I don’t know about anyone else, but the ending where Olivia turned, smiled, and flew off into the clouds;…it hit me different this time!
Damn... right?
The Thing from 1982 is what you need to watch next. Youve seen Alien, youve seen Aliens, its time for you to watch 1982's The Thing.
@@patronus5855 Nice place to put a new recommendation.
Rest In Eternal Paradise Olivia Newton-John.🕯
I was just coming here to say that. I forgot all about it until this moment when she turned and waved to us with a smile...uhg...my heart.
I cried :(
Asia smiling like a school girl during Sandy's ballad "hopelessly devoted to you"... That made my day!
That smiles kills just as must as Olivia does during the song!
Yeah. Very cute.
How could you not adore Olivia’s delivery in that song.
Right? She's so cute lol ♥
Asia makes me hopeful that there's still sweet women with a good heart out there somewhere..
Asia's little hand holding next to her cheek while grinning is honestly so cute I could cry 😭😭
Hey!!! Thanks Chi 🫣
Asia is just beautiful Love watching these guys reactions!
Literally about to write the same thing!!! So precious!!
Asia absolutely loved this gem of a film, you could see it in her eyes the entire time.
“Saturday Night Fever” came out a year earlier and that made him a movie star. You think his dancing was good in this, you’ll be amazed by the dancing in that. Very different movie. It earns its R rating.
And staying alive. The Broadway show at the end still gives me chills
Yes. It’s a must watch!
Sat night fever is a drama in many ways. But the dancing is fun. Music is fun.
Boy in the Plastic Bubble was another one of Travolta's real early movies
Travolta specifically asked that Olivia be cast as Sandy.
My favorite part of this reaction was Asia's smile whenever a song was playing. It looks like you both had so much fun with this... thanks for your hard work!
We really did Jason! Thanks
I will second that. I knew she would love each and every song!
Asia went straight-up dreamy-eyed to "Hopelessly Devoted to You." And BJ was right behind her. That was sweet.
the entire school dance off scene is just incredible. Sha-na-na on stage....the story between Danny & Sandy.... perfect storytelling
Love the song those magic changes so much
my girl Chacha ate and left no scrubs
You guys are right, this movie was made in 1978 but is historically in 1958... Based on a 1971 musical.
Love all of your reactions...
They picked the right lady to go up beside John Travolta, they worked so well together.
When I was a kid I saw Grease 12 times and yes I still know every word to every song in this musical. I love it and always will. RIP beautiful lady...Olivia N J💕
Great reactions guys. Aussie fan*
Greetings from a fellow Aussie STILL in shock & disbelief about Australia’s sweetheart no longer being with us ✋️😔🇦🇺. I think this reaction from Asia & BJ will be the perfect “pick me up” for our spirits as we mourn Olivia.
probably be a better fit if they hired underage male prostitutes or gay masseurs
If they got married her name would have been Olivia newton john-travolta
I grew up before on-demand TV was even a dream--VCRs had just started to become common household items in my elementary school years. So I used to wait, eagerly, every year, and every year it would be the Sunday night movie on the local ABC affiliate, and I would watch it religiously.
@@etpelle72 That would have been class!! :D
Grease is like the Star Wars of musicals (popularity wise). Can't tell you enough how huge this movie was in 78.
I went to see it in the theaters 18 times!
Right, I remember being dropped off by dad and I am not kidding when I say the line was almost a mile long to get in. It was cool to because a lot of people were wearing 50s Era costumes. Then we finally got in the only seats left were frount row and I wound up have to sit on my friends lap! But it was worth it. RIP Olivia you are definitely missed and mourned.💔💔💔😢😢😢
I'm not that old for reference. But until high school musical came out. Grease was commonly on the no go list for teachers doing musicals with high school students.
@@CannonRaw My English Teacher took her classes to NYC To see The play in 1977
@@viacrucis2509 WOOOW LOL
This movie never gets old 💞🍿🌟😊
RIP Olivia 💜🙇♂️⚘👼🌠
I had the soundtrack on vinyl...although we just called it an album back then. I put on my moms heels and danced around the living room...i think i broke a pair or 2 of heels...this movie was HUGE!! Its a classic and i can watch it over and over again and can listen to the soundtrack on repeat FOREVER.
