In a star-making turn for Channing Tatum (well, star-making to those who hadn't already seen his star-making turn in Amanda Bynes' finest hour She's the Man), the model turned actor used his legit dancing skills previously only seen in Florida strip clubs to dazzling effect.

What are all the step up movies movie#
Like the Friday the 13 th franchise before it, the first movie in the Step Up franchise is the outlier of the series in that both films' signature features weren't actually present yet (which, in the case of Friday, was Jason Voorhees, and in the case of Step Up was ACTUAL FUN). Allow us to explain with this simple primer. We can now add to this list 'hunks doing body-rolls' because with Step Up All In, everybody's favorite dance-movie franchise has finally unlocked this rarified achievement: a FIFTH theatrically released film! But for those who weren't already familiar with this very important series it can be hard to keep straight how all five seemingly stand-alone movies actually relate to one another (they do!). Typically that franchise needs to have visceral thrills of which an audience will never tire, things like car chases ( The Fast and the Furious), exploding viscera ( Final Destination, Saw, Resident Evil, A Nightmare on Elm Street), laserbeams ( Star Trek), or small black women shouting into bullhorns ( Police Academy). In an industry where sequels are the rule it's still surprisingly rare for a film franchise to make it to number 5. So how do all five movies relate to one another? We're here to explain. With this weekend's release of Step Up All In, the long-running dance movie franchise achieves the rarified milestone of a FIFTH theatrically released installment.
