@@gavinsheridan4680 thinking someone is being 100% serious about the words they say in the comments section of a RU-vid video is a pretty strong assumption 🤔
Tia Carrere is definitely a well established actress and yea she is awesome (If I recall correctly, she's Chinese and Filipino and is supposed to have a show about how she is the "Tita" which means "Auntie" (it's an honorific) in her Filipino family)
Althea Rae Duhinio Janairo (born January 2, 1967), known professionally as Tia Carrere (/kəˈrɛər/), is an American actress and singer who got her first big break as a regular on the daytime soap opera General Hospital. Carrere played Cassandra Wong in the feature films Wayne's World and Wayne's World 2; Juno Skinner in True Lies; Nani Pelekai in the Lilo & Stitch films and TV series; Queen Tyr'ahnee in Duck Dodgers; Richard Lewis's girlfriend, Cha Cha, in Curb Your Enthusiasm; and starred as Sydney Fox in the television series Relic Hunter, as well as Lady Danger opposite RuPaul in Netflix's AJ and the Queen. Carrere also appeared as a contestant in the second season of Dancing with the Stars and the fifth season of The Celebrity Apprentice. In addition to acting, Carrere has won two Grammy Awards for her music.
Paramount produced Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley, so they used the same sets. Donna Dixon came from another Paramount show; Bosom Buddies, starring Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari.
If you havent seen it already, I would really recommend checking out Strange Days from 1995 which will be turning 30 next year and is a forgotten masterpiece from Katherine Bigelow and James Cameron, starring Ralph Fiennes, Angela Basset and Juliet Lewis. Its is an incredible movie, but there just aren't that many reactions out there for it so far.
@17:58 I’ve noticed younger generations don’t understand how this works. In most cases, the production pays the corporation. Just because you see a product doesn’t mean they paid to be there. Obviously in this case arrangements were made beforehand and it’s all one corp, probably one of NBC’s owner corps.
Mike Meyers grew up in Scarborough in southern Ontario and Wayne's World is basically all the 1970's-80's southern Ontario slang and slacker/stoner attitude that I experienced and was part of as a teen at the time.
A little something to know if you decide to watch Wayne's World 2... Dana Carvey's brother Brad Carvey helped invent the VIDEO TOASTER. It revolutionized the video industry in the early 90's, replacing $100,000 worth of equipment on a $1,500 computer card.
SNL actively issues takedown requests whenever anyone posts their material to RU-vid - that's why you couldn't find a sketch to watch before watching this film.
Not everyone will agree, but I feel sequel was better. I remember an interview with Mike Meyers where they filmed movie and presented it, but movie was just 30 min. Studio said movies are 90 min. So they reshot some scenes and it was still only 60 min. They finally got it to 90 min, but that should tell anyone that an hour of the movie was filler. 2nd one had nice character development and I thought movie was much funnier. This movie is not bad, but I enjoyed the sequel much more.
Don't feel bad about not getting references, Wayne's world 2 was one of the movies I saw in a packed theater where I was the only person who laughed cause I got a joke no one else did.
The "Stairway" thing - They did clear it for theaters, but not for the home video release. They tried. Led Zeppelin just wouldn't do it....which is unfortunate, since the joke only works if it's the actual song. You got it anyway, but you wouldn't believe how many reactors don't.
Man this is one for the ages! So this one I caught on cable, around '94 I think. I did get most of the references but didn't know Mike and/or Dana as I had never watched (or even heard of) SNL up to that point. That turned out to be a blessing in disguise for me 'cause it allowed me to judge this movie on its own merit and it passed with flying colors. It's because of this one that I was eager to watch Mike Myers and Dana Carvey movies as they came out.
You're literally the first reactor I've ever seen who knew what Laverne & Shirley is and went bonkers for that sequence like I did when I first saw it. Fantastic reaction.
Just came here to say the same. Almost no one who reacts to this knows the old sitcom. But somehow...it doesn't surprise me than Shan knows of it. If anyone her age was gonna recognize L&S, its her 😁
6:04 - and *this* is where Mike Meyer's joke in _Bohemian Rhapsody_ comes from... "No one is going to be head-banging in the car to 'Bohemian Rhapsody!'"
Watching "tribal people react to a video" that was Bohemian Rhapsody. They don't speak english they really enjoyed the singing and harmonies. BUT when the break came they head banged with the best of them. Very funny.
Meyers a actually fought the studio to get Bohemian Rhapsody. The head Bob moment became iconic. As a way to say thanks, Meyers got a Cameo in the Freddy Mercury Biopic.
Wayne's World Wayne's World!! This movie single-handedly created a whole new generation of Queen fans! Lots of cameos in this as well!' They're not dumb at all, just fun-loving and goofy!
Another great but often overlooked Mike Myers film is "So I Married an Axe Murderer" , he plays multiple characters in the film , and I believe it came out shortly after Wayne's World. I live in Milwaukee and love your channel, glad you had fun here, come back soon especially for Summerfest.
I've long thought that Wayne's World was a takeoff of the characters in Bill and Ted's. When I saw Wayne's World on SNL, it quickly seemed to me like it was capitalizing on the popularity of the movie. Though, I could see Meyers and Carvey made the concept their own. It wasn't just a carbon copy, but I think the resemblance between the two can't be denied.
