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
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.
❤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❤
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.
@@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.
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!!!
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.
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 ...👏👏👏🕺
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 !!! 🏆🥇🏅🥇🏅👑🎖
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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 never thought watching someone walk could be so captivating.
faz1991 lol, sometimes when i left work.. i listen that song and somehow.. i start walkin like that 😅
LOL I Agree 💙😉
Yess
I know 😲!!! Just awesome !!! NOTHING else to do, so I'll watch it again and again. Then go watch the movie.
@@ItzKamo
Really funny !!!
This will NEVER get old.
@@babyjupiter24TV dude, the last 5 min totally make up for the train wreck 🤣
NEVER! 🤣
AMEM
Except for John Travolta
Never in a million years
Love how Saturday Night Fever starts with him strutting and Staying Alive finishes the same way like Tony Maneros story coming full circle .
When you strut so hard you don't know where you are and you fade away
+Caleb Hardman It's a good strut but a Hicky from Kenickie is like a Hallmark Card, when you only care enough to send the very best !
😂 I sincerely hope he NEVER got a hickey from kenickie...
😂
@@SuperChuckRaney😂
Don't worry, it's somebody ELSE'S Hicky!!
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!
I love these memories. The cinema experience of a film is magic. The energy of the people. It’s great.
John Travolta was cool before being cool was cool.
so when he was cool he wasn't cool? kind of like how we look at him now
Andre Wales Ignoring your rhetorical Q, you don't get it...but the women did.. and that's what "men" like you didn't like... and still don't.
What does that even mean?!
and he was always gay the whole time.
Juan Torrez Cornejo yes he was look how they showing him from front to back producers and camera men gay as hell lol
No one will ever walk like John Travolta ...
This is a fact.
The best part of this entire movie.
jack ryan they made fun of this in sooo many tv shows/movies 😂😂💀💀
The only good part
Roger Ebert said it’s the only great moment of the film!
Yes, this song is the only song worth listening to in this crappy 80s movie.
jack ryan the movie was good. Besides John Travolta looks way better in this movie.
One of the best final scenes in movies ever!!!
💯💯💯💯
Only if the movie was good as well lmao.
One of the worst lol
Ramon you are 100% correct. I lived the Disco era....this people don't know shit
The ending was superb!!! The film in general was meh.
Still makes me happy watching John strut after all these years. ❤️
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.
LaVar Ball THIS MOVIE IS MY LIFE!!! THE SOUNDTRACK AND THE DANCING IS JUST...AAAAAHHH THE FEELZ🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Sounds like we would get along well. This is one of my top films.
Stallone ruined this film.
Back in the 80s Stallone took accolades as one of the best script writers in Hollywood.
min 0:16 thats me after clearing the paternity test, dudes "you are NOT the father!"
Travolta owned the sidewalk, the road, and all…..best strut ever!!!
Believe it or not, of all the great scenes from the 2 movies, this will always be my favorite of all the scenes.
A scene like this can be hit or miss, but John Travolta makes it too cool for words
It's corny as f***!
@@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.

That fantastic smile at the very end is everything ❤
Yep…it’s the smile of a guy whose ship finally came in. This scene was great.
Two of my favorite things.This song and John Travolta.
I don't know who you are, but I like you guy!
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
Wow. How cool is that!. I wonder if there was any music so he could strut in time to to it. Fascinating post, Thank You!
Muito legal!! Adoraria ver as fotos, uma época maravilhosa que não volta mais...
John Duffy are you saying it wasn't a closed set ?
that is so bitchen, guess how old I am? I could watch him all day, even now. He is one bitchen dude.
Pictures or it didn't happen

I love that laugh he does at the end...
same 😍😍
What he played caused a revolution and a cinematic masterpiece
Totally had a strut moment today, earphones in and I realised I was walking exactly in time with the music! It's been a great day ever since!!
I could watch this scene over and over again... Epic !!!
Omg no way, ME TOO
A walk that every guy know how it feels !!
It's the exact opposite of the walk of shame! 🤣
and it feels GOOD !!

John was the coolest man of 70s 80s
Only Travolta can strut and look cool 👍🏻

Ah the 80s good times good times.
There will never be another era like this ever again......so happy I was alive back then and still jamming to it today, brings back good memories.
No one struts like John does!
Me leaving the office on a Friday at 5
This is the best comment omg
The Friday I get paid
Victory strut! Feels like a man.
lmao
But what would be you coming in to work on a Monday at 6?
Can't get sexier than John Travolta back then!
Randi Holbrook Personally, I would have preferred Finola Hughes!
+Alan Heath Naaaa... i'll take a local NYer over a stiff Brit any day...;)
He still is sexy
John Goodman or Charles During back in the day...mmyea
That may be the most adorable thing ever. He's so goddamn cute!
What passes as Swag now a days doesn't even come close to STRUT!!!
I don't think Travolta ever looked better in his career as he did here. He totally slimmed down for this movie.
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.
It's the jawline, man!