I love Rizzo’s “There Are Worse Things I Could Do” song so much. Rizzo is one of those characters you hate as a kid but as you grow up you realize that even though she acted tough and like she didn’t care she only did that because she felt really vulnerable and she was actually really hurt by Kinickie calling the baby a mistake (even though I don’t think he meant it that way) so that’s why she lied about it not being his but of course both she and Kinickie actually adored each other and were both really hurt by the misunderstanding.
i grew watching it , first time i watch it was like 10/11 yrs old and kenickie and rizzo was actually my favorite , bc they were characters you can relate with , and as you grow older you realize where the hell are the parents of these wild teenagers
That's pretty much why I sang the song in my jazz recital. The whole programme was called, "There are worse things I could do", and most songs were about/from the perspective of women in extreme love-related situations. "Love for sale", and another German prostitute song "Nur für's Geld" (only for the money), Kate Bush's "Wedding List", etc.
But Rizzo, full of passion and trying to find love and her place in the world, was the inspiration.
Poor Rizzo was just a misunderstood girl.
Stockard Channing is her name. She was 33 when she played Rizzo!
Exactly!
He can act, he can sing, he can dance, John Travolta is an absolute legend! And Olivia... she was just perfection!! ❤ Rest in peace, Sandy 😢
Funny how he drifted into obscurity before Pulp fiction revitalised his career.
@@gunman462 'Look Who's Talking' series brought him back.
@@putinscat1208 I loved those as a kid but he was living in limbo until Tarantino picked him back up.
@@gunman462 That's personal. But it was the Look Who's Talking that brought him back. Pulp Fiction just made it more so.
@@putinscat1208 I couldn't argue because i was young but media says otherwise. I still give credit to your opinion because media is full of shit lol.
RIP Olivia. When this movie was filmed in the summer of 1977, ONJ was 28 and JT was 23. The movie was released a year later, so their ages often show up as 29 and 24, respectively. And Olivia was already a huge recording artist/star in the US. I know, I had her albums and listened to her music on the radio all the time in early 1970's. I was already a huge fan. Thanks for the great reaction!
She did another movie with John Travolta called "Two Of A Kind" , a silly comedy , but the song "The Second Time Around" was pretty good. She also was in the original movie version of "Xanadu", another musical.
Grease was originally a very popular Broadway Musical and then made into a movie. Olivia Newton John was a very popular singer in the ‘70’s and John Travolta was a movie star. So for both of them this was challenging their talents. When this movie came out it was very popular!!! I remember going to the movie theatre at least 3 or more times to see it. It’s a great story, very relatable (teen peer pressure) and the songs are super fun and catchy! Still to this day one of my favorite musicals!!!
John's big break acting wise was a tv show called "Welcome Back Kotter". John can dance check him in Saturday Night Fever which came out a year before Grease. The Bee Gees did a lot of the music for Saturday Night Fever and Barry Gibb did the theme song for Grease.
I used to watch Welcome back Kotter.
Barry Gibb wrote the theme song, but it was performed by Frankie Valli. Still one of my favorite songs of all time.
Saturday Night Fever music in my crowd we were not allowed to like because it was disco but I secretly did like it a lot. But worse, my buddies and I went to a certain movie theater with three "XXX's" in it on Saturday nights. That theater played the sound track from Saturday Night Fever so often till this day I feel a tingle when I hear "Staying Alive." LOL.
Vinnie Barbarino..
But he went away for a while but he came back in a Tarantino flick of all things, Dancing.
I'd just like to say, that her laugh during movies is absolutely ADORABLE!!!!
Aww, Thanks! ❤️❤️
Asia's laugh makes me laugh!
My wife asked me why I like watching your reaction videos and now I know. I’ve never had so much fun watching this movie. Watching it with you guys made it somehow more fun. Your genuine smile throughout the movie made me enjoy it that much more.
Aww, thanks Antonio G ❤️❤️
I think people underrate Rizzo's story... She was dating Danny before the summer, and then he fell in love during summer with someone else!
So that's why she and her friend group were kinda mean to Sandy and why Rizzo made fun of her. After the sleepover she tried to make Danny jealous by flirting with his friend but he didn't care at all, that has to hurt.
Kenickie was the only one to treat her right but she didn't trust that any more.
She lied about him being the father to get him off the hook. And when she sings her songs she talks about how she goes out with a lot of guys but she never double crosses them.
Great reaction!
It makes sense now after reading your comment!! Where in the movie did where you found out that Danny dated Rizzo?
@@blaqpirate it’s not explicitly stated in the movie but it’s kind of implied, I think it’s more clear in earlier stage versions of Grease.
@@LorraineVirginie Thanks!
