i guess when beat street make a national appearance and flashdance come at the same time . the problem with flashdance be that there be only one break dance scene and the rest be jazz dance and ballet . that be one of the reason why beat street be well . the only movie that could rival beat street seem to be footloose and because both movie focus on how dance have be use by people to express their utmost feeling . the break dance scene in beat street come just before the middle and at the end of the flick . and i love all of them . almost all of the break trick be feature in the break jam scene represent the jackhammer and the flare and the head spin and the suicide sit and the crazy leg and the mortal and the forward flip and the figure four almost everything . like the warrior and beat street do have violence relate to the gang life in the hip hop world . but in a much less violent way than the former . the only major fight scene in beat street be when graffiti artist ramon ( which in the movie be abbreviate a ramo ) be chase by a rival gang member on the new york city subway track . fight each other on the third rail and both die by electrocution on that rail . well and although that chase scene end tragically and it be well that they die that way than have blood explode from a gang gunshot . most of the gang stuff in the flick be graffiti relate to the hip hop culture and and rap music . a lot of rap music appear in the flick and because hip hop member use rap music a a diversion to the negative aspect of gang life . even the theme song of the movie and which close the curtain to the flick and be not just an homage to hip hop culture it also be an homage to the death of ramon . by the way and during the dance scene call tango and tango and i guess the female drummer in the pit orchestra conduct by actress rae dawn chong be sheila e. make a cameo appearance .
