Maxwell Caulfield on Grease 2 Bombing Before Becoming a Cult Classic | toofab

[@3912James]

Screw the critics....I'll always have a soft spot for Grease 2.

[@BunnyLa]

I'm 40 and I loved this movie when I was kid. I still watch it all the time now! Maxwell was such a dreamy man! 😍

[@NYRyder1983]

You're the same age as the movie.

[@aaronvaldes3104]

Yup, I enjoyed this film.

[@avsfan73]

I so loved Michael. And I just loved this movie I know it was panned but so loved it even now😊

[@xtraflo]

I still watch in regularly too and I'm 46!

[@BunnyLa]

@xtraflo Such a great film. Your comment just reminded me to watch it again tonight!

[@BigHush]

"Cool Rider" is a jam.

[@CrimsonThorns]

I have Grease 2 on vhs, dvd, blu ray...and if it gets a 4K release, I will buy it. I love the film and the songs. Maxwell Cauldfield and Michelle Pfeiffer were great. "Cool Rider" and "Charades" great songs.

[@seabassseabass8835]

I'm one of the few who think part 2 was way better than part 1... Reproduction ..Make my stamen go berserk.

[@Blaqphnix]

"It's Michael!" "It's Michael!" "you made that jump?!" "Shakespeare!" I can literally quote this entire movie in my sleep! Thanks for this interview. ❤

[@Dimi374]

Me too!! “ We’re going to die and I’m wearing my mother’s underwear!” 😂😂😂❤❤

[@TheOnlyOneStanding8079]

😂😂😂that's right . Remember "Let's do it for our country the red ,white and the blue"..

[@en6278]

The storyline was very clever for Grease 2. Randy couldnt direct again cause he was making Blue lagoon. To switch up the gender roles. Have an English shy guy. It was really a great idea for a sequel cause they couldnt have the old cast back when they had graduated High school already. Plus the actors were already old in the first Grease film so its was pushing it 4-5 years later still being students! It captured the same atmosphere as the first film.

[@3912James]

It took me until recently to realize they reversed the Danny and Sandy roles for Grease 2.

[@katorahpaige]

I love this man! This has been my favorite movie since I was a little girl! I had a HUGE crush on Maxwell, he was gorgeous and still is! Such a class act! He was fantastic in the movie and no one else could of played his role except for him! ❤️

[@topflightstyle4141]

They say Tom Cruise was supposed to play Johnny Nogerelli and Andy Gibb was supposed to play Micheal. He did a good job.I liked Grease 2. His character was interesting because he blew their minds and was mysterious. It made me want to be the same way.

[@michellestreater3296]

Me to I love grease 2 and still have a crush on him plus Michelle Awsome 2

[@ChrisRoth1972]

I could listen to Maxwell Caulfield talk for hours.I am surprised he was never cast as James Bond.

[@ChrisRoth1972]

Maxwell Caulfield was in a movie I saw recently called The Boys Next Door.The movie was released in 1985 I believe.Maxwell knocked the movie out of the park.Highly recommend!

[@shiloyork7455]

Agreed. The Boys Next Door is dope.

[@PMB827]

I’m 31 years old here and I have been obsessed with grease 2 since I was about 7 or 8 years old

[@Ryan-wf6ib]

You can hear the frustration, which I get.. it would be one thing if it flopped if the movie sucked, but it was actually a great movie. And that flop obviously had massive implications on his career.

[@en6278]

well he got Dynasty & The Colbys a few years later. which was a huge TV show at the time in 1986. Though it was season 6 so was on the decline. But he was acting alongside Charlton heston & Barbra stanwyck on the Colbys.

[@Mark-vg4gl]

I'm 31 didn't watch it till later in life I'm definitely a cult fan 🤣❤️

[@alydematti]

Maxwell was so wonderful as Michael Carrington, both he and Grease 2 deserved better! I'm glad that over time more and more people have warmed to Grease 2. I've loved it for so long and it will always be one of my favorite movies of all time! 💕

[@Youttubi]

Grease 2 is one of my all-time favorite movies as well.

[@helenperez9828]

I think he came out in a really creepy movie I saw in 90s. It was him n Charlie sheen! Called “Boys next door”

[@elizabethmccary741]

I love Grease & Grease 2!

[@texastea5686]

I'm 46 and LOVED it when it came out. I'm actually watching it at this moment on Pluto TV. As an adult, I see how cheesy it is, but it's such an endearing film, it has a special place in my heart. I was so in love with "Micheal" ❤

[@Youttubi]

Grease 1 was also cheesy.

[@en6278]

Grease 2 was great fun but timing is everything in showbiz. Even with John & Olivia I think it would have flopped(their film the Two of us flopped which was kind of a sequel cause they couldnt still be in high school for grease 2)). Lightning struck with Grease success it was all the stars aligning. It had the perfect ingredients with 2 big lead stars, the chemistry, the music, the classic storyline. It was gonna be impossibe to recreate that. Its sad Michelle has never really embraced Grease 2 or showed up for reunions. Im sure she had fun making it so those ind of memories are important not just how it did at the box office. Its a life experience.

[@johndean4727]

Did they have a reunion.Michelle and Maxwell were gorgeous and they really accomplished something.

