* [[Classic Movie, Commercial Sequel]]: [[Mike Myers]] and [[Dana Carvey]] recreated ''Wayne's World'' in a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjGSUHZEYIY series of 2021 Super Bowl ads] for Uber Eats.
* [[Enforced Method Acting]]:
** Dana Carvey had never heard "Bohemian Rhapsody" before, so he's just pretending to know the words. Also, the actors head-banged so hard they injured their necks.
** Garth (the character) is also pretending to know the words. His attempted lip-syncing fails.
*** Dana Carvey ad-libbed the question about Bugs Bunny; Myers' reaction is real.
* [[Fake Nationality]]: Cassandra, who comes from Hong Kong, is played by Tia Carrere, an American actress (born and raised in Hawaii) of Filipino, Chinese, and Spanish descent. ''Wayne's World 2'' also has American actress Drew Barrymore playing Bjergen Kjergen, the Swedish receptionist at WPIG Radio.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Rock musician Meat Loaf plays a nightclub bouncer in the first film.
** Terry is Beecher from ''[[Oz]]''.
* [[Life Imitates Art]]: Many guitar stores do have signs telling patrons not to play "Stairway to Heaven", since it's massively overplayed by guitarists who [[Dreadful Musician|frankly aren't all that good at guitar]]. The same usually goes for "Smoke On The Water," too.
* [[The Red Stapler]]: ''Wayne's World'' gave the AMC Pacer the kitsch appeal that makes it a collectable today.
Line 16 ⟶ 17:
* [[Throw It In]]: The scene with Wayne and Garth talking on the hood of their car was the last scene filmed. Since everyone was tired and just wanted the movie done, they ad-libbed it. Mike Myers' hysterical response to Dana Carvey's question (about whether he found Bugs Bunny attractive when he put on a dress and played Girl Bunny) was genuine.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: [[Mike Myers]] wanted [[Federico Fellini]] to direct the sequel. Paramount, thinking Myers was joking, quickly squashed that idea.
** Also, more like a "What Might Not Have Been"; the seenscene with the cast lip-synching "Bohemian Rhapsody" is one of the movie's most iconiconic scenes. However, the director originally wanted the scene to have something by [[Guns N' Roses]], thinking a more modern group would make for a better scene. While arguing with a director is usually a bad movie for an actor making his first movie, Meyers ''insisted'' on the Queen hit, and the scene was saved.
