You know what amazes me? At 4:40-4:45, while everyone is dancing in the middle, you see Vince Fontaine enter from the side by doing FRONT FLIP, landing on knee, and then catching the microphone, all done in one shot. I never noticed till know and it made me realize how talented this entire cast was. (Btw, Vince’s actor, Edd Byrnes, was 46 when this movie came out)
2:37 Cant get enough of Danny and Sandy coming in dancing along with the music. Olivia Newton John looks like shes just having a blast dancing with John Travolta as well.
@@KatharineDalton-xv5ud That time stamp you provided shows only the end of the video, and I see two entirely unrelated suggestions for follow-up videos...
I cannot stop being disappointed that their dance together is interrupted, even though it is a logical part of the story :) That's the sign of a good book or film to me, when you can't get over such things because you liked the characters so much!
The movie JT starred in before this was Saturday Night Fever, where he was taught those dance moves for that film by Denny Terrio. When this movie came out, it was no surprise that smashed the dance moves here in his next film. I was in high school when both films were released.
@@tracyb64are you serious?! That’s so weird because I could read that as a kid. I always thought he would have been a better Danny. He had the vibe. I had no idea!
Olivia may not have been the greatest dancer ever, but she looked so adorable and happy while dancing 😍 I still can't believe she's gone. She'll live forever in our hearts 💙
@aliendroneservices6621 it was still one hell of a take. Everyone dancing towards the end of the song, then VV doing his flip, then the mic thrower throwing the mic to VV, then VV catching the mic. Who knows how many takes that took, assuming that it wasn't just one.
I thought the same thing. Edd Byrnes who played Vince Fontaine was 46 years old when he played that role! How the hell did he do that? What a mind-blowing walk-on performance. Only took me 46 years to notice too.
@LinkToLoreal The principal and the host should disqualify Cha Cha and Danny Zuko during their dancing. If i was in the movie I would rather be Vince Fontaine i will disqualify them and the winners are Sandy and Danny. I know it is only the movie but still i saw the Principal McGee she was confused and suspicions can't take another person's dance partner. Vince Fontaine should disqualify Cha Cha and Kenickie. Kenickie is selfish why he asks him to get rid of Sandy off the dance floor and leave her alone.
I'm here!😌only here to watch Putzie really 🤣 he was always my favorite character and I could relate to him haha and I always get him on “which character are you from Grease?” quizzes and sometimes though I get Sandy and I'm not even angry cause she's another favorite of mine
This scene is so JOYFUL! I love how even though it looks like pure chaos, I know that it was all carefully choreographed. Once John and Olivia comes out you can feel the electricity. I also love that you need to watch this scene in Widescreen because there's so many details happening all over. Truly Iconic!
If you're talking about Sonny barging in and grabbing Sandy, I believe so. They were obviously shooting for Danny and Cha-Cha to bring it home, being that in the original, Danny goes to the dance with Cha-Cha, not Sandy.
@@Sal_Sal27 Most of the group, except for Frenchy, didn't exactly approve of Sandy, thinking she was too pure for Danny. Marty did start to come around a bit during the slumber party, though. And even Rizzo started to think a bit better of her near the end.
Cha Cha wanted the trophy for herself and she knew she couldn't win it without Danny. That's why she had Sonny grab Sandy away and she jumped in before Danny even realized what happened.
This was filmed at my high school gym back in 1978.. Huntington park high school ca. And Ruco graduated at bell high school, bell CA. Just 4 miles from Huntington park high school. Rip Ruco and Chacha.
Travolta is flawless & Olivia was great & adorable but cha killed it. It's such a treat to see the only person that actually matches John in dancing. His dancing to stayin alive is the greatest but no partner to come close. Maybe b/c it's the classic moment where the other couple gets 2nd place & Tony realizes it & gives them the prize. If he had a better parter couldn't have that moment
lol! We sat through it 3 times in a row at the Capitol Theatre in Sacramento in 1978. After the third time, they came over and asked us to leave 😂 So I can relate…
I saw it 18 times during its run, mostly at the General Cinemas in Peabody and Saugus. I've never even come close to seeing a movie that many times since then.
If you pay attention to the background, at the extras. You'll see the jock almost get into a fight defending the Bad Seed at Rydell High. You'll see Frenchy, Jan and some of the girls look confused as to why Danny all of sudden is dancing with Cha Cha. Some of the taller dancers in the front get a bit wild with their dances. And when Cha Cha has her skirt up, one of the guys really goes in for a better look. The guy carrying Vi, the assistant to Principal McGee, almost suffocates under her dress while carrying her. The director told the cast and extras to come up with their own story. As long as it didn't interfere with the big story. That's why at the end, some of the extras with bigger parts with no dialogue were seen walking hand in hand with their yearbooks at the end.
Very insightful analysis. I enjoy the entire dance scene: Hound Dog, Rock n Rock Roll is here to stay, Those Magic Changes, and then Hand Jive. Sha Na Na were so awesome. Everybody was.
Quite literally one of the greatest choreographed movie scenes of all time!! It is great to see a lot of younger people appreciating this movie from almost 50 years ago! ❤
I just want y’all to recognize Vince Fontaine doing a full on FLIP to go into the cameras view and THEN catching the microphone! That was just amazing!
It's amazing how the choreography and the editing sequence of the music matches up so perfectly, even down to Danny and Sandy coming out of nowhere in the end to end quick Sax riff with Chacha on looking at them, up to no good. They nailed this. One of my favorite scenes
Olivia and John as well as ChaCha look like they were dancing on clouds. Their dancing was just so flawless and smooth you'd think they were sliding on glass...
To be fair the students themselves were being very pervy and causing all kinds of chaos. In the storyline the school was chosen to be featured on live television and the students took the opportunity to be completely debauched. 🤣🤣
Genuinely one of the greatest sequences in movie history. So much great stuff, Travolta is is beyond amazing here but the cherry on top of this delicious cake.... that Vince Fontaine kart wheel at the end. Great stuff!
I religiously watched this as a kid and thought Travolta as Zuko was so cool. It's not until you get older that you appreciate how much of an amazing dancer he actually is
I didn't have to get older to realize that. Before I ever knew who Michael Jackson was,I thought he was one of the best dancers on screen. Especially after watching Saturday Night Fever. When I watched Billie Jean for the first I knew someone else had taken over. As a kid in my country, there was always talk about who would win in a dance competition,John or Michael?
4:39 The best part of the video without a doubt, doing a somersault jump in the air and catching the microphone thrown at him without breaking his neck!! 😂
Man this scene always gets me!! ❤❤ I don’t care how wrong she was, CHA CHA killed that dance!! This was always my absolute favorite scene ❤ child hood memories 😊
@@lesh6172 this scene was filmed at Huntington Park High School small gym this film was in many different schools not just Rydell & my H.P. high school many more high schools were filmed as well so I'm NOT just sure I'm 100% Sure & Positive I KNOW PS: Get your facts straight
I loved me some Sandy growing up! And then getting older, I loved me some Cha-Cha! But of course when Sandy flipped script at the end of Grease and basically became Sandy and Cha-Cha in one, I found the ultimate dream LOL! The high school dance contest is definitely one of my favorite scenes in Grease. An instant classic.

