This is actually a pretty good take on Saturday Night Fever. Silly but a good take. I always suspected the racial /ethnic component of this movie was underplayed and not discussed much because it's not usually considered when this film gets talked about. Fundamentally Tony hates his neighborhood and wants to get the hell out . That drives everything his character does in the movie
This coworker of mine told me a story that this was his wife’s favorite movie because for some reason she only saw it on TV where they deleted a few scenes and made this movie a PG until one day he decided to buy the DVD and they saw the unedited version of it and just ruin this movie for her for the rest of her life😂😂😂😂
I was born in 1981, and my strict Mormon parents wouldn't let me watch movies like Footloose, Dirty Dancing, Grease, all those dance movies. So when I rebelled as a teenager and watched them all I was shocked by how depressing Saturday Night Fever was. 😂
Please please please only do this for a living. Oh my god. And keep adding the poetry into it. You are awesome. It will pay off, I see 179 views, but soon it will grow like crazy. Sending you good vibes!
You know how filtered i am towards modern cinema? I stopped watching after the scene of the girl who have sex in the car to make John Travolta jealous, and Travolta doesn't even care.
I asked chatgpt to write me a scenario that the exorcist and Saturday night fever are in the same universe: Here's a fun scenario imagining "Saturday Night Fever" and "The Exorcist" in the same universe: --- **Title: Disco Demons** **Setting: New York City, 1977** **Premise:** Tony Manero, the charismatic young man from Brooklyn who lives for the weekends when he can rule the dance floor at the 2001 Odyssey disco, begins to notice strange occurrences around the neighborhood. The local church, where his brother Frank Jr. used to serve before leaving the priesthood, becomes the center of rumors about bizarre happenings-doors slamming on their own, strange voices echoing in the halls, and an unsettling feeling of dread that has swept over the congregation. **Characters:** - **Tony Manero:** After Frank Jr. leaves the priesthood, Tony has a newfound respect for spirituality, albeit in his own unconventional way. He begins to sense something off in the community, especially around his beloved club. - **Father Damien Karras:** Haunted by the events in Georgetown with the exorcism of Regan MacNeil, Karras is on a personal quest for redemption. He comes to New York to visit old friends, including Father Dyer, and to escape the traumatic memories that continue to plague him. - **Father Dyer:** A mutual acquaintance of Tony's family and Karras, Dyer senses a growing evil spreading through the streets of New York and calls on Karras for help. - **Frank Manero Jr.:** Having recently left the priesthood, Frank is struggling with his faith and his identity. When he starts experiencing unexplainable visions and disturbing dreams, he finds himself pulled back into the world he tried to leave behind. **Plot:** As Tony prepares for an upcoming dance competition, he notices his friends and fellow club-goers behaving oddly, as if possessed by something other than the usual disco fever. People are more aggressive, fights break out for no reason, and a sense of darkness seems to creep into the once vibrant disco scene. Meanwhile, Frank Jr. has started visiting the church out of nostalgia, where he runs into Father Karras. The two strike up a conversation, and Frank shares that his brother Tony has been seeing strange things lately. Father Karras, sensing a familiar evil, decides to investigate further. He visits the disco and notices that something isn't right-strange, almost subliminal chants play in the background of the music, and some dancers move in an almost trance-like state, as if controlled by an unseen force. Father Karras realizes that the demonic presence he fought in Georgetown may not have been fully vanquished and is now spreading through New York, using the disco's pulsating energy as a conduit. As the night of the dance competition approaches, Tony becomes more paranoid, feeling as though he's being watched. He confides in Frank, who then introduces him to Father Karras. Together, they uncover that a demon has infiltrated the disco scene, feeding off the high emotions and chaotic energy of the dance floor. The final showdown occurs on the night of the competition, where Tony, backed by Frank and Father Karras, must dance to a remixed track of disco hits and exorcism prayers to banish the evil once and for all. **Climax:** The competition reaches a fever pitch as Tony battles the demon on the dance floor. The crowd, unaware of the supernatural battle taking place, cheers wildly, thinking it’s all part of the performance. Father Karras performs a stealth exorcism behind the DJ booth, chanting prayers as Tony executes his moves with more intensity than ever. The music builds to a crescendo, the lights flicker wildly, and with one final spin, Tony breaks the demon’s hold over the disco. **Ending:** The lights return to normal, the music fades, and the crowd roars with applause, none the wiser to the battle that just took place. Tony, exhausted but triumphant, nods to Father Karras, who quietly exits the disco. Frank Jr. finds new faith in himself and decides to rejoin the church, while Tony goes on to become a legend on the dance floor, knowing that for one night, his passion for dancing saved the city from a much darker fate. --- This scenario blends the disco energy of "Saturday Night Fever" with the supernatural tension of "The Exorcist," creating a unique crossover where faith, music, and a battle against darkness converge on the dance floor.
Thank you I needed this. From my understanding of New York City circa 1977 (Taxi Driver, Warriors, Saturday Night Fever), a demon taking hold of the young people dancing is not that crazy.

