The 1970's; people make fun of this decade, but it was undeniably the most exciting time for both film and music. Plus, people have NEVER looked sexier than in the 70's. If you don't believe it, just look around. what do we have today? Disposable movies, recycled, soulless music and "non-fashion." Yeah, this is the first decade that doesn't have "a look."
Amen! Generally, the ones who made fun of the 70's were 2 types. The people that were there and know better that do are what I call "robots of society". Those that have no personality, mind or direction of their own and only follow trends and whatever is "the latest and greatest". The others that do are ones too young to know any better...they were born and raised on trash, so to them, class and normalcy is bizarre.
let's see we had great music great dance routines n the 2001 oddssey in bayridge Brooklyn all film locations were real not like today on a movie lot a superb film all credit to John badham n Robert stigwood n the bee gees n not forgetting John Travolta as the role of Tony manero n the cast Tony was the king of the 2001 oddssey I'm sure after the film finally was finished there were Tony manero wannabes in the iconic 2001 oddssey in bayridge Brooklyn trying to copy Tony's image great movie
I saw a documentary about the Disco and how it had a profound impact all over the world... it reduced the crime !! They said that suddenly...everybody wanted to be decent and dance! And may I add... there were no articles about "how to get rid off your toxic familly or friends" ... or how to be "positive" People were just more true to themselves in those times...
Actually no, I was born in 1966 and they didn´t let me in to see it in the cinema, because I was 12. I watched it when I was an adult on TV. But I am glad I did, because the rape scene was awful.
True. I was born in mid 1974 and remember vividly this movie, music and era. I was only three years old when this movie came out and it was a phenomenon. Every one was talking about it. The music was being played constantly on the radio. Great times. And when Grease was released the following year, it was even better.
"I love to watch you dance!" That was all she was able to say to her dancing man! His response with offering to dance with her was not only RIGHT but PERFECT. 😍😘🤣 #cantfakeshitlikethat
I was a teenager in the 80s. By then, music had moved onto New Wave. We were told that disco and 70s music in general (Eagles, etc) was now _passe'_ - unless it was punk stuff. Despite that, I now have a real appreciation for 70s music and disco, especially the Bee Gees. They wrote more hits for other people than they did for themselves!
I was in my 20's when this film came out. I can totally understand why they deleted the full length version of the 'Night Fever' dance.(It sticks out like a sore thumbs and pulls the viewer out of the story). Now looking at this new footage, 46 years later, I absolutely love it! It is a little film in itself. A reminder how this film literally changed the direction of the American youth culture. The 70's and to a lesser degree the 80's was the greatest time in America. I consider myself lucky to be young during that period. From 1990 to Now (2020) the American youth culture hasn't produced anything original. Music, Art, Dance, it has all been a homage taken from that period (The 70's & 80's).
Very well said and very true! I always tell young folks today that arn't happy with their own generation that the 1990/91 era was the beginning stages of the end of normality, and how I felt it happening all around me back then (and my "peers" used to think I was wacko for thinking this at the time).
@@thevault6757 good point I just turned 54 and spent my grade school years in the 1970’s and middle/high school years in the 1980’s. The 1970’s were the best given the pop culture and then the 1980’s . The 90’s did have the grunge thing going but it just didn’t that panache that the 1970’s ’s and 80’s. In the 1970’s we still had the 1980’s to look forward to by the 1990’s you knew it was over.
The soundtrack was incredible for it's time, selling an estimated 40 to 50 million copies world wide, and then really exploded about 10 years later again. The amount of songs considered for the soundtrack but didn't make it should have become a Volume Two by now. There were so many songs in the movie, like Carol Douglas "Doctor's Orders", Rick Dees "Disco Duck" and "Doctor Disco", Boz Scaggs' "Low Down", Samantha Sang's "Emotion", and the Bee Gees version of "(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away" that was instead given to their brother Andy Gibb, and of course the Bee Gees version of "If I Can't Have You". All just one big disco overdose.
Disco Duck😂 I had that 45 record as a kid. I feel bad for Rick Dees and the writer’s of Disco Duck-had this song been kept in the soundtrack, they’d have made a LOT more money. After all, this was the biggest selling soundtrack OF ALL TIME for a while. In fact, in a little known bit of trivia, Travolta’s manager at the time negotiated him a royalty on every album sold-I think it was 25 cents. He didn’t sing on it, but they used his picture all over the cover and gatefold, so it was justified. But I’ve heard that he used that money to eventually buy his first jet.
