   (imdb rating: 7.5/10)


Plot: Jumping continents and crossing cultures, "Planet B-Boy" looks at the history of breakdancing and its vibrant resurgence in urban cultures around the world.

Movie's official date may be 2007 but it came out in 08 in the US

I really wanted to like this especially since one of the crews featured is from France but they come off as real assholes. The German guy who organizes the show looks a bit less than legit but that's just appearances (or the accent)

Of course there's a huge soft spot for the Asian crews but some of the background stories are mad sad. I do feel super hyped about Gamblerz (just that name!)

The US crew is actually an early version of America's Best Dance Crew season 2 winner Super Crew (which begs the question if this one or that one is authentic)


Overall okay, a bit underwhelming but still some of the best dancing captured on film
