Luckily Sean knows everybody’s favorite STEP UP character, the gawky, Michael Jackson influenced Moose (Adam Sevani, who only had a cameo in the last one), and Moose calls Andie and other people they met in part 2 such as The Santiago Twins (Facundo and Martin Lombard), Jenny Kido (Mari Koda) and Vladd (Chadd Smith), the guy that does all the robot dancing and who for all we know is an actual robot. It’s a big glitzy Vegas show with a pop star host (Izabella Miko, Athena from CLASH OF THE TITANS) who seems like she was kidnapped from the world of HUNGER GAMES. after getting to do a Nike commercial at the end of the last one, but since then they’ve had trouble finding work and they all give up and leave, so he has to put together a new crew to enter yet another big dance competition, this one for a VH1 game show called The Vortex. Sean and his crew The Mob moved from Miami to L.A.
#WHAT ARE ALL THE STEP UP MOVIES IS MOOSE IN SERIES#
For the first time the previous chapter’s bland dude, Sean (Ryan Guzman), returns as the lead, but this time they team him with the much more charismatic Andie (Briana Evigan, SORORITY ROW), not seen in the series since she was the star of STEP UP 2 THE STREETS (the only really female-centric chapter, even though all of them are either directed or written by women). The original STEP UP starred a pre-mainstream-acceptance Channing Tatum, but each of the sequels has had an increasingly bland male lead. I’m happy to report that I liked part 5, STEP UP ALL IN, a little better than the last one, although admittedly they sorta cheat and do it by rehashing parts 2 and 3 and bringing back favorite characters for more than just cameos this time. Because the transcendence of dance or whatever.
Part 4, REVOLUTION, was not quite as good but I liked it, it had people dancing on bouncing cars and a ridiculous plot about using flash mob dancing as a tool of political protest and at the end Peter Gallagher thanked the guy for practically humping his daughter on stage in front of him.
The first one is enjoyable dumb melodrama, then the second is a surprisingly good and clever sequel, and the third is even better. Okay, in only one way: I like all of them. It’s like the DEATH WISH series in many ways. It may be shameful but it’s no secret that I’m a fan of the STEP UP series.
