Saturday
Night Fever is a 1977 film starring John Travolta
as Tony Manero, a young man, coming of age, whose
weekend activities are visits to a local Brooklyn
discothèque and Karen Lynn Gorney as his
dance partner and eventual girlfriend. While in
the disco, Tony is the king, his care-free youth
and weekend dancing help him to temporarily forget
the reality of his life: a dead-end job, clashes
with his unsupportive and squabbling parents,
racial tensions in the local community, and his
associations with a gang of immature friends.
A huge commercial success, the movie significantly
helped to popularize disco music around the world
and made Travolta a household name. The Saturday
Night Fever soundtrack, featuring disco songs
by the Bee Gees, is among the best selling soundtracks
of all time. The film is also notable for being
one of the first instances of cross-media marketing,
with the tie-in soundtrack's single being used
to help promote the film before its release and
the film popularizing the entire soundtrack after
its release.
The story is based upon a 1976 New York magazine
article by British writer Nik Cohn, "Tribal
Rites of the New Saturday Night." In the
late-1990s, Cohn acknowledged that the article
had been fabricated. A newcomer to the United
States and a stranger to the disco lifestyle,
Cohn was unable to make any sense of the subculture
he had been assigned to write about. The characters
who became Tony Manero and his friends were based
on Mods, an English youth movement that also placed
great importance on music, clothes and dancing.
The film also showcased aspects of the music,
the dancing, and the subculture surrounding the
disco era: symphony-orchestrated melodies, haute-couture
styles of clothing, sexual promiscuity, and graceful
choreography.
Versions
and sequel
Two
theatrical versions of the film were released:
the Original R-rated version and an Edited PG-rated
version. The R-rated version released in 1977
represented the movie's first run, and totaled
118 minutes. After the success of the first run,
in 1978 the film was re-edited in a PG-rated version
and re-released during a second run to attract
a youthful audience. The R-rated version contained
profanity (the word "fuck" was used
44 times), nudity, drug use and a rape scene which
were all de-emphasised or completely removed from
the PG version.
The retooled PG-rated version totaled 112 minutes,
and featured some deleted content. Numerous profanity-filled
scenes were replaced with alternate versions of
the same scenes that substituted milder language,
initially intended for the network television
cut. Other PG-inappropriate scenes were simply
shortened or edited altogether. To maintain runtime,
a few deleted scenes were added (including Tony
dancing with Doreen to "Disco Duck"
and Tony running his finger along the cables of
the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge).
Both theatrical versions were released on VHS,
but only the R-rated version has been released
on Laserdisc and later on widescreen DVD. The
special edition DVD releases include some of the
deleted scenes present in the PG version. Starting
in the late 1990s VH1 and TNT started showing
the original R-rated version with a TV-14 rating.
The nudity was edited, but the cut included some
of the innuendos from the original film.
A December 2002 ABC network television version,
based largely on the PG version, contains several
minutes of outtakes normally excised from the
theatrical releases. It is among the longest cuts
of the film.
A blu-ray edition was released on May 5, 2009
in the United States and was released across Europe
the following week.
A sequel, Staying Alive, was released in 1983.
It starred John Travolta and was directed by Sylvester
Stallone. (Staying Alive was rated PG; it also
pre-dated the introduction of the PG-13 rating.)
Remake
In
2009, it was announced that a remake was in the
works by Simon Cowell, which would star Zac Efron
as Tony Manero. R&B artist Timbaland was also
signed on to record The Bee Gees classics for
the soundtrack.

Trivia
Lists of miscellaneous information should be avoided.
Please relocate any relevant information into
appropriate sections or articles. (June 2007)
Saturday Night Fever was the favorite movie of
the late film critic Gene Siskel, who claimed
to have seen it 17 times. He liked the movie so
much, he bought the famous white disco suit (worn
by Travolta in the movie) at a charity auction
for $17,000.
Fran Drescher's film debut.
According to the DVD commentary for this movie,
the producers intended to use the song "Lowdown"
by Boz Scaggs for use in the rehearsal scene between
Tony and Annette in the dance studio, and choreographed
their dance moves to the song. However, representatives
for Scaggs' label, Columbia Records, refused to
grant legal clearance for it, as they wanted to
pursue another disco movie project, which never
materialized. Composer David Shire, who scored
the film, had to in turn write a song to match
the dance steps demonstrated in the scene and
eliminate the need for future legal hassles. However,
this track does not appear on the movie's soundtrack.
Donna Pescow was almost considered 'too pretty'
for the role of Annette. She corrected this by
putting on 40 pounds and training herself back
to her native Brooklyn accent, which she trained
herself away from while she was studying drama
at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. After
production ended, she immediately lost the weight
she gained for the role and dropped the accent.