That's the way I (and most of us) viewed it when first I saw it in the theater in 1978. Rizzo is definitely an under appreciated character that a lot of younger audiences don't seem to get. She has as much of a character arc as the two leads.
did you make that up ? that seems to be a complete different story for Rizzo of the movie
When Sandy and Danny drive off into the sunset, Sandy looks back with a smile and a wave... Oof, that hits so differently now. I can't help but tear up. Sweet and genuine human. ONJ will be greatly missed.
Since yous guys seem to be jonesing for a deep dive into ONJ's catalogue, I can't encourage it enough! What's kind of gnarly to think about is that like Cher, ONJ had eras ... the early 70s was like her folk/country era, mid-70s contemporary pop era, and late 70s disco/pop rock-ish era, 80s pop, 90s new age, 00s kind of came full circle going back to her roots to country-ish
Just food for thought... No matter what, you can't go wrong with ONJ, she's friggin' awesome!
Asia had a beautiful smile in her face the entire movie. Lol
My daughters were born a few years after Grease was released. When they were older, we all watched it together on VHS and for quite a while it was their Saturday morning go-to entertainment. Now, my grandchildren sit and stare at their mothers singing along to the film, amazed that they know all the words.
That’s nice! Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️
Asia's smile through out the entire thing is how this movie makes me feel - pure joy.
Always cracked me up how everyone has always thought what a wholesome movie this was because of Olivia Newton-John. Yet it has teen smoking and drinking, potential teen pregnancy, very close to a sexual assault, mention of a gang bang, and Greased Lightning is one of the dirtiest songs ever written, especially for the 70s. 😂
LOL That's the reason my boyfriend and I were allowed to go see this movie without a chaperone/parent (a first for us) ...they thought it couldn't be that bad if it had "Vinnie Barbarino" and ONJ in it and it was a musical!! Haha 😉
There's always that one, that has to ruin it.😡
So like regular teenage shenanigans then lol
"You know that I ain't braggin... it's a real p*ssy wagon".... if you're listening... there's ton of innuendo.
welcome to the 70s
Travolta's break out movie was Saturday Night Fever, then Grease and the next musical with country music and dancing around 1980 is Urban Cowboy! Olivia is just an angel like BJ said and people have said in real life she was just as kind and real RIP ❤️🎼✌️
He had also been in Carrie (1976)
Did Saturday Night Fever come first?
Urban Cowboy is NOT a musical. It's a classic movie and does have country music and dancing at a honky tonk but that doesn't make it a musical
@Germaine Jakes thanks
Asia looks like I do when I watch musical numbers, lol. This is a great film, imo one of the best musicals. Olivia N-J and John T both have glorious voices and are so likable in this.
Olivia just recently passed away. This is one of the best musicals ever produced. Just so much fun. It has been reproduced in just about every high school drama class in the nation. What makes it so fun is this is just how life was like in the 50's and 60's, the good ole days! It was a time of wealth, fun, and innocence - along with racism and Viet Nam. But still this is just a great movie that you can't help but like and smile over.
The guardian angel in white singing to Frenchie is Frankie Avalon. He was a teen idol in the 50's and 60's. Mostly because of his music like *Venus* but in the 60's he did several beach movies with previous Disney Mousketeer Annette Funicello. Some great music in this movies but my favorite is probably Annette's solo *Treat Him Nicely*
RIP Olivia. Also 45 years ago today we lost Elvis.
That part always makes me laugh when he's standing on top of the beautiful car and then you realize it was all just them getting excited about their dream car, and he's standing on top of the crappy car still. 🤣
Your comments throughout were giving me face ache from laughing.
Asia: "I did not know John Travolta had moves like that" you should watch Saturday Night Fever, his moves are another level.
Great reaction from you both 💜
A lot of people miss Vince Fontaine back flipping into the shot while simultaneously catching the microphone at 27:41 at the very end. It's quite impressive.
I have NEVER noticed that all the years I've watched this!
@@mindime1499 I didn't either until someone pointed it out to me. Impressive, right?
Holy crap that was awesome! I saw the mic catch but I never noticed his back flip into shot!!
Made in the 70s, set in the 50s. The soundtrack is terrific, but watching the movie puts everything in context and brings an entirely new level of appreciation
John Travolta suggested Olivia Newton-John for the movie and he won thank goodness she's perfect for the part of Sandy. The two remained lifelong friends, unfortunately for John it was the third woman he cared for to lose a battle with breast cancer his first love Diana Hyland, his wife Kelly Preston and now Olivia rest in peace to those beautiful ladies. I did see that a church in the Netherlands had the Bells tolling the tune hopelessly devoted to you in honor of Olivia Newton-John which brought me to tears. Great movie I had been a fan of Olivia Newton-John before the movie I grew up listening to her music. Beautiful voice, soul and a hell of a fighter rest in peace Olivia Newton John Heaven choir just got a whole lot sweeter.
