Grease 2 (1982)

Check out the all-new GREASE 2 page at SET-JETTER.COM
















Oh how I loved Grease 2, not as much as the original Grease (click the link for those locations), but it was my dream to have a sequel like this!   I have been to some of these locations several times and have don various blog entries, but thought it would best to put them all in one, so here we go.  (Check out grease2.net for more info on the movie!)

First up is the school.  Instead of returning to Venice, they production used a school down in Norwalk, California.   The front of the school remains virtually the same.   The shots below are taken from a few different visits....

The bowling alley (actually an ice rink) is long gone, but here are some old Google street-view shots of it before it was bulldozed....

The diner in the film is Cadillac Jacks, use only for filming nowadays.  It is right next to the Pink Motel, also used in a lot of films, including Drive.   These shots are taken from several different visits....
