seeing ratings like that remind me that sometimes IMDB users are way way way off base.
movie is hilarious, as funny as the original IMO, sure it's a slapsticky comedy but it's also F*$CKING HILARIOUS.
this should have at least an 8.0 rating
Breakin' 2, Electric Boogaloo, also does not get the love it deserves.
The way Turbo, Special K and Ozone banded together to stop the evil white developer from bulldozing the community center by breakdancing in front of the bulldozer...cinematic magic!
This is in my opinion one of the funniest movies of all time.
shareI just came on here to add a quick comment. I hadn't seen either of the 2 movies for quite a while and after seeing a clip from Waynes World 2 of the Kenny G and dentist scene on YouTube I decided to watch the first movie again and loved every second of it. I felt it had aged well and the talk-to-the-camera routine was still very funny and appealing. Even the Laverne & Shirley Parody was still funny, and that show was derived 2 decades before Wayne's World came out. It's a fantastic classic comedy film that deserves a much higher rating, as does the sequel.
I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting Wayne's World and I am now going to watch Waynes World 2. Excellent! :)
5.8?! Ch'yea! As if! Party on film lovers!
Most IMDBers are kids who didn't grow up with something, so are seeing it and judging it out of context, and are biased toward the stuff they grew up with/are aware of.
shareI agree the rating is low. I love the Graduate satire, but maybe the younger crowd doesn't get it. The movie had a lot of charm.
shareThe rating really is too low.
shareI agree as well.
I was very surprised!
I found both very fanny, but the second one i laugh my heart out with the scene with Garth & Kim Basinger.
I found the rating weird because personally me, I don't usually like those type of movies with the college kids who makes those stupid jokes about girls & sex, & all that stuff & you see everywhere boobs coming out, lol, & i am a feminist, I am very "serious" with stuff like that, but when I see a comedy to lighten up a little bit with good & silly jokes, I accept it & I go along with the mood...
I think it a great comedy that deserved more than a 7.5
Meh I gave it a 5.
sharei think this is just as funny as the original. but to be fair, i think neither one was that funny. they both had a few really funny bits but the rest of the films were mostly dull. i think the novelty of watching a movie about Wayne's World wore off on audiences after the first one. but that's just a guess. my only complaint i have for this one over the first one is they recycle some of the same gags, but all in all i thought they were about equal.
shareAs of the time of this post, it's at 6.1 so you're slowly getting your wish. ;D

This site is full of off-base ratings. A lot of great movies clearly are just not being appreciated by the majority of IMDB's user base.
shareI gave both the films an 8. Both so funny. Favourite scenes in this one are the scene with Handsome Dan and the scene where Wayne and Mr Wong do kung fu!
