Zuko loved James Dean

You may not have noticed that at the beginning of the movie, Danny Zuko is wearing a windbreaker over his classic white t-shirt. This is no coincidence and the outfit was actually paying homage to the late actor James Dean.

In his famous movie Rebel Without A Cause, Dean is seen wearing a windbreaker, so this is where the tribute came from in Grease. Ironically, Grease also contains a drag race and tragically, James Dean ended up dying from his love of fast driving.
