 documentary titled Breakin' 'n' Enterin', set in the multi-racial hip hop club Radio-Tron, based out of MacArthur Park in Los Angeles. Many of the artists and dancers from said documentary, including Ice-T (who makes his film debut as a club MC), and Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chambers, went straight from Breakin' 'n' Enterin' to star in Breakdance. The film's soundtrack featured the hits "Breakin'... There's No Stopping Us" by Ollie & Jerry, "Freakshow on the Dance Floor" by The Bar-Kays and the UK Top 20 hit "Body Work" by Hot Streak. Breakdance was released to theatres on May 4, 1984 and was a box office success.
