Wayne’s World is far more than just a great series of musical moments, bicycle accidents and cameos by famous people. But those are two of the things that made the movie great. Alice Cooper did one of the great movie cameos in this film when he schooled Wayne Campbell in the history and correct pronunciation of “Milwaukee”. Lara Flynn Boyle did one of the great falling-off-a-bicycle movie scenes while wearing a neck brace. And that “Bohemian Rhapsody” scene remains, to this day, one of the all time classic musical moments in movie history.
Wayne’s World is, to this day, an absoultely hilarious movie. Mike Myers, really, did a much better job with this film than he did with any of the Austin Powers movies. Very few comedies have been as original as this one, and very few Saturday Night Live skits have been made into movies this successful. And by that I mean, none of them have, ever. The dynamic between Myers and Carvey as Wayne and Garth is one of the great comedic pairings in movie history. The supporting cast, including Boyle, Rob Lowe, and a star-making turn for Tia Carrere, are all terrific. And any movie where Stan Mikita appears as himself has to be cool.
Wayne’s World is being released on Blu-Ray May 12th by Paramount Home Entertainment, and while it looks terrific, it is pretty short on special features. There is a theatrical trailer, which is one of those pointless additions to all DVDs, and a behind-the-scenes short feature called “Extreme Close-Up”, that for some reason appears only in the top left corner of the screen, very very small, and doesn’t say much. It includes interviews with Myers, Carvey, Lorne Michaels, Rob Lowe, Tia Carrere, and director Penelope Spheeris, but all I really got out of it was that they had fun making the movie. I knew that by watching the movie.
I was wondering if you ever considered changing layout , design of one’s blog? Its very well written. I enjoy what youve have got to say. But you may could a bit more in the form of content so people could interact with it better. Youve got a great deal of text for just having 1 or 2 images. You may could space it better?
