The reason why people my age love Grease 2 is because it was played constantly on HBO when we first got cable. As little kids then, we watched it constantly. And to us kids back then, the first Grease didn’t exist because we were not exposed to it. True story.
It was a lot of fun to work with Patricia and Maxwell and Lorna on Grease 2. The entire cast was great . Pat was a fun director. She referred to those of us who were middle aged as "the over 25s." I was the bowling alley manager in the Score Tonight scene. The sad thing that hurt Grease 2 was that it opened the same day as ET.
Wow! Thanks for commenting and sharing your story. What a difference that makes to open the same day a high profile movie like ET. I'm sure Grease 2 would've done much better if it opened at a different time. I loved this more than the original Grease.
Wow! I never knew that Grease 2 opened the same day as ET. STIFF competition. I would have loved to have seen Grease 2 in the theaters, in Summer, 1982; and actually planned to, even though I was 8 years old at the time. I had seen Grease in theaters in 1978, and all of the other re-releases up to 1981, so me and my older Sister were certainly thinking of doing it. To this day, I can't remember why/how we didn't see it. When it came on cable and VHS, We sure watched the hell out of it, then. I STILL want a special edition remaster of the entire soundtrack (inc. the B-sides and unreleased material) on vinyl and CD.
I fell in love with this movie when I was a little girl. I’m now 45, and this movie is still very dear to my heart! It will ALWAYS be one of my favorite movies. 💗
Quite frankly, I like Grease 2 better than Grease. (I actually like the Grease 2 movie alot, but didn't really care for Grease). Also, I wish Lorna had more of a role, . . . a solo singing, etc. Her voice was so beautiful it would have been nice to see!
Me too! I just can't imagine any of those other actors playing that role. No way would they have been as "delicious". He was perfect! He does brooding so well while still being the classy "good guy"
@@hollyb6885 Oh, please. Don't listen to radical accusatory rhetoric, got enuff of that running around here already. The song is not as it was just described, and no one was ravaged during the song, and old school is not P C. Never will be. The scene was hilarious, as they all were. I guess "Reproduction" would have 'feminarcissists' heads popping off, huh? Girl, love the movie and enjoy yourself.
I was a kid when Grease 2 came out and it baffles me that Grease 2 bombed in the Box Office.? I've watched Grease 2 countless times and have Yet to ever see the original Grease.!!
I loved this movie so much. When I was 8 saw it in Cinemax. around 88 before Grease 1. What the choreographer mentioned was right you fall in love with what you see first. For me this was better than first one cause of that.
Grease 2 is great. Yea it’s cheesy at times and nothing can compare to the original. But it’s really funny, it has a fun/exciting vibe, great songs and the characters are hilarious
I know that the ravings of a former 8 year old (when this film came out) doesnt make up for a ruined career but between this movie and Xanadu... It is the foundational blocks of my childhood and me as a person (that sounds kinda scary when re-reading this lol) i have to say that i am SURE it helped shape who i ended up becoming. I know i am not alone in this. Grease 2 is a cultural icon and will live on far beyond any of us. It is the stuff that legacies are made of! Thank you for your sacrifice. You gifted my life something that can transport me to a time when things were so ideal and foreign from today, when playing my LP or humming any and all of the songs that are imprinted into my brain. It is such a part of me that i dont think even dementia will be able to take away! Thank you! You created true art! Campy art but that suits me just fine!
Grease 2 to me is way better than the first Grease film because he wasn't pressured into changing himself he change yourself so he can be with her and yet she liked him just the way he is prophets much more funnier I love all the songs my favourite character is pullet she's such an enjoy to watch
