Wayne's World

I use to watch Wayne's World and it's sequel every couple of years in the late 90's to early 00's as I thought they were hilarious. Well, I haven't seen them for about 10 years or more now so picked up a Blu-ray copy ready to sit down and laugh out loud... While I did laugh, it wasn't as hard as I once may have. It's still funny and the lines are quotable but some jokes just felt immature and dumb rather than unique and smart. The pop culture references are getting pretty dated these days, I know some of the younger folks out there won't get them, but I still did and the references were what got the biggest laughs out of me. There is a story and it ties the jokes together well I guess and there's a number of cameos which are still cool to this day like, Alice Cooper, but my personal favourite was, Robert Patrick, resuming his role as the T-1000 in homage to Terminator 2, my favourite film ever! Final Verdict: Comedy films are always hard to rate, you either laugh or your don't. And if you laugh, it's done it's job. Yes this is still funny, but much like me it's getting old and some of the jokes or what I thought was "smart" off-the-wall comedy when younger just feels flat and silly. The pop culture references, music and cameos are the main attraction to me now and to that effect, it still works to this day. Recommend.

A classic sketch brought to life. Excellent!

Ask most men within a decade of my age in either direction to list the 100 best movie scenes of all time, and the scene from "Wayne's World" where they sing/lip sync Bohemian Rhapsody in the car will be on more lists than not. It might even make every list. Not designed for the "critically acclaimed" snob set, Wayne's World, the film adaptation of the extremely popular Saturday Night Live skit by the same name, targets its audience perfectly and never even enters the water, let alone jumps any sharks. The movie is true to itself from start to finish. The bedrock of the film, as well as the skit, is the unbending friendship of Wayne and Garth. Most children have one best friend who stands out above all others, and there's no mistaking that Wayne (SNL alum Mike Myers) and Garth (SNL alum Dana Carvey) have that type of friendship. The best friends host a cable access show in Aurora, Illinois, also sharing the skit's title. Other SNL alums, such as Brian Doyle-Murray (Noah) and Chris Farley (a concert security guard), round out the cast. The plot centers around an opportunistic television producer named Benjamin Kane (Rob Lowe), who, with funding from an arcade owner, turns Wayne's World into a slickly produced national show, causing it to lose touch with its audience, and causing friction between Wayne and Garth, who feel they have sold out their fans and their roots. A love interest is tossed to Wayne in the form of Cassandra (Tia Carerre), in triangular form due to the attention paid to her by Kane as well as Wayne. The pop-culture cuisinart responsible for most of the SNL skits was working in overdrive in this film, and that's a good thing. Everything from product placements, to gratuitous sex, to lame plot devices were lampooned. Rob Lowe was excellent as the sleazeball junior television executive, while cameos abound from the rock world, including Alice Cooper and Meat Loaf. Though not publicized as much as the other quotables from the movie, my personal favorite scene was when Wayne and Garth were each laying on parked cars, and Garth starts whistling the closing theme from Star Trek. SNL-based movies have been hit-or-miss since their inception, but this was unquestionably a hit.

As an older movie, it still looks great. I didn't notice any conversion issues with aspect or quality. Special features are nice It's one of my favorite movies. Just fun and easy to watch. I can't speak to how well it holds up, but I like to think it does.

This movie is a great callback to the days where Mike Meyers and Dana Carvey were still considered comedic geniuses before their careers died with "The Love Guru" and "Master of Disguise". That's beside the point. The point is that this movie is nostalgic as all get out. If you grew up in the 80's or 90's, you'll love this movie. It knows what kind of stupid humor is still funny without going too far. This deserves many re-watches

Great movie if you like this kind of movie.

I was really hoping it still came with the slipcover and it did!

It such an amazing movie. It came with a digital code which added the movie to my digital library.

Pedido comprado pensando que es steelbook y cuando me llega es una edición pack de la 1 y la 2 en blu-ray normal, con caja de plástico. Obviamente la devolví.

Really good entertainment, thank you

Excellent transfer

Llega con un bonito slipcover de buena calidad. La imagen se visualiza clara y nítida, conservando su esencia fílmica. El brillo de la imagen su la profundidad de los negros son correctos. Trae audio en inglés Dolby Atmos y español latino Dolby Digital Mono original. Con subtítulos en español e inglés. El código digital es válido para USA.

Still a great funny movie, with picture that never looked that good and finally with Stairway To Heaven bits restored so that one joke actually makes sense ;) The interviews with the cast are quite interesting too.
