What happens

Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo is a 1984 American breakdancing musical film directed by Sam Firstenberg that is a sequel to Breakin', released seven months earlier the same year by the same producers, The Cannon Group. In markets where the earlier film was titled Breakdance, the sequel was released as Breakdance 2: Electric Boogaloo. Another sequel, Rappin' (also known as Breakdance 3), was produced but with an unconnected plot and different lead characters; only Ice-T appears in all three films. The subtitle "Electric Boogaloo" has entered the popular-culture lexicon as a snowclone nickname to denote an archetypal sequel. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