John wanted Olivia to play Sandy and she didn't want to but he talked her into it. He said she was the only person that he would work with. She was 29 years old when she was in this movie and he was around 24 I think. Glad she said yes. Could not imagine this movie any differently.
Saturday night fever was his break out role. My mom took me to see SNF at 4 years old and I cried my eyes out when the credits rolled. I’m almost 50 now. Wow! This brings back a lot of fond memories Grease was a wonderful movie too
Saturday Night Fever was Travolta's first big movie break. He received an Academy Award nomination for his performance. You should react to that if you haven't seen it.
I saw this in the theater when it first came out... watching the two of you watching this was just THE BEST!!! You two are so classic! 🙌
Thanks so much poppy cock! ❤️🍿
@@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ 😊
That’s awesome!
I can't tell you how many times I have watched this movie! It came out in 1978 when I was 16. I was a huge Olivia fan before but this put her in the stratosphere for everyone. Grease is #26 out of 50 for highest grossing movie musical and #11 for highest grossing musical soundtrack. I was lucky enough to see her in concert four times and blessed to meet her twice. She was honestly one of the most genuine, kindest woman in show business. She never tired of speaking about her experience with cancer in the hopes of helping other people with their own struggles. She lent her name to the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre in Melbourne, Australia and donated tens of thousands through fundraisers. She will be forever missed. Oh and as a side note Jeff Conaway who played Kinickie was Olivia's brother-in-law in real life.
Cool, I didn't know that she and Jeff Conaway were in-laws.
Grease got its start as a local theater musical in Chicago before moving to Broadway in 1972 where it was a smash hit, becoming the longest running show (at the time). Some of the actors in the movie, like Jeff Conway and John Travolta were in the stage version. Travolta played the role of Doody in the national tour.
At the time Grease came out in the theaters in 1978, I was 9 years old and being raised in an abusive, dysfunctional household. As a result, I turned towards watching LOTS of TV and went to the movies as a way of providing myself with escape and comfort from my misery.
Back then I was going to the movies with my then best friend. We were a couple of fanatics about the movies. We talked, read, ate, drank, and slept the movies. And we went to the movies together once a week, every week for a lot of years from the 1970s-1980s. We saw literally hundreds upon hundreds of movies over the years.
We tried to see every new movie that came out regardless of plot, genre (he loved horror films, I preferred comedy), critics reviews, who was starring in it, etc. So there was no particular reason we went to see Grease. It just happened to be a new movie that was just released.
As much as I loved the moviegoing experience in itself, you wouldnt think a movie musical such as Grease would appeal to a 9 year old boy. But being an abused, neglected child, Grease managed to hit me in the very right places at the very right time. Right from my very first viewing, it quickly became one of my all time favorite movies and remains that to this day. After seeing the movie, later on I would buy the Grease soundrack record album, the Grease bubble gum trading cards, and the Grease fotonovel.
In the following years, whenever Grease popped up on tv, I'd drop everything to watch it. Today I own the movie on DVD.
So, I say to the cast and crew of Grease, from the bottom of the heart of a young, abused boy, thank you. Thank you all so very, very much
1st July 1978 I turned 8 years old.....my parents gave me the day off school and asked me what I wanted to do that day for my birthday....I said I wanted to go to the movie theatre to watch this....so they dropped me off (on my own) with $5.....which was plenty of money back then and I watched this movie and absolutely loved it !!
John was already a star when he made this and he not only talked the bosses into choosing Olivia he talked Olivia into excepting the role cause she was nervous that at 29 playing a teen. Also Danny’s buddy Keneikie was also in the show Taxi
Taxi had some serious talent.
Accepting* :)
Before they made the movie of Grease, Jeff Conaway, who played Kenickie, played Danny Zuko in the Broadway version for a couple years. They gave the role to John Travolta for the movie because he was a big star. That had to suck for Jeff. But he took it pretty well.
And I think that Kenickie sang lead on Greased Lightning in the Broadway show. Jeff Conaway got short-changed both ways! But at least he got to be in a big movie. And he was great in Taxi.
Actually she was 28 when making the movie and 29 when the movie came out.
Travolta's reaction at 30:38 and the fact that she doesn't even notice is one of my favorite moments in movies.
Grease was my very first album that I bought with my own money back in 79. So glad you finally got to see it.
