      Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …what makes Body Rock an increasingly hot property of the so-bad-its-good genre is the quality of the music; it’s awful... Rated: 3/5 Sep 11, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member This was recently featured on How Did This Get Made, so I was expecting cinematic incompetence-which made the breakdancing scenes all the more surprising and welcome. It isn't so much a movie as it is a series of breakdancing sequences strung together by a worthless plot and a talentless protagonist that drags the energy down whenever they stop dancing. Weirdly, the plot of the movie mirrors the aesthetic failure of the narrative: The dancers are the real stars, and the protagonist has to eventually learn to get out of their way to let them dominate the stage instead. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Truly awful. It’s unfair to even call this mess a ‘movie.’ Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/16/18 Full Review Audience Member Parachute pants, vomit colored clothing, catchy clap along music, weed, hairy chests. It is indeed as 80s as it gets and I love it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Going back to the mid 80's they brought a rather large array of breakdancing films from Breakdance probaly one of the better ones and Beat Street and last and very least Body Rock. I seriously shouldnt waste my time talking about this film its really terrible in every sense of the word. Camp and tacky is a word I'd use but this was the type of 80's film people enjoyed. Lorenzo Lamas is a terrible dancer with has no real ability to sing the jury is still out on his acting, but its a laugh out riot when you hear the lyrics in the song he sings when his character hits the big time. Okay for laughs maybe this film was worth a look but apart from that this film is easy to forget. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Between "I know who killed me" and this, I don't know which horrible movie I love to watch more. Nothing about this movie is accurate, but it's okay because "that's hip-hop". Best part of the movie is his commercial that he makes on the way to the club. Thank you Adrian and Isaiah for getting me hip. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Lamas begins his legacy of narcissism as a rapper/tagger/b-boy intent on fame, in what is sadly and probably his best role. Dated as all Helll, but somehow not as completely bad as it deserves to be. A misguided snapshot of the time. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
