I won’t go into praising the movie. It’s already an American Classic and obviously anyone who’s contemplating buying this will already admire it. I felt guilty about double-dipping but the cute leather jacket was an irresistable gimmick. The following discusses mainly technical aspects of the original disc.

I did a one-to-one comparison with the older disc. The relate has been cleaned up and looks noticeably different, though not necessarily better. The limited dirt specks and film nicks, few as they were on the first disc, have been almost entirely eliminated. There is less grain. The recount also looks brighter, due to application of higher incompatibility. This has both clear and negative effects. In the darker scenes; like ONJ’s “Hopelessly Devoted to You,” the greater dissimilarity (deeper unlit levels and brighter highlights) makes it appear clearer, and I personally consume it this blueprint. Some viewers may not like it as the lighting now appears harder and more “artificial”. In other places, the greater dissimilarity tends to wipe out detail in the brighter parts of the picture; you can discover this at the opening beach sequence, where the scene now appears brighter and clearer but the finer detail in the sandstone rocks have been obliterated in the glare. So pluses and minuses, but overall I liked the recent transfer.
The audio too has been remastered. The bass here is noticeably more prominent than on the previous DVD. It has that very satisfying visceral feel to it but there is also swamping of the underlying instrumentation. However I doubt if many people would sight or bother. What reviewers have referred to as an echoey quality on the first remix is calm there. It is actually an over exaggerated reverb added to the vocal track. Most of the tracks in Grease have electronic reverb applied but some are more sure and artifical than others; especially so in the 1998 remix featured here. The most egregious examples would be at the “Glimpse at Me, I’m Sandra Dee” reprise and Travolta’s “Electrifyin’” repeats in “You’re The One That I Want.” Again I liked the newer, audio remix, mainly for its richer bass extension. Like previous reviewers have said, the 2.0 Stereo featured here is not the unique theatrical Stereo mix but a downmix of the later DD 5.1 remix (made in 1998 for its 20th Anniversary re-release) . And purists should notice that the DD 5.1 remix (1998) is actually messing about with the music itself – there are additional instrumental and vocal overlays not found on the fresh theatrical soundtrack. (Eg. additional bass drum in second half of “Summer Nights,” background vocals in “Hopelessly Devoted to You,” and a clap-track in “We Go Together.”) Perhaps someday the producers will inspect fit to release Grease with its current unembellished soundtrack.

The accurate delight here are the Extras. My favourite is the 15-minute long “25th Anniversary DVD Start Party.” Exerpts from the party concert include paunchy length versions of Olivia Newton John singing “Hopelessly Devoted to You,” Olivia and John Travolta singing “You’re The One That I Want,” and the reassembled cast singing “Summer Nights.” All gorgeous performances packed with fun-filled nostalgia. The 11 deleted/extended scenes are all in B&W and last for unbiased 10 minutes. Nothing earth-shattering here but qualified to have all the same. The Sing-Along was something I appreciated. In the previous DVD, there was no content access to individual songs. A notice about the Sing-Along subtitles. These are multicoloured, appealing, karaoke-style, lyrics that accompany the songs and can be activated within the film or in a separate Sing-Along session. It apparently caused problems for some viewers. I tried it out on several DVD players, a Sony, a Pioneer and a Denon, one of which was over 5 years musty. The lyrics displayed without any quandary. It also worked on a computer DVD-ROM drive (Pioneer), so at least these models apparently work. Only the main feature is anamorphic (enhanced for widescreen TV – 2.35:1 OAR) . All the extras are in standard 1.33:1 fullscreen.
As far as film musicals are concerned, nothing comes conclude to “Grease” in terms of provocative to a mass audience of all ages, races, and generations. Though plot in the fifties, “Grease” remains deeply entrenched in the seventies, as it defined that freewheeling decade’s carefree attitude and innocence while drawing inspiration from the Elvis era. Unexcited the top-grossing movie musical of all time, “Grease” works as a coming-of-age film we can all recount to – it sings (large songs from the Broadway classic plus chart-topping classics from the Bee Gees and Olivia Newton-John’s longtime collaborator, John Farrar), it dances (Rydel High’s Gym Dance), zips (”the chicks’ll cream for Greased Lightning”) and celebrates youth and friendship.

Twenty five years after its first theatrical release, the movie detached feels and sounds novel even through its nostalgia, thanks to star-making performances from Travolta, Newton-John and Stockard Channing, to its clever wordplay and its irreverent sight at high school – when everything and anything is possible. It’s a movie that gets better with show viewings, as audiences associate seeing it with a singular moment in time. Cameo appearances from golden greats like Frankie Avalon (”Beauty School Dropout”), Sid Ceasar and Edd Byrnes are silly gems.
The now-world-famous cast is hard to beat … Didi Conn and Stockard Channing are obedient as Frenchy (THE beauty school dud) and Rizzo (the tough girl with a soft status), while Eve Arden (Our Miss Brooks) gets the supporting role of a lifetime. Dody Goodman as her daffy assistant is a hoot, but the film belongs to the music and the performances of its two principles. Olivia Newton-John is a sublime choice for Sandy. Though requiring re-tooling from the unique stage point to, her character’s Aussie born lass is a perfect combination of girl-next-door sweetness and (later on) I-Am-Woman-hear-me-roar guts. Perhaps no transformation has been so effectively chop in a movie as ONJ’s expedient girl gone wild. Besides setting off fashion trends and the lycra industry, Sandy’s evolution reminds today’s teens that you can be hip AND nice. That’s a testament to the singer-actress’ presence in this film and her ongoing myth. Travolta is also sublime as Danny, a mix of cocky stagger and silly-boy charm that’s never malicious…unbiased young. His Danny plays both sides of the teen-angst fence, whether telling his version of “Summer Nights” to the boys, or sweetly professing his cherish for “Sandy” at the drive-in (drive-ins are situation for a comeback if this DVD finds itself into everyone’s home!) After 25 years and countless viewings, Olivia and Travolta effect comely music together!
Guaranteed a winner in any home, “Grease” gets better with expose viewings and remains accessible, fun and marvelous. As a backdrop for baby boomers’ high school years and our memories of all thats happened since…”Grease” remains the word! Thrilled to have this out on DVD!!!
