Historically, Videogum doesn’t actually post “exclusive” content. (Sometimes we say that we have an exclusive first look at, like, a Hungry Hungry Hippos screenplay, but we don’t really, and I apologize for any confusion we may have caused with this joke.) The reason that we have avoided this kind of content in the past is because this kind of content is always garbage. It’s a publicist sending you a NOTHING clip that you have to pretend is SOMETHING in return for free advertising that no one is going to actually pay any attention to. Cool? Cool deal! I’m not sure who created this marketing strategy, but it’s odd. Even 12-year-old girls are not fooled by this strategy, so maybe we should all agree that this is not actually a functional strategy. And let’s also be clear on this: you might be disappointed by the clip posted after the jump. Be an adult about it. Don’t click if you don’t want. Or deal with your disappointment in a mature and reasonable manner if you do click. But when we were offered the chance to share an exclusive clip from the new Step Up movie, Step Up Revolution, in theaters this weekend, we aerial-ed at the chance. (Good one, Gabe.) I’m not joking! We love these movies! The world would be a better place if everything was resolved through AGGRESSIVE DANCE BATTLES. Like I said, maybe you won’t like this clip. That’s fine, I get it. But the robot guy is back. Also that dorky kid who is so good at dancing. And Mr. Cohen from The O.C. So dope.
When did shipyard shipping containers become SUCH a thing?! Think about it:
Batman Begins
The A-Team
The Wire
Contraband
Transporter
Hanna
The Adventures of TinTin
Right? It’s a thing! In any case: Step Up Revolution! Or as Nick Kroll would have it: Occupy Dance Street!

Wait, wait, I’m behind! When did Step Up: Reloaded come out? And also, did it have dancing albino twins?
the dancing twins was in step up 3
is the dancing cops thing a nod to Magic Mike?
Naw, dog. That’s just how they place you under arrest down by the A1A.
Or Cop Rock?
I assume everything is a least an indirect not to Cop Rock
Hot cops! Hot mob! Let’s put them all in tearaway pants!
Ok lets all go dancing tonight.
What the hell was that?
Sure, Occupy Dance Street would have been good, but they really should have called it Step Up 4 Your Rights
“Let us celebrate Miami culture the best way we know how — with a group of white cops robotically firing their guns into a crowd.”
“Where does he get all those wonderful boys?” -The Joker, from The Dark Knight Dances (this made sense to me a few seconds ago)
Speaking of the dorky kid who’s so good at dancing*, I’m still trying to figure out why he kept spitting out/coughing up dust during that scene. Like on 2-3 separate occasions. Can someone please get that kid some water?
I’ve never seen a Step Up movie but after watching this clip I ran out to my local video store and rented all of them
I keep telling guys that I’m casting a movie called Occupy My Pants but that doesn’t seem to be an effective pick up line for some reason?
Sorry. This has nothing to do with anything, and I apologize to all of you for interrupting your life. But am I the only person that can’t see this sidebar advertisement without seeing the word “DONG” repeatedly and feeling like a middle schooler?
Honestly. I’ve put some thought into this in the last 60 seconds and I think Bing could possibly completely recover themselves if they changed their motto to “BING DONG!”.
hahaha, Summer of Dong indeed, that dog is going to get hella laid
spekaing of ads am I the only one with celebuzz ads talking about how 15 fifteen year old girls are “babes”? if not who the hell are those ads supposed to appeal to and why would you assume those people would visit this site?
I haven’t seen those, so I think they’re just trying to appeal to you?
: (
ugh, why am I assumed to be a pedophile? Racism??
apparently it’s buzznet not celebuzz for clarity
Can someone tell Gabe to get rid of the obnoxious Celebuzz ad with the bikini’d pair of boobs? I feel so self-conscious at work when I’m on this site, not only because of the boobs, but because my boss walks by and KNOWS I’m on the internet and not working. But the ad, that needs to get fixed. My internet addiction can wait.
I agree. This needs to be replaced with an advertisement that looks like an accounting spreadsheet.
Not since Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo has the genre been so effectively embodied. If the characters are dancing to save their youth center, my money is theirs.
I run a small pop culture website too and in general I agree with Gabe’s assessment of exclusives and the relationship bloggers and writers have with publicists. But why does Videogum have to be so apologetic about the situation? How is this any different than the giveaways y’all do all the time? Are you afraid people will think you’re sell outs? Anyone who accuses you of selling out is probably in middle school; we know that Vgum isn’t a not for profit blog. The purpose of this site is to sell out (or advertising anyway), in a manner of speaking. Okay, I’m ranting, but my point is why make all the big fuss and start with the self deprecation and literally apologize to your readers for giving them the option of viewing exclusive content. Most bloggers LOVE to write that big all caps EXCLUSIVE on top of a headline. We like it so much that most of the time it’s not even true.
I didn’t realize Videogum was so insecure! Channing Tatum’s character in Step Up didn’t apologize to anyone, he just stepped up and represented his block and did whatever he wanted and danced like it was nobody’s business but his own because it wasn’t (I’ve never seen the movie but that sounds right). That’s what Videogum should be like. “Hey, EXCLUSIVE CLIP FROM STEP UP! Deal with it, b words.” I think Videogum readers have figured out by now that this website is a website. They can probably deal with you using exclusive material from a publicist about a movie you want to see.
i don’t think i could relate to a blog that didn’t loathe itself
