Author Topic: GREASE reel 6 to 7 changeover position... John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-28-2016 10:16 PM                     Heya I'm doing a re-cut of GREASE with the audio off an original 1981 laser disc and adding cues for authenticity ( ). While I can remember exactly the first 5 changeover spots, for whatever reason my memory is a little hazy on 6 to 7 and there is some doubt. I have it happening at the end of Look At Me reprise as she runs off with Frenchie and ends on a mid shot of Danny (c/o) then start of 7 is a shot of Eve Arden in the school office. Is that right?  |  IP: Logged Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 10-01-2016 03:52 PM                     It's been many years since I ran the original release back in the 70's. I can't say I remember the 'out' on reel 6, but the shot of Eve Arden you mention right after the C/O seems to jog some old memory cells, and that's sorta what I can recall too. (remember, at the end of R6, I was looking for 'dots', not what's going on elsewhere on screen. I have better memories of "incoming" reels, since I'm checking for focus, even arc-light & cat-hair in the gate after the reel changes)  |  IP: Logged Peter Foyster Expert Film Handler Posts: 102 From: ROLEYSTONE WESTERN AUSTRALIA Registered: Aug 2016 posted 10-01-2016 10:57 PM                     Hi John I have a print somewhere. If you don't get a definitive answer by tonight I shall drag it out and have a look at those two reels. Hopefully, someone else will have given you the answer by then.  |  IP: Logged Peter Foyster Expert Film Handler Posts: 102 From: ROLEYSTONE WESTERN AUSTRALIA Registered: Aug 2016 posted 10-05-2016 12:00 AM                     Reel 6 ends with a white car (Greased Lightning?) and a bunch of people standing around it in the dry waterway (culvert?). It then cuts to a long shot of the wall of the waterway with what appears to be someone standing half way up the slope. The final cue marks then appear. Reel 7 starts with a shot of a black car with five guys standing around it and one guy sitting in the drivers seat. I hope this is enough to identify where to put the cue marks. If you need further info let me know.

Does anyone know of a website that has documented where the changeovers are in various films over the years? I kind of miss them when I go to the movies these days. Very geekish I know.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 10-18-2016 04:52 PM                     Thanks Peter. That's perfect. A little earlier than what I thought...but now I do recall it. Is your print an original by any chance or the '98 re-issue? Many thanks to all yet again.  |  IP: Logged Peter Foyster Expert Film Handler Posts: 102 From: ROLEYSTONE WESTERN AUSTRALIA Registered: Aug 2016 posted 10-18-2016 08:59 PM                     John It is stamped SRD so I would think it was a reprint.  |  IP: Logged
