I have NO IDEA how this is spelled and I can’t find a reference to it on Google, but I believe it’s Calum Bay in Japan.
Nope, Kowloon Bay in Hong Kong.
I need to rent this movie now, dammit!
Well, Max, that was truly amazing if that was by memory. Here’s another one:
How does Garth plan to broadcast Cassandra’s performance to the limousine?
For those interested, it’s 10:19 a.m. here in the Central Time Zone and “Wayne’s World” is on the USA network right now!
it’s something like:
“First, I’ll access the secret military spy satellite that’s in a geosynchronous orbit over the midwest. Then I’ll ID the limo by the vanity plate “Mr. Bigg” and get its approximate location. Then I’ll reposition the transmitter to 13 point twoooo degrees east, hit weststar 4 over the atlantic. Down into the Azores. Back to satcom through transmitter number 137… and down to the dish in the back of Mr. Bigg’s limo!!!” (I’m pretty sure I left out a step between weststar and the azores there…)
All that and you forgot the…“It’s almost TOO easy!”
Ah! I forgot to mention one of the bits that never fails to crack me up: the Laverne and Shirley intro scene. Just remembering it right now is making me giggle.
“Ee’re gonna do it!”
You know, when Garth asks Wayne about being attracted to Bugs Bunny when he dressed up like a woman and Wayne laughs and laughs and laughs, that wasn’t part of the scene originally. That’s really Mike Meyers laughing about something Dana Carvey said. The cameras just happened to be rolling and they edited it in later. Which makes sense because the laughing itself always did seem a little out of character.
(Which in turn reminds me that when Edward Norton smiles in a meeting in Fight Club to reveal a horribly bloody mouth, that wasn’t in the script either. The makeup people wanted to make sure he had enough blood in his mouth, and the the cameras happened to catch his expression, and they added it in later.
Okay, I’m going now.)
Little. Yellow. Different.
As for “stealing” from Bill and Ted or anyone else, that dog won’t hunt. There have been dumb-buddy movies all the way back to Laurel and Hardy and surely long before.
I remember seeing my first Laurel and Hardy short sometime in the very late 1990s and thinking “oh my God! It’s Beavis and Butt-head!” Honestly, the way L&H tip their hats at every woman who passes by is, mutatis mutandis, exactly the same as B&B’s “Hey, baby” in the convenience store. Many, many other similarities with Bill and Ted, Wayne and Garth, Dubya and Dick…oops…well, and many more.
I’m not sure if Wayne’s World is a generational thing or not. I was only about 12 when it came out, but I love it! The Wayne’s World soundtrack was the first CD I ever owned (and the only one for a while - boy did my parents get sick of that!)
It is similar in a way to Bill and Ted, which I also like, but a lot of movies from that era are - Encino Man comes to mind, but I’m sure there’s more. I also like the sequel - it’s all good!
“All this is giving me a headache!”
“Here, try this…”
“Hmmm…Little, yellow, different!”
“I’ll be sure to cross the T’s and dot the…lower case J’s!”
Did not. I stopped before I got there, as that is commentary abuot the plan, not part of the plan itself.
(We can only hope that he’s watching TV, in his limo, at that exact moment) (we’ll need help) (we’ll help!) (You get Cassandra, we’ll do the rest!)
Hey dude, you want to win my heart, you gotta tell me I look pretty…in Cantonese. 
Here’s my trivia question: name the title and artist of the song playing at Benjamin’s apartment when Wayne, Garth, and Cassandra visit.
Verbally okay? 
(Can’t do Mandarin, tho.)
“All Night Thing” by Temple of the Dog. Thanks again

This is sort of pathetic, but I can actually phonetically reproduce a few of the cantonese phrases just from having watched the movie so often…
At the garage early in the movie, Wayne is saying “Zeep-thaa, been-doo-ahh”, and “you look pretty” is something like “nay-hoe-lang-ahh” (anyone who actually speaks Cantonese is probably vomiting in disgust at how badly I murdered that…)
So I will just settle for saying that you’re double live gonzo, intensity in twin cities, live at Budokai. If you got a break, you could really make it.
Wayne’s World was such an influence on my informative years. You know how young kids will watch a single movie over and over and over again? Wayne’s World was that movie for my younger brother. We still quote that movie to each other and giggle til our hearts are content. (Once we giggled so loud and long in the backseat that my dad made us get out of the car and walk home. We were only a block from our house and were still giggling when we walked in the front door.) Watching it as we grew up, we understood more and more of the jokes that flew over our heads as children.
When I got my first car, I HAD to get a car full of people to reinact the “Bohemian Rhapsody” scene. (“If you’re gonna spew, spew in this.”)
“You know Wayne, if you’re not careful, you’re gonna lose me.”
“I lost you six months ago! We broke up! Are you mental?”
Ah, memories. Well, I know what I’m doing tonight.
Aiee yah, lai gum gong tong wah?
(“Aieee, that’s how you speak Chinese?” :eek:
)
Actually, “nae hoe lang ahh” isn’t bad, it’s clearly “You’re very beautiful.”
I always thought he said “Until the handle breaks off and you have to find a doctor…”
My favorite line in the movie is: “Or imagine being able to be magically whisked away to Delaware! Hi… I’m in Delaware…”
It’s so much my favorite line that when my husband and I were moving from SC to NY and hit the Delaware state line, I called him on his cell phone (We were dirving separete vehicles) and told him “Hey…we’re in Delaware.”
When we were moving from NY to VA, he did the same to me. That joke’s gonna get old if we don’t move off of the east coast soon.
“…doodeley doo doodeley doo doodeley doo…”
Kids get this?
