Trivia:

When Wayne and Garth are on the hood of the car watching airplanes fly over, Garth asks Wayne if he ever thought Bugs Bunny was attractive in women's clothing. Mike Myers' laugh after that comment was genuine, but he was laughing at something completely different Dana Carvey said off camera.

Goofs:

Errors in geography: When Wayne and Garth are sitting on their car watching planes pass overhead, there are mountains and a desert in the background. There are no mountains near Aurora.

Excellent!

Who knew that two complete grundge nerds could be so funny? Mike Myers and Dana Carvey were off the top crazy with this idea when they joined the cast of Saturday Night Live. Now many characters have been developed into a movie due to Saturday Night Live, and only the Blues Brothers made it into the classics category, but Wayne's World is up there with it. Not too many movies can do that. *cough*superstar*cough*. I couldn't stop laughing at this movie. It's sometimes stupid, but I liked it. I has fun cameos and best of all, two of the funniest comedians of the early 90's.

7/10
