- GoofsAt the final battle where Julien takes 2 of his crew members as dogs with chains, he once wears his jacket, the next shot he stands there without it and so on.
- Crazy creditsAt the beginning of the end credits there's a scene in which Jay Franco (aka J-Smooth) sits on a chair and performs an impressive catalog of finger tutting moves

Featured review
The whole franchise is just about a group of street dancers dancing in the street?! Obviously, the plot isn't what we are here to watch. The only reason anyone even see this franchise is because they want to see some dancing. Acting, plot, story-telling, and writing, screw all of that. The only thing they need is a good choreographer and a director who specializes in dancing. Jon Chu is the correct choice since he directed the first Step Up and he did a fine job on this one also. The eye-popping 3D is what I like in particular to this. Adding in the 3D is a very risky but also right move. Everyone loves to see a dancing film in 3D! Aside from the bad acting, no plot, and the improvised dialogue, Step Up 3D is the best dancing film of the year.