If you haven't seen the documentary for the fortieth anniversary then you simply must its beautiful. All the main players are interviewed along with the two directors and of course the producer the genius Robert Stigwood who turned a star like Travolta into a cultural phenomenon. Oh hell just go watch it its amazing.
This is way we dressed when we went out to the clubs back in the 70s and 80s clean no boots or jeans on the guys and the girls were looking fly and sexy...
No offense, but this is the late 70s here. The 80s were so very completely different, I don't know how you can compare 80s styles to this. While I'm not talking from experience, it's easy enough to look up as part of history and the 70s stuff is so much different looking than the 80s stuff. Even history says this wasn't even what disco was really like until the movie came out and people started to copy it. "The idea for Saturday Night Fever came from a 1976 New York magazine article about the New York disco scene, written by British journalist Nik Cohn. Cohn later admitted he made the whole thing up: He'd just arrived in the United States, and had no clue what the real "scene" was like when he was assigned to write about it. So he completely fabricated the character that eventually became Tony Manero."
The way disco was presented in this movie and how it really was at Studio 54 (and other places) were worlds apart. Why would anyone even think that the clothes worn by both sexes in some disco in Brooklyn would be stylish. And at 54 jeans were quite common along with (generally) more individual ways to dress. Plus, the general ambience could be different - somehow more flamboyant and yet relaxed at the same time. The best contemporary description of disco was in the 11/1978 issue of GQ: designed to relieve pressure and create a mental high, a “social necessity” of the seventies.
Right after this movie hit the screens my parents bought me a shirt of virtually the same design as Tony Manero's, just slightly different in color. I was 6 at the time and my folks probably gave it away as soon as it got too small on me.. I would've gone to great lengths to keep it as a souvenir from that era, if I could.
And that's what you had to do to be a star... not just be pretty or weird and sing about your gun...or your money...or killing people .... or your "bitch"
After watching the film of my teens a million times and in different languages also ( sad, I know ) I can only be grateful for this clips that did not even know they existed. Thanks again, on a sad note, to think that soon 40 years have gone by since this film and our teens.
I was 19 back then , seen the movie 1st week it came out in San Jose , there was disco clubs popping up everywhere . I remember a club called MOTHERS at a bowling alley in Santa Clara. Those were the days (when I was young)
It just shows the power of the 'edit' in a movie - in the theatrical version we get to see Travolta act like a real arse against the girl, who clearly idolises him, he takes her to the dancefloor then strops over Monty's choice of tune, leaving her standing alone, looking around forlorn.....yet in this deleted/unused scene, we see him really playing the part, acting silly on the floor, laughing with her, not at her, interacting, letting her wipe his brow again during the robot dance... I love it. Just love it. Maybe they wanted to make him look like a bad guy, if this scene had been included it could have swayed the audiences opinion of his character maybe too far into nice guy zone at that point... I'm just thinking.... As for the full length Night Fever line dance..... No Contest! Why on earth was that not included?.... to lose yourself in a musical masterpiece for 3 minutes watching authentic 70's Disco vibes unfold around you.... what's not to love?? To the uploader, many thanks for posting this video, you've made an old flair wearing Disco fan very happy. I see the 4kUHD remaster of Saturday Night Fever is to be released this year (2022), I hope they at least include these scenes somewhere as well as lots of other extras we can lap up.
Yes I loved this extended scene too where Travolta is actually dancing and interacting with this girl. But I gotta say this girl has some fairly good rhythm on the dance floor even though she isn't doing much(and had a very goofy voice when approaching Travolta which made her come across as slow and maybe uncoordinated) but still reacting in rythm to Travolta's unorthodox dance moves.
March 14, 1977, begins filming of Saturday Night Fever. In New York. The film that inspired the soul of the clubs. BEE GEES made the world dance. Even today, the songs are heard......And dancing! Even today, the world will not forget Saturday Night Fever and the contagious rhythm of BEE GEES Music with unbeatable success ................................................ 14 de marzo de 1977, comienza el rodaje de Saturday Night Fever. En New York. La película que movió el alma de las discotecas. BEE GEES hizo bailar al mundo. Todavía hoy, las canciones se siguen escuchando. Y bailando! Todavía hoy, el mundo no olvida Saturday Night Fever y el contagioso ritmo de BEE GEES Música con éxito imbatible.