I absolutely LOVED/ LOVE Grease 2. A majority of sequels are rarely as good as the original but for me. It’s smack dab even. Depending on the day, Grease might be my #1 or Grease 2 will be my #1 but as of now they are 100% even.
“Hey JOHNNY JOHNNY go for that strike and I just might be your BABY tonight!!!” That is my part!! 😂😂 I’m 28 btw love both grease movies. Grew up watching with my granny.
Grease 2 was my heart and mind as a kid... ugh, was lovin' it during summertime on HBO. I honestly believe that if they had adjusted the wording in the title a bit, something like "Grease 2: The New Class", then it would have been a diff way for NON-Grease fan audiences to receive it, and would have shaped how die-hard fans of Grease chose to receive it, becuz they would be able to promote it as a whole new chapter but still maintain its unique flavor. I liked Grease, but it didn't hit me hard-as-nails-in-wood like Grease 2. It should be re-released for those of us who are now the die-hards, and for Non-G and even Non-G2 fans... a cult classic that stayed 'based', and unique, and made impact to folks that dug the era and the awesome movie scene. Our kids/grands would somehow get to see/feel what we saw/felt. When something's good to you, the feeling never really goes away. Gotta go Back/Back, Back To School AGAIN!
Yes.. i cant believe it has been 38-39 years now..I was 12 back then, wanting so much for Maxwell to look the same, heyyy! I forgot that I ll be 50 this year..
Very nice video. Kind of sad in a way seeing how much it's less than stellar reception damaged Maxwell Caulfield's later career. However I am an avid Grease 2 buff. My girlfriend gripes about me watching so much, but she used to make me watch LOST and secret life of the american teenager (I hate it so much I refuse to capitalize the letters in the title), so a little revenge by Grease 2 is acceptable. Rant - Germany 1982-1983. Very few US movies. Tron and Grease 2 watched bi-weekly back to back for the year, among 7 more VHSs we had. In the past 36 years I've come to see Grease 2 as worthy of the title Grease, even if not as classic as the first. It's not a direct sequel, it's more a continuation of life at Rydell High. Besides Ivy Austin as Francine is a real treat. Francine may have dressed nerdy but she was as hot as any Pink Lady. She was a dance so she had to have had an amazing physique.
Sorry, I meant his later acting gigs were limited due to how badly Grease 2 flopped. He still did okay with The Colby's, but as he said himself, it took ten years to get over Grease 2. Thankfully, these days, he seems to embrace the fact that there are more fans of Grease 2 nowadays than there were back when it came out.
Maxwell was wonderful in the movie. I did always wonder about Lorna's hair. Now I know that they tried dying her hair then they decide to put a wig on her.
Maxwell Caulfield said at time stamp 9:05 he was on his way to star in a musical, in Alaska. Wikipedia says that was in 2015. My Fair Lady Henry Higgins Atwood Concert Hall, Anchorage, Alaska
ahh he doesnt sound it though does he - I wikipeidia'd it & not only was he born newby it says he claimed to be a native of glasgow. according to wikipedia it says reportedly to be more interesting lol
@@zahemi914 Yes I thought so. Seems when someone lives over there for ages they pick up the same accent. It's like my dad. He's from South Wales & his accent was really strong but when he came to Manchester he lost most of his Welsh accent & it's mixed with a mancunian accent
I'd love to know what film Maxwell is referring to around 6:15. The only thing I can think of is 'The Class of 1984', but that was more of a cult film - whatever he's talking about sounds more like a commercial success.
These are outtakes from the documentary "The Fabulous Allan Carr" available for rental or purchase on iTunes, CZcams, Amazon, and Vimeo. Hope you can check it out!
His accent has def changed (I recently saw his Dynasty episodes). Here it is a mix of his original English accent with some strong American additions (I'm Australian)

