Title: Stayin' Alive...barely
Review: Saturday Night Fever is a classic, like it or not, but Stayin' Alive is a classic mistake. Of all the movies to make a sequel to, they had to pick the perfect snapshot of the 70's disco scene, 6 years later, and run it into the ground. The original had all the flare and excitement of the still-fresh era, and should have been left that way: fresh and exciting. Stayin' Alive bares no resemblance to the original other than the final scene and Tony's character. This movie takes the original and puts that special "80's touch" on it, turning the 2001 Odyssey into "Cats" and Tony Manero into "Rambo." You don't believe it? Look at the box! Did you look twice? I told you so. Stay away from Stayin' Alive, it will ruin your memories of Saturday Night Fever forever.
