And don’t forget the exchange (I forgot who says what):

“Eat your heart out”  
“Sloppy seconds ain’t my style”

Took me 20 years to get that. :o

I forget which number it is, but pay attention to the background when they’re doing the song in the drive-in theater, specifically to what’s being projected on the screen behind the singer. Not wholesome family entertainment at all.

You mean the dancing popcorn, hot dog, and sodas?

That is an actual intermission bit that was shown in drive-ins. They didn’t make that up for the film.

Grease was made back in the pre-PG-13/won’t someone think of the children? days. (god I miss those days)

The film Tommy, full of drugs,sex and rock and roll was rated PG. You really had to do something to get an R in the 70’s. Grease is on TV and edited so much that people think it is some sort of kiddie film, and truth be told, little kids don’t get those comments.  
Oh and I find ‘good’ Sandy much sexier than ‘bad’ Sandy. When I see her in the outfit she wears to watch the race, man, I just want to nail her. Bad Sandy, hummm, not so much.

Oh, I know. But the way they used the image of the hot dog slipping into the bun is just hilariously dirty.

I love the way the bun makes the ‘dog’ do a bunch of tricks befor she lets it jump inside.
