To wish Danny and Sandy didn't fly off in the car?

[MyGastIsFlabbered]

At the end of Grease? To me it’s just a horrible cheesy ending to one of my favourite films. And yes, watching it as a grown up i can see its messages are sexist and wrong and Danny is a complete turd, but I loved it as a child and can’t put it aside.

But the car, no...crap even as a child.

[MollyHuaCha]

You wish they hadn’t ended the film by flying off in the car?

I wish they hadn’t ended the film by changing Sandy into a slapper.

[Laiste]

The Toy Story one about Andy's mum being the little girl who originally abandoned Jessie fascinated me.

[TheQueenOfWands]

Maybe they weren't flying off in the car but everyone else was falling into a sinkhole to their deaths?

Would also explain Sandy waving goodbye...

[RJnomore1]

Ohhh that's incredibly sad

[PumpkinSquash]

Isn't the Phoebe theory that she's a drug addict, homeless person sleeping rough in Central Park and she spots the 'Friends' in the window of Central Perk and makes up a whole fantasy in her head to escape for her horrible life? So the whole Friends series is Phoebe's little fantasy world?

Aw, what? What a load of bollox. (The theory, not you lol.)

[Innocentbystander01]

The rugrats one is horrible

[PineConesAplenty]

So you are fine with a woman changing her appearance, smoking, pretending to be something she isn't etc to please the man she wants, but a flying car is too much?

I think it was John Oliver who said during the song summer lovin' when Danny is asked "did she put up a fight" we should be halting the movie right there saying, wait, what? You had to force yourself on her? Brilliant role model for young girls.

[Sparklingbrook]

That was all discussed on here only last week Pine...

[Wishfulmakeupping]

God the rugrats one bloody awful some people have too much time on their hands coming up with this stuff

[PoppyPopcorn]

A much better ending would have been Sandy staying exactly as she was, telling Danny and the bitch-clique of the Pink Ladies to fuck off and heading off to Yale/Havard.

[ParadiseLaundry]

Oh, god. Come on, we need the Rugrats one now!

[TheQueenOfWands]

The Rugrats are all dead. Apart from Angelica.

I'd post details but it's pretty grim and possibly triggering for some people.

[Dahlietta]

Haha, Friends does make a lot of sense with the Phoebe theory!!

[TheQueenOfWands]

It does.

Especially is Phoebe is the most attention seeking out of them all. She dominates most episodes.

[PaperdollCartoon]

I love Phoebe! Yes she’s weird but she’s had a bad life and she’s still positive and upbeat. Ya’ll are mean.

[TheQueenOfWands]

Positive?

She's a bully!! Proper mean.

[ILoveMillhousesDad]

Oh fucking hell. Another thread over-analysing Grease. We JUST had one a few days ago.

Better not mention what I think of Pretty Woman then.

[NorthCoast]

I love the one about Labyrinth - was obsessed with that film when I was younger.

[Rachie1986]

Can we please have a link to the Phoebe friends theory please?

And that Grease one has changed my perception forever..!

[Theresnonamesleft]

In the original script, they didn't fly off in the car. There was no flying car.
They all go off together, with arms around each other, singing a verse, and start dancing again.

[ILoveMillhousesDad]

I do agree though, Grease is a sexist, pro-bullying piece of shit, and I probably won't show it to my dd, but also Pretty Woman. OMG. Great soundtrack though.

[MyGastIsFlabbered]

Sorry this was meant to be a light hearted thread about the stupid ending to Grease not an in depth dissection of it.

[Sparklingbrook]

Oh don't worry MyGast. The flying off in the car thing was . But people do like to pick films to bits.

I might start a thread asking if Back to the Future is based on a true story.

[HulaMelody]

To the pp who mentioned Harvard, as much as I would like to see Sandy put two fingers up to those smoking, singing delinquents she wanted to be friends with () there is nothing in the film to suggest she is brainy...
