I was only 10 when my Mom took me and my older brother to see this when it came out. When this scene started, the theater erupted in applause and people were whistling loud! You had to be there!
It's crazy how something so simple as this gets me into the most mellow, peaceful mood...I loved Saturday Night Fever, and although this one didn't have the greatest reviews, Stallone wrote a fine script, and this movie was very fun, with a nice soundtrack as well.
@@sirbarnabyst.johntoffingto9017 Yes, it feels like a parody of the character...and why does he want to go for a 'strut', he is not part of the audience, that is just normal walking for him, it seems daft to me. Trying to make a sequel was daft, but apparently Stallone made the movie and I think he was seduced by the Rocky and Rambo formula, trying to make lightning strike in the same place twice (well, perhaps Rambo was never a great film itself, but Rocky was) with sequel upon sequel.
This brings back memories...my wife, me and friends walked past him while he was shooting this scene....Sylvester Stallone was a decoy at the corner of 42nd on Broadway..we had just gotten his autograph and continued up 42nd when who should come strutting towards us...still have the photos
I love this movie! Despite its low RT rating, it's fun to see Tony evolve past his crude and callow youth to become a person of substance as well as supreme talent. It's not as violent as the original movie, and is generally more pleasurable to watch, IMO, even if it lacks some of the dramatic weight of its 1977 predecessor. Critics be damned.
"The movie has one great moment. A victorious Tony says 'I want to strut!' and struts across Times Square while the Bee Gees sing 'Stayin' Alive.' That could have been the first shot of a great movie. It's the last shot of this one." - Roger Ebert
Actually he was skinny in Saturday night fever. Here he got in shape he was ripped not big . He had to get in shape for the part. It makes sense in Fever he was 19 yr old who took care of his hair than his body. Here he's more older he has worked on his body now along with hair plus were in 1983 vs 1977. He was king of dance in bay ridge while here he's not the best dancer he's been working on being a better dancer.
Stallone got him in shape. Apparently Travolta was going thru a slump and this brought him back even though everyone thinks it was a flop. It's good in it's own right and it shows a progression of his character in a new environment with new stakes...but moral of the story is some bad habits help you when you are staying aliiiiiive. Underrated movie.
javlanoub Alpha??? Shaking one's ass is alpha? Perhaps alfa,not alpha,what s wrong with being gay? What s wrong with a cucumber in a man's anus? That s sick n twisted...poor cucumbers.
I just watched this movie tonight for the first time since it came out in 1983 and I must say that anything directed by Sylvester Stallone is a masterpiece. I enjoyed it better than Saturday Night Fever. Especially the end strut with Bee Gees in the background.
See how confidently he walks His face is full of hope and trust His body language finely talks That he has in living real interest See his hips move very gently His eyes survey the surrounding He enjoys life behaving jubilantly This brief picturing is astounding.
❤I truly love watching John Travolta strut. He even struts when he goes up stairs!! Now he is doing an AMAZING Capital One commercial as Santa Claus called Sleighin Alive!!! It is EXCELLENT❤
Classic movie. John Travolta was perfect in it. How he danced! I think people are all over him now because of rumors. He was great in the movie "Michael" and did a great dance scene in that also. Here's to the Bee Gees and John Travolta!
@@NiGiff lmao! ive done this too some dude trying to play me over a girl when he bought her drinks all night lol. i played a song in bar when i walked out with her.
This is possibly the best part of the whole movie! I like certain parts, like for example the beginning, a few punchlines, and definitely Sylvester's cameo, but to be honest, I expected the movie to be better. Oh well, the final strut is awsome! I started dancing in my seat as soon as the song started, it's perfect strut music!
John you are on of the great actors of the late seventy and eighths and through the two thousands. Your extremly handsome and extremely talented and one of the best dancers since Fred Astier and Ginger Roger's. God blessed you with all of this talent. You also come from a good Italian family such as I do. And your wife and children are all beautiful. I was very sorry to hear about your son, i cant imagine losing a child. And I was also extremely sorry to hear about your wife. You've been through a lot and you family beautiful daughter and handsome little son will help you get through these tuff times. I've seen all of your movies everything and they just keep getting better. You are one Hellva talented man and I wish you nothing but the best in the future. God bless you!!!
Ver esta imagen una y otra vez. Intentar caminar ,bailar y vestir . Me trae enormes recuerdos . Que impacto esta en aquella época. Benditos y bendecidos los que pudimos transmitirla y sentirla ...👏👏👏🕺
JOHN TRAVOLTA is cooler than the other side of the pillow.....dude just screams coolness..........who still loves the 1983 movie STAYING ALIVE today in JULY 2023?.....that would be me.....i was 9 years old when this movie came out and i wanted to be as cool as JOHN TRAVOLTA.He is without a doubt my favorite actor of all time.
Walking er strutting to the beat.well done.that look & easy poise brings a smile and you feel all is well with world.70's & 80's really relaxed & charming.
Fantastic, - just wish had a time machine. Thanks so much for posting this! Lots of negative comments but if you'd lived in those times and liked this music and fashion you'd love it!
I also call it 'The Full Circle' strut. As Saturday Night Fever he was strutting to a dead end job... here he struts out of making it, being successful. A great movie about perseverance, surviving, having that one woman (or anyone close) who has faith in you, and again, making it. Also, mind you, back then, there wasn't any hangups with heterosexual real men about being perceived as homosexual if they carried themselves like John, exuding male sexiness. It was all for the ladies! - G
One of the most captivating and wonderful song ever .The most powerful and amazing one which conquered everyones' soul and heart !!! I have tears in my eyes !! The beautiful voices, the special melody and everything about it was perfect !! It's a masterpiece and a timeless song !! 💙💎💙💎 like a flawless diamond !!! 🏆🥇🏅🥇🏅👑🎖
Went to hell? He made a bunch of movies, had a slump, came back with "Look Who's Talking", then had a major comeback with "Pulp Fiction". Went on to make many films, some good, some bad. Made so much money that he PARKS HIS 707 JET AIRLINER next to his house on the beach in Florida. How many guys can wake up, have breakfast, walk with his family to his airliner parked in the driveway, and fly them and some friends to Australia for a couple of weeks? Yeah, he really went to hell. He got older and is not a pretty boy anymore. So? We all get older. Guy made a fortune and acts when he feels like it.
Dont understand criticism on this movie. Character like him deserved success that we did not see in Fever. Nothing but drugs, tragic death and a local contest he barely won. The scene he talks with his mother on Staying Alive is nothing but true: she was glad he left that neighborhood. Cynthia also killed it. Great soundtrack (nom to a Grammy and Golden Globe) as well.
I saw this movie on a plane in 84. The movie was so bad I wanted to walk out. But when this part came on I stood up with my plastic headphones and shouted YEAH!
