Product Description
The 25th Anniversary of Wild Style offers this Special Edition DVD of the first original hip hop movie with new bonus extras. Wild Style was filmed on location in the South Bronx without permits or pretensions. Boasting an amazing cast of hip hop pioneers such as Grand Master Flash The Chief Rocker Busy Bee The Cold Crush and The Rock Steady Crew Wild Style tells the story of an outlaw artist Zoro (played by legendary writer LEE Quinones) in a subway art romance with Ladybug (played by legendary writer Sandra PINK Fabara). Fab 5 Freddy plays the smooth impressario PHADE. From the train yard scenes to the basketball musical from the hip hop clubs to the climax at the greatest outdoor jam in history Wild Style has proven itself to the ultimate hip hop classic.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA/RACY UPC: 603497988365 Manufacturer No: 988365

 Classic June 8, 2008
For my boyfriend who grew up in NYC during heavy hip-hop times, this film is a must have.

This movie is alright. It's great to watch only because it's from that era. If you're really looking for a good film, watch Style Wars. That is a classic and it goes into depth about graffiti, breaking and hip hop. The acting in this movie sucks, but it's kind of cool to see some of the renouned artists. Rent on Netflix and only buy if you like to collect stuff from this period.
 Good purchase if you don't own this classic on DVD December 2, 2007
Wild Style is considered to be the first hip-hop film. Rhino has released a special 25th anniversary edition of the film. "Wild Style" was before "Breakin'" and "Beat Streat." This 1982 film was about the hip-hop culture of early 1980's New York. The movie filmed in the South Bronx captures that gritty graffiti era that birthed rap music. The filmed starred Fab Five Freddy, The Cold Crush Brothers, Grand Master Flash and The Chief Rocker Busy Bee. The film really captures the graffiti culture of that era.
The 25th anniversary edition includes new bonus features and interviews. If you are a fan of the annual VH-1 Awards Show, "Hip-Hop Honors," pick up "Wild Style" and school yourself on old school hip-hop.

Still a great hip hop movie...but I would've liked to see what hit the cutting room floor...behind the scenes...more of the performances that were editted. The reunion was nice but even that was too short. Hey Mr. Ahearn, do the fans a favor and put out a DVD of JUST THE PERFORMANCES!!! That DVD would fly off of the shelves!
 Could do better for a 25th anniversary DVD! November 27, 2007

I rate this one star; not for the movie itself but purely for the actual DVD (packaging, presentation, etc).
For a 25th anniversary edition release, it could be better. It's been packaged in nothing but a regular DVD case, not even a booklet inside which would have been nice, perhaps showing still images from the movie or photos of graffiti.
The people behind releasing this DVD could have come better, aside from the additional features there's nothing about it that screams 'special edition'. Pretty disappointed. It doesn't do this movie the justice it deserves for it's 25th anniversary.
