I knew it was raunchy but a bunch of stuff went over my head. I see its flaws for sure but still have fond memories of it. And it is actually less raunchy than the original broadway show.
Yeah, recently heard Grease Lightening and was flabbergasted 😂 And the scene when Sandy slams the car door and Danny had a look of pain in his face. I remember thinking he was nowhere near the door lol

I'm 30 now. I saw this first when I was 7. Didn't understand half the scenes and thought Rizzo skipped a class period 😆 I don't care, I still love this movie today.
It took me a long time to get the broken typewriter reference, but that's because in the UK we don't call it a period, we call it a full stop. Don't think we ever used the term in school either, they were just lessons or classes.
"Eating an Ice Cream cone in the room where people sh**" "Drinking a product placement Pepsi in the room where people sh**" both had me on the floor laughing
I was wondering how many sins the "did she put up a fight" line would add, hoping for a hundred, but the 570 was a brilliant idea! Great job cinemasins!
Agreed, one for how many people are sexually assaulted daily in the United States. That line is so Cringy, and kudos to Jeremy for calling them out on it!
1:28 "There is no universe where Danny's reflection is this large in this mirror without us seeing him in the foreground of this shot." I think you severely underestimate just how massive John Travolta's head is.
Danny’s and Sandy’s relationship is toxic 101. I mean Danny insults her in front of his friends and she still goes back to him every freaking time. Then at the end she changes herself so that he and his friends could like her. She should have stayed with the other guy. At least he likes Sandy for who she is.
People also forget thar Rizzo still loves Danny and spends the whole movie bullying Sandy out of spite. FTS (forget this show, it isn't worh your nostalgia).
Don’t forget when he tried to assault her at the car movie drive in she had to run away from him but it was resolved in the next scene as if it was normal
@@nicoleajobo3415 oh yeah I remember that now. It has been a long time since I’ve seen the movie. Truthfully Sandy is a terrible role model for young girls
I only discovered this recently but I read that the stage play the movie is based on was intended to be a spoof, hence the 30 year old actors playing teenagers, overly sexualised songs and Sandy just suddenly changing everything about herself for a terrible guy - might explain a lot of the sins 😂
He wasn't a terrible guy at all. He was a teenage boy. Why point out how she changed for him, while ignoring the fact he tried out for every sports team for her, and wore a "nerdy" letterman sweater He got for running track in front of his friends? The movie makes clear his greaser character is a put on.
I remember my music teacher in 5th grade showed us this movie once. As a kid, a lot of it went over my head, but as an adult I'm lime "damn, maybe we were a little young to be watching Grease." lmao
I agree it wasn't the best choice for a 5th grade music teacher; even the music isn't all that good. Why not something with a great score and songs, like West Side Story, or Oliver? Or even Sound of Music? There's an actual introductory music lesson right in that one!😆
My daughter’s gifted class performed “Time Warp” from Rocky Horror Picture Show. I found myself wondering if I was the only parent familiar with the source material 🤣
This was the first movie I ever saw in the theater…on a field trip with my preschool. Then my parents bought me the soundtrack (which I still have). The 70’s were an interesting time.
Preschool? Good lord. I guess the 70s were an interesting time, still a lot more innocent, in some ways. The first movie in a theatre I ever saw (I think at about age 4) was either Lady and the Tramp or Bambi. I think I must have slept through the scene when his mother is killed, because I have no memory of it. When I saw it again a few years later, what frightened me most was the forest fire. Before I saw Oliver! at age about 9, my parents warned me about the scene in which Bill kills Nancy, so when it happened it didn't come as a shock. When I saw Sound of Music at about the same age, I had no idea what was going on with the Nazis chasing the family. There was dark stuff in all the films we saw, but it was rarely explicit enough to leave a mark on us.
Funny thing about this movie. Saw it on tv when I was 7. Loved it. So we taped it the next time it was on, and I’d watch that tape when I wanted to watch Grease. I could quote it beginning to end. One of my absolute favorites my entire childhood, teens and early 20’s. Then they put it back in theaters for an anniversary, so I went to see it in the theater…the non edited-for-tv version. For the first time. Holy shit.
The sin about Kenikie not singing the song is actually John Travolta's fault. In the original play he did sing Greased Lightning but Travolta liked the song so much he used his "Star Power" to make them let Danny sing it instead.
He should feel awful about that. Stockard Channing got a solo and Kenikie should have had one too. That was selfish on Travolta's part, thinking he could just take something because he could get away with it. I like him less and less the more I know about the guy. A complete jerk.
When I saw this movie as a kid, I completely missed how hot Frenchy was. Today she would be my first choice out of all the "chicks" in this movie. She's gorgeous, adventurous, and sweet all at the same time. Plus that pink hair only made her hotter. Also you missed a sin when he was trying out for sports. He didn't try out for football but football season was obviously underway at the time. He also tried out for basketball and wrestling...winter sports...on the same day he tried out for track and baseball....spring sports. All during football season...a fall sport! It would be impossible for him to try out for all these sports on the same day or even week.
It's amazing how much nostalgia glosses over all the problematic bits. This is def a movie I've loved since childhood, but if I saw it the first time today I'd be all manner of "what the fuck???"
Judging earlier periods in time by current standards is the problem. The sexism was obvious in the 1970s too, but we didn't pass judgement on the movie because it was about a different time. Thinking it's okay to discard everything that doesn't conform to what some consider to be "PC" is intolerant and foolish.