This movie is so bittersweet for me now (since Olivia has passed…😢). I’m an older gal, so you all can imagine how many times I have seen it! It never gets “old” for me. Hope you all enjoy it!! Love watching with you two; big hugs always! ❤️❤️ Kenickie is my favorite!!
I love Kenickie as well. Even more I liked Jeff Conaway on Taxi. He was so good looking!
@@ajruther67 Totally!!👍👍
We loved it!! Thank ❤️❤️
This movie came out when my mom was in High School (she just finished her Junior Year) and it's one of her favs, so I grew up with this movie. Heck first time I remember seeing it was when my aunt showed it to me on VHS when I was like 6 or 7. All the adult humor went right over my head. I didn't even understand the 'pregnancy' part hahaha.
@@Zodia195 Oh my, Zodia! Your mother and I are the same age! Too cool! Yes, it does have a lot of “innuendo”, lol… I think I read that the Stage version is a lot “raunchier”…It’s such a great movie~👍
“Keep your filthy paws off my silky drawers!” Rizzo will always be the one I identify with the most!!🥰My girl!
There are worse things you could do.
Her song was always my favorite too.
@@johnmoreland6089 If I wasn’t married you’d have my heart forever!! 😁😘
RIP Olivia Newton John...
The worlds going to miss you
When I was a little girl (1978) my Mom used to work at the movie theater... and since she didn't have enough for daycare she would bring me with her.... so I saw Grease in the theater over and over until I could say every line and sing every song note for note.... and now I'm 49 and I can't imagine a time when I didn't know this movie inside and out. Thanks for checking this out and I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
Asia, I'm laughing SOO hard right now at you saying "IS SANDY RIGHT THERE???" when they started driving up on the side wall at thunder road. I've watched this movie hundreds of times since I was a young girl and not once did I think they were going to drive over Sandy with their cars. I cannot stop laughing at that!!! You're hilarious!! 🤣🤣🤣
In fairness you could have only thought that the first time l
@@gunman462 You're right. I thought that afterwards. But it still made me lmao. Quite a different ending to the movie Grease. 😳😂
This was one of my mom’s favorite movies. She saw it in the theater about 10 times when it came out…and she said that at the beginning, when they show up at school the first day, and John travolta turns around and looks at the camera, every girl in the theater sighed really loudly and fell in love with him and his blue eyes instantly 🥰😍
Definitely recommend Saturday Night Fever so you can see more of his dance moves 🕺🏻
My daddy rebuilt and restored classic cars. His favorite beauty was his Maroon 1949 Mercury Coupe. This along with American Graffiti was one of his favorites! I LOVE GREASE 2! I even played and danced Hand Jiving at my wedding🤣
Love the band Sha Na Na! Johnny Contardo (Band member) singing "Those Magic Changes" is said and (I agree) to be one of the best versions of all time. It is pure MAGIC!!
The movie that made Olivia the global megastar she was, is & always will be ✊️🤩♥️. Long may she rest in peace 🌅✌️😔🌅. I was just 10 years old when this was first released.
You need to Watch Saturday Night Fever. Then you’ll see John Dance!!
@@koreendebellis2980 … Oh hell yeah, that is a classic in itself & if memory serves me correctly, it was released a year or 2 before Grease??? (1977 I think, with Grease released in 1978).
This certainly added to her fame, but Olivia was already those things. What a great pairing!
@@maineman9447 … This was back in ‘78 & I was just 10 at the time & had seen Olivia in tv talent shows but Grease didn’t just elevate her to a new level of fame… It broke the sound barrier & the speed of light & won her a multitude of many new fans around the world. You’re 100% right on the pairing… If they had cast anyone other than Olivia & John in the lead roles, I doubt it would’ve been the success it was.
@@gerardroll6468 yes you were 10, I was 19. Olivia had been a huge star for years. I was into harder rock, but how can anyone deny singers like Olivia Newton-John and Karen Carpenter? No argument here, just different experiences due to different ages.
Touching seeing you two getting down to this. My parents were these two characters in real life sort of. The Italian greaser from the wrong side of the tracks and the blond princess from a nice neighborhood getting together and ending up having a love and life that's lasted until today. Now they're both in separate skilled nursing facilities, dealing with various ailments, unable to see each other. And the long, wonderful story is coming to it's end. Mom and dad took my sister and I to see this back in the day. I teared up a lot watching you both dig on this. Thanks. Fun reaction!
I turn 30 tomorrow and grew up with this film and the 2 on vhs. This is the first time I've ever shed a tear while watching. RIP Olivia Newton-John
She was a real sweet heart
I saw this in 1978 when it came out (10) and still will sing along with every song today...
