Trivia:
Danny's blue windbreaker at the beginning of the film was intended as a nod to Rebel Without a Cause (1955) moreGoofs:
Continuity: In the dance-off, just before Cha-Cha replaces Sandy as Danny's dancing partner, there is a wide shot of Danny and Sandy dancing. In the corner you can see Cha-Cha walk out from behind some students. The camera then makes a close-up and she repeats the same movement. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Sandy: I'm going back to Australia; I might never see you again.
Danny: Don't... don't talk that way, Sandy.
Sandy: But it's true! I've just had the best summer of my life, and now I have to go away. It isn't fair.
[Danny starts kissing her]
Sandy: Danny, don't spoil it!
Danny: It's not spoiling it, Sandy, it's only making it better.
Sandy: Danny... is this the end?
Danny: Of course not; it's only the beginning.

How do I start? I love this film! It has a great plot line and incredible music. It is a fun musical that makes you want to get up and dance.
Grease is the story of Danny Zucko and Sandy Olsen (or Dumbruski) two high school seniors who fall in love over the summer. They have a wonderful summer together and are sad to see it end. The first day of school arrives and little does Danny know him and Sandy would soon be reunited. But Sandy is shocked to find the nice guy she meet at the beach is the leader of a greaser gang called 'The T'birds' Meanwhile Sandy is trying to fit in with her new "friends" the T'birds female counterparts The Pink Ladies. Will Sandy and Danny ever be together again? Along with this plot comes song that will be stuck in your head for centuries. Such songs include Summer Nights, Beauty School Dropout and the now famous song Greased Lightining. Grease is a timeless classic that will have you singing and dancing by the end of the movie.
