CHATSWORTH, Calif. — When director Jordan Septo set out to make “Saturday Night Fever XXX: An Exquisite Films Parody,” he wanted to create something more than just another porn spoof.

In the wake of the movie’s release, critics and consumers alike have recognized that commitment to excellence with high praise and chartbusting sales. As awards season approaches for the X-rated industry, this adult tribute to the movie that defined the disco era has shaped up as a top contender in numerous categories, making “Saturday Night Fever XXX” a must-stock item for smart retailers who know that quality sells.

“There is no doubt in my mind [that] ‘Saturday Night Fever XXX’ will be one of the biggest hits of the year and beyond,” raves NightMoves magazine editor Art Koch. “This film will be on the award nomination lists in just about every category from everyone. It is more than a parody and it is more than porn. This is a true, all-out mainstream production that is a 5 star winner in every way!”

“Saturday Night Fever XXX: An Exquisite Films Parody” is the story of Tony (Seth Gamble), a young man who is king of the disco dance floor. Stuck in a dead-end job and considered the black sheep of the family, his dancing and his hair are the only things Tony is passionate about… until he meets Stephanie (Allie Haze). She shows him there is world outside of Brooklyn where anything is possible, and the sex is even hotter than their dance moves. Luscious Kristina Rose completes the love triangle as Annette.

The superb supporting cast includes Xander Corvus (Bobby), Lexi Belle (Pauline), Johnny Castle (Double J) and Evan Stone (Tony’s Dad), as well as Nicki Hunter (Tony’s Mom), Dale DaBone, Vicki Chase, Alec Knight and Brandy Aniston.

Adult Video News (AVN) gave “Saturday Night Fever XXX” a near-perfect AAAA1/2 rating. Senior Editor Mark Kernes remarked, “The art direction in this movie is top-notch.”

Industry trade publication XBIZ awarded “Saturday Night Fever XXX” a coveted Editor’s Choice review, citing the film’s attention to detail in its replication of the 1970s Hollywood smash. “From Tony’s swaggering strut in the opening scene to the climax of the dance competition and every bump and grind in between, this parody makes great efforts to faithfully follow the storyline of ‘Saturday Night Fever’…the parody succeeds to a large extent, creating the right atmosphere with polyester clothes, the groovy beats of disco music, and a lighted dance floor where many of the movie’s famous dance sequences take place.”

Exquisite Films has pulled out all the stops in marketing “Saturday Night Fever XXX,” packaging the epic feature with a bonus disc of classic ‘70s porn footage featuring such golden age stars as Vanessa Del Rio, Dorothy LeMay, and R. Bolla.

“This three-disc set from Exquisite is a really impressive piece of work,” says veteran X-rated movie critic Roger T. Pipe of RogReviews.com.

“It’s a solid parody with a lot of appeal plus some great bonus material…it really goes for authenticity. Getting this one right was a challenge. It has a unique look and the music alone is quite an accomplishment. The dance scenes are fantastic. They have done a nice job of setting the atmosphere… the choreography is simply fantastic.”

Consumers are responding to the movie, too, as reflected in sales figures and on websites such as SupportAPorn.com, where reviewer Danielle raves, “As a fan of Saturday Night Fever, I have been eager to sit down and watch the XXX Parody by Exquisite Films. I have always been impressed by their parodies they have produced in the past; therefore, I had pretty high expectations for this one. Finally, last night, Brandon and I bought the DVD, watched the film, and enjoyed every minute of it.

“The main cast members include two beautiful girls: Allie Haze and Kristina Rose, and a great Travolta look alike, Seth Gamble, who plays an incredible role as Tony. The cast could not have been better and the scenes are smoking hot! From the music, to the platform shoes and tight dresses, the film closely resembled the Hollywood version. ‘Saturday Night Fever XXX: An Exquisite Films Parody’ is a must for anyone who enjoys a memorable adult film.”

NightMoves editor Koch says it best: “While this is a parody, it is also a tremendous tribute film of mainstream proportions. From the opening credits to the closing credits, the music, sets, costumes, storyline and the acting performances pay true homage to the original. An incredible cast, dance sequences are exceptional and the direction by Jordan Septo is spot on as he lets the actors become the characters in and out of the bedroom, bringing out the humor, the drama, excitement and sexuality totally. The sex scenes come the right time adding to the overall production where the original couldn’t and they are done in a sensual, lustful, intense manner bringing out the passion and need while providing some great turn on moments from this hot cast.”

“I have never had a cast so passionate about a project as with ‘Saturday Night Fever XXX’,” says director Jordan Septo. “Seth, Allie, Kristina, Evan and the rest of the performers poured themselves into their roles. Whether they were acting, dancing or having sex, everyone completely transformed into their character, giving fans the perfect sexy parody.”
