Wild Style -Released on March 18, 1983 this movie directed by Charlie Ahern and starred graffiti writer George "Lee" Quinones and Hip Hop icon Fab Five Freddy. This movie had cameos by Cold Crush Brothers, Rock Steady Crew, Grandmaster Flash and Busy Bee. Some of the memorable scenes in the movie is Double Trouble (Rodney C, KK Rockwell) "Here's a little story that must be told" on the steps and Grandmaster Flash doing his thing in the kitchen. But for many it must be the Fantastic Freaks versus the Cold Crush Brothers on the basketball court with the memorable line "Eat ya ass up like a steak an take"
