Fans of the movie 'Grease 2' have spotted a very explicit wardrobe malfunction in a scene from the 1982 movie, leaving viewers scratching their heads as to how it made its way into the final film.

The much criticised Grease 2 starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Maxwell Caulfield has become a cult classic after bombing at the box office in the early eighties.

After the runaway success of Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta as Sandy and Danny in the original Grease, it's not surprising that a sequel would face a lot of criticism.

Yet one eagle-eyed fan has spotted a very – shall we say 'ballsy' – wardrobe malfunction in one scene from Grease 2 that has seemingly slipped anyone's notice for almost 40 years.

In the clip from the school running track – where twin cheerleaders are running to catch up with Maxwell Caulfield's character – it seems one of the extras has forgotten to wear underwear.

The youngster can be seen on the left of the screen energetically jumping a set of hurdles when parts of his anatomy break free for the world to see.

The extra then quickly tried to rectify the situation by pulling down his shorts and seemingly never told the directors of his X-rated moment.