I don’t know why the algorithm graced me with this channel, but I’m thankful. Watched every video, listened to every free podcast, and close to joining patreon.
I really identified with this film in my 20s (1990s), at least the nightlife aspect of it. I was a primped pretty boy straight dude wearing flashy clothes, working dead end jobs, and dancing at clubs every weekend with perfect hair. I was living a disco fantasy long after the scene was gone.
@@shaftlamer It was also the 70s revival period. BNasically up until recently, every current period experiences a revival of the culture of the period 20 years prior. In the 1970s they had the 50s revival (e.g. Grease), in the 80s there was a 60s revival, in the 90s was the 70s revival, 2000s was the 80s revival (hello Adam Sandler's Wedding Singer), 2010s were the 90s revival, and now there's a 2000s revival.
I showed your channel to my husband after I watched a few of your videos. We were howling. Reminds me of old RUclips. Keep going! Don’t do modern movies.
Thank you so much! As far as doing modern movies, it might change, but right now we’ve decided that our epoch of critique is from the invention of the motion picture camera to the day the American version of The Office ended.
Royal Carribean has performers who do "Saturday Night Fever" play on their cruise lines. Saw it on the "Liberty of the Sea" on the way to Bermuda last year. Went to it thinking it would be mediocre, cheesy, it was one best live performances I've ever seen. The dancing elite, exrodinairy singing, acting, delighted by the show, amazing talent, they did a great job with the story. Performers from Columbia played the Puerto Rican dance team and they were absolutely awesome! Broadway level talent on a cruise ship. If you get a chance to see it don't miss it!
Everyone keeps saying the same thing and they are correct. The Porkies video just seemed to hit the right algorithm with a bunch of people, myself included, who probably feel like the content and format was personally made for them. From the analysis, the infectious laughter, through to the inevitable “the past was doin its best”, you guys truly are onto something. Please keep it up, and us fans will try doing our part in sharing the love!
The way Saturday Night Fever get sold on stuff is kind of hilarious. When it gets talked about it’s like the disco movie, its fun disco sequences with the Bee Gees music. If you have seen it, but you’ve heard it talked about on TV, you might think the tone is similar to other big dancing movie it gets brought up alongside like Dirty Dancing and Footloose. The way it mostly gets talked about you’d think it was Grease. But the main group in Saturday Night Fever are a bunch of dirty bags, they’re not as bad (or fun) as the gang in A Clockwork Orange, but they’re not too far off either. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen A Bronx Tale, but I want to say Saturday Night Fever is kind of like A Bronx Tale with disco.
It even talks about leaving your friends cause they are a bunch of knuckleheads. I like the girl who works in Manhattan and has older boyfriend. It's a cool movie.
Every time I find a small channel that I really like it ends up blowing up shortly after I start following it.