Out of all the scenes from the night fever dance sequence, the overhead shot was the one that stood out for me as a 13 yo, it all seemed so perfect and magical, with the spinning lights and the iconic plastic-tiled dance floor taking me away to some mystic heaven. Wonderful soundtrac k and movie, both go hand in hand.
Wow, I am a huge fan. I saw the movie when it first came out and in every type of media offered since then, including an actual 16mm print. I have seen, what I thought, were all the out takes, untill today. I have NEVER seen the extended Night Fever clip. Thanks for posting it. I'd love to find the deleted scenes, and there are a couple, from Staying Aliove, the sequel.
This capture here was probably the last known airing of this scene, which was in the very late 80s on WTBS in Atlanta (which I had on my cable system back then). They dubbed "Night Fever" over and made it a music video feel in this particular version. I used to have a much earlier airing from the early - mid 80s I got off WTAF 29 in Philly that was a grainy film print that had the original audio in tact with the sounds of them clapping and dancing with it (possibly the 16mm you were talkin bout?). But the tape I recorded it on is long gone sadly...was lucky I still had this one :) Never seen any of the deleted scenes from "Staying Alive"..would love to if anyone has em.
The Vault No, it's been aired more recently. I recorded an airing on ABC in 2002 that included these scenes as well as Tony at the bridge, Frank Sr getting the telegram calling him back to work and an extended version of Tony outside of Stephanie's apartment. It was aired in HD and stereo (My recording is stereo but not HD). AMC ran the same cut not long after ABC. Have that on tape as well.
@davidcoppola- I know I was blown away when I first saw it. So awesome. Made me wonder if that was how it aired in it's network premier and following broadcasts on ABC and I never realized it.
When I watch these clips I get a lump so big in throat I can hardly breathe . Me and a buddy went to see this everyday we could skipping school ect. Dreaming some day we would be in the Disco clubs and little did we know a year later we would be saying Disco suck s and joining the Kiss army but I can always see me and Bob sitting in the theater dreaming of being Disco kings like Tony
Travolta's "walking step" used here and in his solo scene is fabulous. There's a vid of Deney Terrio elsewhere on RUclips giving an instructional on it, the knee bouce, the clock splits. All moves I tried to learn as a teenager. Quite unsuccessfully, I might add.
I'm almost certain that, like the rest of the dance scenes, this one was also filmed without music, or, at least, not with music they had yet secured the rights to. Because they never used this scene, it likely never had a song associated with it, and so when they decided to release it as an extra, they dubbed in _Disco Duck_ since they already had the rights to it, but hadn't used it in a club scene. I often wonder what song they would have used had this scene made the final cut.
@@bradstevens9604 It was in Bay Ridge called 2001 Odyssey, then became a Gay nightclub called Spectrum before its demise in the mid 2000's I believe...
802 2001 oddssey was a cabaret club n had a stainless steel floor the dancefloor was added to give the club some panache the club owner said when he came to see the film daily's you boy's made my place look great
Was at the Club every Night..70 years old and Me and My Friends still dance 3 nights a week..grew up in our Hood Dancing..im a Chocolate White Boy..everybody knows me..so thankful for a great life of Great Friends and Dancing keeps up kids young in our hearts and Body.

We know it was a scrip an part of the Movie...but it was Very Nice that He himself ask the lady who was in love with him...to dance to made her day.....! Nice human Touch of the Produce..!!! Well Done
Whaou!!! How lucky you are!! Please tell us more!! I would love to be living close to such a wonderful human being! I have feeling like the Gibb brothersl were radiating pure love around
@Benjamin: I was a little over 18 when this movie came out in November. 1977. 40+ years later, I could wear still wear these kind of clothes:) Back in the day. both Johnny T and Barry G were so beautiful with their bodies and hair.
I've uploaded this Disco Duck scene at least twice before over the years and each time i had removed along with the standard "warning". Hope this stays up. My other SNF upload was the Tony by the bridge scene. Thankfully it has remained.
SoEightiesItHurts yeah i never seen the disco duck scene in the movie this is the first time i watch that scene but the brigde scene is included in all the movie theater released since i watch it back then
The "Bridge Scene" has thankfully made it into the Directors Cut BD. That's a short but very important scene as it shows the character's desire to escape the small world he's living in, and it's an example of how different he is from his friends who don't seem to know they aren't going anywhere.. As far as the "Disco Duck" sequence, it's interesting to read that it was cut simply due to a copyright problem with the song..
