10 Best Wrestling Matches In Non-Wrestling Movies
10. Danny Zuko Vs. Andy - Grease
Grease is a classic musical with some of the catchiest musical numbers of all time. It has also aged horribly watching it back today, with disturbing lyrics like "did she put up a fight" when talking about wooing an innocent Australian girl, said girl changing her entire appearance and demeanour to appease the one that she wants, and the cast clearly in their 30s pretending to be high school students.
During the film Danny, played famously by John Travolta, becomes jealous when his girl Sandy starts seeing a jock. The greaser wants to prove that he can go as well as the other guy by enrolling in extra gym classes, one of which is wrestling.
This scene starts hilariously when Danny's tough-guy swag immediately dissolves when his opponent Andy is shown to be a foot taller than him but takes to the mat anyway for an amateur grapple. Starting in the referee's position, the bout lasts all of 3 seconds when Danny is immediately pinned.
Spurred on by Coach Calhoun, Danny attempts a second round in the dominant position, and gets immediately pinned by Andy again. Defeated, he takes it like a true pro-wrestler; by cheap-shotting his much larger opponent and running away.
