    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Alice Cooper came to the set under the impression that he would be performing musically for the film, with one line. Upon arrival, he was surprised to be handed an entire monologue to memorize and shoot with a small amount of time to do so. However, Cooper is known to be a history buff outside of his music career.
    • Goofs
      Rob Lowe's character is listed as "Benjamin Oliver" in the credits, but when he first meets Wayne and Garth, he introduces himself as "Benjamin Cain." This was a deliberate joke by the crew - a crew member's child had a friend named Oliver Benjamin.
    • Quotes

      Wayne Campbell: So, do you come to Milwaukee often?

      Alice Cooper: Well, I'm a regular visitor here, but Milwaukee has certainly had its share of visitors. The French missionaries and explorers were coming here as early as the late 1600s to trade with the Native Americans.

      Pete: In fact, isn't "Milwaukee" an Indian name?

      Alice Cooper: Yes, Pete, it is. Actually, it's pronounced "mill-e-wah-que" which is Algonquin for "the good land."

      Wayne Campbell: I was not aware of that.

    • Crazy credits
      A brownie recipe is given in the credits.
    • Alternate versions
      When the movie premiered on Kiwi television in 1995, "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen is briefly heard in the scene which Benjamin and Russell discuss with Noah Vanderhoff about sponsoring Wayne's World which Vanderhoff accepts when Benjamin convinces him by suggesting that he has a regular guest spot on the show.

    Good clean nineties fun
    I've always found Mike Myers to be something of an acquired taste and struggle to warm to his work. Wayne's World is the one exception, and surely the highlight of his career. The film is fairly novel in its design and has a lot of very witty moments. Dana Carvey is arguably the star of the show, playing the uniquely amusing Garth to perfection. Tia Carrere and Rob Lowe round out a pretty strong cast with decent, if slightly cheesy, performances.

    I would agree that the film has aged a lot since its release, but it serves as a cultural reference point and will remain a very nostalgic and enjoyable viewing experience for people of a certain age. The subversive takes on mainstream films become a bit tiresome and the love triangle story is a little corny but this is not a film that needs analysing in great detail. A fun movie, with its own unique vibe and styling.