Ali Wenzel the bridge scene and many other scenes were powerful and poignant. Travolta nailed the character of Tony. I wish more people would see SNF for the brilliant film it was rather than a dumb disco dance movie.
I remember seeing this film at the cinema when It first released here in the UK and it was given an ‘x rating’, for adults, if memory serves. Since then, in all it’s subsequent forms, video, dvd, and for tv, lots of scenes have been changed and some deleted in order to suit the changing audience and according to censorship. It remains perhaps my favourite film, because it came at a time to provide a good influence. Just as the character in the first deleted scene, I too and along with millions I’m sure,“ love to watch him dance”.
@DLS - the only existing version where the full Night Fever line dance is included was in the Director's Cut version. NO OTHER version, even the 40th Anniversary edition had it... A Rarity for the collectors.
His walking step at 1:10 is genius in it's simplicity and effect. I was 16 when this came out in 1977 and I have yet to master that step after 40 years :-)
@DLS - the only existing version where the full Night Fever line dance is included was in the Director's Cut version. NO OTHER version, even the 40th Anniversary edition did NOT have it... A Rarity for the collectors.
@@denniseudela411 This is the version I'm talking about if you watch it closely you'll see this Night Fever Line dance scene is a little bit longer and it's not in the 40th anniversary director's cut it was only shown on television it was a few scenes in the television version that still wasn't included in the 40th anniversary Blu-Ray release
I memorized this movie back in the early 80s when I got a copy on VHS (whether I purchased it at Suncoast, or recorded it off HBO, or whatever, I don't remember). I damn near watched it every Friday and Saturday night before I went out dancing. I fully remember these scenes. I'm sorry but, at least for me, these are not "lost" or "deleted". But thanks for sharing for those who may have missed them.
Me!!! I just watched it and the ending just kinda got me I wasnt expecting it to end so suddenly I wanted it to keep going 😭😂 I really loved it thou I wish I were raised in that era 😭
Everyone has to remember, when the movie was re-released in 78 I believe or maybe early 79 it had a PG rating, that's how I saw the movie so they had this scene and the Bridge scene in it to take place of some other scenes like the sex in the car scene and topless dancer scene...Also the very last scene in the movie was longer, Tony knocks on the Stephanie's door and you see her walk down the stairs and then go up and she responds to Tony, the short version you only see her walking up the stairs and Tony asking her to open the door.
There's also a VERY violent gang fight scene and the movie was rated R when it first came out bu they wanted a teen audience so they toned the sex and violence down. If you see it on cable today all of it is intact.
The original movie - rated R - was released in '77. An edited version - rated PG for a wider audience - was re-released a year later (PG-13 did not yet exist).
Dec 1977 age 16, went with parents to movie theatre double screen, Saturday Night Fever and Coma both starting at same time, we were supposed to see Coma with Michael Douglas but I told my parents I would sneak into the other Restricted theatre for Fever. Walked right in, no usher to stop me, I was 2 years underage, theatre was packed and what an experience, today's generation sure missed out on the excitement of seeing great movies on the big screen back in the day (Close Encounters, Looking For Mr Goodbar, Spy Who Loved Me, Annie Hall, Star Wars just to name a few from 77). After movie met parents in lobby and they loved Coma and I was thrilled about getting to see Fever. It's all over now, nothing but garbage movies/"music" society has gone down the toilet.
Few people know that this movie was originally supposed to be about a Puerto Rican disco dancer from the 70s in NY. Thats why Travolta included the scene where he got mad when the latin couple (who were better dancers) lost and then he gave them his trophy.
LUCKY FOR ME I WAS LIVING IN NEW YORK AT THIS TIME AND VISITED THIS CLUB. IT WAS FANTASTIC😀. THE STROBE LIGHTS, LIGHTED FLOOR, THE SHINY WALLS ETC. THE ATMOSPHERE WAS EXHILARATING AND THE WOMEN WE'RE SMOKING HOT 😋. IT WAS MY FAVORITE CLUB. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER 2001 ODYSSEY. TO BAD ALLOT OF YOU MISSED OUT😭.
Disco Duck wasn't in the movie so as the SCENE was deleted, so was the song..Oh well. Love the Disco Duck, I would do the song at karoake, people got a charge out of it when I did the Duck voice. It was really cool.
