'''''Wayne's World''''' is a [[1992 in film|1992]] [[comedy film]] starring [[Mike Myers (actor)|Mike Myers]] and [[Dana Carvey]] as Wayne and Garth, hosts of a [[cable]] access [[television]] show from [[Aurora, Illinois]]. The movie was adapted from a popular [[skit]] of the same name on [[NBC]]'s ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''. The film grossed $121.6 million dollars in its theatrical run, placing it as the 8th highest grossing film of [[1992]] and easily the highest grossing movie ever based on a ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' skit. It was directed by [[Penelope Spheeris]] and also featured [[Rob Lowe]] and [[Tia Carrere]]. |
|||
Wayne and Garth's hobbies included playing [[street hockey]], hanging out at [[Stan Mikita]]'s doughnut shop (likely a sly [[in-joke]] on [[Tim Hortons]] by [[Canadian]] Myers), avoiding psycho hose beasts, and catching hot local bands at "Gas Works", a hard rock club in Aurora. (Gas Works was also a Canadian [[in-joke]]; it was the name of a real [[Toronto, Ontario|Toronto]] live music nightclub in the late [[1970s]] and early [[1980s]] which primarily booked hard rock bands.) |
|||
The movie was filled with pop culture references and also started a few. Catch phrases like "[[Scott Ian|Not!]]" and "Excellent!" aided the slacker lingo of [[Generation X]] as ''[[Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure]]'' did in [[1989 in film|1989]]. Its [[multiple endings]], antiplot (the ridicule of common plot techniques), and the use of the camera as a character have been noted in film studies. The use of [[Queen (band)|Queen]]'s "[[Bohemian Rhapsody]]" in the film propelled the song to #2 in [[Billboard singles charts]] nearly 20 years after its first release. |
|||
The soundtrack album reached number one in the [[Billboard magazine|Billboard]] album charts. |
|||
Cameos include [[Brian Doyle-Murray]], [[Robert Patrick]] (spoofing his own role in ''[[Terminator 2: Judgement Day]]''), [[Ed O'Neill]], [[Chris Farley]] (his first film role), [[Meat Loaf]], [[Lara Flynn Boyle]], and [[Alice Cooper]]. |
|||
''Wayne's World'' received mostly positive reviews upon release and was commercially successful (unlike many ''Saturday Night Live''-based films). It was followed by ''[[Wayne's World 2]]''. |
|||
''Wayne's World'' was co-written by Mike Myers. His only other screen co-writing credits are for his ''[[Austin Powers]]'' films. |
|||
In [[2000]], readers of ''[[Total Film]]'' magazine voted ''Wayne's World'' the 41st greatest comedy film of all time. |
|||
The success of the film and its sequel led a street in [[Draper, Utah]] to be named "Wayne's World Drive." Draper is approximately 20 minutes south of [[Salt Lake City]]. |
|||
A "Wayne's World" theme park attraction was built and featured at the [[Paramount]]-owned theme park [[Paramount's Kings Dominion|King's Dominion]]. |
