Try not to fall out of your chair when Lucia helps Turbo bust out of the hospital. The actors who played Lucia and Rhonda were both so bad that they had to be over-dubbed and the dub is absolutely laughable. The acting is hilarious, with two non-leads stealing every scene.
There's a constant tone of bonkers throughout these numbers and must be watched especially the surrounding extras. For most of us, we just check out during dance numbers as they are just a showcasing of people's abilities to move their butt around, but this is not that. It's really something of a special deal when a movie crams this much non-diegetic, metaphorical story-telling using dance as the device and still manages to contain as much mind-boggling nonsense within those dance sequences. Now that might scare off the casual bad-movie goer who is here for movies staring shirtless men with guns, but don't be afraid - this thing is electric dog-poo on fire.
There might be more more dance/musical numbers in this than Caberet and Chicago and Grease combined. There's so little happening but no one notices because it's masked by CONSTANT break dancing. Let's face it - this movie stinks and rules.
Shabadoo, Boogaloo Shrimp and a cast of break dancers team-up with Golan and Globus, pump out a movie in a handful of months and leave us with one of the most important and culturally infamous bad movies of all time.