Everything Olivia did I loved, she was a beautiful kind woman and will be tremendously missed
RIP OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN
Even Xanadu? - the movie that's the reason the Razzies exist... (It has some bits I like, but overall it is a train wreck of a movie.)
I've watched so many Grease reactions since Livvie passed & yours is by far the best, Asia & BJ!
You understood each moment and each character's thinking in those moments really well.
I had a great time watching this.
Wow, thanks so much Jacinta! We really appreciate your kind words ❤️❤️
I saw this movie as a kid, bought the soundtrack, and fell in love with Olivia. If you want to see Travolta dance some more, he really became famous with a breakout performance in "Saturday Night Fever."
I can't believe you both have made it this far in life without seeing Grease!
RIP, Olivia Newton John. 1948-2022.
John Travolta's breakthrough as an actor was a TV show called "Welcome Back, Kotter" -- but he became a HUGE star when he appeared as the lead in the movie "Saturday Night Fever," which came out a couple of years before "Grease." You two definitely have to react to "Saturday Night Fever."
“Grease is the word, is the word, is the word…” man that’s banging! 🔥
How did I miss this reaction???
Asia's face during "Hopelessly Devoted to You" was so sweet. 😊
I'm so glad BJ liked the music and how he picked up on the internal feelings of the characters.
Love y'all! ❤
I was sad to hear of Olivia's passing last week but watching this again with you two tonight was the first time I cried for her 😢 💔 This movie, and Olivia was such a part of my childhood. My Mom had some of her solo albums and I had the double LP soundtrack to this movie and friends and I spent hours reenacting the movie and singing every song. I was 7 years old when this came out and again... I cry for Olivia and, of course all that has gone now from my life from those carefree days. I'm so glad you enjoyed this classic!
John Travolta started in a TV Sitcom titled "Welcome Back, Kotter" in 1975. There he was 'noticed.' Then the big break came with Saturday Night Fever in 1977 where he shows his dancing skills. Here he shows his dancing and singing skills. You can look at clips from the sitcom here in UA-cam... search "Vinnie Barbarino"
Back in the day I saw this movie no less than 7 times lol Released in 1978 but set in the 50's, I just loved it! Jeff Conoway (Kenicki) was married to Olivia's sister Rona for 5 years. The waitress in the cafe watching the dance in the gym on TV who said "There's Danny and Sandy" was John Travolta's sister. Olivia and John remained close friends right up to the present day. Even after all these years it's still a great movie, but you can't help feeling sad at the loss of Olivia only a few weeks ago - RIP Olivia 💔
This has always been one of my favorite movies. My cousins and I would do scenes from the movie to entertain people lol. We knew all the songs and dances. I love a good soundtrack and this is the best. I listen to it on vinyl often.
Seeing this and hearing Olivia’s voice brought me to tears. RIP Olivia Newton John
Grease did a good job depicting the teen-Rock 'n' Roll-culture of the late '50s and early '60s.
Greasers, no?
Not really, it was based on a play and was definitely over the top. The setting did take me back though.
@@viacrucis2509 yeah - they used hyperbole because it's a musical and the exaggerations make it funny. But the stuff that they exaggerated still came from real things. They even referenced the popular belief, at the time, that mixing aspirin and Coke made people drunk (e.g. Marty says to Rizzo in the restroom at the drive-in, "I caught Vince Fontaine trying put two aspirin in my Coke at the dance"). Not even "American Graffiti" nailed that one.
The look on BJ's face when they were singing about the "pussy wagon", had me cracking up. And BJ's face when Sandy came out dressed like a greaser was even better. She was sooooo stunning. ONJ was breath taking back in the day AND actually ALL the time. You need to check out "Saturday Night Fever" Travolta's dancing and the sound track are epic. It came out in 1977, which was his first big lead in a movie.
I saw this movie a dozen times in the 99¢ theater the summer it was released. I was about 12. Still know every word. Thanks for your reaction, it was a joy to relive my own first time vicariously through y’all.
Thank you guys for reviewing this movie, actually one of my all time favorites!! I was 14 when it first came out in June 13, 1978!! I truly loved the way you guys reacted to it from beginning to end, the way you you let your feelings and understanding show through just like it was back then when my generation was coming out of its shell. Lol
Thanks, I shall now subscribe to this channel! ❤
Hey, Thanks yankeeed! Appreciate your sweet comment and sub 💯
There were a lot of references to Sandra Dee. Sandra Dee was an American actress that really came to the scene when she was in her teenage years in the 50s She played very wholesome characters including Gidget. I have to admit that watching the ending this time really hit hard as Olivia flew off into the clouds waving goodbye. Has a little bit more meeting these days
Just wait till Travolta dies
Am I the only who thinks this was a horrible ending/moral of the story? She literally just folds to the peer pressure, turns smoker and more promiscuous like the rest all to fit in. This basic story has been done over and over but this ending is usually the mid point, but then they realize how foolish changing for others to fit in is and you get the whole revert back to themselves, the whole love you for who you are moral of the story.
