‘Staying Alive” is an American film released on July 15, 1983 at the TCL Chinese Theatre (also called Mann’s Chinese Theatre), a movie palace on the historic Hollywood Walk of Fame on Hollywood Blvd. The movie ran for 96 minutes and was considered a dance musical, starring John Travlota as dancer Tony Manero. It is a sequel to ‘Saturday Night Fever’ (1977).

The film was directed by Sylvester Stallone (born 1946), who also co-produced and co-wrote the film with the original ‘Saturday Night Fever’ producer and writer, Robert Stigwood and Moran Wexler, respectively. This is one of only two films that Stallone wrote without being the star, although he does have a cameo appearance in ‘Staying Alive’ as Man on Street (uncredited). The movie has a scene where Sylvester Stallone and John Travolta bump into each other on the street.

Stallone is an American actor, director, producer, and screen writer who struggled as an actor for a number of years before his co-starring role as Stanley Rosiello in “The Lords of Flatbush’. He later achieved his greatest critical and commercial success as an actor, staring in 1976 with his self-created role as the boxer Rocky Balboa, in the ‘Rocky’ series (1976-2018).

Stallone is the only actor in the history of U.S. cinema to have starred in a box office number one film across five consecutive decades.
