The Grease prequel is one of the best movies ever made. It’s a fun, fast-paced, and entertaining movie that is a lot of fun to watch. So, if you like the original and love the sequels, this is a great movie to enjoy again. Agrease prequel is in the works right now with film company PictureStart to bring back the all things we loved about the original movie.
So, why do ‘Grease‘ spinoffs still remain popular today? I will try and give you the answers to your questions as well as give you some ideas on what spinoff is currently out there.
Most of the spinoffs to the ‘Grease’ movie franchise have come about because of a certain female character. There is an actress named Christina Milian, who played the main role of Stephanie Pierce, in the ‘Grease’ movies. She is one of the most iconic female characters from the ‘Grease’ movie franchise, and as such a spinoff was born.
In the original Grease opens on a very hot summer day in an old-fashioned diner in downtown Chicago. Some greasy-haired guys who have just come from a night of bar hopping and dancing are sitting in a booth having a drink while eating a sandwich.
As they talk to each other, the greasy-haired guys turn their attention to the waitress who is serving them. The waitress is named April Ludgate and she has been working at the diner for about a year. She is also the daughter of the owner of the restaurant who is named Randy Ludgate.
April and her friends get along well and all of her friends, except for April’s ex-boyfriend, Eric Stoltzfus, are the same guys that Eric used to date. April has started hanging out at the diner more often with Randy and they often have fun going there together. They spend some of their time hanging out in the pool area and have a few drinks.
The one guy’s friends that April has been hanging out with, however, do not always hang out with them. They seem to spend their time hanging around with April’s ex-boyfriend, Stan. Stan is a big jerk and has been bothering April for years. She knows that Stan does not really want to get back together with her, and she doesn’t want to push it any further than it has to be.
One day, as the movie begins, April finds out that Stan is dating a janitor’s closet. April decides to see what is going on in the janitor’s closet and she gets really upset because of it.
A large fire breaks out in the janitor’s closet, killing all the people inside it including Stan and April’s ex-boyfriend. April’s anger over the incident forces her to take the initiative and call the police. But, before they can do anything, Randy has the man, Janitor, arrested by the police. Randy, of course, was able to take the blame for the crime.
In the days that follow, April and her friends are getting ready to celebrate the fact that the Janitor is gone, and that April can now move on with her life without Stan hanging over her. However, Stan has other plans. He tells them that he will be spending some of his time working as a nanny at the diner so that they don’t have to worry about him. However, he still hangs out at the diner, waiting for April to come to the diner and he’s happy about the change.
The rest of the movie follows April and her friends trying to work out why Stan and Janitor have become such good friends. In the end, it turns out that Stan has been following a relationship counselor and she realizes that they might be able to save each other. Unfortunately, they can’t as April end up breaking up with Stan. Instead of breaking up with Randy, though, she decides that she wants to try to win Stan back because she has changed and he needs a better friend.
So, what happened with April in the last few minutes? Well, it turns out that Randy is being a jerk again and she ends up breaking up with him and Stan decides to run away from them all. The prequel ends after she’s dumped by him and is off on her own again.
Overall, the ending of the Grease Prequel is a little messy, but it still ends up being a satisfying ending. I especially enjoyed seeing April and her friends finally get along.
It’s possible that some of the spinoffs of ‘Grease’ films will end up on DVD. As of right now, it is unclear how long these spinoffs are going to be for, or what they will feature. They are definitely in the early stages.
