An absurd dance finale provides some chaotic brilliance and Travolta's charisma still shines through despite an awfully dim storyline. But it doesn't come close to matching Saturday Night Fever. Directed by Sylvester Stallone (who even has a cringeworthy cameo), you can spot the crumbs of a Rocky movie that just don't belong.
Movies are full of purehearted dreamers who overcome formidable obstacles through talent, will, and a ferocious determination never to give up, no matter how bleak things might look, and Saturday Night Fever, to its eternal credit, is not one of those movies. Staying Alive, however, to its eternal detriment, most assuredly is. It shamelessly embraces all of the hoary show business and dance movie cliches its predecessor boldly eschewed.
Badham said that he "did his research" before making Saturday Night Fever, visiting discos all over New York City to create the one seen in the movie. Meanwhile, Travolta took charge of Tony's look, originally preferring a black suit-and-white shirt combination as opposed to the world-famous white polyester suit everyone remembers. (That suit was later purchased by the late film critic, Gene Siskel, for $2,000. Years later, he sold it for $145,000 at a Christie's auction.)
REBECCA CLARK-CALLENDER Yeah, right about there is where I cover my eyes. And that's just the trailer for the 2017 horror movie It. Horror films in general, not just that particular killer clown are not my thing. But earlier this year, I learned there's a subgenre "Black horror," and honestly, that confused me. Moving through the world in a Black body can provide more than enough fright, and I never really felt the need to see that on screen. I did see Jordan Peele's films Get Out and Us and more recently Nia DaCosta's Candyman and liked them. But I saw those as exceptions to the rule, not part of a larger category. So what is Black horror?
REBECCA CLARK-CALLENDER It's important to note here these films have problems. Blacula had some incredibly homophobic language, and Black women were still often hypersexualized. But blaxploitation movies began a decades long wave of Black horror films that could be pure entertainment and or convey something bigger. And in 1995, a movie came out that is now considered a cult classic: Tales from the Hood.

Apparently, some villains and other characters have discovered the secret to staying alive even after they've visibly died a horrible, gruesome death. Explanation? Apparently, they don't need one. Maybe they're just too badass for death itself. Maybe they bought the advanced Contractual Immortality plan which also includes death insurance, Or maybe they're just too tough for Hell to contain, Or maybe you were only Fighting a Shadow and only succeeded in driving them back to hell for a while, or they are Only Killable at Home. Either way, they're given a full Snap Back from the dead at the start of the next episode, game, or season, and all the audience can do is accept the fact that they're back and at it again!
Throughout much of his early career, Stallone was heavily involved creatively in his own projects and served as director on Rocky 2, Rocky 3 and Rocky 4 - which got a director's cut in 2021 - in addition to acting in movies like First Blood. Most of the films Stallone has helmed have been sequels, but the odd one out of his directing CV is definitely Staying Alive. This 1983 dance drama is a sequel to Saturday Night Fever, with John Travolta reprising his role as former disco king Tony Manero.
It's pronounced Paw-rick, not Pad-raig. Now that's out of the way, a brief introduction. Padraig has been writing about film online since 2012, when a friend asked if he'd like to contribute the occasional review or feature to their site. A part-time hobby soon blossomed into a career when he discovered he really loved writing about movies, TV and video games; he even (arguably) had a little bit of talent for it. He has written words for Den of Geek, Collider, The Irish Times and Screen Rant over the years, and can discuss anything from the MCU - where Hawkeye is clearly the best character - to the most obscure cult b-movie gem, and his hot takes often require heat resistant gloves to handle. He's super modern too, so his favorite movies include Jaws, Die Hard, The Thing, Ghostbusters and Batman.
Thankfully over the decades there have been a lot of songs made for movies that have worked. And not just on the screen but also as standalone tracks. Many made-for-movies-songs went on to win Oscars, Grammys, or have been sewn into the fabric of pop culture. Think Ray Parker Jr.'s "Ghostbusters" theme song, Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" for "Titanic," or Idina Menzel's "Let It Go" for "Frozen." 2ff7e9595c
