Trivia:

Director Pat Birch said by the time filming began, the script wasn't even complete yet, so she had to try her best to work with what she had.

Goofs:

Anachronisms: The movie is explicitly set in 1961 (two years after the first film). Yet during the opening "Back to School" production number, basketball players are shown dribbling red, white and blue basketballs. These tri-colored balls were not introduced until the founding of the American Basketball Association (the ABA) in the fall of 1967.

Quotes:

Michael Carrington: [practicing bowling invitation] Howdy fellas,let's bowl some balls.

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.