@@coreyrees840 “More promiscuous“? How so?
@@6li8storm40 well because she was literally the stereotypical goodie two shoes character which the girls literally made fun of at the sleepover, then the ending in which I’m speaking of, she decides to ditch her own style for a skin tight cat suit, changes up how she talks and her facial expressions etc to act more like Riz and the others, and all of a sudden a Danny’s willingness to clean up his BS and be HIS true self, he reverts back to his hormones the minute he sees the new specialized Sandy. This isn’t that “omg she’s a slit because look what she’s wearing” lol but I’m pretty sure you get my point in regards to the overall point and moral of the story and how it’s not exactly how you’d expect it to go lol
@@coreyrees840 A lot of people see it the way you do. I did when I was younger, but have changed my view in it as I’ve gotten older.
But, I was specifically addressing “more promiscuous”. Promiscuous has an actual meaning and nothing about Sandy fits it.
I teared up watching this and seeing Olivia. So many nostalgic memories watching this in high school with my friends. Thanks for doing this ❤️
Our pleasure, we loved it too! Thanks for your great/sweet comment! ❤️❤️
There's a sound track alright. I wore that thing out and drove my mother crazy playing it all the time. lol Yes, such a fun movie. I read that Olivia wasn't sure if she was the best person for the role and was nervous to dance with John, but he encouraged her and made her feel comfortable about it. Yes, the man can dance. As others are saying, please check out the movie "Saturday Night Fever" for more of his great dancing. He actually got an Academy Award nomination for the role and then you get the amazing SNF soundtrack where the Bee Gees wrote and performed all those classic disco songs. Loved your reaction!
Loved watching the expressions of joy on Asia's face. Could tell she loved it.
STILL sing these songs with my besties from HS whenever we’re together!!😂
Yes! Y’all got it! 1950’s setting. Made in 1978; one year before another classic that you all watched… “Alien”😉! If you want to see more of JT dancing, watch “Saturday Night Fever”. Pure disco. Made in 1977~~that was JT’s big breakout.
And “Grease” is why we love ONJ more than ever…😘😘
GREAT reactions!!👍👍👏👏
My dads favorite movie. I love you dad, rest in peace.
I'm 54 yrs old and have seen this movie countless times. Watching your reactions made me remember the 1st time I watched it. The fun you had watching and getting into the songs made my day. Thanks for bringing me back to how much fun this movie is. Hope you watch Grease 2 sometime.
Man if you don't know how obsessed my cousins and I were about this movie! It was just ridiculous.... We enacted every single thing. And grease is the word ,is still one of my favorite songs. T-Birds forever.. LoL
The movie was released in June 1978. It took place in the late 50s. This was John's second big starring movie. He was hot off the phenomenal success of " Saturday Night Fever" , which would be another great movie to react to. The song YOU"RE THE ONE THAT I WANT , was released before the film, and had hit number one, a week or so before the film was released. The hype and anticipation was very intense and the movie lived up to it big time once it was released. After this film ,I think you can see why we all loved Olivia so much, she was beautiful inside and out and super talented.
Old time stars were triple threats singing dancing acting. Travolta such a talent
The movie came out in 1978. The song “You’re the One That I Want” is the number one duet song of all time to date. The soundtrack is available and it is awesome! They just said that they were going to re-release the movie in theaters here shortly and all proceeds goes to Olivia’s Wellness Center for Cancer in Australia
For the record, I absolutely hate musicals. But I LOVE 'Grease'. I saw it for the first time in high school and countless times since. So many good memories!
It came out in 1978, but was based of the 50s. At the time Sandy (Olivia was 29), Danny (John Travolta was 23) even tho their characters are supposed to be about 17 or 18. The actress who played Rizo the one who thought she was pregnant, her real name Stockard Channing was actually 33 at the time of filming. I was 2 years old when this movie came out, so really didn't pay attention till I was older in the 80s when I came on TV. 😎👌📽️🍿
R.I.P Olivia Newton John.✝️.
