To be horrified by people that don't think Grease 2 is better than Grease?

How do these people generally function in life? Grease 2 is clearly the superior film over Grease. It features the Pink Ladies Pledge for crying out loud!

Noooooo

Where's the vote?

Grease is the word!

I actually haven’t seen Grease 2 but keep hearing its superior. No ONJ or JT though- how can it be so!

Bit lots of posters think Grease 1 is a very bad film indeed fir lots of reasons. Mainly overthinking ones and not accepting it’s a story. 😂

We can't be friends OP.

Well it has MP (Michelle Pfeiffer) in the starring role, who's always a delight to watch, however she's cast!

It all made sense when I found it was made as a parody of 50's high school movies. The characters obviously older than teenagers, the flying car at the end 😄

Grease 2 is superior in every way..The opening mumber alone wipes the floor with any numbers in Grease.

CongaLine · 04/12/2022 17:39

The songs were better in Grease 2.

Reproduction and Score Tonight were much more memorable.

Thank you for being honest and warning me upfront. I don't know how I'd live down being in public with someone who then blurts out in front of a crowd they think Grease is better than Grease 2! The shame!!

I had a similar disagreement about Footloose.

I know it's a remake, but how on earth can people think the newer Footloose is better than the Kevin Bacon version. Really now.

(Kevin bacon is still hot now all these years later.. Sigh. John Travolta, not so much)

FatimaHatima · 04/12/2022 17:40

Of course Grease 2 is better! What kind of lunatic likes Grease more?

TapertandEdkins · 04/12/2022 17:41

The lyrics from the song Reproduction from Grease 2 are hilarious!

VivaDixie · 04/12/2022 17:41

Totally agree OP
To this day I cannot go bowling without singing 'Let's bowl let's bowl let's ROCK and ROLL' 😂

You are so right! We can be friends 🙂
some people just have no taste!

All together now... "Hello, Michael Carrington". (hello, indeed!!)

See, now this is the sort of balanced level-headedness we need to see more of of MN. I think AIBU would be a lot less unhinged with sensible views like yours being prominent.

Grease 2 gets my vote too! I love
Grease aswell but the music is better for sure in 2!

Lockdownmummy · 04/12/2022 17:48

YANBU!

But the number of people with this superior opinion is few and far between!!!

magicstar1 · 04/12/2022 17:48

Good God, what are you people on! Grease is a far better movie. Grease 2 is terrible 😂

LostAtTheCrossRoad · 04/12/2022 17:49

Are you fucking joking?! 😂 Grease 2 is absolutely awful! But u will grant you that Michelle Pfeiffer's start quality just shines out of the screen. Everyone else, the script, the songs, the plot (if you can even dignify it with that description) is dire!

We are not friends!

UsingChangeofName · 04/12/2022 17:54

I can understand why you haven't activated the voting. You would be upset to see just how very wrong you are.

Batterseabunny · 04/12/2022 17:57

I LOVE Grease 2. I’ll be your girl for all seasons - classic!!! Let’s do it for our country is amazing - I sing my heart out to it. 🤣

I feel like there's a hierarchy within this world:

Grease 2 fans

Delusional people

I really like Grease 2 and regularly find myself humming a Girl for all Seasons. It does have its moments though. The song trying to coerce the girlfriend into sex before marriage is a bit hmmmmm

America is calling, let's care enough to give our very best.
For if we give our very best,
I know that we will more than pass the test.
If I could have three wishes, I'd wish that you'd live free,
I'd wish for amber waves of grain from sea to shining sea.

Yeah, let's do it for our country, the red, white, and the blue.
It's Uncle Sam who's asking, so your mother will approve.
Tomorrow I'll be fighting, and I'll win this war for you.
Let's do it for our country, our country wants us to.

Bullets are exploding, they'll soon be at the door,
Give something to America you never gave before.
Yeah, let's do it for our country, the red, white, and the blue,
If the President were standin' here, I'm sure he would approve.
I'll be a mighty soldier before this night is through.
Let's do it for our country, our country wants us to.

(Spoken)
Just think about it -- it would be like as if we were doing it for the Statue of Liberty, or the Grand Canyon, or the New York Yankees... it would be like as if we were doing it for... Disneyland!

Yeah, let's do it for our country, the red, white, and the blue,
It's not a lot to ask of us, our parents will approve.
Tomorrow I'll be fighting, and I'll win this war for you.
Let's do it for our country, (spoken) we owe it to our country.
Let's do it for our country, our country wants us to.
