Trivia:

Dana Carvey did not learn the lyrics to "Bohemian Rhapsody" prior to filming the scene where everyone is singing along to it, and was reportedly displeased with the take of that scene used in the film because he was obviously not singing, just moving his mouth in vague relation to the lyrics.

Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Crucial Taunt are playing in Cassandra's apartment as Wayne and Garth head to Milwaukee, there is no echo on the audio. However, when the band stop playing, there is a very clear echo when Cassandra and Benjamin talk and even on the rustling of the papers in her hands so there would certainly be a noticeable echo when the band played.

Quotes:

Elyse: It's really good seeing you, Benjamin. You haven't been into Shakey's for so long.
Benjamin: Well, I've been real busy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

Hilarious.

I saw Waynes world ten years ago and I still find it funny even now.It is about two airheads who run their own TV show and don't get anything for it..They are soon visited by a businessman who exploits them for the show.

Waynes world even after ten years I still find it funny.It spoofs so many things and it just makes me laugh.It also has a good storyline to play along with.I reccomend watching Waynes world and the sequel in one night to see what you think. You will enjoy it.I rate 4/5.