You should check out John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever or Staying Alive, both good, both have great music.😎👌📽️🍿 Oh yes there is a soundtrack to Grease, how I know cause I have it, from grease one & 2. 👌
@Emma Howells, I never took stock of the actress that plays Rizzo...but she is kinda visually older than everyone else casted to play a High Schooler. I never knew of the age difference between Travolta and ONJ too.
Not really surprised ONJ was that old, but why would you cast a 33 year.old for a role that a) brought no star power and b) didn't require being a singer? There were thousands of women who would have taken that role, A number with equal acting chops
@@mikeshoe74 Yeah i didn't notice til in was older & realised either. Yeah 6 years difference, but looking at them you'd think John was older.
@@Demigord Sorry don't agree about Stockard' s star power, she was cast cause she was the best one for the character Rizo, plus she has been in several movies & tv series, she was in the movie practical magic with Sandra Bullock & Nicole kidman. And she can sing, just cause you don't think so doesn't mean she cant.
Actually she was 28 and he was 22 when making the movie and 29 and 23 when the movie made it to the theaters.
Travolta dancing.... ah- see Saturday Night Fever!!!!!! That and Grease- back to back huge hits and Travolta was a dancing machine.
The two of you reacting to
Imo one of the greatest musicals ever was bank. Happy to see you back and doing well.
Great reaction! There was a whiff of 1950's nostalgia during the 1970's. There is nostalgia for the 1970's now, but back then there was a lot bad news. The Vietnam War was the first war the US lost, Opec wasn't selling our huge cars gas, Nixon impeached, record inflation and the movies were downtrodden, bleak and gritty (such as Taxi Driver). It was a BUMMER decade. People had had enough bad news, so escape movies such as Star Wars and Grease were a breath of fresh air.
The pants in the last scene were literally sewn on to Olivia! Apparently they kept the outfit a secret from the rest of the cast, so the reactions you saw from the boys were genuine.
RIP beautiful Olivia ❤️
WELCOME Back Kotter was a big tv show John was in in 1975
Asia I just love your reactions! "Hit him with the pom pom" I almost fell out. Ya'll make my day every time I watch!
came out in 1978 I believe? I remember, I was OBSESSED and yes, there was/is a soundtrack which I've still got and LOVE. They made such great films then. RIP gorgeous Olivia !
OMG, I cannot wait for this! This movie is my tween years. I saw it countless times.
We loved it! ❤️❤️
Grease was filmed in the summer of 1977 (Elvis died in August 1977) and released in June of 1978. Obviously the actors were much older than the parts that they played. Stockard Channing (Rizzo) was the oldest at 33. Travolta was 23, Olivia Newton-John turned 29 during filming. Lorenzo Lamas (the jock that Sandy goes with for a short while) at 19 and Eddie Deezen (Eugene) at 20 were the ones closest to high school age, LOL.
Never recognised Lorenzo there.
Elvis died the day they filmed the “Elvis, Elvis, let me be” scene
Best way to explain it: When this movie came out (78') it was a nostalgic look for my Generation, Gen X, at our parents Generation from the 50's. It was very similar to what you guys do, Asia and and BJ, with your UA-cam channels and looking back at prior generations, like your parents generations. This movie was the same thing for my generation, before there was a UA-cam. BTW a similar movie I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that did the same thing is "American Graffiti". RIP Olivia 😞
This is my ALL TIME favorite movie. The talent alone in this film is just incredible. I LOVED watching y’all enjoying this movie. It’s a classic, feel good and so much fun. Watching this after Olivia Newton- John’s passing. Brought tears to my eyes. Loved her so much. John Travolta got his celebrity status from the tv show Welcome Back Kotter. Grease and Saturday Night Fever came out close together. Y’all need to watch that next. You haven’t seen Travolta dance till you watch that movie. He won’t disappoint promise.
Asia smiling all movie long says a lot
This was absolutely delightful! I saw this film when it came out when I was eight years old and I made my mother take me back to see it SIX more times! In fact, "You're the One that I Want" was the first single record I bought with my own money (allowance from mowing the lawn, lol). Olivia Newton-John was so important in my life, and over these many years remained one of the truly beautiful and bright spots in an otherwise rather lonely childhood. Her passing has been very hard, so what a gift this was to experience her and this film through your eyes--thank you so very much! 💕 (if you can enable gifts on your videos, I'd love to "buy" you the Grease soundtrack! ;)
There is definitely a soundtrack. When I was little I had it on vinyl and it was a double album!
I was blessed to see one of her last concerts. And DEE DEE CONN ( FRENCHIE) made a guest appearance. It was AMAZING.
R.I.P. OLIVIA
