Great documentary..

Rating: 5
I normally do not buy DVDs, let alone write a review, but after watching this documentary I had to buy it just to show support for the director and bboying.

I read the product details and was expecting a bare-bones DVD but was pleasantly surprised with a 30 minute bonus feature "More On bboying" that goes even more in-depth into the history of bboying (i.e. Rocksteady Crew, "Flash Dance", and the European evolution of breakin). The bonus feature alone is worth the purchase of this DVD.

Awesome.

Had no problem getting it cheaper and faster than getting it straight from the distributor's site. I had a hell of a time dealing with Arts Alliance America. Order through Amazon unless you like dealing with no customer service and a higher price. As for the DVD, it was awesome. It was amazing to see how far breaking has come and the unbelievable tricks B-Boys are doing, from all over the world. Definitely worth checking out. Buy it, rent it, borrow it, but see it.

BBoying for Life.

Rating: 5
I have'nt seen it yet, but after watching the trailer, all I can say as a BBoy, is "The world needs to see real Hip Hop dancers."
My hat goes out to the people that made this possible. And to all the Bboys around the world...let's take this dance to the next level for the world to see.

Peace!!

Man, one of the best documentary I've ever seen. The filming, the character development, the storyline....and not to mention the breakdancing. It blows all crews I've ever seen away. Again, you guys wont be disappointed at all!!!

More Than a Highlight Reel....

Rating: 5
I saw this in New York when it played theatrically. I was skeptical at first that this wouldn't be anything more than a highlight reel but I quickly found out that's not true. Planet B-Boy delves into the subculture of b-boying (breakdancing) and shows that it's not only a hobby, it's a lifestyle. It follows crews from all over the world who are brought together by the love of expression by means of "B-Boying" and ultimately to the "World Series" of B-boying, "The Battle of the Year" which is an International competition featuring the best dance crews in the world. It is absolutely amazing to see these people defy the laws of gravity and do the physically impossible.
