Summary: Good actors, bad story
Review: I think this movie would have been a hit if the story would have been different. Cynthia Rhodes plays Tony's passive yet sweet girlfriend, Finola Hughes plays Tony's famous and successful obsession. Tony is seeing Rhodes at the beginning of the movie, then starts cheating on her with Hughes, who plays a good, uh, bee with an itch. :) If that sounds dumb, sorry, but I doubt amazon.com wants the actual word spelled out! Anyway, Rhodes follows Tony around like a newborn puppy and accepts whatever he dishes out. Though likable, she is a little bit pathetic. Hughes plays a character one just has to love to hate! There is so much chemistry between her and Travolta I almost hoped he would choose her. As for the Broadway finale, I loved it! A friend who is a ballet dancer points out he really doesn't dance much, just spins around and jumps, but from a shallow point of view, HE IS HOT! Hughes is great, as is Rhodes, though she is rarely shown dancing. If you want to see her dance, watch Dirty Dancing. She plays Penny, the instructor who got into "trouble". As for the rest of SA, it bothered me that none of Tony's old friends were mentioned. We see his mother, but they don't talk about the family or how Tony coped with his friend's suicide. And where was his girlfriend from Fever?! Good movie, but horrible writing!

Review: I thought I was the only one who loved this movie..the dance scenes were fabulous as well as the music..it does of course leave you wondering about his friends from the past but I think we realize that he is trying to break away from his past...The ending I have to say is the best part!!!!

Summary: Hey I thought it was a good Saturday Night Fever Sequel
Review: In this 1983 Saturday Night Fever sequel film where the original phenomenon left off. It's where Tony Manero the disco dancer kingpin from Brooklyn played by John Travolta. Is set to face his next challenge destiny to become a broadway stage dancing star after six years of his new york boogie nightclub days there. It was directed by Sylvester Stallone star of the three Rocky movies and Lords of The Flatbush.Makes a brief cameo apperence here as the guy in sunglasses waling down the streets. At lease it's one of my favorite movies of all time!

Summary: Truly Bad
Review: Is it possible to give a movie -1 star?, if so then I'd like to nominate this movie. I really find it hard to believe that way back in 1983 I actually went to see this 3 times, I must have been out of my mind.
With the possible exception of Two Of A Kind this is without a doubt the worst movie JT has ever made, embarrassingly funny and ridiculously over the top but then everything was truly godawful and hideous in the 80's. The sweaty legwarmers and headbands etc etc etc are look so dated that...oh I can't go on.
Just stay away.
Saturday Night Fever might not be the best movie ever made but it is so much better than this and boy don't the 70's look so good even now, JT was sexy, the music was fantastic and NY never looked so good. I used to copy the scene at home where he was grooming his hair all the time when I was 14 and when I had hair!
This however is just too crap for words and helped to sink JT's career. If this was cake then Two Of A Kind and Perfect were the icing. Don't get me wrong I really like JT and he's a fine actor and remarkable human being whom I have admired since I was 13 but this shouldn't have even been made, instead the legacy of Saturday Night Fever should have been left in that glorious year of 1977.
Enogh Said.

Summary: GREAT MOVIE!
Review: No matter what the "critics" say, I love this movie and always will. The dancing and music are superb, although "Satan's Alley" is hideous -- from the costumes to the music to the choreography. John Travolta is one of my all-time favorite actors and SNF one of my all time favorite films. While Travolta is clearly not a trained Broadway Dancer, he holds his own due to slick photographic angles that enhance his moves. Additionally, he is one heck of an actor! Finola Hughes is a beautiful and talented dancer -- she is absolutely breathtaking to behold. I can't help but wonder where she is today and what she is doing. She plays the Karen Gorney (Stephanie Mangano) type of woman, albeit more vain, arrogant, and affluent. The man who plays Mark (her lover who is shown briefly when Travolta shows up at her apartment building unexpectedly) resembles a Lab Rat/Count Dracula. Cynthia Rhodes is a wonderful dancer and singer and displays quite a bit of acting range given the limitations of her character. Rhodes portrays the "downtrodden female" stuck on Travolta. Her role mimics that of Donna Pescow's in "Saturday Night Fever" Like Pescow, she is long suffering and permits Travolta to walk all over her. I got a huge kick out of Frank Stallone. I don't know why, but he makes me laugh just watching him! I love the line where Travolta tells Rhodes that Stallone looks like a demented fighter pilot! It is hilarious because that is exactly what Stallone looks like to me! I also enjoyed the person who played the role of the Director of Satan's Alley -- he is such a bundle of nerves and arrogance! What a Goober! He smoked so much, I can't help but wonder about his lungs today! OK, I could have done without viewing all the smoking, but it IS a fact that many dancers and performers smoke for weight control and this movie was filmed at a time when cigarette use was ubiquitous and freely portrayed in film. But I could not help but feel choked when all the tobacco smoke was flying around the dancers who were obviously working aerobically. All this said, why do I love this movie? The Bee Gees songs, the dancing (especially that of Finola Hughes), the glamour and glitz, John Travolta, and that demented fighter pilot, Frank Stallone. No doubt this is a shallow sequel to "Saturday Night Fever" -- I would have liked to know what happened to some of the main characters in SNF. But despite all the flaws and kitsch, I love this movie! I love the dancing and the music and continue to view this movie again and again!

Summary: It is so bad it is funny!!!
Review: Oh God, I'm still laughing and laughing at this horrible movie after seeing it for the first time a few hours ago. E-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g is kitsch and silly here. One of the worst movies ever made without a doubt, this film has the ugliest dance scenes I ever saw in my entire life as a movie fan. What the hell is that Broadway "musical"? Satan's Alley? Shoulda have been the name of the movie (LOL)!

Summary: Not Good Enough to be A Guilty Pleasure
Review: Oiy! What was Travolta to do? People were clammering for a sequel to "Saturday Night Fever." Honest, they were. Someone got the great idea of letting Sylvester Stallone write and direct this project. What came out of this mess was a hit single "Far From Over," which strangely enough came from a struggling singer named Frank Stallone. Any relation? You betcha! Travolta went through a great workout and had a sculpted body. I guess it was Rambo: the Musical. The sloppy story is predictable, and the finale production number makes "Showgirls" finale an outstandiong piece of theater. This could have been more. Fever was the ultimate film of the 1970s. What this is simply a complete waste of talent. The score, some songs by the Bee Gees, is even disappointing. Maybe it should be retitled, "Saturday Night Sickness." Sooo lame.

Summary: Pathetic
Review: Pathetic. That is the only word I can use to describe this film. The writing left a lot to be desired, particularly any real link to the original film, "Saturday Night Fever". In addition, the dancing was completely unprofessional and a disgrace to anyone who has ever been a dancer. Unless you are really interested in seeing John Travolta in a leotard, I wouldn't recommend you waste your time with this one.
