He Got Me at “Hey Ho”

Who would you rather share a corndog with? Turbo from “Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo” OR Number Five from “Short Circuit 2?” Let’s break it down.
Turbo, fo’sho! Seeing that he is an upstanding humanitarian who happens to feel “the dance.” Surely you remember the captivating plot: he and his fellow youths attempt to raise money to save their community club from being destroyed and replaced by a multi-million dollar shopping mall…much unlike Number 5 who is sent from Newton and Stephanie's ranch to the “big city” to help Ben with his electronics business and starts hanging out with the wrong crowd who wants to turn him into cashola.
But dare ye judge based on movie plot alone …there are other obvious reasons why Turbo is worthy of half a wiener.
Exhibit A: Hair
Turbo sports some tight-ass Jerry Curl (let your soul glooow… gotta love a hairstyle that represents AND moisturizes) and a cool headband (a la John McEnroe).
Number Five has tread and some lame metal fly swatter eyelids.
Exhibit B: Cool Co-Stars
Turbo…What-What?! Did someone hear some name droppin’ ova heya? OZONE (boom!), Ice-T (Bam!)… Hispanic Man, Juggler, Bulldozer Driver (take that)!
Number 5 just hung out with some crazy Indian who sported a beard.
Exhibit C: Movie Tag Lines
Electric Boogaloo says: “If you can't beat the system, break it!”
Short Circuit says: “Some say he's nuts. Some say he's bolts. But can Number Five make it in the big, bad city? Keep your wires crossed.” <<--ok, that’s friggin’ US premium grade humor right there!
In conclusion, I believe in the beat that's on the street - it’s hoppin' and poppin' and they're breakin' and lockin'.
ON TAP:
This weekend is the 30th Annual ATLANTA GREEK FESTIVAL…good food, crazy dancing, lots of napkins and plate breaking!