Peter, actually it did make it into the final cut briefly. When Tony comes into the studio looking for Stephanie, he asks Pete the manager if she has come in, and he says that she comes in on Tuesday, etc. Pete is teaching a disco dancing class to middle agers and Disco Duck is playing. That is why it is listed in the end credits.

That was the best time back in the 70's with two very great movies. This movie was made in 1977, and Rocky was made in 1976.
I was 19 back then , seen the movie 1st week it came out in San Jose , there was disco clubs popping up everywhere . I remember a club called MOTHERS at a bowling alley in Santa Clara. Those were the days (when I was young)
Love Bay Area... the people... I was visiting a couple of times in the 90tees. Love from Croatia
It just shows the power of the 'edit' in a movie - in the theatrical version we get to see Travolta act like a real arse against the girl, who clearly idolises him, he takes her to the dancefloor then strops over Monty's choice of tune, leaving her standing alone, looking around forlorn.....yet in this deleted/unused scene, we see him really playing the part, acting silly on the floor, laughing with her, not at her, interacting, letting her wipe his brow again during the robot dance... I love it. Just love it. Maybe they wanted to make him look like a bad guy, if this scene had been included it could have swayed the audiences opinion of his character maybe too far into nice guy zone at that point... I'm just thinking.... As for the full length Night Fever line dance..... No Contest! Why on earth was that not included?.... to lose yourself in a musical masterpiece for 3 minutes watching authentic 70's Disco vibes unfold around you.... what's not to love?? To the uploader, many thanks for posting this video, you've made an old flair wearing Disco fan very happy. I see the 4kUHD remaster of Saturday Night Fever is to be released this year (2022), I hope they at least include these scenes somewhere as well as lots of other extras we can lap up.
Shout out to Marilu Henner at 3:04
Yes I loved this extended scene too where Travolta is actually dancing and interacting with this girl. But I gotta say this girl has some fairly good rhythm on the dance floor even though she isn't doing much(and had a very goofy voice when approaching Travolta which made her come across as slow and maybe uncoordinated) but still reacting in rythm to Travolta's unorthodox dance moves.
Disco Duck! Hahaha! I'll never forget that silly song.
Marina Smith I still have the 45 record 🦆
about as silly as chuck berry- ding a ling lol
more songs than you've ever made isn't it@@SupremeNerd

Its amazing cause' it was the same year Son of Sam was terrorizing the city, 1977.💿💿💿💿💿💿💿💿📀📀📀📀📀📀
This is my all time favorite movie! The 70's were the best decade to grow up in. The movies, hairstyles, clothing and music. Now it is all crap.
Out of all the scenes from the night fever dance sequence, the overhead shot was the one that stood out for me as a 13 yo, it all seemed so perfect and magical, with the spinning lights and the iconic plastic-tiled dance floor taking me away to some mystic heaven. Wonderful soundtrac k and movie, both go hand in hand.
When this first came out me and five of my friends cut school, went down to 42nd street to the Loews Cinemas and saw it. Great time those days!
This movie, you knew it was going to become a legendary film the minute it was released. Take it from someone who was there in '77.
My friend had the PG version on Beta Video Tape. We use to watch it in the late 80s.
I grew up in this era I even had the white suit anyone from Brampton and remember stars I was there
Wow, I am a huge fan. I saw the movie when it first came out and in every type of media offered since then, including an actual 16mm print. I have seen, what I thought, were all the out takes, untill today. I have NEVER seen the extended Night Fever clip. Thanks for posting it. I'd love to find the deleted scenes, and there are a couple, from Staying Aliove, the sequel.
This capture here was probably the last known airing of this scene, which was in the very late 80s on WTBS in Atlanta (which I had on my cable system back then). They dubbed "Night Fever" over and made it a music video feel in this particular version. I used to have a much earlier airing from the early - mid 80s I got off WTAF 29 in Philly that was a grainy film print that had the original audio in tact with the sounds of them clapping and dancing with it (possibly the 16mm you were talkin bout?). But the tape I recorded it on is long gone sadly...was lucky I still had this one :) Never seen any of the deleted scenes from "Staying Alive"..would love to if anyone has em.
