Trivia:

The song "Do It For Our Country" is a duet between Sharon (Maureen Teefy) and Louis (Peter Frechette). However, Maureen Teefy couldn't make it to the recording of the song, so Peter Frechette had to sing the whole song himself, which is why on the movie's soundtrack, Maureen's vocals are not included. Later, Maureen's voice was dubbed in, but her voice didn't make the soundtrack's final cut.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: In the last frame of the ending credits, we see Stephanie in a photo, wearing the white dress we see her in during the "biker Heaven" sequence. This photo would not really be possible, because that sequence was a dream Stephanie had while singing.

Quotes:

Frenchy: [Talking with Michael near fence and he notices Stephanie with the Pink Ladies] Michael, I think there's something you don't understand. You see,Stephanie Zinone is a Pink Lady,which means,if you're not a T-Bird, which you are not, you can look, but don't touch.
[as Michael gazes at Stephanie]
Frenchy: Michael? I wouldn't even look.
Michael Carrington: Well, then, how do you become one of these T-Birds then? Eh?

SCORE TONIGHT

Very enjoyable and funny

I dont understand why this movie is being slammed so much. The first Grease is a classic and its always impossible to follow a classic with an equal sequel. I happened to enjoy this sequel better than the original. I thought it was funnier and I enjoyed the music in this movie better than the first. Especially the "Reproduction"scene...you can't watch that and not agree that that is one funny part of the movie. I also thought Maxwell Caulfield was GORGEOUS as Michael. I overall give this movie 7/10.
