Peter P @RT28879933 10/27/2023 Underrated action-drama-romance in energetic B-movie style with New York locations you don't often see in movies. Don't expect too much action, there are no shootouts, mostly it's chasing among abandoned housings/rooftops and some brawling with the drugdealers, but it all is very physical and dynamic. Also there is some real sparkle between the main couple. See more 05/16/2014 Ultra cheesy film about youth who live on the rooftops of new York and "combat dance". Final film of director Robert Wise. See more 03/06/2013 its the only place to be. See more 03/20/2008 Totally silly movie drawing the last breath of your run-of-the-mill 80s street life movies. Has some cool dance moves in it and some capoeira as well. It has a certain kitsch value which makes it unintendedly humorous. See more 03/08/2008 A heavy on the cheese 80's film that tried to bank on the dance and martial arts craze that took place during this era thanks to films like FLASHDANCE, BREAKIN', RAPPIN', KRUSH GROOVE, BLOODSPORT and others. This is a definite predecessor to such films as YOU GOT SERVED and the rest of those shitty urban dance films. It has the same ol' 80's recipe as our hero learns the Brazilian martial art Capoiera to enhance his dancing skills and kick some drug dealer ass in the process. The flick has got all the standard elements... dancing, gang wars on rooftops, streetfights, training sequence, love and revenge. You could say this is all that made the 80's action cheese great rolled up into one movie! This guilty pleasure of mine might surprise you and who knows...you might actually like it!!