The Vault No, it's been aired more recently. I recorded an airing on ABC in 2002 that included these scenes as well as Tony at the bridge, Frank Sr getting the telegram calling him back to work and an extended version of Tony outside of Stephanie's apartment. It was aired in HD and stereo (My recording is stereo but not HD). AMC ran the same cut not long after ABC. Have that on tape as well.
@davidcoppola- I know I was blown away when I first saw it. So awesome. Made me wonder if that was how it aired in it's network premier and following broadcasts on ABC and I never realized it.
djrage70 Hi! could you please load your recording? I am looking forward to see these rare scenes :) thank you so much
Iko Boy Wish I could. I don't have the hardware/software to copy video. One of the many things I would like to get soon
This was an awesome time. I'm glad I was there to enjoy it!
Probably one of the coolest movies ever made.. 👍
The music was the movie.
@@paulmanly3694 Yep..
Wow! I just watched this movie last weekend after 30 yrs and remember the scenes where they were left out. Thanks for sharing.
When I watch these clips I get a lump so big in throat I can hardly breathe . Me and a buddy went to see this everyday we could skipping school ect. Dreaming some day we would be in the Disco clubs and little did we know a year later we would be saying Disco suck s and joining the Kiss army but I can always see me and Bob sitting in the theater dreaming of being Disco kings like Tony
Travolta's "walking step" used here and in his solo scene is fabulous. There's a vid of Deney Terrio elsewhere on RUclips giving an instructional on it, the knee bouce, the clock splits. All moves I tried to learn as a teenager. Quite unsuccessfully, I might add.
KenRT14 LOL LOVED DANCE FACTORY w/Terrio on TV as a kid weekly... lol good times. hilarious.
Dance Fever you twit
The best in this movie is the music of the BEE GEES
Most of the songs sung by other artists on that soundtrack are written by the Brothers Gibb, too.
In the theatrical release, I believe "Disco Duck" was used in the adult disco-dancing class scene.
you are correct on that.
@@thevault6757 Fortunately it was NOT put on the soundtrack album :) (it was an RSO release too!)
I'm almost certain that, like the rest of the dance scenes, this one was also filmed without music, or, at least, not with music they had yet secured the rights to. Because they never used this scene, it likely never had a song associated with it, and so when they decided to release it as an extra, they dubbed in _Disco Duck_ since they already had the rights to it, but hadn't used it in a club scene. I often wonder what song they would have used had this scene made the final cut.
Was at that club before they started filming that scene when i use to live in Brooklyn.
Brad Stevens that club was there.
@@richardjames7382 Is it still there today?
@@bradstevens9604 It was in Bay Ridge called 2001 Odyssey, then became a Gay nightclub called Spectrum before its demise in the mid 2000's I believe...
@@sluzardo5879 Thanks for mentioning the name of the club back then since i didn't remember it so long ago.
802 2001 oddssey was a cabaret club n had a stainless steel floor the dancefloor was added to give the club some panache the club owner said when he came to see the film daily's you boy's made my place look great
Was at the Club every Night..70 years old and Me and My Friends still dance 3 nights a week..grew up in our Hood Dancing..im a Chocolate White Boy..everybody knows me..so thankful for a great life of Great Friends and Dancing keeps up kids young in our hearts and Body.

We know it was a scrip an part of the Movie...but it was Very Nice that He himself ask the lady who was in love with him...to dance to made her day.....! Nice human Touch of the Produce..!!! Well Done
I'm the same age as Barry and loved the Bee Gees. He was such a hunk. I live near him in Miami.
So.
Whaou!!! How lucky you are!! Please tell us more!! I would love to be living close to such a wonderful human being! I have feeling like the Gibb brothersl were radiating pure love around
@Benjamin: I was a little over 18 when this movie came out in November. 1977. 40+ years later, I could wear still wear these kind of clothes:) Back in the day. both Johnny T and Barry G were so beautiful with their bodies and hair.
I've uploaded this Disco Duck scene at least twice before over the years and each time i had removed along with the standard "warning". Hope this stays up. My other SNF upload was the Tony by the bridge scene. Thankfully it has remained.
Guess i got lucky here (so far lol). Yep, I seen you had the bridge scene up already, so thats why I didn't rip it and include it :)
SoEightiesItHurts yeah i never seen the disco duck scene in the movie this is the first time i watch that scene but the brigde scene is included in all the movie theater released since i watch it back then
The "Bridge Scene" has thankfully made it into the Directors Cut BD. That's a short but very important scene as it shows the character's desire to escape the small world he's living in, and it's an example of how different he is from his friends who don't seem to know they aren't going anywhere.. As far as the "Disco Duck" sequence, it's interesting to read that it was cut simply due to a copyright problem with the song..
