Trivia:

When Wayne gets off the phone with Jeff Wong, the last thing Wayne says is "Chi soh hai bin do ah", as if it were a way of saying "Goodbye". However, this is actually Cantonese for "Where is the toilet?"

Goofs:

Errors in geography: When Wayne pulls in at the gas station, across the way can be seen a building with the lettering "Bonita High School, Home of the Bearcats". Bonita High School is in LaVerne in California, a long way from Illinois where the film is set.

Garth: [nervously;adressing crowd] ... We-Welcome to A-Aurora...

One of the greatest sequels

In general, sequels tend not to be such a good idea. There are many examples where a sequel has been utter rubbish and it is rare that a sequel can match up to its original, even if it is a good film. However, every so often a sequel comes along that can match its counterpart and even have some better points. Wayne's World 2 is a prime example of this.

Mike Myers and Dana Carvey are back as Wayne and Garth and this time the embark on a quest to stage a concert in Aurora after Wayne is visited in dream by an all time great of the music world. Another strong plot and some great new characters to go with the originals make this film very watchable and there are possible even more laugh out loud funny moments than before.

A very good, funny film that does justice to the great original
