Storyline

Wayne is still living at home. He has a world class collection of name tags from jobs he's tried, but he does have his own public access TV show. A local station decides to hire him and his sidekick, Garth, to do their show professionally and Wayne & Garth find that it is no longer the same. Wayne falls for a bass guitarist and uses his and Garth's Video contacts to help her career along, knowing that Ben Oliver, the sleazy advertising guy who is ruining their show will probably take her away from him if they fail.

Trivia

The scene with Wayne and Garth talking on the hood of their car was the last scene filmed. Since everyone was tired and just wanted the movie done, they ad-libbed it.

Goofs

When Crucial Taunt are playing in Cassandra's apartment as Wayne and Garth head to Milwaukee, there is no echo on the audio. However, when the band stop playing, there is a very clear echo when Cassandra and Benjamin talk and even on the rustling of the papers in her hands so there would certainly be a noticeable echo when the band played.

User Reviews

Filled with Many Very Quotable Lines,

Wayne's World is a brilliant movie with a well written storyline that is filled with one laugh out loud scene after another and a great comedic cast.Mike Myers clearly loved playing this character that he created as a series of sketches on Saturday Night Live,and it shows as he delivers a ton of ridiculous but hilarious lines with such enjoyment.I also really love the movies constant use of breaking the fourth wall,it only happens with Wayne and Garth,where they both know their in a movie,and I find it hilarious,especially the scene towards the end where they keep changing the ending.Waynes World is a short but sweet comedy filled with so many memorable scenes and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good comedy.

Two best friends become a huge deal when a TV show they film in their basement gets a deal with a real television studio,but it myth not be as great as they think.

Best Performance: Mike Myers
