Wayne's World was one of those films that shouldnât have been so commercially successful (it grossed $121 million, the highest of 1992), or become so deeply rooted in pop culture that some of us can still recite lines from it, while not actually realizing weâre doing so (âThatâs what she saidââyeah, I know itâs a one-liner way older than Wayneâs World, but they brought it back into the public consciousness), or make Mike Meyers into a romantic male lead, albeit briefly (remember So I Married an Axe Murderer?). Also, Wayneâs World will forever get credit for introducing me to âFoxy Ladyâ (I was 12 and not well-versed in Jimi Hendrix), âDream Weaverâ (yacht rock at its best), and âBohemian Rhapsodyâ (the group sing-along scene in the car is one of my favorite things everâI still crack up about Dixie cup barf dude). In sum, itâs a â90s-era comedy classic that isnât award-worthy, but is pretty righteous.
This evening is your last chance to peep it on the big screen, at Central Cinema ... until it pops up again one day, because people love this shit. Some of my favorite clips below.
