Trivia:

Director Pat Birch said the movie was originally going to be titled "Son of Grease", but producers wanted something more straightforward and less confusing, so it was switched to "Grease 2". Maxwell Caulfield (Michael Carrington) tried hard to get it changed back, saying that "Grease 2" was a boring title. His attempts were unsuccessful.

Goofs:

Continuity: As Michael prepares to jump on his bike at the luau, he is not wearing a helmet. But when he jumps over the pool, and lands, he is.

Quotes:

Delores Rebchuck: [after the T-Birds and Pink Ladies left them at the bowling alley] Life stinks.
Michael Carrington: Are you talking to me?
Delores Rebchuck: Yeah, you'll do.

Great film!

This film to me is not that bad, most the people who have seen it compare it to the original. What I reckon is that if this was just a film and not a sequel to Grease it would probably be appreciated more.

In my opinion I like Grease 2 better, I actually found Grease to be quite boring, but hey that's just me. In Grease 2 I like the songs better and the guys are much more better looking than the first one.

Overall this movie for me is quite entertaining and I like it, and I certainly do not compare it to the first one as it is a whole new different movie and storyline.

So if you haven't seen Grease 2 before because people say it's crap and that it's a waste of time, at least give it a chance and watch it, it might surprise you.
