Staying Alive Stallone Travolta NYC

par Professional Portal ☀️: Rocky

Staying Alive is where Rocky Balboa and Tony Manero briefly collide on a crowded New York City street. Sylvester Stallone directed the film, co-wrote it, and slipped in an uncredited cameo as his own character. This project marked the final non-Rocky movie Stallone directed until Rambo arrived in 2008. John Travolta spent five months in rigorous physical training to become a Broadway dancer, dropping 20 pounds to hit that specific physique. Travolta later stated that Stallone was his absolute favorite director to work with because he uniquely understood how to make an actor look his best on camera. The movie faced harsh criticism and holds a notoriously low score on Rotten Tomatoes, yet it grossed over $127 million against a $22 million budget. #Rocky