That's gospel truth rt there! I was 12 y.o. at first look of G2
So true!!! I was 11 and watched constantly on HBO.
for me, it was on ABC Family all the time
@@Movies123Online much better uncensored and with no commercials. Ugh, I can't even watch regular TV now.
Yep. Exactly.
Poor Maxwell. I hope he knows there is a fanbase
There is a huge one now! Back then, not so much! I love both “Grease” movies! I don’t look at it as part 2!
Yes! I couldn’t imagine this movie without Maxwell!
I think he always had a fan base. I certainly was a fan
Yes, I loved him in The Colbys too. (Dynasty spinoff)

I'm sure Grease 2 would've done much better if it opened at a different time. I loved this more than the original Grease.
Nah it was simply just too campy and not Grease 1. Its cult following now however comes from that same camp. 💞💖💕
I really love Grease 2 😃♥️♥️ Girl for All Seasons is One of the best songs ever ✨✨❤️

Same!
Lorna looks terrific! Her haircolor & makeup is so flattering. Max is a great guy and also looks great.
I think Lorna is so much more down to earth and talented as her sister
@@thomasbradley4505 I'm 32 and I think she's still gorgeous.
Man I could watch hours of these interviews. I adored Grease 2 growing up. I also liked the fact that the main female character is named Stephanie. :)
Maxwell has lived in the states for a while and you can really hear it lol
I know I said that too
He's been married to Juliet Mills for over 40 years now. British acting royalty!
Quite frankly, I like Grease 2 better than Grease. (I actually like the Grease 2 movie alot, but didn't really care for Grease). Also, I wish Lorna had more of a role, . . . a solo singing, etc. Her voice was so beautiful it would have been nice to see!
She inherited her voice from her mum Judy Garland. 🤣
@@hammycats6919 Most definitely!
Cher Cher I agree. Grease 2 I definitely liked better. I also liked the songs better too. Lorna definitely had a beautiful voice too.
I'm totally the opposite I couldn't even watch all of Grease 2 after watching Grease.
@Bella Kona well said..i always like G2 much better..with better songs and casts too. I grew up, wanting to act, dress and speak like Micheal
Growing up staying up late night cable movies. I always found Maxwell Caulfield awesome and delicious!
Me too! I just can't imagine any of those other actors playing that role. No way would they have been as "delicious". He was perfect! He does brooding so well while still being the classy "good guy"
We don’t wanna hear about you fingering yourself to Maxwell at night…
He was gorgeous!
The “Do it for our country” musical scene is fantastic. Cute, funny, ...
Out of all the scenes, you pick the most rapeyist song in movie history
Adam J K Oops. Sorry. I’m not always politically correct.

It was my late wife's favourite of the 2.

I was 9 when I saw this movie. It was my favorite. I also had the record album used to listen to it all the time.
I love Grease 2 💙
Grease is so good can’t believe how good they all still look after so many years :)
I am so happy to see this! "Grease 2" REALLY needed special features on the DVD (and Blu-Ray, which is also bare bones!)
Lorna is gorgeous.
Amazing that she doesnt look like her mum or sister, I dont think thats a bad thing 😉 she looks like she grown old gracefully
@@natashabrown9315 I'm only 30, but I think she has a pretty lucky husband.
One of my favorite movies of all time. Truly a masterpiece!!
35 years later - I'm still thirsting for Michael 😋
2:01 I'm 32 and, for whatever reason, I think is Lorna is just "wow".
I love Grease 2!!!! Amazing Talent!!!!
Sad that Hollywood wants to "own" people. This guy said so himself. He is brave enough to admit it.
I know that the ravings of a former 8 year old (when this film came out) doesnt make up for a ruined career but between this movie and Xanadu... It is the foundational blocks of my childhood and me as a person (that sounds kinda scary when re-reading this lol) i have to say that i am SURE it helped shape who i ended up becoming.

