Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Highly recommended--for Saturday Night Fever completists and connoisseurs of bad movies. This notable dud updates the story of Tony Manero (John Travolta), the disco prince from Fever, as he heads across the river to Manhattan and tries to make it as a dancer on Broadway. Someone had the bright idea of handing Staying Alive to Sylvester Stallone, who directed and cowrote the screenplay (and pops up in a shameless two-second cameo). Stallone gives the picture the pumped-up Rocky treatment, and completely misses the dance-floor excitement of Saturday Night Fever. Travolta tries to recapture his signature role, but this is one of the movies that put his career into its pre-Pulp Fiction deep freeze. The action culminates in a laughable Broadway opening night that really should be seen to be disbelieved. --Robert Horton

An entertaining cable TV watch. Nothing else........2007-04-29
I wouldn't recommend paying to see this in general. Its not great ,but its a million times better than Grease 2. If you have nothing else better to do, its a decent flick to see. I've seen it twice out of sheer Saturday mid-day boredom. Its entertaining, completely copies "Saturday Night Fever" minus everything that made it legendary. This time its a broadway show! Oh wow, way to step it up! Nothing special. It tries. Ultimately TNT should buy the rights because its only good for cable.
embarrassing.......2007-01-11
I think this movie just falls into the so bad it's good category. It's like a car wreck, you can't look at it but can't look away. I actually squirm with embarrassment for the actors at times. Sylvestor Stallone having the nerve to copy Alfred Hitchcock when he would always appear at some point in his movies for a second is just plain vanity showing, but he doesn't seem to understand that he is not even close to Alfred's league. And the guy playing the director of the show that Tony is in, I don't think I've ever seen a grown man wearing boots to the knee that wasn't doing some kind of work that required protecting your lower legs, or on a safari or something, yet he struts around with his pants tucked into them, I guess the height of fashion in the early 80's. The music was ok overall, but not anywhere matching Saturday Night Fever, although I did like Cynthia Rhodes singing ( if that's her singing and not a voice dubbed in), and liked her in general. And when he's waiting for a call from the show to see if he get's in it, he's strutting around the lobby of his apartment building with this little transistor radio, with music coming out of it like it's a Bose radio. And the ridiculous show he's supposed to be in, no one in their right minds would pay money to see it. Yet, I still occasionally pull it out and watch it, I really don't know why, there is no explanation for it and no defense for it. As for some of the reviewers who gave it 5 stars, good god, you people must have only seen 3 movies in your lives, Ishtar, Howard the Duck , and Staying Alive. In this is the case, then Staying Alive is indeed a great movie. Watch a real great movie and do a comparison. However, I have to say John Travolta sure had a great body in it, then you see him approx. 20 years later and he let his body go to pot in Pulp Fiction.
good as it gets.......2006-03-09
this is one of those movies that you need to watch when you have a hankering for the guilty pleasure of spandex, sequins, the bee gees and primiscuous loving. I think everyone who has seen saturday night fever needs to own this. and those who haven't seen it need to watch it
chaos princess.......2006-02-09
I really wanted to like this movie more. Travolta is still the man Tony Monero, but I think the film lack the depth in the charcters that Saturday Night Fever. Travolta though can still shake what his mama gave him.
Should be "No stars".......2005-09-21
This was one gawdawful movie. I have never seen "Saturday Night Fever" and this is the first time I saw the sequel, and it was just horrid. The story was dull, the dancing was mediocre, and the characters generated little interest. Cynthia Rhodes was the only redeeming actor here. The Broadway show "Satans Alley" was so silly, it was more comedy than great dancing. It nearly reaches the "so bad its good" status, but not quite. Stay away, unless you want to be reminded of the worst of the 80's, tacky outfits, bad music and all.

Sweet Video!.......2004-09-11
This is a great video to watch some insane water fall running and creek boating. Very well produced.
Redefining what can be done in a kayak.......2001-02-23
This is the kind of video that makes you feel like a wuss the next time you go boating. Even non-boating friends will watch this and not think you are weird for liking it.
Life At Its Fullest.......2000-04-12
This is a GREAT whitewater video! It is especially exciting to see a woman, Shannon Carroll, doing these hair raising moves. I held my breath during her rescue with the rope. Tao's record breaking waterfall descent was another TWITCH y moment. Also liked the magnificent scenery.
