Although still enchanted by the mysterious Cool Rider, interactions with Michael reveal that she has become romantically interested in him as well. Johnny, upon seeing them together in a discussion, demands that Stephanie quit the Pink Ladies to preserve his honor. The Pink Ladies walk away haughtily, but this has little effect on the T-Birds' self-confidence ("Prowlin'").Īt school, Stephanie's poor grades in English lead her to accept Michael's offer of help. Johnny, enraged by Stephanie's new romance, threatens to fight the Cool Rider if he sees him with her again. Before Michael leaves, he tells Stephanie that he will see her at the school talent show, in which the Pink Ladies and T-Birds are performing. Just as Michael is about to reveal his identity, they are interrupted by the arrival of the T-Birds and Pink Ladies. The next evening while working at a gas station/garage, Stephanie is surprised again by the Cool Rider, and they enjoy a romantic twilight motorcycle ride, which includes a kiss. Meanwhile, Louis, one of the T-Birds, attempts to trick his sweetheart Sharon, one of the Pink Ladies and Stephanie's friends, into losing her virginity to him by taking her to a fallout shelter and faking a nuclear attack ("Let's Do It for Our Country").
Stephanie is fascinated with the stranger. Before the fight starts, a lone mysterious biker appears (who is actually Michael in disguise), defeats the enemy gang and disappears into the night ("Who's That Guy?"). Stuart, a substitute teacher, a gang of rival motorcyclists called the Cycle Lords (most of whom are members of the defunct Scorpions) led by Leo Balmudo, surprise the T-Birds at the bowling alley. Using his intelligence, Michael begins to covertly accept payments from the T-Birds to write their term papers and uses the cash to buy a motorcycle.įollowing an unusual biology lesson ("Reproduction") given by Mr. After realizing that he will only win her affection if he turns himself into a cool rider, Michael gets to work on acquiring a motorcycle. Bemused by this unexpected kiss, Michael falls in love with Stephanie so asks her out, but he learns that she has a very specific vision of her ideal man ("Cool Rider"). Stephanie retaliates by kissing the next man who walks in the door, who happens to be Michael. Michael eventually meets Stephanie and quickly becomes smitten with her.Īt the local bowling alley, a game ("Score Tonight") turns sour due to the animosity between Johnny and Stephanie. Frenchy reveals she has returned to Rydell to obtain her high school diploma so she can start her own cosmetics company. He is welcomed and introduced to the school atmosphere by Frenchy, who was asked by Sandy to help show Michael around. The Pink Ladies are now led by Stephanie Zinone, who feels she has "outgrown" her relationship with her ex-boyfriend Johnny Nogerelli, the arrogant, chauvinistic, domineering and rather immature new leader of the motorcycle riding T-Birds.Ī new arrival comes in the form of clean-cut English student Michael Carrington (a cousin of Sandy Olsson from the previous film). It is 1961, two years after the original Grease ended and the first day of school has arrived ("Alma Mater" from the original musical) as Principal McGee and her secretary Blanche react in horror as the students, among them the new T-Birds and Pink Ladies, arrive at high school ("Back to School Again"). The film, now known for being the breakout roles for Pfeiffer, Adrian Zmed and Christopher McDonald, was otherwise poorly received, with Grease co-creator Jim Jacobs (who was not involved with Grease 2) being particularly displeased with it. In the United States, the film was released in theaters on June 11, 1982, and grossed a little over $15 million against a production budget of $11 million, a far cry from its predecessor's $132 million gross at the domestic box office. It takes place two years after the original film's high school graduation at Rydell High School, set in the JFK 1961–1962 school year, with an almost entirely new cast, led by actors Maxwell Caulfield and Michelle Pfeiffer in her first starring role. Originally titled More Grease, the film was produced by Allan Carr and Robert Stigwood, and directed and choreographed by Patricia Birch, who also choreographed the first film and the Broadway musical. Grease 2 is a 1982 American musical romantic comedy film and the sequel to the 1978 film Grease, which is based upon the 1971 musical of the same title by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey.
