Movie Reviews of Wild Style
Movie Review: legendary classic
Summary: 5 Stars
im from england and in 1984 the hip hop breaking and grafiti scene arrived. but it took me a good 6 months to really get into it. i use to bomb my school walls and break too. in 1985 the breakin scene died down, but in my heart i wanted to keep it alive. it wasnt till the summer of 1986 when i went to NEW YORK that i was looking forward to seeing the greatest breakers and graffiti artists, but when i arrived it was all finished. i even asked people on the street wheres all the breakin and graffiti, they replied its out of style man. i was just so saddened i could not have seen a culture which in my view was new yorks greatest. it wasnt till after that i saw WILD STYLE,WHICH made it more saddened for me. i actually stayed in the south bronx, in which was the centre of it all. Wild style bought the real fruit of the culture. if there was no wild style, i dont think there would of been beat street, breakin or any of the other classics. Even to this day i still have the pleasure in watching it. Many people in ENGLAND believed that going and bombing trains in new york was part of the film, but life in NEW YORK was exactly how you saw wild style. I remember a puerto rican guy named CHICO who i made friends with over in new york, said to me" wild style exactly how new york was in 1983,84. i guess my real sadness was i couldnt of gone to new york at that time to see it. GOD BLESS, all old skool lovers....

Movie Review: Informed Response to Paulie's Problem with the Movie...
Summary: 5 Stars
I just spoke with Charlie Ahearn this weekend at the panel discussion in NYC for the book "Aerosol Kingdom" (which you should definitely check out) and I asked him about the kitchen scene. The problem was money (I know, big surprise). The people that hold the rights to the two songs used in that small clip wanted $8,000 each, which was far more than Charlie could pony up, especially after all of the other costs of re-releasing a film. People always think there is some major multi-national corporation behind every project, but in this case it was just Charlie Ahearn (Rhino is distributing, but they don't get involved with the production costs). So, in short, try to understand that sometimes unfortunately money is a real issue, especially when you have real people (not companies) involved.
By the way, the only version that had the original music in it was the theatrical release. The VHS release is the same as the DVD version.
I would HIGHLY recommend that you check out this hip-hop classic for the truest depiction of what it was like back in the day.
Movie Review: AWESOME DVD!!!!

Wild Style, the video bible of any real hip hop fan who grew up in the 1980s. The DVD version is a huge step up from the video that was released a few years back. First of all, the famous scene with Grand Master Flash in his kitchen has been totally revamped. In the original film, Flash is juggling Bob James' "take me to the mardi gras", however in the video version this music was replaced with a drab track that had no life. On this DVD however, that same music was replaced again, but this time, the track that was used was worlds better, and was fit into the scene much better as well. A must see.Movie Review: The 1st and only true hip hop movie

I've been into the hip hop and b-boying scene for almost 12 years. I have seen all the breakin movies; breakin, beat street, style wars,etc. Wild Style is Hip Hop in it's purest form. You won't see any flashy cars or any fake rappers in this movie. You will see some of the greatest pioneers in the game; busy bee, double trouble,ken swift,lee,zephyr,lady pink,grandmaster flash, and so on. I love this movie so much. Certain parts of the movie give me chills because it's so raw and pure. Definitely a must have for any true hip hop head. peace out, B Boy TRON oneMovie Review: ONE OF THE CLASSICS

I see some people saying this movie was not all it was said to have been. But you definately had to have seen this during the early 80's to relate to it and it was only meant for the people that actually lived in this time era. For most of you seeing it for the first time in 2006, it wont make sense to you and seem outdated. If your recollection of Hip Hop is N.W.A. or the likes, you will know nothing about this movie or relate to it in anyway - this is raw Hip Hop.