@@pattierotondo1108 Thank you very much for this! I'm from Germany, and it's really awful how we are being stereotyped and judged for stuff that, okay, isn't "PC" _now_ but was perfectly legal back in the late 30ies and 40ies. So intolerant and foolish! Thank for for finally pointing this out.
I would've taken off a sin for the amazing Alice Ghostley. A legend of comedy and acting in TV , Stage and Screen. She went onto star as Bernice in Designing Women as a truly iconic TV character. I know this cast if filled with insane talent but Alice was a true treasure. One sin off!
Watching this made me realize that I remembered literally nothing about this movie, and yet if you turn on at least two of the songs I would be able to sing along word for word.
7:20 Funny story, Travolta actually bullied Conway out of this song because he wanted more songs. In the play Greased Lightning *is* Kenicke’s big number.
Could be true, but I'm still not giving him points for changing into a misogynist cruel jerk for ... for what exactly? Was there any part in the movie were Sandy goes "I really liked this guy, the problem is he's not enough of an utter a--hole?"
@@Julia-lk8jn Remember, the movie takes place in the 1950s. Misogyny was expected by and from pretty much everyone, especially the middle class. And viewing it from that point of view, Danny was a saint. No man in those days would try to change who they were for a woman.
Gods, *yes* . (All the worse because, yes, they didn't even bother hiring a Hollywood-chubby actress, or padding her - just stick her into something formless.) Of course, if the non-revolting characters in this movie had been allowed to use deadly force on bullying and misogynist BS, the film would probably have been down to half the cast before 3rd act ever started.
@7:21, Kinicke does sing the song Greased Lighting in the original play, but John Travolta stole it for Danny Zuko in the movie. Yes it makes no sense for him to sing it, but he's the star so he gets what he wants.
I had a lot of questions for my mom after she had me watch this movie for the first time when I was about nine. I mean, it was PG, but I think even she was surprised by the amount of innuendo and straight up explicit jokes (?) and lyrics. To be fair, the PG-13 rating didn't exist yet and I guess they didn't think it met the criteria for an R.
Yeah, "You're the one that I want" was an amazing showstopper, and Travolta and Newton-John nailed it. "Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm sure down deep inside."
THANK you for including the sin about greased lightning! Apparently Jeff Conaway WAS supposed to sing it but John Travolta yoinked it using his star power cuz he wanted to sing it.
In the Broadway musical (which this is based off of), Grease Lightening is sung by Kenickie. John Travolta asked Jeff Conaway if he could sing it. Jeff agreed and that’s why John sings it
@@pattierotondo1108yeah, yeah I know…Everyone has read the “18 things you didn’t know about Grease” article quoting what John Travolta says 🙄 I’m pointing out if you’re going to sin it… include that part of it since it’s common knowledge why it’s sung by Travolta. Should I wait for a response in another year?
13:45 smoking in bathrooms DEFINITELY continued in to the late 1980s. I couldnt use the restroom in high school because of this so I ahd to hold it till I got home. The students were mad I even entered the restroom acting like I was a narc. heck the teacher knew they were in there and did nothing., Because they were NOT permitted to throw them out. Because "the law" said you must be in school but didnt include "in classroom"
Am kind of glad in retrospect that my parents made me go to a small, very strict, all-girls Catholic high school. Lots of students smoked of course, but anyone smoked in the bathroom there, there would have been hell to pay.
My favourite part was always at 17:20 when ONJ tries to put her hand on the side of the turning tunnel and removes it when she realizes it's actually CUTTING EDGE METAL.
i watched this movie WAY too much as a kid than an elementary schooler should have simply because it’s my mom’s favorite movie😂 and like over half of those jokes/lines went right over my head lol
The original stage show (before the movie ever existed) was a love letter to Chicago and the high school Jim Jacobs went to. It was also WAY raunchier, like R rated: There were multiple F-Bombs, Kenickie makes a joke about Rizzo sitting on his face, the opening number is the “VD” song they sing in the car outside of the slumber party, and at the end Patty calls Sandy a “flousie” and she punches Patty in the face giving her a black eye. The original is a much better show, and almost an honest and proud indictment of how highschool life was at the time. The movie and subsequent revivals based off miss the mark, hard. I have a fondness for the movie only cause I did the show (heavily censored) in highschool. You really have to turn your brain off to enjoy it
The funniest thing is to go watch a middle school aged production of the musical. The censorship and alternate lines are on "finding a stranger in the alps" level.
I saw this for the second time at a Church youth group meeting. Honestly, atheist that I was, I was nearly peeing myself with laughter as the church leaders were too horrified to turn off the movie. We got a talk afterwards and an apology. Good times!
7:20 Kenickie was supposed to sing it, which he does in the original play, but Travolta wanted the song in the movie and he got it because he was a bigger draw than Conaway. Travolta literally said "I wanted [it] and because I had clout, I could get [it]".
7:54 In many cuts of this movie, the poster in the background is a Coca-Cola ad that was blurred out in the movie but the version of the movie you are sinning looks like a Pepsi ad was digitally inserted for the Coke ad. I thought there would have been a sin for an obvious blur being obvious.
I watched this quite recently because my mom and I both had the flu at the same time. It's great for "brains off, shallow fun", which is really all we had the brainpower for lol.
Realizing this movie was rated PG and now an 18 year old realizing that there’s many adult jokes/sayings whatever you want to call them but I noticed them more in grease 2 😂
Well it isn't like it was dirty enough to get an R rating. You had G, PG, R, and X. It wasn't until later that PG-13 was added and X was replaced by NC-17.
