I have very mixed feelings over this film but it' decent entertainment. DH has never watched it and is suitably 'wtf is this'. Grin

@GoFiguire
What's that in my continue watching list? Oh yeah. Its Grease. So you can take back your thinly veiled liar accusation.

Loved it as a kid (90s kid), no idea about the pregnancy storyline, straight over my head! Also thought it was made in the same era it is set in... So as a teen I was very confused about John Travolta still kicking about and not being that old Blush

I also prefer Grease 2 Smile

I loved Rizzo in this. Also Kenickie was way hotter than Danny😊

DukeOfEarlGrey · 19/04/2020 21:55

I was also an embarrassingly devoted Grease 2 fan as a kid —and ensuing adult—

DukeOfEarlGrey · 19/04/2020 21:56

Strike through fail☹️

UncleMatthewsEntrenchingTool · 19/04/2020 21:58

BBC usually cut out Kenickie and Rizzo having sex in the car

Fav film

I loved it when I was younger!! I watched it earlier and I just thought how were these men ever meant to pass as 18 Grin, I tried to get my 5 y/o to watch but she wasn’t interested...

TweetUsOnFacebook · 19/04/2020 22:03

I first saw it when I was 8 and have loved it ever since. As I've aged I realise how old they all look for high school students. I'm sure most of the actors were in their mid to late 20's. Coco and Kenickie have died, sadly.

chomalungma · 19/04/2020 22:04

The characters could certainly get a lot of MN threads out of what they go through

AvonBarksdale99 · 19/04/2020 22:11

If you prefer Grease 2 you should be banned from ever watching a film ever again

mondaynoon · 19/04/2020 22:17

I don't think I've watched since I was 13 and DC have been laughing at me singing along to it! Really cheered me up (together with a couple of glasses of wine).

Amboseli · 19/04/2020 22:19

Love it! Went to the sing a long version at the cinema a few years ago!

Nomorewineever · 19/04/2020 22:23

Best film ever!!

Now my DD is getting older (teen) we are also watching loads of john hughes classics like pretty in pink and the breakfast club.

WeAllHaveWings · 19/04/2020 22:29

I've recorded and will watch when dh isn't around.....could have a long wait 🤦🏻‍♀️

tothesea · 19/04/2020 22:34

I agree with pp just enjoy it for what it is. Olivia Newton John looked insanely hot as a ‘bad girl’ ... those trousers so tight!!
John Travolta straddling the engine in Greased Lightning ...I mean c’mon it’s a musical set in the 1950’s made in the 1970’s it’s hardly likely to be a vision of enlightenment.
I love it!!

Sparklingbrook · 19/04/2020 23:23

I enjoyed it for what it was on the whole. I hate the bit in the dance competition where Sandy gets bundled off and he carries on dancing with whatsername. Sandy should not have gone back after that.Angry

I don't care much about the end bit with her changing for him because Your'e the One that I Want is a great tune.

Love this film! I’m 10 years old watching it in the cinema for the 1st time, dreaming of meeting my Danny and wanting to be sexy Sandy when I grew up!

TinklyLittleLaugh · 19/04/2020 23:30

But he turns up in a cardigan to the last scene; he is changing for her too. Then quickly whips his cardigan off when he sees she has gone all hot girl.

DH says he prefers girl-next-door Sandy. I feel oddly insulted by that.

Sparklingbrook · 19/04/2020 23:32

Can someone summarise the plot of Grease 2 for me I have never seen it. Is it a continuation of Danny/Sandy or another lot?

rosieposeydoll · 20/04/2020 06:10

It's still the T-birds and the Pink Ladies but a different cast playing different characters. Michelle Pfeiffer plays the female lead Stephanie Zinone, and she thinks she's outgrown the T-birds and wants a 'cool rider'. It's an entertaining film, and definitely worth a watch, I think.

HugeAckmansWife · 20/04/2020 07:34

There's a song in Grease 2 all about 'Reproduction'.. Hilarious. I was thinking about Grease for my two tweens. Just showed the Ferris Beuller.. Apart from a few 'shits' and 'piss me off' it's fine

Mucklowe · 20/04/2020 07:50

My parents let me watch it when I was about 7. Most of the references went over my head! That part about "her jugs are bigger than Annette's" - I just thought they were talking about actual jugs...

EyeDrops · 20/04/2020 07:58

Grease 2 is incredible. It doesn't take itself seriously at all. It's a lighthearted, fun watch. I grew up with Grease, only came across Grease 2 a few years ago but genuinely prefer it as entertainment!

It bears very little relation to Grease besides having T-birds and Pink Ladies. The main guy is supposed to be Sandy's cousin.
