* SmokingIsEdgy: Played with. As in the play, the Greasers and Pink Ladies all smoke, and Sandy, the clean-cut 50s girl, doesn't handle her first cigarette well. Sandy infamously shows up in the final scene as a true Pink Lady, smoking a cigarette, but can also be seen taking cues from the other Pink Ladies on what to do with it, showing she is still learning to be edgy.

* AdaptationalAlternateEnding: A slight one for Danny. In the original stage version, he quits the track team and goes back to his old hoodlum ways after Sandy dumps him at the drive-in, so Sandy's transformation is all that brings them together in the end. In the movie, he succeeds in track and earns a letterman's sweater, which he shows up wearing at the same time Sandy shows up in her greaser outfit. Subsequent stage productions have made this change too, since it makes the ending more balanced by having both Sandy ''and'' Danny change for each other.