Ali Wenzel the bridge scene and many other scenes were powerful and poignant. Travolta nailed the character of Tony. I wish more people would see SNF for the brilliant film it was rather than a dumb disco dance movie.
I remember seeing this film at the cinema when It first released here in the UK and it was given an
‘x rating’, for adults, if memory serves. Since then, in all it’s subsequent forms, video, dvd, and for tv, lots of scenes have been changed and some deleted in order to suit the changing audience and according to censorship.
It remains perhaps my favourite film, because it came at a time to provide a good influence.
Just as the character in the first deleted scene, I too and along with millions I’m sure,“ love to watch him dance”.
This is excellent! Thanks for sharing! Oh--they definitely should have kept both of these in the movie.
Good or Bad, the 70's really rocked/lived/ enjoyed LIFE!! Can you really say that about now?!!!?
Thanks for sharing this. I haven't seen these missing scenes for years.
Una época mágica e inolvidable que nunca volverá a repetirse. No habrá otra igual
Fernando Vitorin Perfettamente d’accordo, Fernando...! Anni ‘70 e ‘80, inimitabili, senza confronto.
Travolta.....my God......moves like a butterfly.
Simply divine!
@DLS - the only existing version where the full Night Fever line dance is included was in the Director's Cut version.
NO OTHER version, even the 40th Anniversary edition had it...
A Rarity for the collectors.
His walking step at 1:10 is genius in it's simplicity and effect. I was 16 when this came out in 1977 and I have yet to master that step after 40 years :-)
You need to pick up Night Moves by Deney Terrio! He’s who taught JT how to dance, and now he can teach you, too!
I have that! I bought at Good Will. It even has the book!
Nah it's easy
They should have kept that extended line dance scene in the movie it was really good !
it is in there
it's in there

@@denniseudela411 This is the version I'm talking about if you watch it closely you'll see this Night Fever Line dance scene is a little bit longer and it's not in the 40th anniversary director's cut it was only shown on television it was a few scenes in the television version that still wasn't included in the 40th anniversary Blu-Ray release
ruclips.net/video/D-lzzUgXiTg/видео.html This is the scenes I'm talking about
Disco! Good times back then.
This is so damn awesome!! I wish i was raised up during this era
I BET GROWING UP IN THAT AREA REALLY SUCKED!!
Only the music that was great. Not gadgets and technology items. hahaha
I was 13 when it came out. It was rated R. I looked older and they let me in. It was a great moment in my life that I will never forget.
Growing up when America was still America was fantastic and I thank God every day I was there to see it.
Don't worry your pretty little head you really didn't miss much. Etch a Sketch and Lite Brite was the best thing we had going as far as technology.
I was sooo born in the wrong time
Wooooooow!Travolta dancing the robot!!
Best Disco themed film ever!
Lovely days. Thanks for the nice video.
And jus like that I’m back in my bedroom as a young girl wishing I was disco dancing w Tony!
the dresses I wore and lip gloss and blush 💃👄💖..
I memorized this movie back in the early 80s when I got a copy on VHS (whether I purchased it at Suncoast, or recorded it off HBO, or whatever, I don't remember). I damn near watched it every Friday and Saturday night before I went out dancing. I fully remember these scenes. I'm sorry but, at least for me, these are not "lost" or "deleted". But thanks for sharing for those who may have missed them.
I love to watch you dance! Gets me every time😂😂😂😹😹😹
This one definitive film of the late 70"s so enthralled me I left West Germany with great hopes.
That was a bombass movie.
Back when music was great!
Love me my Rick Dees and his disco duck
That a fever that has no cure.
I was 17 back then. Funny to see how silly we all looked. Then again Disco was a one time in history era
Hey, it’s ok…I 17 in 1987-we looked ridiculous too ❤️😂⚡️
Okay, I can see why John Badham cut out the Disco Duck scene. lol
Pretty much making fun of fat people lmfao.
Who’s here after watching the movie!? I just saw it for the first time and it was a good moment of what was going on in the 70’s with music and style!
Me!!! I just watched it and the ending just kinda got me I wasnt expecting it to end so suddenly I wanted it to keep going 😭😂 I really loved it thou I wish I were raised in that era 😭
Best dancer EVER!!!!
