To say that Grease 2 is way better than Grease

I'm watching it now with my 14 year old step daughter. The songs are brilliant and everything about Michelle Pheiffer is perfection.. especially her hair!
Who agrees with me?

I still laugh like a drain when Johnny swallows his cigarette

OoohLovelySlippers · 03/03/2024 00:47

I’m straight, but when she throws her leg over that stepladder…. 😅

😂 😂

YANBU. GREAT songs.

Absolutely agreed! Way better and I always loved Maxwell Caulfield, he was beautiful! Michael definitely hot as fuck. Miles Colby was another favourite

YANBU @ineedtogoshoppingnow.

They are two very different films but Grease 2 edges it for me.

The problem with Grease 1 is that it's all downhill after 'Summer lovin'

The problem with Grease 2 is that it's never uphill 😃

Eminybob · 03/03/2024 02:11

I don't think I've seen it since I was a teen, but as soon as PP mentioned the song names I they come flooding right back.

Anyone know where I can watch it now?

Eminybob · 03/03/2024 02:13

Just seen its on Paramount, I don't think I have that 😢

@LunaNorth

It is sad but I hope it made her happy. It was an amazing school, they had a big assembly about AIDS (she'd caught it from a blood transfusion) and told us all that when she was well enough to be in school we were to all make sure she felt included.
She'd sit in the ' quiet area ' they had in out playground, meant for reading, wrapped in a blanket and we'd perform Grease 2, Dirty Dancing, Joseph's dream coat and I also remember doing the Cher song from Mermaids. I hope it helped her family, it's really sad.

You were good kids.

Oh my god nooooo
I couldn't disagree more Grin

Me too

Thinking about Michael / Cycle, what do you think came first? The name or the lyric? I really want it to be true that they named him Michael because it rhymes with Cycle 😄

42n82noluv · 03/03/2024 07:35

No lie told, Grease 2 is better!

I googled this. Google was not helpful.

HOWEVER

I found out that the actress playing Paulette was Judy garland's daughter!

I did not have a clue!

Loved Grease 2! So much better than the first!

AhBiscuits · 03/03/2024 08:09

I'm 100% watching this again today.

Tailfeather · 03/03/2024 08:46

YES!!!!

8misskitty8 · 03/03/2024 09:10

Loved this film growing up. I even gave the novel !
Maxwell caulfield was so hot, those lips.

Chilliandbanana · 03/03/2024 09:16

LauderSyme · 02/03/2024 20:51

Noooo! I mean yes, she is absolutely gorgeous but the original Grease is definitely the best!

If you're looking for Michelle Pfeiffer perfection I recommend Dangerous Liaisons and The Witches of Eastwick instead 😉

Or The Fabulous Baker Boys!

DryIce · 03/03/2024 09:23

I love you OP for bring Grease 2 back into my mind!

It is absolutely superior and every song is a banger

Minniliscious · 03/03/2024 09:24

“Who’s that guy? He’s taking the piss ….

What would they say if they knew it was Chris?”

LadeOde · 03/03/2024 09:46

I've always said this @OP it is waaayyy better than grease 1.

By the way, wasn't Michael in Eastenders? Maxwell Cauldfield, that threw me a bit.

MrsSkylerWhite · 03/03/2024 09:47

They’re both terrible.

I find it hysterical that they probably called him Micheal because it rhymes with cycle.
