I wonder if Adisa meant "Blue Moon" by Sha Na Na?

I hate 'Grease 2'.That movie was horrible Sometimes,when a movie is really spectacualr,a sequel isn't needed.This was certainly the case with 'Grease'.

I REFUSE to watch Grease 2. I love Michelle Pfeiffer, but not trying to entertain that mess.

Nah, I meant that frikking "Hound Dog". When that part in Grease came on again today and I thought about my screw up on this thread.

Anyway, I know a lot of people didn't like Grease 2 because it wasn't as edgy and raunchy as the first one. Isn't there supposed to be a new remake of Grease coming out of Hollywood? I hope not but it wouldn't surprise me.

Earlier this decade,there was talk about a remake of 'Grease' starring Britney Spears and N'Sync I'm glad that they didn't follow through with that.Presumably,Justin Timberlake would have played the Danny Zuko role.

There was also talk about a new 'Grease' movie that would bring back the original cast as they attend their high school reunion.Olivia Newton-John confirmed this rumor,saying that she would only do it if John Travolta participated too.

I could barely get through that film The songs are dumb and it's not nearly as charming as the first film.

SoulAlive said:

The reunion idea was cool in theory, but what year would it have been? 70s? 80s?

No doubt Grease 2 was corny, but tha's why I love it. The bowling alley scene, "Cool Rider" "Girl for All Seasons"-- like UTCM its so bad its good.

I used to see that movie quite often for some reason.

SoulAlive said:

I get it but they are overlooking the part where he's like "Sandy??? "

Adisa said:

From what I heard,the high school reunion sequel would take place in 1979...20 years later.We would get to see what happened with Danny and Sandy (Did they marry? Have children? Stayed together thru college,then broke up and married other people?).Like you say,it sounds interesting in theory but I just wonder how they could build an entire 2-hour movie around this idea Would the entire film take place at the reunion?

Adisa said:

The one song that I like from Grease 2 is the final song,I forgot the name of it,but it's something about "turning back the hands of time".That part was nice.It's a shame that they wait until the end of the movie to do a great song,lol.

SoulAlive said:

I liked how they gave it a twist and had the lead male (dang I forgot his name ) playing the undercover bad ass biker against his natural good boy self. Like, he was almost a superhero for Stephanie.

Hey she didn't just become a whore, he became a track runner in a dorky letterman's sweater!

Of course the second he sees her he tosses the sweater.

I'm sure she got rid of her top too

Cinnie said:

not in the version I saw!

SoulAlive said:

it's not that so much as it's the message that to get a man to fall in love you have to completely change who you are to fit his likes.

but it is a very dumb movie, not a lesson in life.

But Danny already loved Sandy, that's why he took up running track. They both did these things for each other, but it wasn't really necessary. It's just that when they saw that the other had taken the steps for them, they knew that the other was committed.

NDRU said:

i edited to add but it is just a dumb movie...



anyone taking life lessons from grease has bigger issues.

cborgman said:

good point! Rarely do I break out in a song & dance routine before fixing my car.

NDRU said:

that i actually do.

did you check out the mashup i posted?

I remember when that song first came out, it got TONS of airplay. It seemed like every time a radio was turned on, that song was playing.

psychodelicide said:

You couldn't escape it,that song was everywhere.It also seemed that several singles were released at the same time.In the late spring of 1978 (several weeks before the movie came out),I was hearing "You're The One That I Want","Summer Nights" and the title track on the radio.

SoulAlive said:

There definitely was no escaping "You're the One That I Want", because you're right, the song WAS everywhere. "Summer Nights" was also a good song. LOL - I remember trying to sing like John Travolta on his part of the song, and my cousin laughing at me.

psychodelicide said:

I remember "Hopelessly Devoted to You" being everywhere at that time also.

Adisa said:

Oh yes, I totally forgot about that song, but you're right.

Never seen the movie,,,,,and I'm in no rush.
