    Storyline

    • 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.

    Cult Classic!
    As a middle-aged lover of world and art-house cinema, the lovably goofy Waynes World might seem an odd one for me to like and enjoy.

    I've never owned it myself but as it's just been on Channel 4, I thought I'd see it once again, to see how it still fares. Though it's far from being my favourite movie of all time, it still hits the targets its designed to and manages to smell sweet when compared to the more recent torrent of comparative sewage that is hailed as gross-out 'comedy'.

    Oddly, perhaps, it's impossible to dislike or find the two (Mike Myers and Dana Carvey) super-geeks annoying. The film is bright and breezy and rolls along like a continual Friday night out and the rock music references, including the famous Bohemian Rhapsody sung in their tiny car, always welcome.

    The dream women in their lives are indeed good-looking girls and their portrayal are a fair balance between teenage male hormonal fantasy and real people with substance and character.

    Considering Waynes World is supposed to be a Cult Movie, I'm surprised how few reviews there are here, on Amazon. Whether new audiences will ever warm to WW is a different matter altogether but for of us who's seen it come, go and now hang around, it still offers many pleasures.
