If you loved Paradise Alley, try Staying Alive
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Sylvester Stallone, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Paradise Alley, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Staying Alive is
Five years after disco’s decline, Tony Manero trades the Brooklyn streets for Broadway’s glare. A dancer with star power but no discipline gets one shot at a chorus line spot. The sequel pivots from dance floors to leg warmers, but the moves stay perilously familiar.