Right after they all gang-raped the other girl in the back seat, right? Been a while since I've seen it, but this felt like they skipped the cringiest sequence of the whole flick.
I never seen Saturday Night Fever but the thread being pulled from one single scene (image of the brother) at 1:40 to 2:40 is absolute gold. Saturday Night Fever is canonically part of The Exorcist universe... or is it the other way around?
Loved the review and saw it when it was originally released. Staying in the late '70s, could you consider reviewing: 1/The Warriors, 2/American Werewolf in London and 3/The Wanderers... all (kind of) classics.
Can we get a Porkys 2? Roadhouse? Fast Times at Ridgemont High? 16 Candles? Trading Places?? Just start doing all the good 80s movies these are great… do shows too like Dukes of Hazard 😂 these are too good
Id add from the late 1970s; 🎬 Fever was R when it came out but was sooo popular, big craze 🕺🏻💃🏼 disco the studio quickly rolled out a edited PG version too.
Saturday Night Fever was a very good coming of age drama/ dance film . The only problem is that the film became more of a cultural phenomena and societal icon of the time. So I would argue people don't really know the movie itself just hype and hyperbole.
I think you are correct about that. I know I judged it solely around just the hype, but Gene Siskel loved the movie so much that he owned Travolta's suit from the competition. I always wondered why the hell a seasoned movie critic would like a movie to that degree (and still do, but thats neither here nor there) and wondered what he saw that I didnt. And the truth was, because he actually saw the movie, where I was just a dumb kid poking fun at it because of the hype around it without ever once seeing it beyond a couple clips. Once I saw the movie, my mind was changed. I still dont think it is a masterpiece, but I do think it was a competent film that told a pretty good story in the way most late 70's films began to progress into. So yeah, this film is a victim of its hype, even to this day, 4 decades later.
@Colorcrayons Yeah you make some good points here. I heard about Gene Siskel buying the suit from Roger Ebert whom I knew a little years ago. I guess Gene was a fan of the film or at least of the suit. LOL.
@Colorcrayons I have just come back to writing about film myself so im.not sure if this film has been critically reevaluated or examined again. Maybe it needs just that in order for the film to be validated over the hype and legend.
@@johngilmore697 There isn't any science to it at all. If you want initiate with the ladies you gotta do what Tony Monero do - dance your ass off and asked the ladies, "are you from out of town?"

This is funny shit right here 😂😂😂 New sub. Admittedly, Saturday Night Fever and its sequel, Stayin' Alive are one of those little weird films for me that we all have from time to time that we have seen a million times and examined in and out. So the whole time you're talking about Tony being above sexism, I'm grinning from ear to ear, because in Stayin' Alive, he's 25 years old, and he's STILL doing the same sexist shit lmao (he was 19 in Saturday Night Fever). In fact, both movies are pretty much the same thing. The only difference is that Annette from the 1st movie was some dumb young chick PRETENDING to be sophisticated and is pretty much being provided her posh life by some older sugar daddy. I thought you'd cover that when they held hands LMAO Some older guy walks in and is talking about moving her stuff out of the apartment. Whereas in the 2nd movie, he's getting used by an ACTUALLY wealthy/sophisticated woman that is slumming it with Tony 😂😂 and he gets his balls twisted over her. I say he's still sexist because he's using this great woman Jackie (a friend of his) for sex, and oogling other women in front of her, INCLUDING Laura, the rich chick who's using him. I have been checking out your videos here and I really get a good laugh. Keep up the great work- would be great to see one of these about Stayin' Alive one day 🍺
Yes!! He hits her and has a wicked temper. She's not perfect but she didn't deserve that. Then they both have affairs and it all works out. It was pretty depressing.

When I first saw this film as a kid, I actually thought Tony's brother was the same actor from the Exorcist.
It is though, right?

I asked chatgpt to write me a scenario that the exorcist and Saturday night fever are in the same universe: Here's a fun scenario imagining "Saturday Night Fever" and "The Exorcist" in the same universe:

**Title: Disco Demons**
**Setting: New York City, 1977**
**Premise:**
Tony Manero, the charismatic young man from Brooklyn who lives for the weekends when he can rule the dance floor at the 2001 Odyssey disco, begins to notice strange occurrences around the neighborhood. The local church, where his brother Frank Jr. used to serve before leaving the priesthood, becomes the center of rumors about bizarre happenings-doors slamming on their own, strange voices echoing in the halls, and an unsettling feeling of dread that has swept over the congregation.
**Characters:**
- **Tony Manero:** After Frank Jr. leaves the priesthood, Tony has a newfound respect for spirituality, albeit in his own unconventional way. He begins to sense something off in the community, especially around his beloved club.
- **Father Damien Karras:** Haunted by the events in Georgetown with the exorcism of Regan MacNeil, Karras is on a personal quest for redemption. He comes to New York to visit old friends, including Father Dyer, and to escape the traumatic memories that continue to plague him.

