Saturday Night Fever - Opening Sequence

The opening title sequence that shaped the look, feel and fashion of the disco era with John Travolta strutting through the streets of Brooklyn wearing back slacks and Cuban Heels to “Night Fever” by The Bee Gees, the band that sold millions after this.

  • Saturday Night Fever - Slapping Scene

    The scene at home where Tony Manero (JT) sits down to eat with his family and an argument erupts with each member of the family slapping each other in turn – totally hilarious

  • Saturday Night Fever - Night Fever Group Dance

    The most famous piece of the movie for me with the group dance sequence to “Night Fever” – may have been so aped by now that it seems “cheesey” but back then it defined cool on the floor!

  • Saturday Night Fever - Bees Knees Dance

    Another key dance segment with JT solo dancing to The Bee Gees “You Should Be Dancin'” again emulated ad infinitum all across the world – STILL!

  • Saturday Night Fever - Narrow Bridge Death

    (SPOILER ALERT) The horrific bridge scene where one of Tony’s gang is clowning around on the Verazza – Narrows Bridge and plunges to his death, I remember being bummed out as a kid when I first saw that. I guess it marks an end to Tony’s adolescence larking about in gangs so it’s a kind of a poignant moment in the film.
