News Release:
October 25, 1985: Michael Schultz's Krush Groove, featuring performances by Run-D.M.C., the Fat Boys, L.L. Cool J, Kurtis Blow, and the Beastie Boys-made on a $3 million budget-opens in 515 theaters nationwide and is cited as the No. 1 movie in America by Variety the following week. When a 17-year-old is thrown through a window after one New York screening, Krush Groove becomes the first to fall victim to the rap-movies-cause-violence paranoia that will grip the subgenre for the next decade.