John Travolta's mother Helen and sister Ann both
appeared in minor roles in this movie.
Bobby's C's car is a 1964 Chevrolet Impala.
Madonna's video for her 2005 hit single "Hung
Up" is an homage to a scene from Saturday
Night Fever, when Tony first approaches Stephanie
at the rehearsal studio. In the video, Madonna
is wearing almost exactly the same leotard and
tights set that Stephanie wears in the film, and
there is wood paneling and a wooden barre much
like in the rehearsal space Stephanie uses for
this scene. Madonna also did a remix during the
Confessions Tour in 2006, following her successful
album Confessions on a Dance Floor. The remix
was the instrumental of "Disco Inferno"
from Saturday Night Fever mixed with Madonna's
hit song "Music" from 2000. Madonna's
appearance and dance moves during "Music
Inferno" were similar to Travolta's in the
film.
The song "K-Jee" was used during the
dance contest with the Hispanic couple that competed
against Tony and Stephanie. Some VHS cassettes
used a more traditional Latin-style song instead.
The DVD restores the original recording.
Tony Manero was the name of a real American golfer.
John Belushi parodied the film as "Samurai
Night Fever", one of his "Samurai"
sketches. Belushi spoofed it again in the film
Neighbors, during a scene in which tilted camera
angles show Belushi combing his hair in front
of the mirror as "Stayin' Alive" plays
in the background.
The 1980 film Airplane! contained a parody scene,
with Robert Hays mocking the famous pose and the
clothing shown on the poster and album cover,
to the tune of "Stayin' Alive" slightly
sped up (the actual song used for that scene in
Saturday Night Fever was "You Should Be Dancing").
The Goodies parodied the film in their Saturday
Night Grease episode.
The original working title for this film was "Saturday
Night". It was changed to "Saturday
Night Fever" after the producers heard the
song "Night Fever."
In Anurag Mathur's book The Inscrutable Americans,
the protagonist Gopal is inspired by the way Travolta
dances and refers to Saturday Night Fever as an
'educational' movie about America.
John Travolta still has the pair of high-heeled
shoes he wore during the opening and dance sequences
of the film (as depicted in the poster). He says
he sometimes takes them out of the closet, but
claims he doesn't wear them.
This film is banned in Malaysia.
The Children's Television Workshop published a
record album of music from Sesame Street under
the title Sesame Street Fever, the cover of which
spoofed the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack album
cover, with muppet Grover wearing the white three-piece
disco suit in the famous Travolta pose and Bert,
Ernie, and Cookie Monster taking the place of
the Bee Gees. Robin Gibb (of the Bee Gees) sings
on two tracks for this album "Sesame Street
Fever" Trash" and has a dialog with
cookie monster on the into for "C Is For
Cookie"
The film was one of the inspirations for the short-lived
sitcom Makin' It, whose main character was a devotee
of the film.
In the club, a woman begs to kiss Tony and gushes,
"I just kissed Al Pacino!" Later, while
looking at a poster of Al Pacino in the mirror,
Tony comes out of his room shouting, "Attica!
Attica! Attica!" from the famous Al Pacino
film, Dog Day Afternoon.
Scenes from this film were featured on the 1986
Tri-Star Pictures film Short Circuit. Johnny 5,
the robotic star of the film, danced alone to
You Should Be Dancing, then danced with Stephanie
Speck shortly afterwards to More Than a Woman.
Short Circuit is also a John Badham film.
The illuminated dance floor was inspired by one
Badham had seen at "The Club", a private
supper club in Birmingham, Alabama.
Amy Irving auditioned for the role of Stephanie,
which was later won by lesser-known soap actress
Karen Lynn Gorney.
The first shots of Stephanie dancing are actually
of a stand-in dancer and not Gorney, except for
the close-ups.
The music video for "Dang" by The Jon
Spencer Blues Explosion begins with a direct reference
to the opening of Saturday Night Fever as lead
singer Jon Spencer is shown walking down a New
York City street with a paint can in one hand,
exactly as Tony does in the film.
In 2000, at the Inner Circle press dinner, mayor
Rudy Giuliani spoofed John Travolta by dancing
to "Disco Inferno" by The Trammps. Giuliani
wore a white 70s-style disco suit.
Spanish Disco-Funk band "Fundación
Tony Manero" ("Tony Manero Foundation")
is named after the main character.
The video game Gex: Enter the Gecko has a martial-arts
themed level named "Samurai Night Fever".
The debut album by avant-garde metal band Polkadot
Cadaver, Purgatory Dance Party, has cover art
that is a reference to the film poster.
Bee Gee Robin Gibb admitted to BBC News on 15
December 2007 that he has never watched this film.