Even as a 12 year old I remember watching this with my dad and brothers and being like “wait this is messed up” and they were like “shut up woman,it’s classic haha” and that really does sum up the whole movie😭
Two missed sins: Before the Beauty School Dropout song, the waitress tries to turn the lights off with her elbow, completely misses the switch (by an embarrassingly large distance), but the lights still turn off. And during We Go Together, when all of the "kids" are on the grass part of the fairgrounds, Frenchie and a few others hit their knees, then the camera angle switches and Frenchie and the guy next to her have switched places.
When I was about 7 years old, we learned the songs to perform in front of the school for assembly. The teachers showed the songs played in the movie but skipped over everything else. I can't believe inappropriate this would have been at the time but it was the 90s. We had a cardboard cutout of cars taped to the giant ruler for the blackboard and performed "Greased Lightning".
@@rahbeeuh The original. The one with The Rock in my opinion is an entirely different movie with little to no relation, not that I don’t think it has its own unique charms from a certain perspective but it’s comparatively more of a cheap cash grab using the name of the original. Edit: I called it Race To Witch Mountain in my comment. Bit of Mandela Effect I suppose. So, to clarify the ones I like are the 75 version and the Disney 1995 version which as I can see now are Escape to Witch Mountain and Return To Witch Mountain respectively according to the old faded jacket art I have here
Side note. As a kid I had this VHS movie where a team go into space and and end up landing on a dinosaur planet. All the dinosaurs are claymation and I think someone gets impaled by a triceratops. Anyone know the name of that movie?
Far more disturbing than the "flog your log" line being in the movie was the fact that my ten year old sister back then actually knowing what that meant since she told me, "don't ever say that" the first time we saw it.
The song you call "Alone at a Drive-In" is actually called "Sandy." The first line is "Stranded at the drive-in, branded as a fool." There is a song from "Grease" called "Alone at a Drive-In Movie," but it's an instrumental. Thank you for not destroying Olivia Newton-John. She wasn't a great actress, but she was an amazing person.
Crazy story about ONJ...Shortly after Grease came out, the tiny town of Olivia, MN, wrote her a letter inviting her to be the grand marshall of their annual local parade...and she actually showed up and rode a horse in the parade! Can you imagine a celebrity of her caliber doing that today?
Same. Especially since it was hugely influential, and going by the comment section, still has its fans. I've seen it in other movies and shows, but this one really seems to go out of the way to depict SH as something that's just normal, and the normal reaction is just to ignore it - no protest, no shock, and sure as heck no complaint. Now think of how many young boys / teenagers watched this, and that most of them are still around ...
When did Sandy tryouts for cheerleading become a cheerleader after her first day at school,then it was night at big football game,makes no sense too. But it’s still a great movie that hold up beautifully too.
The "did she put up a fight" line is NOT about sexual assault. sheesh. 🙄 It's just a jab at Danny. It's like saying "you're so ugly, you probably had to to force her because no girl would be with you willingly". He's not saying Danny is actually in the habit of assaulting girls. It's like when someone makes you angry and you say "I'm going to kill them!". Nobody actually thinks you literally are going to pick up a knife and stab them, right? You all get 23098340 sins for taking things too fucking literally.
In high school I was Rizzo in grease the musical. The song IS sung by Kenickie not Danny in the stage musical. Also 'hopelessly devoted to you' was written for the movie as well as 'You're the that I want'. There was no song where hopelessly devoted is in the movie and a different song called 'All choked up' for the finale song. The school has to pay for the rights to do the musical and use all of the songs and to be able to tape and distribute the show, so the school could have been fined if caught using those songs since their rights are not attached to the stage musical. At least that is what our directors told us when we read through the script the first time and found that the most well known songs were missing. Edit: also multiple songs from the musical are not in the movie 'Freddy my Love' and 'Mooning' to name a couple. These focus on other characters relationships instead of Danny and Sandy so that's why I think they got cut from the movie.
The director explicitly stated the movie was sexual. If you look you will see innuendos everywhere. Sandy was told by most of the characters that’s she is too snobbish/ prudish, etc. what she did in the end was meant as a grand gesture. Danny is wearing athletic sweater ( not jacket). Sweater is more “nerdy.” Interning how people think his transformation is less extreme. He became something he is not. It was meant to be mutual.
Wooooow a sweater, she changed way more than he did. And neither should have changed for the either, compromise on certain situations is one thing, but basically changing your personality is another. Someone changing because there decisions to be a giant dick to them by saying you like them and then hiding that person from his friends because they're ashamed to be seen with them, is wow.
@@bethanychatman9531 She didn't change at all really, she essentially played dress-up; for Danny, we see him actually making an effort throughout the movie.
@@bethanychatman9531 Danny’s change took the course of the entire movie stumbling the entire way. All that we see in Sandy is a grand gesture at the very end of the movie. How you can surmise that her change is greater with virtually no info other than her clothing is beyond me? I’m f you listen to the lyrics of the song you’ll get a hint of what she expects a man not a boy. She is not conveying I’m going to be a slut. It’s time for you grow up and be my man. The change Sandy was that she is no longer go to be the shy girl but a woman with demands that must be met. The sweater is a metaphor. Her outfit is a metaphor. The change was in their attitude and the song reveals that change.
