I mean, i didn't think the first was the greatest either but it was good. However this movie was just so boring, the scenes were dragging on and it was always the same with Wayne & Garth. Their jokes were getting more cruder and stupid, it just disappointed me.I think it would've been better if Wayne's World didn't have a sequel at all because this movie is just rubbish. I don't find anything funny but the only thing that was funny, when they were dancing to 'YMCA' accidentally. The rest is awful. They shouldn't have added in Christopher Walken even if he is a legend, this film didn't really suit him. Its just disappointing, I would just leave at the first movie, thats all!
... View More"Wayne's World 2" came out a year after 1992's "Wayne's World" with Mike Myers as Wayne Campbell and Dana Carvey as Garth Algar, who run a silly cable show rooted in rock/metal culture. In this sequel, Wayne receives word in a vision from none-other-than Jim Morrison to put on a concert in Aurora, Illinois. He dubs it Waynestock. If he "builds it" will they come? I saw this film before the first one in a motel with my wife circa 1994-95 and, by the end, I was crying I was laughing so hard. The scene that put me over the edge was when a certain classic actor appears as a gas station attendant.Memorable moments abound: The encounter with the albino-eyed city official, Wayne's martial arts fight with Cassandra's father, Wayne's visions with Morrison and the half-naked Indian, and many more.The original film is actually a let-down compared to this one. Don't get me wrong, it's a solid comedy and consistently amusing if you're in the mood for goofy humor rooted in 70s-90s rock/metal, but there are a number of flat areas. This sequel flows better and is way funnier. It helps if you're up on the rock/metal scene and cinema though, otherwise you won't get half the jokes.I gauge comedies by how funny they are (naturally), as well as how compelling, and "Wayne's World 2" delivers exceptionally on both fronts. It's one of my all-time favorite comedies along with "Coming to America" and the original "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective." The film runs 95 minutes and was shot in Chicago and Southern California.GRADE: A
... View MoreAlthough there is a plot this time (a rock concert, an antagonist, ..), a star to play the bad guy (Christopher Walken), more guest stars and another director (Stephen Surjik) but I think that the first clueless, originally weak, comedy was better than this (I've never thought that I would say that Wayne's World 1 is better than anything !).Here I wondered about so many scenes; is it a parody of something? Is it a joke that I didn't catch on clearly ? For instance after the closing credits there is a scene where the "Indian" cries after seeing all the garbage on the concert grounds and garbage being thrown from a car, which lands at his feet. Well, the trivia section tells us that this mimics a public service announcement featuring Iron Eyes Cody which premiered in 1971. So, as you see the jokes this time need a guide or a dictionary to be understood!There is nearly no real comic situation. Just things like the pointless conversation between (Myers) and the extremely HOT young (Drew Barrymore). Or jokes like the one about the employee's strange eye. All what you'd have is matters such as wearing like The Village People then meeting accidentally in a gay bar which's so fabricated. Or parodies with no creativity or whatsoever like Thelma & Louise's one. Or unfinished story lines like the Double Indemnity's spoof with Kim Basinger. It's weird the way this movie deals with its material, refusing to make any complete comedy out of it.Scene like the one in which (Walken) doesn't understand Myers's joking about the Leprechaun, or others with (Myers) talking to us about hitting the puberty lately, or a perfectly innate and naive adolescent stuff like saying SCHAAWING when seeing any sexy girl; they simply tell about the leads' childish silly kind of jest. Although it's an attractive special point apart, but to tell you the truth it wasn't that special this time with nothing to support either.It didn't work altogether. What I sensed isn't a heavy self-confidence, or a desire to reuse the jokes of the first very successful hit. I only sensed misunderstanding towards the world of movies. As a matter of fact this movie is so pale and so lame TV sketch after another (while the first was just pale and lame TV sketch after another!). Plus another problem which's the size of the parodies that they put. I mean the plot, which's thin, became too thin with many buffoonery concerning : The rock singers, TV commercials, TV series, Kung-Fu flicks and cinema classics like (The Graduate – 1967). It's not another parody of so many movies like (Hot Shots! Part Deux), (National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1) or even one movie (Robin Hood: Men in Tights) "all produced in the same year by the way". It's trivial mishmash of toying related only to its makers, making - only them - the ones to laugh !, being close to the leads' channel in the movie; something few ones receive and enjoy.Among an atmosphere as desperately half-good-joke-every-minute as this, you've got to be sad with the fact that this movie got big names that should've made it better. Stars like (Walken, Basinger, Locklear and Chris Farley) the movie uses them to do nothing at all! Then the pretty and comic (Carrere) is totally literally wasted this time. And finally comedian like (Dana Carvey) with this persona which he presents, as an aspect and performance, was nothing but a genuine turn-off !The Wayne's World could've been Myers's early world to expose the game of cinema and make fun of it. Moments like seeing the workers who transport glass, chickens and watermelon vaguely in the street then understanding afterwards why they were here could've been an original moment to mock at the fakeness of the cinematic car chases. Or sneering at Paramount when it cuts the budget, sending 2 doubles to England instead of the 2 leads. All of those simple lovely ideas represent, primitively and immaturely, what Myers will pull off later in the Austin Powers movies with more unity, concentration and sure prosperity.All in all it was little movie about crazy characters (that we didn't watch their craziness) making unfunny jokes and too many swift, mostly dated, spoofs to end up as a movie that every now and then says something tries to move your mouth to smile then fails miserably.I only loved 3 things : the stunning red dress of Tia Carrere; when she was setting with Jay Leno (short, tight, and there is Tia Carrere in it !). The black leather shorts of (Kim Basinger) which she wore at one scene. And the amazingly unexpected appearance of one of Hollywood legends (Charlton Heston) in a very tiny role; yet the thing is this movie didn't utilize him appropriately, as it did all the way with all its cast, to say or do something comic, serious or memorable anyway.
... View MoreThis film is similar to the first part, but there is much more good stuff in it. Today I've watched two other Mike Myers's films - So I Married an Axe Murderer and Wayne's world and I compared both of them with Austin Powers series, but Austin Powers was much better than these two films. Now this film is really as good as Austin Powers. There were much more spoof on films and other jokes typical to Mike Myers films. More stars appeared in this part, especially musicians. I didn't expect this movie to be that good, because it has lower rating on IMDb than the first part has, but it's really better. Rarely the sequel is better than the original, but it happens.
