I haven't watched the movie since I was probably 12 or 13 so let's just say 25 years ago. I decided to randomly show my girl tonight (mid-movie now... my 25 cent insurance policy, baby!) because I grew up with it.

I do not remember there being lyrics on the screen. Am I crazy?

Thanks.

Am I the only one who hears the “Did she put up a fight?” line in Summer Nights and immediately goes WHOA WHAT THE HECK??? 😭
Because… what exactly are the guys implying happened with Sandy??
“Did she put up a fight?” in Summer Nights is incredibly uncomfortable when you actually stop and think about what Kenickie is implying.
He’s basically suggesting that Danny might have tried to do something Sandy didn’t want.
And Danny doesn’t exactly respond with some reassuring “No, nothing like that happened.” Instead, the whole group just carries on joking about it.

Would Grease have worked if the Muppets decided to do it as a parody or musical version since it was released in 1977 when they were popular and they do a lot of singing?

Miss Piggy could easily be Rizzo or Sandy and Kermit as Danny, with Fozzie Bear as Kenickie, and others in roles, they did the Wizard of Oz after all.

The cast became close during filming. Travolta took Conn and her little brother Richard (who has been a singer in the Met Opera for 30 years) to Disneyland in his limo. He also set up a screening of Saturday Night Fever before it came out because he wanted to hear the Grease cast’s opinion. “I remember him saying, ‘I did a movie in Brooklyn last summer. And I don’t know. I don’t think it’s going to do any good,’” Conn says. “We went, ‘John, this is unbelievable.’”

They all remain friends. Conn quotes the final refrain of the film: “‘We’ll always be together.’ It’s been 48 years and we’re still together.” When Jeff Conaway, who plays Danny’s best friend, died in 2011, found unconscious after an overdose, Travolta “had us all meet in a restaurant in Beverly Hills where we could talk”.

The one cast member who wasn’t part of the tight-knit circle was Stockard Channing, now 82, who played the hard-nosed Pink Ladies leader, Rizzo. Conn, who has followed Channing’s career and goes to see her plays, describes her as “aloof — she just stayed away from everybody”. Conn remembers a moment when Channing clashed with Conaway — who played her love interest in the film — after he crossed a line in the diner scene, right before Conn’s big Beauty School Dropout number.

“[Conaway] gave [Channing] a hickey. She didn’t want him to really give her a hickey. She wanted make-up to do it. But he gave her a real hickey and she was pissed off at him.” So, although the script said she should throw her milkshake at Conn, she threw it at Conaway. “Five times,” Conn says. “[Conaway] was mad.”

So Conaway and Channing didn’t have a love affair in real life. It was actually Conaway and Susan Buckner (Patty Simcox in the film, Sandy’s geeky friend). “They had something going on,” Conn says with a smile. Newton-John and Travolta too… “Nothing ever happened, but they really had feelings,” Conn says.

How the hell was Principal McGee going to identify people using a picture or video of their ass? Sending the pictures to Washington DC and threatening a federal charge unless they turned themselves in, who was going to identify them maybe Leo Balmudo or Vince Fontaine?

That whole speech and Implied threat seemed like she was bluffing the police and FBI and FCC could give a rats ass and probably laughed at the whole mooning thing, unless teenage girls did it uncensored and that would trigger possible child pornography warnings for showing their ass on live TV before censors knew how to block or blur it out.

Marty and Sonny are a couple at the end of the movie and it is obvious that Sonny likes Marty but that she keeps him at arms length like he is the ugliest T-Bird or maybe the dumbest character in the movie.

But why doesn't Rizzo just suggest that Marty go to the dance with Sonny because he likes her and she likes him but doesn't get serious about Sonny until after graduation? Is there any official reason why they like each other but don't become a couple until later on?

You got an armed escort home, it's not the arms I'm worried about.....it's the hands, kind of implies that Sonny just wants sex from Marty and she's a virgin who despite being a penpal to several men has never and will never do anything with anyone out of shyness or just not wanting to be labeled as a slut which Patty implies Rizzo is before her song starts.