@@bethanychatman9531 Welcome to the world of love, "teens", peer pressure and *actual growth* for characters. Danny learned to not take peer pressure serious and to actually go after what he wants. Sandy learned that you don't have to follow society's roles and also go for what you want. The changes in dress at the end was to materialize the clear change they've both gone through.
Except that the second he sees "transformed" Sandy, Danny tears the sweater off and throws it away, going right back to the persona he's had through the whole movie. He didn't change. She did.
@@jayewherner7435 Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. “Woke” may have taken an extreme turn, but there are some things that very much need to be pointed out as not okay, and sexual assault is one of them.
The dress getting pulled into the air at the dance was the highest form of SA in the movie. The line in the song is taken out of context. People are looking for rain clouds and the sun is out In hindsight with SJW glasses on the movie had its share of problems, but it’s nowhere close to the ideals/politics getting pushed on people now in movies/digital streaming platforms/social media etc
@@jayewherner7435 the entire time, Danny is dismissing the blonde chick and the amount of references/jokes to "forcing" themselves onto women is disgusting. It's not woke culture, the movie, in my opinion promotes objectifcation of women. It shows women should change for men, and they have to do nothing back. The arguments are valid
This movie is fantastic, one of my favorites of all time. I am getting upset that you dislike it so much or you’re just pretending for the channel, I can never tell.
Word. Perfectly appropriate, given that the entire d--- movie treats SA as a normal ingredient of life - no shock, protest or for that matter, any reaction at all needed. Some guy openly looks up your skirt? Boys will be boys, no reason to do something as unladylike as protesting. Plus: couple of dozen comments defending this 💩neatly disproves the "but it's just entertainment!" excuse.
My main sin for Grease is that I grew up in Germany and this movie had me fully convinced that American high school graduations came standard with carnivals
How do you think I felt being an American and I didn't get a carnival at graduation?
sadly not

RIP Olivia Newton-John (1948-2022) and Jeff Conaway (1950-2011)
And cha cha. And crater face. And the chick with the glasses (don’t feel like looking it up)
I remember doing Grease Lightning with my class in AN ELEMENTARY CATHOLIC SCHOOL. The lyrics TOTALLY went over my head 😂
Me too! All the girls in my Catholic kindergarten class sang together in the talent show wearing matching poodle skirts
I was wondering how many sins the "did she put up a fight" line would add, hoping for a hundred, but the 570 was a brilliant idea! Great job cinemasins!
Agreed, one for how many people are sexually assaulted daily in the United States. That line is so Cringy, and kudos to Jeremy for calling them out on it!
@@trinaq Prude.
John Travolta has much bigger bank balance though 20/70
Agreed. This entire film is so cringeworthy as to warrant a hall of shame induction.
Yes because there's no such thing as context or multiple meanings for a phrase or anything. 🙄😒
1:28 "There is no universe where Danny's reflection is this large in this mirror without us seeing him in the foreground of this shot."
I think you severely underestimate just how massive John Travolta's head is.
@@hereisthefullvid8934 GTFO with your spam, jerkwad!

Danny’s and Sandy’s relationship is toxic 101. I mean Danny insults her in front of his friends and she still goes back to him every freaking time. Then at the end she changes herself so that he and his friends could like her.
She should have stayed with the other guy. At least he likes Sandy for who she is.
But Danny DID change for her hence becoming an athlete and wearing a letterman's sweater at the end.
People also forget thar Rizzo still loves Danny and spends the whole movie bullying Sandy out of spite. FTS (forget this show, it isn't worh your nostalgia).
Don’t forget when he tried to assault her at the car movie drive in she had to run away from him but it was resolved in the next scene as if it was normal
@@nicoleajobo3415 oh yeah I remember that now. It has been a long time since I’ve seen the movie. Truthfully Sandy is a terrible role model for young girls
@@shakespeareanstudent rizzo was probably my least favourite character, she's just a Bully
I only discovered this recently but I read that the stage play the movie is based on was intended to be a spoof, hence the 30 year old actors playing teenagers, overly sexualised songs and Sandy just suddenly changing everything about herself for a terrible guy - might explain a lot of the sins 😂
That makes a lot of sense
That makes more sense.
I need to watch it again, asap, with that line of thinking. Genius!
It obviously wasn't supposed to be gritty reality. Even West Side Story was more realistic.
He wasn't a terrible guy at all. He was a teenage boy. Why point out how she changed for him, while ignoring the fact he tried out for every sports team for her, and wore a "nerdy" letterman sweater He got for running track in front of his friends? The movie makes clear his greaser character is a put on.
Rest in Peace Olivia Newton John 😭
❤️❤️
And Jeff Conoway
Eve Arden, Sid Ceasar, Dodie Goodwin and Cha Cha 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I remember my music teacher in 5th grade showed us this movie once. As a kid, a lot of it went over my head, but as an adult I'm lime "damn, maybe we were a little young to be watching Grease." lmao
I agree it wasn't the best choice for a 5th grade music teacher; even the music isn't all that good. Why not something with a great score and songs, like West Side Story, or Oliver? Or even Sound of Music? There's an actual introductory music lesson right in that one!😆
My daughter’s gifted class performed “Time Warp” from Rocky Horror Picture Show. I found myself wondering if I was the only parent familiar with the source material 🤣
This was the first movie I ever saw in the theater…on a field trip with my preschool. Then my parents bought me the soundtrack (which I still have). The 70’s were an interesting time.
