Wayne's World 2 was released in the magical year
of 1993. Yes, the very same year that gave us the emergence of the
Dogg, Sonic 2 and the legendary Death Ring.
This film obviously is the sequel to the wildly successful original.
The first film was a huge commercial success, and it gave us the famous
Bohemian Raphsody scene, but not much else. Wayne's World 2 is a much
better, and infinitely funnier film. We will not argue about this. The
difference might be as simple as Garth not being a complete tool in the
sequel. Also, the first film was made on the strength of the wonderful
SNL skits. But, the sequel was more like the skits than the original,
based mostly on Wayne and Garth doing Wayne and Garth things. Those
things, in the sequel, are among the funniest in Sid's comedy
collection.
The plot of Wayne's World 2 is a very simple one. Wayne is visited in a dream by Jim Morrison and is told to put on a concert in Aurora. Casandra is still Wayne's girl, looking a good 50 times hotter than she did in the original, where she still kind of had a Chinee takeout counter girl look to her. Because of Casandra's significant upgrade in smokin hottness, Wayne's got some compitition. Wayne has to compete with the one and only Christopher Walken. Walken plays the part of a cocky calculating record exec from Casandra's label to perfection. So Wayne not only has to battle Walken for his woman, he also has to put on a killer rock show in Aroura. Sprinkle in at least a laugh per scene, and that's your flick. A comedy classic.
We, Sid the Elf, would be doing ourselves and the film a great disservice if we did not cover the highlights of Wayne's World 2. We loved this movie growing up, and we still love it today, maybe even more. First, there's the classic Stan Mikita's drive-thru scene where Wayne messes with the poor sap working at Mikita's by dropping sylables from words in his order, but the guy gets it anyway. Just classic. If you haven't tried this at least once, you're missing out just trust us. Every scene with Walken is perfect. In fact, it could be argued that he makes the movie, including the line we used for the title, and allowing us to perfect a dead-on Walken impression. Then, there's Del Preston, the guy who helps the fellas put on the show. The best scene in the movie possibly belongs to him when Wayne and Garth find him sleeping hanging upside down in his apartment. His "That's my old lady," line has been a staple of Sid's for years now. There was also a small apperance by Chris Farley probably just acting naturally. Also, Jeff Wong was brilliant. He apparently has given up being an evil General in the Vietnimese army from Missing in Action to just be Casandra's concerned father here. He contributes the hilarious fight scene between himself and Wayne.
To be honest, Wayne's World 2 has too many great moments to go through them all. It is a much funnier movie than the original, and it is in the Sid the Elf pantheon of comedies. We even made it a part of our legendary Bahamas trip, watching it the night before we left. This caused us to spout roughly 35,000 "What?" from the drive-thru scene and send a fat life into an irreversible downward spiral. This film is deeply woven into the iegend of Sid the Elf, so you know it's wonderful. If you see this movie based on us and don't crack up at least 10 times, we'll give you a full refund of this review. Seriously, if you haven't seen Wayne's World 2, join me now. We guarantee you will say "thanks a pantload, Sid."