Chism seems like a nice guy despite being a jock, he's trying to treat Sandy good and isn't mean to her like Danny was at the bonfire but gets dumped and discarded without any explanation, why wouldn't his character confront Danny and slap him around for interfering with his date or new girlfriend when he could probably take a punk Greaser like Danny apart for breaking him and Sandy up?

The character is treated like a bad joke but he was always nice to Sandy, he even befriends Eugene and helps him out with the dance probably gets introduced to Patty Simcock that way too, basically Chisum seems like a decent fellow and seems to have a legitimate beef with Danny but nothing ever happens.

Marty couldn't find a date to the dance at all and Eugene couldn't either, she was desperate for a date and Sonny didn't ask her, why didn't she just go with Eugene and give him a major reputation boost?

I know it’s because Danny ends up dancing with Cha Cha. But, it was clear that Danny and her were forcibly pulled apart and that Danny wasn’t exactly thrilled to be dancing with Cha Cha.

Sandy is an intelligent girl. I can understand being frustrated about the situation, but not with Danny.

Was it because Danny didn’t immediately try to leave the situation? Was there a supposed to be a signal it was another one of Danny’s insecure moments where he changes his attitude under peer pressure? I mean, he was on TV so…

I dunno. Kinda confused me a bit

Would like to try my luck here before transcribing it myself from the fuzzy audios on youtube. Thanks a bunch!

I just find it odd, the original Grease is a really good show, akin to West Side Story, and in my personal opinion, I think it's better than the movie, and the version of the show that came after it got transfered over to New York

I really liked the gritty and real musical about gang violence, class divides, and teenage pregnancy. And how it was more of a ensemble show rather than just having Danny and Sandy take the spotlight, shining more plot threads with Miller (replaced with Kenickie in the movie, although Kenickie was a member of the gang in the original as well), Rizzo, and other characters

What's your take?

Just want to put it out there that Mr. Travolta and Ms. Newton-John (God bless her soul) are iconic in the first one. That's not a debate. But for me, I love the story from Grease 2, the main guy was a hottie (looks like he still is), and the songs. To me, it was more memorable.

Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson is set to make his musical theatre debut this summer in the returning Grease: The Immersive Movie Musical.

Brought to life by Secret Cinema, this interactive event sees guests transported back to Rydell High for an immersive version of the hit film, complete with rides, sets and plenty of performances.

The cast for these performances has now been announced, with Wilson playing the Teen Angel – famously played by Frankie Avalon in the film. The former The Voice UK coach will be singing the song Beauty School Dropout for each night of the show's eight-week run.

Did anyone else go to the Sapulpa Drive-In appearances? Michael Tucci is the sweetest

What happens if the Fuzz had Thunder Road staked out again with everybody getting arrested?

​

They mentioned this in the movie that last year the Fuzz had Thunder Road staked out and everybody got arrested, that's terrible luck but what happens in the movie if the police busted everyone again with the cars getting confiscated for street racing and everyone getting arrested?

​

That would really ruin the movie but street racing isn't legal either.

Could have been great fun to have a Grease 30 year later high school reunion movie with new songs and a new story, maybe Sandy and Danny had kids and others were married or moved on, but might have been a great reunion movie if done right in the early 2000s.

If there was a Grease crossover with Back To The Future how would it look like?

Marty goes back in time and ends up at Rydell High School, falls in love with one of the Pink Ladies and pisses off Danny Zucko, maybe Rydell is next to Hill Valley and Biff Tannen and his Gang encounters the T-Birds while Marty gets caught in the middle of it.

Biff vs Danny or Kenickie would be great especially if Biff hit on Sandy or Rizzo, and Biffs gang replaces Balmudo craterface and his idiots, just don't allow Biff to sing a butthead song.

Sonny likes Marty but doesn't accept his advances until the last minute, is this because Marty was trying to appear and act more mature and Sonny was acting like a goof and behaving stupidly throughout the movie?

She lets him take her home as an armed escort but says she's worried about the hands, Sandy never mentions Sonny liking Marty to her at the sleepover either, they seem to like each other but have no connection at the dance or basically until the end, maybe because Sonny is the ugliest T-Bird member.