Preschool? Good lord. I guess the 70s were an interesting time, still a lot more innocent, in some ways. The first movie in a theatre I ever saw (I think at about age 4) was either Lady and the Tramp or Bambi. I think I must have slept through the scene when his mother is killed, because I have no memory of it. When I saw it again a few years later, what frightened me most was the forest fire. Before I saw Oliver! at age about 9, my parents warned me about the scene in which Bill kills Nancy, so when it happened it didn't come as a shock. When I saw Sound of Music at about the same age, I had no idea what was going on with the Nazis chasing the family. There was dark stuff in all the films we saw, but it was rarely explicit enough to leave a mark on us.
Funny thing about this movie. Saw it on tv when I was 7. Loved it. So we taped it the next time it was on, and I’d watch that tape when I wanted to watch Grease. I could quote it beginning to end. One of my absolute favorites my entire childhood, teens and early 20’s. Then they put it back in theaters for an anniversary, so I went to see it in the theater…the non edited-for-tv version. For the first time. Holy shit.
The "amoebas on fleas" dialogue had me in stitches! 😂
Could you sin Hairspray?
Oh I need to see that
At the end, I literally thought, "They need to do "Hairspray" next"
Yes! Both versions!
Please do Hairspray! That movie is to race relations what Pochahontas is for historical accuracy. And also race relationsz
The 2007 version
The sin about Kenikie not singing the song is actually John Travolta's fault. In the original play he did sing Greased Lightning but Travolta liked the song so much he used his "Star Power" to make them let Danny sing it instead.
He should feel awful about that. Stockard Channing got a solo and Kenikie should have had one too.
That was selfish on Travolta's part, thinking he could just take something because he could get away with it.
I like him less and less the more I know about the guy.
A complete jerk.
When I saw this movie as a kid, I completely missed how hot Frenchy was. Today she would be my first choice out of all the "chicks" in this movie. She's gorgeous, adventurous, and sweet all at the same time. Plus that pink hair only made her hotter.
Also you missed a sin when he was trying out for sports. He didn't try out for football but football season was obviously underway at the time. He also tried out for basketball and wrestling...winter sports...on the same day he tried out for track and baseball....spring sports. All during football season...a fall sport! It would be impossible for him to try out for all these sports on the same day or even week.
I have so much nostalgia for this film after being in a production of Grease as a kid. RIP Olivia Newton John ❤
She was beautiful gone too soon 😔😔😭😭🥺🤧🤧
Nooooo, I didn't know she died! :(
I can't believe you didn't take off a sin for the all time great line "If you can't be an athlete, BE AN ATHLETIC SUPPORTER!"
The Principal played a High School teacher in the 1950s sitcom, Our Miss Brooks. It was also a radio programme.
And then the look on her face when she realized what she said. 😂
It's amazing how much nostalgia glosses over all the problematic bits. This is def a movie I've loved since childhood, but if I saw it the first time today I'd be all manner of "what the fuck???"
Judging earlier periods in time by current standards is the problem.
The sexism was obvious in the 1970s too, but we didn't pass judgement on the movie because it was about a different time.
Thinking it's okay to discard everything that doesn't conform to what some consider to be "PC" is intolerant and foolish.
@@pattierotondo1108 Thank you very much for this!
I'm from Germany, and it's really awful how we are being stereotyped and judged for stuff that, okay, isn't "PC" _now_ but was perfectly legal back in the late 30ies and 40ies.
So intolerant and foolish!
Thank for for finally pointing this out.
I would've taken off a sin for the amazing Alice Ghostley. A legend of comedy and acting in TV , Stage and Screen. She went onto star as Bernice in Designing Women as a truly iconic TV character. I know this cast if filled with insane talent but Alice was a true treasure. One sin off!
Before that she was Esmeralda on Bewitched.
And she looked exactly the same in every decade. Maybe she WAS a witch.
And so did Frankie Avalon
Rest in peace Olivia Newton-John you will be miss ❤
Watching this made me realize that I remembered literally nothing about this movie, and yet if you turn on at least two of the songs I would be able to sing along word for word.
7:20
Funny story, Travolta actually bullied Conway out of this song because he wanted more songs. In the play Greased Lightning *is* Kenicke’s big number.
I don't think it's funny.
It was mean and selfish of Travolta to do that, just because he could get away with it.
Actually, Danny changed into a jock for Sandy first and he kept that going all year whereas she only got a makeover for the last day of school.
Could be true, but I'm still not giving him points for changing into a misogynist cruel jerk for ... for what exactly? Was there any part in the movie were Sandy goes "I really liked this guy, the problem is he's not enough of an utter a--hole?"
@@Julia-lk8jn Remember, the movie takes place in the 1950s. Misogyny was expected by and from pretty much everyone, especially the middle class. And viewing it from that point of view, Danny was a saint. No man in those days would try to change who they were for a woman.
Out of all the explosions, crashes, planes pulling up at least second, 8:37 is the funniest "Character survives this" sin I've seen on this channel.
Gods, *yes* .
(All the worse because, yes, they didn't even bother hiring a Hollywood-chubby actress, or padding her - just stick her into something formless.)
Of course, if the non-revolting characters in this movie had been allowed to use deadly force on bullying and misogynist BS, the film would probably have been down to half the cast before 3rd act ever started.
Watching movies i watched as a kid as an adult is so traumatizing... We were so innocent in our beliefs 😀... Still love this movie 🍿
There is truly a lot that goes over your head as a kid but is blazingly apparent as an adult!