JOHN Travolta was the coolest dude! 🦅🦅🇺🇸
boys: swag
men: class
ultimate gentlemen: STRUT
That's me after an exam
Anything wrong with being gay? But besides, how is Travolta's strut here gay? It's alpha as fuck
Agree....depending on the exam.
you wish. Tony was sexy.
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.
Me after I fail an exam.
I love how he smiles at the camera!
Travolta was one chiselled good looking mu'fucka back in '83
John T That’s because he worked out every day for 6 months for this film. He had 6 hours dance session and worked out.
@@cristiansolares2007yea, he ballooned to over 250 in the early 80s after his films bombed. Sylvester Stallone got him back in shape for this film.
True story: I once left a job the exact same way.
Lol
@@TailsA-sk4si Of course!
@Roach Dogg JR For all rights and purposes, yes.
Good!I love it.
@@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.
Travolta never got the respect and credit he earned and deserved.
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!!!
man i wish i was born in this era
I LOVE the movie Staying Alive !!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
The greatest ending to any film ever
The Strut that kicks off Saturday Night Fever is Oscar winning Material for sure. This is the second runner up.
A Great one!
Awesome, my condolences about his late wife
i have a feeling this is gonna be viral in the internet
I am 70 now and never saw anything like Travolta in his film. Which I of course saw when it was a new film.
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.
Looking back, this movie captures perfectly the dream to make it big in the Big Apple.
Greatest Strut In The History Of Movies, Travolta You Rock Forever! 💯🤘
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 ...👏👏👏🕺
This movie may have gotten so many poor reviews, but I don't care. It's one of my faves! ❤❤❤
Besides his dancing. He had the coolest walk ever.
No one and i mean no one struts like John. have mercyyyyy
Love this movie and song and John can dance. When I hear this song I want to dance the 70s were the best
The hair is a bit longer; and looks better this time around; but the strut is the same, sheer perfection, no one does it like Travolta.
The final strut was a legendary ending to an otherwise okay movie, and really made it a decent,supporting sequel.
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 !!! 🏆🥇🏅🥇🏅👑🎖
I've always loved the guy at :24 who's just leaning against the building taking it in. 😎
Every now and again, this is it. Walkin’ tall.
now that is called having it. travolta has it. not many people will know what i mean by that but travolta has bucket loads of it.
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!

That's how ive always walked.
Even do it at 3am while walking to the bathroom then back to bed.
awww crap, now I’m doing it
Lmfao even at a funeral?
@@gils1930 same here
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!
He was awesome back in the day. A NYC icon.
Great classic movie with great actor. I hope disco comes again to our lives.
Love it- thanks for this- has to be Travolta saying the lines every time. Check at that grin on his face at the end.
Disco music and the Bee Gees in 1983, were the kiss of death
I will watch this 10 times in a row. Love the smile at the end. 😘
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!
10 years later finding your comment but still and forever true!!!!!💜☮️💜✌️
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.
Lo mejor sentirse uno mismo con tanta energía,libertad, seguridad ..vida y felicidad!!
music and movies will never be this good again.
The walk you do after you get paid and laid on the same day.
love the way he walks and the music!!
This song is always playing in my mind when I walk.
I love it! Me too, on the best days.
Gorgeous, young Travolta. He looked soooo good here. I luv Italians!
Qué magestuoso final...caminar así y sentirse que todo esta bien y el futuro se avecina esplendoroso...
I can watch this over and over!!!
this song plays in my head every step i take..
John Travolta + The Strut = The sexiest thing I've ever seen!!!
Amen
OH MAN, OLD TIMES SQUARE!!! WOW! I USE TO HANG THERE IN THE 70'S AND 80'S AND EAT AT HOWARD JOHNSON. WOW! GREAT TO SEE THAT.
unpopular opinion. way more entertaining than the first
💯💯💯
I was just at a wedding, and when the DJ played "Staying Alive," I screamed out, "Do you know what I wanna do???"
Oh be still my heart! ❤️
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.
When you walk out of an arcade after beating an arcade game on 1 quarter while there's a crowd around you.Priceless.
Best scene of the movie,,,,by far.
Loved both Saturday Night Fever and Stayin' Alive.John Travolta was amazing in both!
This is how I picture myself walking into work every day but I know I look like a goober 😂
Strut: one of the most glorious pleasures of life 🙌
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.
Such a gorgeous man back in the day. Too bad we all have to get old.
A lot of cool ass actors in the world. But Johns the only one who could have done this scene with that performance. Showing how to strut!
Can you imagine the reaction in cinemas when they saw this for the first time?!💓🎉
I love NY and Disco Music
