Given the runaway success of
Grease, which became the biggest-grossing movie musical of all time, it was all but inevitable that there would be a sequel, and four years later this follow-up brought a new group of kids back to Rydell High. It's 1961, and Stephanie Zinone (
Michelle Pfeiffer) is the tough leader of the Pink Ladies, while Michael Carrington (
Maxwell Caulfield) is a clean-cut British exchange student. Michael likes Stephanie, but the Pink Ladies' by-laws prevent her from dating guys who aren't members of the T-Birds, their affiliated male gang. However, when a Zorro-like masked avenger on a motorcycle rescues Stephanie from a gang of ill-mannered toughs, she's eager to get to know the hero with the cool wheels. Any guesses as to who he might be?
Eve Arden,
Sid Caesar, and
Dody Goodman return from the first film as members of the Rydell High faculty, while actual '50s teen icons
Tab Hunter and
Connie Stevens are on board as new members of the staff;
Didi Conn as Frenchy is the only one of the students to appear in both movies.
Patricia Birch, who served as choreographer on
Grease, made her debut as a director on
Grease 2; while she's remained active as a choreographer, she hasn't directed again since.