@7:21, Kinicke does sing the song Greased Lighting in the original play, but John Travolta stole it for Danny Zuko in the movie. Yes it makes no sense for him to sing it, but he's the star so he gets what he wants.
I had a lot of questions for my mom after she had me watch this movie for the first time when I was about nine. I mean, it was PG, but I think even she was surprised by the amount of innuendo and straight up explicit jokes (?) and lyrics. To be fair, the PG-13 rating didn't exist yet and I guess they didn't think it met the criteria for an R.
Yeah, "You're the one that I want" was an amazing showstopper, and Travolta and Newton-John nailed it.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure down deep inside."
THANK you for including the sin about greased lightning! Apparently Jeff Conaway WAS supposed to sing it but John Travolta yoinked it using his star power cuz he wanted to sing it.
If you're gonna sin 70s/80s movies that talk about the 50s, I'm ALL ON IT for American Graffiti being the next one
He better not sin that sweet 32. That's the only Ford I'd drive
_American Graffiti_ is actually about the 60s. *Ding!*
and Porky's
My teacher in the 3rd grade used to play this album for us nearly every week. The 80s were a very very different time.
In the Broadway musical (which this is based off of), Grease Lightening is sung by Kenickie. John Travolta asked Jeff Conaway if he could sing it. Jeff agreed and that’s why John sings it
He didn't "ask" for the song - he demanded it from the producers and had the clout to get away with it.
@@pattierotondo1108yeah, yeah I know…Everyone has read the “18 things you didn’t know about Grease” article quoting what John Travolta says 🙄
I’m pointing out if you’re going to sin it… include that part of it since it’s common knowledge why it’s sung by Travolta.
Should I wait for a response in another year?
13:45 smoking in bathrooms DEFINITELY continued in to the late 1980s. I couldnt use the restroom in high school because of this so I ahd to hold it till I got home. The students were mad I even entered the restroom acting like I was a narc. heck the teacher knew they were in there and did nothing., Because they were NOT permitted to throw them out. Because "the law" said you must be in school but didnt include "in classroom"
Am kind of glad in retrospect that my parents made me go to a small, very strict, all-girls Catholic high school. Lots of students smoked of course, but anyone smoked in the bathroom there, there would have been hell to pay.
My favourite part was always at 17:20 when ONJ tries to put her hand on the side of the turning tunnel and removes it when she realizes it's actually CUTTING EDGE METAL.
"Look a meteorite" caught me way off guard 🤣
That Pepsi commercial joke was amazing.
Almost salvaged the video, almost
You guys had better do Grease 2 as well. That one was my favourite as a kid
The million of cringe sex advances in Grease 2 has a chance for the movie to break 755 sins.
I like Grease 2 better. Don't know why, maybe it's Maxwell, maybe it's Michelle....oh who am I kidding IT'S ADRIAN ZMED!!
Having to watch this so many times on VHS against my will as a kid... I hope he sins the hell out of this!!!!
Why against ur will?
@@sameenakhandr How is that hard to understand?
Same thing happened to me. My older sister loved this movie.
“Theyre just running for the joy of their next cigarette”
Took me tf out 😂
i watched this movie WAY too much as a kid than an elementary schooler should have simply because it’s my mom’s favorite movie😂 and like over half of those jokes/lines went right over my head lol
In the original musical, Greased Lightening is sung by Kenike, but the studio was banking on Travolta's name, so he got the song.
The original stage show (before the movie ever existed) was a love letter to Chicago and the high school Jim Jacobs went to. It was also WAY raunchier, like R rated: There were multiple F-Bombs, Kenickie makes a joke about Rizzo sitting on his face, the opening number is the “VD” song they sing in the car outside of the slumber party, and at the end Patty calls Sandy a “flousie” and she punches Patty in the face giving her a black eye.
The original is a much better show, and almost an honest and proud indictment of how highschool life was at the time. The movie and subsequent revivals based off miss the mark, hard. I have a fondness for the movie only cause I did the show (heavily censored) in highschool. You really have to turn your brain off to enjoy it
Rest in piece Olivia 🥺 We will miss you, ya Aussie legend
The way I had absolutely no memory of Sandy being Australian in this movie
Really? It's mentioned several times by the cast.
Olivia Newton-John was Australian in real life too.
@@kennet7837 May she R.I.P
@@visaman in my defense, it's been a long time since I've seen the movie
@@bexyPTX It's ok, don't worry about it. This plot device was brought in because Olivia was Australian. It's not in the stage play book.
The funniest thing is to go watch a middle school aged production of the musical. The censorship and alternate lines are on "finding a stranger in the alps" level.
Or even better, watch a Christian version of it.
I saw this for the second time at a Church youth group meeting. Honestly, atheist that I was, I was nearly peeing myself with laughter as the church leaders were too horrified to turn off the movie. We got a talk afterwards and an apology. Good times!
The only thing I remembered about this movie was Jan making an impression of the Ipana toothpaste beaver 🤣
‘What is this a Pepsi commercial’
Heehee, I got that reference,
Ikr?😆 As someone who's a bit older, I did wonder if the kids would get it - and the "blink and you'll miss it" delivery just made it all the funnier!
7:20 Kenickie was supposed to sing it, which he does in the original play, but Travolta wanted the song in the movie and he got it because he was a bigger draw than Conaway. Travolta literally said "I wanted [it] and because I had clout, I could get [it]".
