Short description

The adventures of two amiably aimless metal-head friends, Wayne and Garth. From Wayne's basement, the pair broadcast a talk-show called "Wayne's World" on local public access television. The show comes to the attention of a sleazy network executive who wants to produce a big-budget version of "Wayne's World"—and he also wants Wayne's girlfriend, a rock singer named Cassandra. Wayne and Garth have to battle the executive not only to save their show, but also Cassandra.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Thanks to its use of the 1975 composition "Bohemian Rhapsody," the film contributed to a revival of interest in the work of Queen in the United States. In the 1980s, Queen's popularity in the US fell so low that the band didn't even perform there as part of their last two world tours with Freddie Mercury (1946-1991). These were tours supporting the albums "The Works" and "A Kind of Magic" in 1984 and 1986, respectively. "Wayne's World" brought "Bohemian Rhapsody" to 2nd place in the American charts, although upon its initial release, the song did not rise above 9th place. Mercury himself did not live to see the song return to the charts, but, according to Brian May, he gave permission for its use in the film, as he had seen a fragment of the film featuring it, which Mike Myers had sent him before his death.
  • Alice Cooper arrived on set fully believing he was only going to sing and have just one line of dialogue. He was very surprised when he was given an entire monologue that he had to learn in a very short time.
