Krush Groove comin' out on DVD Jan. 14, 2003

The legendary 1985 hip-hop-themed movie "Krush Groove" is set for its first release on DVD Jan. 14 via Warner Home Video. Extras include the video for the song "Krush Groovin" (performed by the Fat Boys, Sheila E, and Kurtis Blow), the original theatrical trailer, and commentary by actor Blair Underwood, director Michael Schultz, and Source magazine senior editor Brett Johnson.

The movie is based on the life of rap impresario Russell Simmons and the early days of hip-hop culture emerging in New York. It features Underwood starring alongside artists including Run-D.M.C., the Beastie Boys, the Fat Boys, LL Cool J, Kurtis Blow, and New Edition.

FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY!

Shelia was cool in this, although her performance of "Love Bizarre" was a little piss weak, but made up for it with "Holly Rock" at the end of the movie.

4 sure I'll be gettin' this

This is excellent news!!!
I guess a remastered CD with bonus-cuts ("Holly Rock" extended version) can't be too far away now...

Man, ever since I got this movie back in '86 I used to watch it and "Purple Rain" every day right after I got home from school... To great dissatisfaction of my parents...

Both of those titles are available, they just don't come with any special features.

it didn't age well at all.interesting LL Cool J&Russell Simmons are both still going strong.you know a Label Head would last but a Rapper from that Competitive time period still in the Game? that speaks Volumes for LL no matter what side of the fence you are on with His Work.The Fat Boys in the Cafeteria still cracks me up.but Shelia E.was brought in for Star Power at the time."POP Appeal".just like New Edition.

You gotta be kidding! "Breakin" was silly and corny,but "Beat Street" was great.It actually had a real storyline too.Although I admit,a few of the songs were dumb...

I've never seen "Wild Style" but I heard it's one of the first hip-hop movies and it came out in 1982.I'm sure it's great but can it REALLY top "Beat Street"? smile

In the movie Breakin' if you know where to look you can see Jean-Claude Van Damme (quite possibly the worst actor ever) as an uncredited extra. He's dancing in a crowd in one of the street scenes.

I just love finding famous people in roles before they were famous.

I was gonna ditto the "you gotta be kiddin" line but now that you mentioned Jean-Claude...you've really gotta be kiddin!

Man, Beat Street is classic 80s movie. I have tried to get this one from the vid store but they just look at me as if I'm some sort of refugee from a bizzare place.

BTW, wasn't there a book of the "Breakin" movie where they had step by step instructions for doing each of their moves???
In a couple of hundred years historians may discover that Prince's lyrics were written by Christopher Marlowe.
