A musical about teens in love in the 50's! It's California, 1959 and greaser Danny Zuko and Australian Sandy Olsson are in love.

Danny's the leader of the T-Birds, a group of black-jacket greasers while Sandy hangs with the Pink Ladies, a group of pink-wearing girls led by Rizzo.

Goofs:
Continuity
In the diner scene, Vai turns off the lights with her elbow, despite missing the switch by six inches.

Continuity
As Rizzo being escorted into the dance hall by the leader of the Scorpions, he removes his sunglasses in the scene whereas in the next shot, we see him remove them again.

Continuity
In the drag race after the white Ford jumps the hood pops open, the grille falls out of place, and the trunk opens up, but in the next shot the only damage is a crooked bumper.

Revealing Mistakes
Marty's kneepad exposed when sliding at the end of the big dance sequence.

Revealing Mistakes
In "Greased Lightning" when the motor is dropped in the car and the fan is spinning, a string can be seen for a second making the fan spin.
Trivia:
To the fact Rizzo's hickeys were real, Stockard Channing said this in an interview that Jeff Conaway insisted on applying them himself.

"You're the One That I Want" actually took just one afternoon to film.

This movie was considered as the third highest-grossing movie of all time behind only Jaws (1975) and Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977).

Henry Winkler, who became a sensation as "Fonzie" on Happy Days (1974), was also considered for the role of Danny Zuko. However, he turned down the role for fear of being typecast.