Saturday Night Fever was a very good coming of age drama/ dance film .
The only problem is that the film became more of a cultural phenomena and societal icon of the time.
So I would argue people don't really know the movie itself just hype and hyperbole.
I think you are correct about that. I know I judged it solely around just the hype, but Gene Siskel loved the movie so much that he owned Travolta's suit from the competition.
I always wondered why the hell a seasoned movie critic would like a movie to that degree (and still do, but thats neither here nor there) and wondered what he saw that I didnt.
And the truth was, because he actually saw the movie, where I was just a dumb kid poking fun at it because of the hype around it without ever once seeing it beyond a couple clips.
Once I saw the movie, my mind was changed. I still dont think it is a masterpiece, but I do think it was a competent film that told a pretty good story in the way most late 70's films began to progress into.
So yeah, this film is a victim of its hype, even to this day, 4 decades later.
@Colorcrayons Yeah you make some good points here.
I heard about Gene Siskel buying the suit from Roger Ebert whom I knew a little years ago. I guess Gene was a fan of the film or at least of the suit. LOL.
@Colorcrayons I have just come back to writing about film myself so im.not sure if this film has been critically reevaluated or examined again.
Maybe it needs just that in order for the film to be validated over the hype and legend.
Awesome Ben
Keep it up
I thumbs up now right after i hit play cause i know it's gonna be good
It's crazy how good this channel is with so few subscribers. So funny
This was Gene Siskel’s favorite movie. I didn’t see a comment pointing this out yet.
Mate these videos are so good 😂
The guy reviewing this movie obviously doesn't know an Italian family.
Your screen name sucking fucks! That didn't work lol
I love your content. It is hilarious!
Thank you so much!
The movie bring it on hasn't aged well but no one has realized it yet, just go back and watch it, it's nuts
Do 'The Last American Virgin'
This was what started it all - night life. Nightclubs today are modern Discos.
Really? Tell us more, Mr. Science
@@johngilmore697 There isn't any science to it at all. If you want initiate with the ladies you gotta do what Tony Monero do - dance your ass off and asked the ladies, "are you from out of town?"
@@Tuck_Frump It's too much. I'm not American. I can't date. Restaurant on a barge? I might as well ask her to marry me. The pub. That's the English way.
A paint factory? WTF?
I love this channel 🙏🔥🔥
Be like ya brudda
This is legit
Magnificent.
I siggest Shock Treatment or Phantom at the Paradise
I just recently discovered Phantom of the Paradise. Good stuff!
@@GrandFunker Phoenix was in Shock Treatment too, a similar movie. They're both weird movies I think this guy would bounce off of pretty nicely
You gotta do Urban Cowboy
Just curious does anyone know if this channel has done a sequel?? You know the 1 that Sylvester Stallone directed ?? I really appreciate any info Thank you
STAYING ALIVE! that's the name baby
I also support
Wait so that means the brudda is dead right? Didn’t he die in the end?
Stone cold classic, great soundtrack and terrific script!
This is funny shit right here 😂😂😂 New sub.
Admittedly, Saturday Night Fever and its sequel, Stayin' Alive are one of those little weird films for me that we all have from time to time that we have seen a million times and examined in and out. So the whole time you're talking about Tony being above sexism, I'm grinning from ear to ear, because in Stayin' Alive, he's 25 years old, and he's STILL doing the same sexist shit lmao (he was 19 in Saturday Night Fever).
In fact, both movies are pretty much the same thing. The only difference is that Annette from the 1st movie was some dumb young chick PRETENDING to be sophisticated and is pretty much being provided her posh life by some older sugar daddy. I thought you'd cover that when they held hands LMAO Some older guy walks in and is talking about moving her stuff out of the apartment. Whereas in the 2nd movie, he's getting used by an ACTUALLY wealthy/sophisticated woman that is slumming it with Tony 😂😂 and he gets his balls twisted over her.
I say he's still sexist because he's using this great woman Jackie (a friend of his) for sex, and oogling other women in front of her, INCLUDING Laura, the rich chick who's using him.
I have been checking out your videos here and I really get a good laugh. Keep up the great work- would be great to see one of these about Stayin' Alive one day 🍺
He's a singing man
I've never seen this movie, abd now I don't need to.😂
Please do urban cowboy!
Yes!! He hits her and has a wicked temper. She's not perfect but she didn't deserve that. Then they both have affairs and it all works out. It was pretty depressing.
Please do THE CRYING GAME
please do "Dog Day Afternoon" next. Those who know, know....
