Synopsis

Everyone's favorite headbangers from Aurora, Illinois, are back in this sequel to the 1992 hit comedy Wayne's World. The success of their TV show allows Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers) and Garth Algar (Dana Carvey) to finally move out of their parents' homes, but now they have to figure out what to do with their lives. Wayne's girlfriend, up-and-coming rock star Cassandra (Tia Carrere), is enjoying a career boost thanks to her new manager Bobby Cohn (Christopher Walker), but Garth thinks that Bobby is more interested in her body than her place on the charts. Meanwhile, Wayne is visited in a dream by the late Jim Morrison (Michael A. Nickles), who convinces him to promote a massive rock festival, "Waynestock," featuring Aerosmith as headliners. Garth, on the other hand, is finally relieved of his pesky virginity by femme fatale Honey Hornee (Kim Basinger), though it turns out that Honey has a hidden agenda. Drew Barrymore, Harry Shearer, and Charlton Heston play cameo roles in Wayne's World 2, and Jay Leno, Rip Taylor, and Todd Rundgren appear as themselves. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review

As with most sequels, =Wayne's World 2 can't live up to its predecessor. In this case, the disc is the same story. Not that it's a bad DVD, it's just not quite as good as the first Wayne's World disc. On the plus side, the 1.85:1 anamorphic transfer is nicely presented. It looks natural and doesn't show any irritating flaws. The sound, which uses a remastered English Dolby Digital 5.1 track, sounds just fine, but hardly takes advantage of the wide range available. This disc also features English and French surround tracks. As with the first disc, this one also features a commentary track from its director, Stephen Surjik. Surjik isn't quite as animated or enthusiastic as Penelope Spheeris though, and there are a number of silent gaps breaking the track. He does have interesting comments to make, and it certainly is worth listening to. In addition, this disc also features more interviews with the cast and crew. What is sadly missing is the theatrical trailer. Overall, this is a nice package, probably better treatment than expected. ~ Trent Fordham, All Movie Guide
