Cool rider! Grease 2 added motorcycles to its predecessor’s successful musical formula to create a sleeper hit that fans are still falling in love with decades later.In 1982, the Grease sequel took fans back to Rydell High for a new spin on the high school popular crowd.

While Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) and Danny (John Travolta) had graduated, their presence was felt with a new generation of the Pink Ladies and the T-Birds.In the second film, which was set two years after the events of the original movie in 1961, Sandy’s cousin, Michael Carrington (Maxwell Caulfield), finds himself trying to fit in.

With the help of OG Pink Lady Frenchy (Didi Conn), who comes back to finish her degree, he slowly finds his way.After falling for Pink Lady rebel Stephanie Zinone (Michelle Pfeiffer), Michael realizes that he needs to be more than the helpful tutor on campus.

He teaches himself how to ride a motorcycle — which is the vehicle of choice for the new T-Birds — and eventually lands the girl.While the 1978 original was a massive success and is still beloved today, Grease 2 had a much slower burn. “At the time, I was young and didn’t know better,” Pfeiffer told WENN in 2014 of taking the role. “I hated that film with a vengeance and could not believe how bad it was.”The Age of Innocence star explained to Entertainment Weekly in April 2023 that there was “a tremendous amount of hype” around the sequel.“Both Maxwell and I were both unknowns.
