4.0 out of 5 stars Good purchase if you don't own this classic on DVD, December 2, 2007

By	Dorrie Wheeler - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Alright, February 13, 2008

By	Joanne Wilkinson (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cudda been betta', December 2, 2007

By	Edward J. Rosario "K-Wiz" (The Birth Of Hip Hop, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!
