Here's What Grand Theft Auto 2 Would Look Like In Real Life
The original Grand Theft Auto games left a lot to be desired in terms of visual interest and storyline, especially when compared to GTA 3 and beyond, but they did have one thing going for them- a unique, police chopper style view of the action.
This aerial perspective made the characters look like well-armed bugs running around an urban environment trying not to get busted as they boosted cars and mowed down the competition.
YouTuber votja paul decided to recreate those high GTA 2 feels with a drone camera, an HUD overlay and some careful shot planning. I guess this video proves playing Grand Theft Auto actually does make people want to act out scenes from the game in real life! (Video contains NSFW language)

There was even a Grease Party with so many people attending... Chevy Chase, Andy Gibb (Bee Gees brother), Leif Garrett, Penny Marshall, Robert Stigwood, Frankie Valli (who sung the Grease theme), and of course Olivia, Travolta, Did Conn, Jeff Conway... gosh it was something! I took my small 35mm camera with me and snuck a few pictures here and there, but it was so crowded that it was hard taking any pictures at all!
The movie premiere was also the opening event for the organization "FILMEX". Filmex was (it is no longer around) The Los Angeles Film Exposition, kind of like the what the Cannes Film Festival is today. I remember that they even had to add a second premiere showing to accommodate the festivals members
I also remember the following week, when Grease was released to theatres, the lines were huge! I went to see the movie dozens of time at the Village Theatre in Westwood, CA. This was THE place to see movies when they came out. Located right next door to UCLA, and very close to Bel Air and Beverly Hills, you would always see premiers being held around town and quite often see celebrities eating dinner or seeing a show. I specifically remember one time, coming out of seeing Grease for the ump-teen-th time, and passing Barry Pearl, Kelly Ward and Michael Tucci (The three T-Birds) in the lobby as they were going in to see the movie themselves that they were in.
Eddie makes mention that he had such a small role in the movie, but ANY role in Grease is a HUGE role to me and everyone who has seen it!!! (By the way, in the DVD release that has extras, there a scene of Eddie that was cut - so you can see more of him!). I would have given my right arm to have been able to be in Eddie's shoes and have been a part of the movie's history!
Oh... P.S. Another little known fact... Susan Buckner who played Rydel's homecoming queen, was originally considered for the part of Sandy also, but it went to Olivia Newton-John and Susan took the role of Patty Simcox.
I have often said that I think enough time has passed since the disappointing release of Grease 2 and that they should consider making a follow-up.... except this time, Eddie's character Eugene, should now be Rydell High's principal !
