Summary: Kill It Please!
Review: This horrendous sequel to "Saturday Night Fever" ends in one of the WORST production numbers ever filmed. Stallone turned what might have been a potentially interesting story into a dancing "Rocky" cliche. Sorry Sly but Broadway dancers are not boxers. The movie looks more ridiculous with those dated 80's fashion; terrible songs courtesy of Stallone's tone deaf brother Frank and the inmortal "Satan's Alley" which looks like Conan the Barbarian meets the S&M Cats on Mars! Bad movie lovers enjoy!

Summary: The title says it all!
Review: This is the story of Tony Manero nearly six years after what we saw him do in SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER. Tony(John Travolta) now lives in Manhattan(he was true to his word in the last scene of the first film) where he now teaches at a dancing school called Fatima's Danceland. Cynthia Rhodes,the real-life Mrs. Richard Marx,is Jackie Cole,Tony's girlfriend. Finola Hughes is Laura Revell,a British beauty who is half-bitchy and another love interest of Tony's. Steve Inwood is Jesse,a choreographer. After seeing a broadway show starring Jackie and Laura,Tony comes to Laura's dressing rooms and compliments her performance. Laura tells Tony about Satan's Alley,an upcoming play which they and Jackie would appear in in the last scene of the film. Tony becomes so fed up with Laura that he loses interest in her and reconciles with Jackie,who's a band's lead singer. One of Jackie's bandmates is Carl(Frank Stallone),a rhythm guitarist who Tony suspected Jackie of having an affair with. This film was directed by Hollywood great Sylvester Stallone(he and Frank are brothers) who also co-wrote the screenplay and has a cameo during the opening credits. The soundtrack features 5 new songs written and recorded by the Bee Gees plus a recycling of STAYIN' ALIVE(only the film title carries the G). We hear Frank performing FAR FROM OVER,a hit from the soundtrack album,during the opening credits,MOODY GIRL and NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP,his duet with Rhodes. Rhodes recorded FINDING OUT THE HARD WAY solo. Memorable scenes from the film include Tony and Laura riding in a horse-drawn carriage through Central Park,Tony walking from Manhattan to his mother's Brooklyn home(in the process,he walked on the Brooklyn Bridge and past the 2001 Odyssey nightclub which was part of the set of the first film), and Tony at Laura's pre-Christmas party which Jesse was also a guest. Another memorable scene was the very last,where Tony happily struts through Times Square after the hit performance of Satan's Alley(Tony's mother was in the audience). That's where,when Tony's movement freezes,the end credits roll and the full 4 minute and 42 second version of STAYIN' ALIVE is heard. The Stallone brothers previously worked together in the 3 Rocky films made before this one. The only co-star of Travolta's from the first film to appear in the sequel is the late Julie Bovasso who played Florence Manero,Tony's mother. This was a handful of dancing films released in the early 80's,the others being FAME and FLASHDANCE. Inwood also appeared in FAME. This film was not as successful as its predecessor. Take note that Tony is no longer the chain-smoking trashmouth that he was in the first film. He even pumped himself up,probably inspired by the director,whose legendary character Rocky Balboa was pumped-up also.

Summary: I WONDER IF THE PEOPLE WHO HATE IT SAW THE SAME MOVIE
Review: This movie got terrible reveiws as a back lash to Stallone. John Travolta was never before and will never be again as hot as he was in this movie. The dancing made Saturday Night Fever look like a home movie by comparision. The story was great and the music deserves a second listen. The only surprise was that Cynthia Rhodes never really had the career that this movie suggests she should have had.

Summary: Charter member of the Unintentionally Funny Hall of Fame
Review: This movie is so bad it's HYSTERICAL... quite simply, Staying Alive is the best unintentionally funny film of all time (edging out also-rans like "Cocktail" and "Duets"). The dance sequences alone are enough to have you doubled over with laughter. The musical finale (Satan's Alley - a "musical trip through hell") is so mind-numbingly bad it has to be seen to be believed. I highly recommend this DVD to anyone who needs a good laugh.

Summary: 80's dribble with Sly behind the camera
Review: Uh...uh...like....watching you dance.....it's like watching...you know...like smoke rising.This is the dialogue you have to look forward to in 'Staying Alive'. Sylvestor Stallone directs and Frank Stallone contributes to the soundtrack. Sly's cameo is nothing more than 'sucker bumping' Travolta on a crowded New York street. Our hero learns that there is more to dancing on Broadway than jiggling around in a disco. If you can imagine taking the movie 'Rocky' and flipping it on it's ear from a boxer to a dancer, than I need explain no more. The finale is laughable as he premiers on Broadway. ***Of special note*** John Travolta is at his most muscular in this film. Slyvestor Stallone himself was his training coach at the gym.

Summary: Peeeeeeeeeeee-uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!
Review: What a wasted opportunity. That's what happens when you give the chance of a lifetime- the chance to complete the story of "Saturday Night Fever"- to the director of "Over the Top" and "Cobra". Evem Travola should be "Tskked" over his acting, much less his involvement, in this pitifully conceived, horribly written movie full of going through the motions acting. I suppose Travolta does his best with a rotten script, but this movie doesn't answer so many questions from the first movie that could have made for an excellent story- in spite of a pointless acting bit by Manero's mom from the original. Terrible music doesn't hold a candle to "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack. The "Rocky" theme song would have been more appropriate during the audition scenes. But frankly, not many sequals do capture the same magic of their predecessors- Godfather aside. Don't waste your time.

Summary: A PRODUCER WHO DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DANCE!
Review: Why couldn't the movie have been like Saturday Night Fever? They could have bought all the people that play in the first movie. Why did Sylester direct it? They should have had the first producer for Fever to direct STAYIN ALIVE.
