In the opening credits, when numerous images flash by during the cartoonish theme song of Grease, you’ll see a Thunderbird badge from a Ford motor vehicle flash by on the screen for about one second. What else could it mean? Notice the Thunderbird badge in the Opening Credits of Greaseĭo you think the black leather jacket-wearing T-Birds were secretly known as the Thunder Birds? If so, then here is another strong association with thunder. We have a penny dropping to the ground like a thunderbolt from the hand of Zeus, a thunderbolt symbol, and one sore head. If the penny drops, it means you suddenly understand something. Put two and two together for yourself. Hopefully, the penny has dropped for everyone now. Zeus’ divine act achieved the desired outcome, which led to Danny Zuko (John Travolta) becoming the race car driver. This statement confirms the half God/half-mortal theory because half is one of two equal parts that together make a whole. Obviously, there was only one Zuko, not two. This divine act is seen when the car door with the symbolic thunderbolt running through it suddenly opened and hit Kenickie in the head, which inevitably forced him to pull out of the car race.Īfter being knocked out, dazed Kineckie tells Danny Zuko that he can see two of him. To make it happen, Zeus struck Kenickie in the head with a thunderbolt as he crouched down to pick up a penny for good luck. Zeus, king of the Gods, obviously wanted Danny Zuko, his demigod son, to be in the car race instead of Kenickie (Jeff Conaway). Thunderbolts are clearly the main weapon of Zeus, God of the Sky.

The true meaning of the movie Grease is actually given away when Danny Zuko gets to drive the Greased Lightning car in the drag race on Thunder Road. This is the reason why only half of his last name sounds like Zeus. Remember, Zeus has had many affairs with humans, and the offspring of a God and a human is a demigod, which means that Danny Zuko is half God, half-mortal. Yes, Zuko is the son of the top Olympian God. Zeus and Zuko start off sounding the same because Zuko is the son of Zeus. Who has their last name starting with Z anyway? Ok, I did think of Titanic star Billy Zane pretty much straight away, but that’s beside the point. Zeus and Zuko both sound similar at the beginning when pronouncing both their names because Zuko is a demigod. It goes back even further than that, by bringing to mind the Hellenic Golden Age, which I’ll try and prove to you. This is like going back in time to a different era. Even though Grease was filmed in 1978, the movie was actually set back in 1958/59. The movie is titled ‘Grease’ because it parallels classical Greece. Right now, you might be thinking, “Hell no, Grease can’t have anything to do with the Greek Gods.” Well, it does, and soon you’ll understand why. It may be worthwhile reading the above bold statement one more time. This statement pretty much sums up the movie Grease. High school gang leader Danny Zuko, a demigod, and son of Zeus transforms his girlfriend Sandy into an immortal Greek Goddess and brings her back to Mount Olympus in his flying chariot.
