Should I expand on this ? --Martin TB 14:13, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I think it should have its own article. It really is a different entity from the film. Asa01 08:29, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Let's do a better story description!

The short 1 paragraph story description really doesn't do the movie any justice. I mean, it touched upon all the characters but it was so matter-of-fact that it read like VCR instructions. I myself haven't seen the movie in years, but a few things that should be included in the story are: John Travolta and his friends breaking into a rival gangs hang out and trashing it, only to find out it might have been the wrong gang. The death of the really nerdy friend who dances on the Brooklyn Bridge (iconic scene!). The White Castle scene. The scene where Tony complains when his dad hits his hair. "I work all day on my hair and he hits it. He hits my hair." Also, for something really special, when explaining the story why not include the BeeGee songs at the appropriate moments of the story. Lastly, definitive mention of John Travolta's famous 'strut' should really be hammered here. Come on Wikipedians, let get in gear!!! Fadedroots 04:18, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Saturday Night Beaver

Should we mention "saturday ahahahhahnight beaver", a parody I noticed in GTA Vice City video game?

I would say no. The point of an article is to provide information about the subject of the article, not random information about other things that reference the subject of the article, if you can see the difference. The only way the parody would be relevant would be in the context of discussing how much of an enduring impact on pop culture SNF has had; given the apparent minor and obscure nature of the thing you noticed, I think there are probably much better examples to make that point.

There is a discussion taking place at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Films#References_in_Popular_Culture_Project about such sections, to which you are all invited to contribute. The JPS 12:29, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Test of Time

This is one of those movies that when you saw it, you thought it was great. Years later you watch it and you think to yourself, "WTF, I once thought this movie was good ?"

I'd say its stood the test of time more than most films. Ok its really disco based but certainly the storyline and acting held up better than most films - noticeably Grease.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Saturday Night Fever2.jpg

Image:Saturday Night Fever2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