I viewed Grease 2 as the guy playing Sandy's role (right down to the accent) and the girl playing Danny's role.
That was an English accent. Olivia had an Aussie accent.
sorry noone would have been better then Maxwell -none of those guys he mentioned hold a candle to him in terms of charisma and sex appeal
I ADORE MAXWELL CAULFIELD HE IS SOOOOO DDG DROP DEAD GORGEOUS -WHY HAS HE GAINED A SLIGHT AMERICAN ACCENT
He stayed in the US for a while and was even a part of Dynasty in the 80s.
Grease 2 to me is way better than the first Grease film because he wasn't pressured into changing himself he change yourself so he can be with her and yet she liked him just the way he is prophets much more funnier I love all the songs my favourite character is pullet she's such an enjoy to watch
maxwell's wife is such a lucky lady being married to him with kids - I wouldnt mind being married to him -hes DDG DROP DEAD GORGEOUS
I'm 30 and I'm jealous of Lorna's husband.
@@j.b.9260 wow - why are you jealous??
@@sarabrown3821 I wasn't being serious. It was my way of saying I think she's gorgeous.
@@j.b.9260 lol yes i know I realised that lol
I like Grease 2 a lot and the romance was a lot more captivating than the first, but overall it’s a watered down version of the first Grease.

@@kenmasterson6576e can blame it on Grease 2 all he wants, he wasn’t that good of an actor.
Michelle Pfeiffer has had a very successful career.
Maxwell was wonderful in the movie. I did always wonder about Lorna's hair. Now I know that they tried dying her hair then they decide to put a wig on her.
Maxwell looks like a nice guy. It sucks that the movie wasn't a hit like that first and it rummaged his career
Maxwell is number 1, this is my favourite movie. Love Lewis too
Maxwell Caulfield said at time stamp 9:05 he was on his way to star in a musical, in Alaska. Wikipedia says that was in 2015. My Fair Lady Henry Higgins Atwood Concert Hall, Anchorage, Alaska
I wonder if his experiences on Grease 2 helped fuel Max's performance as Rex Manning?
I still love this movie
I loved this movie ..
Lorna,.....you look AMAZING! 💋💋💋💋
I'm 31 and I think she's gorgeous.
Reproduction!!! The best song!!
I enjoyed this film.
When you're a young gay girl in the midwest, Michelle Pfeiffer in this is everything
I love grease 2 much prefer it to grease 👍
Guilty pleasure
god hes gorgeous is he actually an english actor or is he american
Scottish, I think.
ahh he doesnt sound it though does he - I wikipeidia'd it & not only was he born newby it says he claimed to be a native of glasgow. according to wikipedia it says reportedly to be more interesting lol
He is English and married to Juliet Mills, his sister in law is Hayley Mills and his father in law was the great John Mills. 👍
He is English buy been living in the US for years, so he has picked some American accent

Grease 2 was far better than Grease. Yea, I said it!
Is this on a DVD ? These are not film outtakes. These are interviews
These are outtakes from the documentary "The Fabulous Allan Carr" available for rental or purchase on iTunes, CZcams, Amazon, and Vimeo. Hope you can check it out!
@@automatpictures are there more with the cast of Grease 2 or iis thus all?
@@thewizboy There's much more in the documentary.
to me Grease 2 was so much better than the first one. Way better singing, better songs, except the bomb shelter scene...that sucked
what film is Maxwell referring to at 6:11 ?
A film I've never heard of called baby it's you 1983
Has Michelle Pfeiffer ever talked about doing this movie ?
(Also, I think he's right, Andy Gibb was meant to play Michael.)
Ew! No! Lol Maxwell was and is so hot!
Maxwell says that Andy was too wooden?? Maxwell gave one of the most wooden performances in the history of Hollywood wood.
He didn't personally say that...he was repeating what the "powers that be" had said.
Drugs concerning Andy.
That’s how Hess supposed to be
Is that Paulette??
It is. 🙂
Yes
My son Ethan who is 9 likes Grease 2.
Grease 2 > grease 1
Grease had much better songs and actors. Grease 2 had the better message.
“Outtakes”?
He’s losing his accent
He sounds English enough to me.
J. B. English people do not sound like that
His accent has def changed (I recently saw his Dynasty episodes). Here it is a mix of his original English accent with some strong American additions (I'm Australian)
Maxwell Caulfield, in this particular video segment, reminds me of late-actor: Robert Reed (facial features).
