Legacy The subtitle `` Electric Boogaloo '', originally a reference to a funk - oriented dance style of the same name, has entered the pop - culture lexicon as a snowclone pejorative nickname to denote an archetypical sequel. The usual connotation is of either a ridiculous sequel title, or of the follow - up to an obscure or eclectic movie ( or other work ). It was used by Wil Wheaton as a subtitle as a plug for his radio show. The band Five Iron Frenzy titled one of their albums Five Iron Frenzy 2 : Electric Boogaloo. An episode of the television show It 's Always Sunny in Philadelphia was titled `` Chardee MacDennis 2 : Electric Boogaloo ''. Other news articles and media have used the Electric Boogaloo subtitle, and it has also become an Internet meme. A documentary about the Cannon Group was released in 2014 called Electric Boogaloo : The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films of which Breakin ' and Breakin ' 2 were featured.