I was crying when danny and sandy entered

Unironically one of the best staged sequences in cinema history. No notes. This is perfect.
Kenickie is pure chaos in this scene
We love him regardless
Omg yes he is
he's so fun to watch.
He absolutely kills me lmao
Rip kenickie was awesome in this film
I haven't watched this in years. Didn't realize how funny it was until now. Every moment is a different scene.
Olivia may not have been the greatest dancer ever, but she looked so adorable and happy while dancing 😍
I still can't believe she's gone. She'll live forever in our hearts 💙
i love her smiling while she dances, she sure is adorable
She more than made up for it with her voice.
She survived but lost which is unfair
Her smile is amazing
☺️they dance so well
Craterface and Rizzo were really getting down i love the energy they were feeling it
Right!!?? I LOVE their scene the most! 😂❤❤❤❤ her red and black dress was so Rizzo!!! 🔥
Dude yes lol it always cracks me up

That end is insane. Everyone is dancing hard. Then Vince Fontaine with the handspring and the mic snatch…
I thought the same thing.
Edd Byrnes who played Vince Fontaine was 46 years old when he played that role! How the hell did he do that?
What a mind-blowing walk-on performance. Only took me 46 years to notice too.
The music doesn’t get enough credit. It was a brilliant part of the storytelling in this scene. So much energy all around.
No doubt this track is just amazing. Sha na na!
This is so fucking lit. John had so much star power in the 70s. Movies just don't have this kind of passion any longer.
I like John Travolta and his movies 🎬 🎞
This Film Was Great On So Many Levels!
Filmed At Venice High School In Los Angeles,CA!
My favorite part of the movie it's so entertaining and I wish dancing was still like this. Olivia was just such a sweet soft perfect soul for this
They put their whole greasussy into this sequence! Every single cast member on point!
Let's hear it for the toilet paper! Lolll

Will always be my favorite part in this scene. It was so cool.

One of the best films from the 70s.
