Trivia:

The New Order song 'Age of Consent' was due to be used in the film, but due to a lack of money to pay the royalties, a session band was hastily organised at the last minute and a cover version was recorded for use in the film.

Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the "returning home from England" plane scene, it's obviously a mirror image (identifiable by the writing on the plane being reversed.) However due to the nature of the jokes during the plane scenes, this was probably intentional.

Quotes:

Wayne: Oh! Come on! Do you think I'm a gulla-bull? Or even a gulla-calf?

Not As Good As The Original, But Good None The Less

The crew of "Wayne's World 2" had a nearly impossible task of following up the amazingly successful "Wayne's World". Needless to say, this does not compare to the original.

However, this film is pretty good. Myers and Carvey are back with just as much wit and splendid timing as the original. This time they are opposed by the brilliance of Christopher Walken who, as usual, plays his part to a tee.

The plot of setting up a festival does not have the power of that of the original and I was not crazy with the Jim Morrison character.

The amount of cameos was a bit too extreme at time as what seemed like every other shot had some other famous person wanting to be part of the film.

You would think that a film like this would not be as good hearted as it is, but it really is just a good film on so many levels.

It's not a must see like it's predecessor, but I would still recommend it to anyone.
