SummaryWayne's World! Wayne's World! Party Time! Excellent!
Content
What started off as a simple SNL opening sketch in the beginning of the 90's has become one of the greatest classic movies of all time. Mike Myers and Dana Carvey star as Wayne Campbell (Myers) and Garth Algar (Carvey) in both of these movies.

In the original "Wayne's World", Wayne is on a quest to make his television show bigger than ever, but the only things standing in his way are his new girfriend and his ex-girlfriend. This movie is a classic. Buy it now!!!

The second movie is just as funny. Now, Wayne and Garth have to create a show called Waynestock, but where are they going to get all the bands? With the help of the late Jim Morrison, they strive to achieve their goals. Wayne also finds out that his girl is cheating on him. (A glitch in this movie that makes it funnier is when the airplane flies, the line it's on is visible.)

Buy both movies. They are worth your money. The late, great Chris Farley also makes his very first cameo appearances in these movies as well.

SummaryParty on Wayne! Party on Garth!
Content
Wayne's World is one of my favorite movies as a kid and I first saw this movie when I was like 6 or 7 my uncle let me have the original Waynes World movie on VHS and from the first time I saw it I love this movie! Now to this day at age 17 I now have the both movies on DVD. I'm glad I bought both movies on DVD and I watch them whenever I have time too. Here's the scoop on the DVDs there is not enough special features but there are only doctumentary's on the movies and trailers. It would be cool if they added the "Bohieam Rhapesady" Music Video by Queen also the features its like a TV guide so you get some clips of Brady Bunch and other stuff in there from paramount pictures. I still own the VHS version of the movie but I like the DVD version of the movie better. So if you like to have fun and party this movie is for you! So what you waiting for? Buy this movie now before it runs out!

Wayne: Ex-squeese me? A baking poder?

SummaryRock & Roll Comedy Done Right!
Content
Leave it to Mike Meyers and Dana Carvey to break the curse of "Bad Saturday Night Live" related films, and even better, actually make a GOOD sequel!

The first "Waynes World" is a classic of goofy rock & roll centered comedy as Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar are given the opportunity to take their rock & roll babe-a-licious cable TV show to the big time. However, trouble is afoot when Benjamin intends to use the show to serve his selfish ends (steal Wayne's girlfriend, make big $$$). Wayne and Garth save the day though as Wayne stands up and fights for his principles and wins back his beloved Cassandra (with some help from Garth's technological wizardry) and returns to his cable TV roots. Lots of great spoofery takes place ("Mission Impossible" , TERMINATOR and the "Grey Pupon" ads of yore etc) as well as a particularly hilarious scene involving Alice Cooper's discourse about the history of local Indian tribes in Milwaukee WI.

WW 2 finds our heroes a year older and SLIGHTLY wiser, as well as living in their own warehouse loft. Here, Wayne attempts to find his calling in life, and through a series of visions involving Jim Morrison, some weird naked Indian and Sammy Davis Jr. (?????!!!!), Wayne, against CONSIDERABLE odds puts on his first big concert event, WAYNESTOCK. Along the way, a greedy, exploitive record producer AGAIN conspires to steal Wayne's girlfriend and make big $$$$. Wayne again goes to battle for his principles and his beloved Cassandra. The hilarity mounts as once again, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, THE GRADUATE, FATAL ATTRACTION, The 1966 BATMAN TV show, Bruce Lee movies, Kenny G, The Village People, Virgin Air and others are mercilessly satirized. With a little help from a grizzled veteran roadie (who keeps telling the same Ozzy Osborne/David Crosby story), Wayne saves the day and learns some valuable life lessons.

All told, great fun for those of us who still have a bit of the 'ol rocker left in us!

SummaryIt's Excellent!
Content
Wayne says it best. This film is by far the greatest comedy ever told. It has drama, suspense, laughter, and cheese. The films are golden and it really outshines anything Mike Myers does, even till today.

With rock and roll, the good stuff, taking a big chunk of the film, we follow the life of Wayne and Garth, Wayne primarily, as he goes from bringing his television show to fame, to starting a concert...in Aurora. Everyone wants to stay in Aurora, the City of Lights. But not the antagonists Rob Lowe and Christopher Walken, who, respectively try to bring the beloved Cassandra(Wayne's love interest), away from. With a story clouded in laughs and roars, you really can't fail.

Watching this now, it never really feels dated, and in fact, would love to see a third film. It'd be great to buy the Wayne's World trilogy and I think the time would be fine, still. Either way, and now awake from the dream world I was in, I recommend this DVD set. It's a must buy, it's not like mopping up soak suds and lung butter, it's like buying a totally, amazing, excellent discovery.

Dare you say, not?

SummaryExcellent! It had to be mine. Oh yes. It had to be mine.
Content
This is totally amazingly eccellent! A boxed set of both of the Wayne's World movies. What more could someone who enjoyed the movies wish for?

Who doesn't know the story of Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers) and his trustworthy sidekick Garth Algar (Dana Carvey)? As hosts of their very own local tv show, they're highly popular with the youngsters and the girls (though neither of them has much experience on that topic).

In the first movie, they're approached by Benjamin, a sleazy TV executive (Rob Lowe), who is intent on exploiting the show "Wayne's World" to make a quick buck. Wayne is forced to deal with various issues, including being fired from his own show, losing his girlfriend Cassandra (The gorgeous Kia Terrere), and losing his best friend Garth. Will he and his group of friends manage to take back their own show and land Cassandra a record deal at the same time?

The second one is about Wayne being visited in a dream by Jim Morrison. Wayne is looking for a goal in his life, and Jim provides him with one: Wayne is to organise WayneStock, a rock festival. Again, Wayne has to deal with numerous issues to fight his way through.

To me, the real charm of the movie is by the countless amounts of famous stars making an appearance in the movie. From Alice Cooper and Aerosmith to Rob Lowe and Christopher Walken, from Tia Carrere to Ed O'Neill, from Chris Farley to Kim Basinger, the movies are packed with celebrities who were all to keen to help Myers out with this project.

Even though the movies will never be a fallback for countless one-liners like (for instance) the Naked Gun series, they still make up for great amusement and a hysterical laugh.

Myers and Carvey manage to make sure the movie doesn't fall apart, though (in my opinion) Carvey is the real talent here. He's pure comedy genius, and sort of makes Myers look like the sidekick.

The only dissappointment is the lack of extra's on the DVD. Come on. No one out there will think 'Widescreen, Dolby Digital, English subtitles, Interactive menus or Scene selection' are "special features" anymore. Those are standard. Interviews are nice, but the real appeal with DVDs as a medium are goodies like Behind-the-scenes and Deleted scenes. It would have been nice to get a bit more for the buck. Still, for the true fan? The combo is a nice buy.
