Wayne's World
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
Wayne and Garth's hobbies included playing Hockey in the street, hanging out at Stan Mikita's doughnut shop, and catching hot local bands at "Gas Works," a hard rock club in Aurora. A possible explanation of the naming of the coffee shop Stan Mikita's is found under the section for Tim Hortons.
The movie was filled with pop culture references and started a few of their own. Catch phrases like "Not!" "Excellent!" aided the slacker lingo of Generation X as Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure did in 1989. Its multiple endings and the use of the camera as a character have been noted in film studies. The opening sequence to Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" propelled the song to #2 in Billboard singles charts nearly 20 years after it's first release.
Wayne's World received mostly positive reviews upon release and was commercially successful (an oddity for a Saturday Night Live film). It was followed by Wayne's World 2.
Wayne's World was written by Mike Myers. His only other screenwriting credits are for his Austin Powers films.
