Describe Wild Style was the first hip hop motion picture. Released
theatrically in 1983 by First Run Features and later re-released for
home video by Rhino Home Video, the movie was directed by Charlie Ahearn (director of the
feature films Deadly Art of Survival and Fear of Fiction) and featured Fab Five Freddy, Lee
Quinones, the Rock Steady Crew, The Cold Crush Brothers, Patti
Astor, Sandra Fabara and Grandmaster Flash. The protagonist "Zoro" is played by the
legendary New York graffiti artist "Lee" George Quinones. An early
version of the 'Wild Style' logo appeared in the Fall of 1981 when
Charlie Ahearn hired graffiti legend Dondi to paint the 'window down'
subway car piece that appears in the film (1). The Dondi piece
was the inspiration for the animated title sequence designed by the
artist Zephyr
in 1982 (2). The 'Wild Style' logo was designed by Zephyr and painted
as a huge 'burner' mural by Zephyr, Revolt, and Sharp in the Summer of
1983 (3). The film is unique in that many of the actors' roles were
written to express their real-life personalities.
