16 Reasons "Grease 2" Is Better Than The Original

The most under-appreciated sequel in movie history is actually amazing.

1. There are motorbikes instead of cars.

Paramount Pictures

Cool riders are so much better than greased lightnings.

2. The Pink Ladies Pledge.

Paramount Pictures

"The Pink Ladies Pledge: to act cool, to look cool and to be cool. 'Til death do us part - think pink!"

3. Choreographed basketball dancing.

Paramount Pictures

Decades before Zac Efron ever tried it in High School Musical.

4. Feminist progress.
