Wayne's World

The Queen song "Bohemian Rhapsody" nearly didn't make it into the film. Mike Myers desperately wanted it, but Paramount and film's producer, Lorne Michaels, opposed. Paramount didn't want the song because the rights were too expensive. While Lorne Michaels didn't want the song because he wanted something more current and that song was almost twenty years old at that point. He instead wanted Guns N' Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle". Myers threatened to quit the production if he didn't get what he wanted, and eventually they all agreed.

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.

A brownie recipe is given in the credits.

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.