[@en6278]

@@johndean4727 the grease 2 plot was kinda genius. They reversed the roles where the girl was the bad girl & the boy was the naive foreigner. Theyd all graduated in Grease so they couldnt have the same cast besides Frenchy. But the 80s were not as cheesy as the 70s so they left it a bit too long to follow up. Its like they missed the connecting flight.

[@yuljohnson6838]

Grease 2 is a classic, i liked it instantly when i first seen it back in the day. This movie has always been a part,a major part of my childhood!! A great sequel,i agree with Maxwell in this interview. I never understood the flack this movie got. I love the character Johnny,he's my favorite character in the movie!!! Very entertaining movie that is a perfect followup to the first one!!!

[@Dimi374]

Are you kidding?!!! I loved this movie the first 20 times I saw it at the DRIVE-IN 1982 in my Pontiac Sunbird!! Charades was my favorite song as well as Cool Rider and of course Reproduction!! I could not understand why it bombed!!! I loved it and still do!!!❤❤❤ Maxwell Caufield will always have my heart!❤

[@stephaniedanieley1312]

On our wedding day, my husband & I danced to "We'll be Together" as our last song. It was a DREAM. I have loved this movie since I was a child. ❤

[@tiffanydelacruz3748]

My VCR ate my Grease 2 tape... that's how much my sister's and I watched it... was not a bomb overall at all

[@keithmartin1328]

Same with my late wife. She loved the film and had it on VHS as well. It was the first Grease film that I watched with her back in 2003.

[@tommyd1953]

Grease 2 supremacy!!!!

[@richholligan3846]

I have loved this movie since it came out! ❤️ Great movie and fun to watch. Maxwell was my childhood crush 🥰. I knew then I was gay...just took me a while to accept it. Thank you ❤️ the 80's was a great decade!

[@Youttubi]

You have great taste. Maxwell was gorgeous. And you are right. This is a great movie and the 80s was a great decade.

[@philipcohen7192]

Maxwell Was the bomb in empire records!

[@marcydavis3493]

I always loved Grease 2 :-) almost as much (maybe a little more) than the original. The soundtrack was definitely my favorite.

The T-Birds was hilarious in Grease 2.

My favourite movie for sure!!!!

[@Catherineann413]

I think because the first movie had John Travolta & Olivia Newton John & are both huge huge stars, They were a hard act to follow. I enjoyed Grease 2, but my very favorite is still the first GREASE❤️😊

[@smallfry7743]

Fancy

[@RockFan89]

I like this movie better than part 1. I didnt see this movie til 86. My parents were familiar with the older actors and knew of Maxwell from The Colbys. Interesting his characters name was Carrington in this movie, and that last name was prominent in Dynasty which The Colbys was a spinoff of. 🤣

[@mikey6538]

hmmm.. he didn't age well..

[@vincentlewis1297]

Guilty of this pleasure

[@garybeltrand5802]

Always thought this guy was cool, but didn't see him in much after Grease 2. I liked "The Boys Next Door", although he played a very different role - opposite of Michael from Grease 2. The original Grease was a movie I enjoyed when I happened to see it, but Grease 2 was the one I'd go out of my way to watch over and over though. Just a perfect fun 80s movie, and "Charades" was the best song.

[@danielhennequin7753]

I think he could have had a more successful career if internet existed in the 80s

[@rolandopazesquivel9324]

Grease 2 Hoy Cumple 40 años de su estreno en los Cines

[@NYRyder1983]

Maxwell sounds like he lost his English accent.

[@en6278]

no he sounds very English to me. Im amazed he sounds that English still. Though his long term wife is English also so that helps.

[@bobfin]

My 2 favs. Of his 'Boys next door' and 'Mind Games'.

[@EditorBreakdown]

The Boys Next Door (1985) is a RAW MASTERPIECE

[@lisamalcolm6916]

Love Grease 2❤️❤️

[@bluethunder7391]

Grease 2 is superhero movie.

[@shiftstart]

This movie came out 2 years too late. It was rushed and multiple changes were made to the script. Also at that time, they felt Mr. Shakespeare soft spoke and sensitive character was out of touch with the mentality of that time.

[@CIF369]

I love Grease 2, more than the first. Never understood the hate.

[@Youttubi]

I don't understand the hate either. This is a great movie. Just so fun and feel good. How could that promote hate?

[@Chris_L034]

it wouldve been tough to compete with arnold schwarzenegger, sylvester stallone, chuck norris to name a few.

[@505bazza]

Should've asked about his motorbike 🏍 in Grease 2

[@JWalkers050]

He lost a lot of hair since then and he didn’t even have a receding hairline either. I don’t know if I’m more shocked over that or his wife is almost 80 years old. Some of these old women want boy toys for spouses.

[@nivekenoob]

I don’t know if I loved it more than Grease but I know I’ve seen it more than Grease. Definitely love both movies

[@bpxl53yewz29]

I hadn’t seen him in years and saw him recently in a Hallmark movie. I thought he was Tom Wopat

Amazing that hes still seems so happy despite it all. He's right that a lot of things are marketing and perspective of the general public. I like that he still seems the same as he was in Grease.

[@wotsitjimbob2271]

Really hated this film. Managed to force myself to watch it once…. Never again. Saw Grease in the cinema when it was released and loved it ever since. Must have watched it 100 times, adore Olivia Newton John and John Travolta. Would have loved to have seen a Grease 2 but the same characters 10 or 20 years on. Not sure why this one was called Grease 2 🤨
