John Travolta ran two miles a day and danced for three hours daily to get in shape for this film. In the end, he dropped 20 pounds.
John Travolta had worked hard on the "You Should Be Dancing" sequence and threatened to quit the film when the studio suggested it should be shot in close-up instead of full-body.
Production had to be briefly halted so that John Travolta could attend the funeral of his girlfriend Diana Hyland. The couple had earlier appeared in The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976), their only joint venture. It was Hyland who encouraged Travolta to take the role of Tony Manero.
When Tony's dad hits him in the back of the head during dinner, his retort of "just watch the hair!" and complained about being hit on the hair after he had worked on it was John Travolta's own reaction and not scripted, but since it was so in character for Tony Manero to say, it was left in.
When John Travolta first saw the rushes, he was greatly upset that his solo dance was cut in close-up. He called Robert Stigwood and relayed his concerns. It didn't seem right, he explained, that he had worked so hard to get in shape and learn a complex dance just to see the sequence cut down in the editing room. It was important to Travolta for audiences to see his work and to know without a doubt that he was doing his own dancing. Stigwood agreed and told Travolta to go back and sit with the editors and personally supervise a new cut of the solo sequence.
"Connie: So tell me, are you as good in bed as you are on that dance floor? Connie: [a few minutes later, after having danced together] So when is Connie going to get her answer? Tony Manero: You know, Connie, if you're as good in bed as you are on the dance floor, I'll bet you're one lousy fuck. Connie: Then how come they always send me flowers the next morning? Tony Manero: 'Cause most guys don't know a lousy fuck when they've had one. Or I dunno. Maybe they thought you was dead."
"Fusco: You can save a little, build a future. Tony Manero: Oh fuck the future! Fusco: No, Tony! You can't fuck the future. The future fucks you! It catches up with you and it fucks you if you ain't planned for it? Tony Manero: Look, tonight is the future, and I am planning for it! There's this shirt I gotta buy, a beautiful shirt."
