    Awesome. My old neighborhood. I remember when this movie came out my friends and I thought it was so cool because those are some of the places we used to hangout at . Spent many a night at the White Castle and 2001 Space Odyssey.

      That's what I love about SNF. Very few movies shot in Brooklyn back then. My go-to White Castle was on Humboldt Street... closed in 2014. Any memories from 2001 Space Odyssey?

    Special thanks for whomsoever who made this video. I am q big Star Wars and Saturday Night Fever fan. I watch Saturday Night Fever on my computer on the dvd and great job for showing all the places where this movie was filmed. I am now a Paramount Pictures insider as a result of this movie and playing some of the songs from this movie on my guitar its too bad that Lenny's Pizza closed. I hope someone reopens it at that location at 1969 86th street soon. Please someone reopen that pizza joint.

    Wonderful filming and matching up!!! Some of the locations looked the same with new paint on the walls, some of the streets, sad to see the disco gone but hey its all about the money every day in this world. Great idea someone wrote below about the Pizza place should have been bought by John T. and kept it going. I'm sure it was still a busy pizza eating spot. I heard the owner got really old and sold it finally and i believe he had other locations also. Thanks for doing this.

    How on earth do you manage, not only to identify the precise camera locations, but also to pan your shots at exactly the speed of the originals? Two quick questions, if I may. Where are the two-storey brownstones shown at 8:09, and is the interior of the Manero family home a set that (somehow) still exists?

    • @gluecement
      @gluecement  Год назад +1

      Those buildings at 8:09 are right around the corner from the hardware store on 74th, off of 5th Avenue, Brooklyn. Manero house is real and they really shot inside. I got views of the inside in 2017 when the house was up for sale. If you check out my NYCinFilm website, I go into further details.

    • @williamevans9426
      @williamevans9426 Год назад

      @@gluecement Many thanks for your swift response to my questions. I wonder whether the houses seen at 8:09 are now desirable and expensive properties? (They looked quite attractive even in this 1970s movie). I'd presumed the Manero house interior was a set, as I couldn't see how you were able to gain access, so thanks too for the explanation!

    It is possible you may already know this but a biopic about the Bee Gees is due to be made. Their involvement with Saturday Night Fever and it’s soundtrack album is bound to be mentioned, it brought them back into the public eye. It is possible some of these locations may appear in this new film. Saturday Night Fever helped put New York on the map.

    You shall almost certainly know this but John Travolta has recently appeared in a Capital One commercial. He is dressed as Santa and recreating the role of Tony Manero. Donna Pescoe, who had played Annette also appears in this commercial. I think this commercial was filmed in the same locations where the original scenes were filmed, but you would know better than me about that. It has had some very positive feedback comments on line.

    Thanks for your reply. I first heard about John Travolta playing Tony Manero/ Santa because it was mentioned in last weeks issue of The National Enquirer. I had been thinking of buying it but I then realised it is no longer available. However John is mentioned in the most recent issue. They have a report about his Scientology beliefs.

    • @gluecement

      I put a couple of comments on line about John Travolta playing Santa four weeks ago. I have just discovered some kind soul has given one of these comments the thumbs up sign! For those interested type Capital One/ Quicksilver Holiday Night Fever Commercial 2024 Featuring John Travolta.

    The 2001 odyssey became a gay friendly nightclub called spectrum. Was exactly the same interior with the original dance floor till it closed in 2005. Was demolished a bit later and is a Chinese restaurant. The neighborhood is now a large Chinese district. Much of Bensonhurst is attracting Chinese immigrants.

    Great work on locations !! However, I never understood what this movie was about. This guy who works at a hardware store with ZERO ambition in his life except buying clothes and disco dancing and chasing young girls. His friends are just as pathetic as he is. His family is completely dysfunctional. WTF is the problem with the oldest guy leaving the church ?? Who TF cares ?? Then the whole part of a guy jumping off the bridge and the girl having multiple sex partners in one night just to get back at this loser. IDK how this film made $5.

    • @igwe9548
      @igwe9548 Год назад +2

      It was a coming of age story basically told during the time of the 1970s disco era in NYC. Tony was basically a late teen, who through the course of the movie, learns that he can’t stay around his friends all his life. When his friend accidentally falls off the bridge he comes to the realization that life is not all about hanging out at clubs and dancing. That there are consequences in life and it’s time for him to become an adult and take life more seriously.