7:54 In many cuts of this movie, the poster in the background is a Coca-Cola ad that was blurred out in the movie but the version of the movie you are sinning looks like a Pepsi ad was digitally inserted for the Coke ad. I thought there would have been a sin for an obvious blur being obvious.
I watched this quite recently because my mom and I both had the flu at the same time. It's great for "brains off, shallow fun", which is really all we had the brainpower for lol.
I used to watch this so much when I was little that my mum threw the VHS in the bin lol.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Was it because you worn out the tape? Hmm...
@@Discosaturn Nope, she told me she couldn't stand hearing the songs anymore.
That’s mean of her!😭
Realizing this movie was rated PG and now an 18 year old realizing that there’s many adult jokes/sayings whatever you want to call them but I noticed them more in grease 2 😂
@Amira Jaghar exactly what I’m saying lol
Well it isn't like it was dirty enough to get an R rating. You had G, PG, R, and X.
It wasn't until later that PG-13 was added and X was replaced by NC-17.
*I'm clicking on this even though I know the songs will now be in my head ALL DAY!*
Even as a 12 year old I remember watching this with my dad and brothers and being like “wait this is messed up” and they were like “shut up woman,it’s classic haha” and that really does sum up the whole movie😭
its my fave movie. I could watch it forever
Typical macho attitude! You have my empathy.
Two missed sins: Before the Beauty School Dropout song, the waitress tries to turn the lights off with her elbow, completely misses the switch (by an embarrassingly large distance), but the lights still turn off. And during We Go Together, when all of the "kids" are on the grass part of the fairgrounds, Frenchie and a few others hit their knees, then the camera angle switches and Frenchie and the guy next to her have switched places.
If you’re gonna do Grease, you MUST do Grease 2 🤣
Reproduction (reproduction!) Put your pollen tube to work…
the sins for the song about going bowling would be hilarious
I was just wondering the other day when you would do this movie !
You're in my head ... and I love it !!!
When I was about 7 years old, we learned the songs to perform in front of the school for assembly. The teachers showed the songs played in the movie but skipped over everything else. I can't believe inappropriate this would have been at the time but it was the 90s. We had a cardboard cutout of cars taped to the giant ruler for the blackboard and performed "Greased Lightning".
When i saw this, I got chills. They're multiplying...
You were probably losing control
I love you guys, but you sapped all the fun out of this fantastic film. And Bowser of Sha-Na-Na was the sh*t lol.
Confession time.
This was one of my favorite movies as a kid…
Right next to Homeward Bound, Free Willy, and Race To Witch Mountain
You have excellent taste in movies, I loved many of those as a child myself!
Good movie choices! Which Race to Witch Mountain?

@@rahbeeuh The original. The one with The Rock in my opinion is an entirely different movie with little to no relation, not that I don’t think it has its own unique charms from a certain perspective but it’s comparatively more of a cheap cash grab using the name of the original.
Edit: I called it Race To Witch Mountain in my comment. Bit of Mandela Effect I suppose.
So, to clarify the ones I like are the 75 version and the Disney 1995 version which as I can see now are Escape to Witch Mountain and Return To Witch Mountain respectively according to the old faded jacket art I have here
Side note. As a kid I had this VHS movie where a team go into space and and end up landing on a dinosaur planet. All the dinosaurs are claymation and I think someone gets impaled by a triceratops. Anyone know the name of that movie?
My blood pressure is through the roof with all the salt here. 😂
Far more disturbing than the "flog your log" line being in the movie was the fact that my ten year old sister back then actually knowing what that meant since she told me, "don't ever say that" the first time we saw it.
Stockard Channing was a perfect casting choice for Rizzo still haven't watched Grease's spinoff series The Pink Ladies
The grease that becomes the name Grease is hair grease, not hair gel. And it represents greasers, which are what the Thunderbirds are.
The song you call "Alone at a Drive-In" is actually called "Sandy." The first line is "Stranded at the drive-in, branded as a fool." There is a song from "Grease" called "Alone at a Drive-In Movie," but it's an instrumental. Thank you for not destroying Olivia Newton-John. She wasn't a great actress, but she was an amazing person.
I've been a fan since her Country Music phase. I finally saw her in concert in 2012, in Vancouver.
Crazy story about ONJ...Shortly after Grease came out, the tiny town of Olivia, MN, wrote her a letter inviting her to be the grand marshall of their annual local parade...and she actually showed up and rode a horse in the parade! Can you imagine a celebrity of her caliber doing that today?
@@lastguyminn2324 She was indeed not your typical celebrity. They broke the mold when she was made.

I honestly don't remember Grease being this eff'd up. Always glad to see an older movie on here tho 👍🏾
Older being 1978. 🙄
@Albert Giesbrecht I guess you wanted 1935? Here’s 2 for you: 🙄🙄
Same. Especially since it was hugely influential, and going by the comment section, still has its fans.
I've seen it in other movies and shows, but this one really seems to go out of the way to depict SH as something that's just normal, and the normal reaction is just to ignore it - no protest, no shock, and sure as heck no complaint.
Now think of how many young boys / teenagers watched this, and that most of them are still around ...
Yo, no, Zuko would never say that.

Ready now for Grease 2
I have always watched this movie mindlessly. It will forever be changed now. Thank you CS
The "did she put up a fight" line is NOT about sexual assault. sheesh. 🙄
It's just a jab at Danny. It's like saying "you're so ugly, you probably had to to force her because no girl would be with you willingly". He's not saying Danny is actually in the habit of assaulting girls.
