    ‘KPOP DEMON HUNTERS’ is the first movie soundtrack in over 45 years to have 3 songs simultaneously in the Top 5 of the Billboard Hot 100. The last film to hit this milestone was ‘SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER’ in 1978.

    I’ve thought about this for a long time but there are very few movies that completely separate from its actual plot like Saturday Night Fever, a movie that involves a group rape and a guy falling to his death

    this guy's only other major credit is playing Al Pacino in "The Offer," the miniseries about the making of "The Godfather." I demand he also play Travolta in the "Saturday Night Fever" movie for the trifecta of '70s Italian movie stars

    I always sort of admired the Catholic Church for not putting Saturday Night Fever on its banned list, because the church noted that the movie shows the consequences of the shitty life the kids in the film were living. We think of it as a disco flick, but it's a damn sad movie.

    Born 18 February 1954 - US actor and singer, John Travolta. My favourite film from 1977 was "Saturday Night Fever" and my favourite from 1978 was "Grease", so as a 70s icon, this guy certainly takes some beating. Shame about the Scientology thing... #JohnTravolta #Grease #SaturdayNightFever

    The 24-year-old Princess was dancing with the actor John Travolta to the music of his 1977 film Saturday Night Fever in the Entrance Hall. The photographs & TV footage of them “gliding around the room” were widely circulated around the world, and the gown came to be known as the “Travolta dress”.

    The heartbreaking detail about Saturday Night Fever is that Travolta danced to “Lowdown” by Boz Scaggs on set but Paramount wouldn’t license it for the movie or the soundtrack because it was already in Looking For Mr. Goodbar released a month prior. We could have been living in a different world!

    Teriffic picture by the way! I was sold with the first shot — loud dance music, lurid lighting, gimme all a' that you got. The hard tonal break between the "fuck around" and "find out" phases of the film shouldn't work but does. Mikey Madison is basically John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever.
