Rocky director John G. Avildsen decided not to return for Rocky II partly because he was attached to direct Saturday Night Fever, leaving Sylvester Stallone the opportunity to write and direct it himself. Not only did Avildsen eventually leave that project, but Stallone would ironically go on to write and direct the sequel, Staying Alive, in 1983. Avildsen would later come back to direct Rocky V (1990) 11 years later.