Everyone has to remember, when the movie was re-released in 78 I believe or maybe early 79 it had a PG rating, that's how I saw the movie so they had this scene and the Bridge scene in it to take place of some other scenes like the sex in the car scene and topless dancer scene...Also the very last scene in the movie was longer, Tony knocks on the Stephanie's door and you see her walk down the stairs and then go up and she responds to Tony, the short version you only see her walking up the stairs and Tony asking her to open the door.
There's also a VERY violent gang fight scene and the movie was rated R when it first came out bu they wanted a teen audience so they toned the sex and violence down. If you see it on cable today all of it is intact.
The original movie - rated R - was released in '77. An edited version - rated PG for a wider audience - was re-released a year later (PG-13 did not yet exist).
The one and only Jhon Travolta 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🔟🔟🔟🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Ric- '''Thank Christ for that..'''
Lived it what more can one say
Dec 1977 age 16, went with parents to movie theatre double screen, Saturday Night Fever and Coma both starting at same time, we were supposed to see Coma with Michael Douglas but I told my parents I would sneak into the other Restricted theatre for Fever. Walked right in, no usher to stop me, I was 2 years underage, theatre was packed and what an experience, today's generation sure missed out on the excitement of seeing great movies on the big screen back in the day (Close Encounters, Looking For Mr Goodbar, Spy Who Loved Me, Annie Hall, Star Wars just to name a few from 77). After movie met parents in lobby and they loved Coma and I was thrilled about getting to see Fever. It's all over now, nothing but garbage movies/"music" society has gone down the toilet.
Coma came out in 1978 not 1977
@@danielstone5196 The internet says Jan 6/78, maybe it was after Christmas, thought it was before.
Few people know that this movie was originally supposed to be about a Puerto Rican disco dancer from the 70s in NY. Thats why Travolta included the scene where he got mad when the latin couple (who were better dancers) lost and then he gave them his trophy.
ahh man, I just kissed Al Pacino comment is hilarious!
That disco duck scene is the bomb!! I can't believe that they left it out!
SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER 👏👌 !!!
Doreen still has her hankerchief.
Lol I wonder if she never washed it since 1977 if it actually would last or weather away? It would be a collectible on eBay nowadays😀
Happy New year to all friends
2019
LUCKY FOR ME I WAS LIVING IN NEW YORK AT THIS TIME AND VISITED THIS CLUB. IT WAS FANTASTIC😀. THE STROBE LIGHTS, LIGHTED FLOOR, THE SHINY WALLS ETC. THE ATMOSPHERE WAS EXHILARATING AND THE WOMEN WE'RE SMOKING HOT 😋. IT WAS MY FAVORITE CLUB. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER 2001 ODYSSEY. TO BAD ALLOT OF YOU MISSED OUT😭.
Quelle belle époque !
Ça fait plaisir de voir qqn de France et lire cela !
Chick in the black dress who Tony danced with was stepping with in the line dance'! get it girl!
Tony doing The Robot and Locking. That should've gotten added to the director's cut.
No one wants to be reminded of their Disco Duckness.
@@hometreasuresii😂😂😂😂😂
awesome,don't forget scene where tonys dad gets his job back.
Didn't forget about it :) Just didn't include it as it's not "rare" so to speak anymore cause they included it in the DVD extras
The Vault o.k. thanx
the name is "doctor disco"by rick dees and his band of idiots.
***** the name is "doctor disco"by rick dees and his band of idiots.
Deryk BigD That song jams. Doctor Disco deserved more attention than it got
Disco Duck wasn't in the movie so as the SCENE was deleted, so was the song..Oh well. Love the Disco Duck, I would do the song at karoake, people got a charge out of it when I did the Duck voice.
It was really cool.
Peter, actually it did make it into the final cut briefly. When Tony comes into the studio looking for Stephanie, he asks Pete the manager if she has come in, and he says that she comes in on Tuesday, etc. Pete is teaching a disco dancing class to middle agers and Disco Duck is playing. That is why it is listed in the end credits.
John was the tallest guy in the floor yet had the best moves. Would usually be the opposite since tall people can't really dance.
Oh my didn't know John Travolta was that much great.
Oh man I busted out laughing when that chick said 'I just kissed Al Pacino!' what a great inside joke I am sure
Thank God they deleted this scene...lol