It's like when someone makes you angry and you say "I'm going to kill them!". Nobody actually thinks you literally are going to pick up a knife and stab them, right?
You all get 23098340 sins for taking things too fucking literally.
Literal childhood favorite, watching it now is hilarious considering these "teenagers" are older than I am now
Please sin the Doom films
Some of the "students" extras were in their mid-30s when it was filmed!
Preach, many looked like they were getting ready to attend their tenth or even twentieth year reunion!
“This actor’s destroyed ankle.” Daaaaaaaaam. That looked like it hurt. 😮
Fun fact in the theatre version Grease Lightning is actually performed by Kenickie
Sin 735 at 14:14 is a no go since you can clearly see on the screen it says , show starts in 8 minutes, not 0 as he claims.
I thought it was 6😂😂😂
it's actually 2
The hot dog is the very last scene in the film. It plays at all drive ins.
It actually says "show starts in 2 minutes"
In high school I was Rizzo in grease the musical. The song IS sung by Kenickie not Danny in the stage musical. Also 'hopelessly devoted to you' was written for the movie as well as 'You're the that I want'. There was no song where hopelessly devoted is in the movie and a different song called 'All choked up' for the finale song. The school has to pay for the rights to do the musical and use all of the songs and to be able to tape and distribute the show, so the school could have been fined if caught using those songs since their rights are not attached to the stage musical. At least that is what our directors told us when we read through the script the first time and found that the most well known songs were missing.
Edit: also multiple songs from the musical are not in the movie 'Freddy my Love' and 'Mooning' to name a couple. These focus on other characters relationships instead of Danny and Sandy so that's why I think they got cut from the movie.
The director explicitly stated the movie was sexual. If you look you will see innuendos everywhere.
Sandy was told by most of the characters that’s she is too snobbish/ prudish, etc. what she did in the end was meant as a grand gesture. Danny is wearing athletic sweater ( not jacket). Sweater is more “nerdy.” Interning how people think his transformation is less extreme. He became something he is not. It was meant to be mutual.
Wooooow a sweater, she changed way more than he did. And neither should have changed for the either, compromise on certain situations is one thing, but basically changing your personality is another. Someone changing because there decisions to be a giant dick to them by saying you like them and then hiding that person from his friends because they're ashamed to be seen with them, is wow.
@@bethanychatman9531 She didn't change at all really, she essentially played dress-up; for Danny, we see him actually making an effort throughout the movie.
@@bethanychatman9531 Danny’s change took the course of the entire movie stumbling the entire way. All that we see in Sandy is a grand gesture at the very end of the movie. How you can surmise that her change is greater with virtually no info other than her clothing is beyond me? I’m f you listen to the lyrics of the song you’ll get a hint of what she expects a man not a boy. She is not conveying I’m going to be a slut. It’s time for you grow up and be my man. The change Sandy was that she is no longer go to be the shy girl but a woman with demands that must be met. The sweater is a metaphor. Her outfit is a metaphor. The change was in their attitude and the song reveals that change.
@@bethanychatman9531 Welcome to the world of love, "teens", peer pressure and *actual growth* for characters.
Danny learned to not take peer pressure serious and to actually go after what he wants. Sandy learned that you don't have to follow society's roles and also go for what you want. The changes in dress at the end was to materialize the clear change they've both gone through.
Except that the second he sees "transformed" Sandy, Danny tears the sweater off and throws it away, going right back to the persona he's had through the whole movie. He didn't change. She did.
16:14 The fact that ONJ actually was sewn into those pants (because the zipper broke) worked for great comedic writing on your part
Omg I totally said this was a 50s euphoria too. I was honestly shocked by some of the content
"What is this, a Pepsi commercial?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Golden!
Thank you for the extra 570 sins. I know this channel is for fun, but I appreciate you all for bringing awareness to injustices. Best wishes!
Agreed, it's a way to not break the mood but also acknowledge not everything is joke worthy!
The line (to me) meant playing hard to get. This current trend of woke victim culture messes with peoples eyes
@@jayewherner7435 Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. “Woke” may have taken an extreme turn, but there are some things that very much need to be pointed out as not okay, and sexual assault is one of them.
The dress getting pulled into the air at the dance was the highest form of SA in the movie. The line in the song is taken out of context. People are looking for rain clouds and the sun is out
In hindsight with SJW glasses on the movie had its share of problems, but it’s nowhere close to the ideals/politics getting pushed on people now in movies/digital streaming platforms/social media etc
@@jayewherner7435 the entire time, Danny is dismissing the blonde chick and the amount of references/jokes to "forcing" themselves onto women is disgusting. It's not woke culture, the movie, in my opinion promotes objectifcation of women. It shows women should change for men, and they have to do nothing back. The arguments are valid
"1950s Euphoria" is so much more accurate than i anticipated sgdgsghs
This movie is fantastic, one of my favorites of all time. I am getting upset that you dislike it so much or you’re just pretending for the channel, I can never tell.
Adding 570 sins for the sa line is probably the least petty mass sinning we've ever gotten
Word.
Perfectly appropriate, given that the entire d--- movie treats SA as a normal ingredient of life - no shock, protest or for that matter, any reaction at all needed. Some guy openly looks up your skirt? Boys will be boys, no reason to do something as unladylike as protesting.
Plus: couple of dozen comments defending this 💩neatly disproves the "but it's just entertainment!" excuse.
