DescriptionKopie van de film Wild Style, de eerste hip hop speelfilm, is uniek. De hoofdrolspelers, graffiti kunstenaars, rappers en hip hop dansers spelen hun eigen leven na. Graffitikunstenaar Lee Quinones heeft de hoofdrol naast hip hop grootheden als Grandmaster Flash, Fab Five Freddy, the Rock Steady Crew, Chief Rockers Busy Bee, Fantastic Five, Cold Crush Four, Double Trouble.
Wild Style was the first hip hop motion picture. Released independently in 1982 by First Run Features and later re-released for home video by Rhino Home Video, the movie featured actors like Fab Five Freddy, Lee Quinones, the Rock Steady Crew, The Cold Crush Brothers, Patti Astor, Sandra Fabara and Grandmaster Flash. The protagonist is the legendary New York graffiti artist "Lee" George Quinones as "Zoro". The "Wild Style" logo originally designed by TRACY168 on the film's cover was copied and applied by scenic painters Zephyr, Revolt and Sharp.
The film itself is unique in that the actors play roles that were designed to show exactly how they were in real life. The movie was given a loose storyline as a means of commercializing it, but the story is not the reason it is so highly regarded. It's the culmination of legendary hip hop icons being filmed in their emergence along with a profound documentation of a new budding sub-culture that draws people to this film.