About the time this movie came out, my stepdad had a restored Rolls Royce he picked up cheap. He didn't drive it much because it wasn't very practical. But, when he did - he kept a jar of Grey Poupon in the glove box because he regularly had jokesters come up and try this prank, and he liked the looks on their face when he was able to respond "But of course!"
When i was in middle school growing up in a small town, we visited my relatives in Northern California and went to Pebble Beach golf club. There was a stretched limo in parking lot; i peeked in the window and saw a jar of grey poupon on the table
@@pebblesanddirt - And the mustard wasn't even that expensive. My grandfather was a penny pincher, and he always had some in the 'fridge. I think the ad was about how it tasted. They were trying to make it out like it was the premiere mustard, high-quality.
Just so you know: You watched the version where they replaced Wayne actually playing the first notes of Stairway with just noise. The joke obviously works much better when he actually play the first notes of Stairway to Heaven.
If I remember right, the filmmakers weren't even forced to make the change, just got nervous in post and decided to hedge their bets. I don't blame them, LZ is notoriously litigious, but the joke led me, who watched this repeatedly as a kid, to be extremely confused when I finally heard Stairway for the first time and it sounded nothing like what Wayne played, lol.
The actress who played garth's "Dream girl" is Dan Aykroyd's wife in real life. I grew up watching the wayne's World sketch on snL, and a lot of the bits from the sketch made their way into this movie.
I always interpreted the subtitle joke as Wayne was supposed to continue speaking cantonese but Mike Myers not being able to so Wayne is just waiting the appropriate amount of time for the subtitles to translate.
you would not believe how much parents in the early 90s hated this movie. Not because of objectional content, but because the kids quoted it incessantly, and we got "NOT!" (which was so prevalent)
Not! was a catchphrase long before this movie in certain circles… Scott Ian of Anthrax was saying it so much during the late 80s that the was a cartoon logo of NotMan associated with him and it shows up in the Among The Living album. He said it was something that people around him had been saying and he adopted it. Yes, the fact that this has been attributed to Wayne’s World when it had been around for at least five years before is one of those weird little offenses that still bugs me over 30 years later. If you’ll excuse me, the guys with the white coats and butterfly nets are at my door and said I need to come with them.
I remember when I went with my wife to see this. Once they got to the car scene, she grouchily looked at me & said “This is just you & your friends.” We divorced a couple years later, lol.
Road Hockey is a nod to Mike Meyers' Canadian upbringing, where it's actually a thing (but usually played with more than two players). You play on the street with a hockey net, sticks, and a tennis ball. And if a car comes along, someone yells "Car!" and play immediately stops. All players leave the street, taking the hockey net with them. After the car passes, the nets are restored and everyone goes back to the EXACT position they were in prior to the stoppage. Then someone yells "Game on!" and the game resumes as if never interrupted.
About the subtitle joke, I always took it as he said a few words in Cantonese that meant a lot and it took a little bit longer for the subtitles to catch up, so the actors had to wait a bit.
This movie had the same effect on the youth of the day as Bill And Ted and TMNT. Slang words, speech patterns and general behaviour, all the kids were copying them. Golden age of the late 80s and early 90s :D
Fun Fact: Wayne laughing when Garth asked about finding Bugs Bunny attractive was 100% real. Mike Myers completely broke character and they kept it in.
Apparently there was a lot more to that scene. Dana Carvey was improvising really outrageous and vulgar stuff and they just cut around it. But yes the laugh is completely genuine
@@dustywaynemusic6297 Also, if I'm not mistaken, that was one of the last things they shot, so the cast and crew were all basically exhausted, so the reactions are a lot more real.
I spent a week on the donut shop set, in Inglewood California. My mother's best friend was the script supervisor on the movie. The Foxy Ladie bit took forever due to everyone laughing through all the takes. He kept changing it, and every time it was funnier then the last. The donut shop was originally a flower shop that the changed into the donut shop for both movies. I loved this movie. And Mike A Danna were awesome to hang out with. In between takes. They just hung out. Another piece of info is because the place was a flower shop, they could not control the ants that were out of control on set. They were after all the donuts in the glass cases.
@@ShanelleRiccio The whole donut shop is also a reference. In canada we have "Tim Hortons", a donut shop chain named after a hockey player. So MM added "Stan Makita's" as a nod to that
My theory is al bundy finally snapped one day at the shoe store, smothered griff with a size 10 shoe then went home and took an axe to peg, jefferson and marcy before going into hiding and posing as a donut shop owner in aurora It explains everything really
Yes, that cop was the T-1000 Terminator. Brian May was interviewed on NPR a couple years ago and he was asked about Bohemian Rhapsody being used in this movie. He said basically the same thing you read, that it reignited Queen's popularity in the US and put the song back on the charts. The 90s were probably the high point of Tia Carrere"s career, with this film, True Lies with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis, and Michael Crichton's Rising Sun with Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes. She also starred in a syndicated Tomb Raider rip-off called Relic Hunter. It was pretty bad, but I watched it because I had a bit of a crush on her at the time :)
They used the Grey Poupon bit for the official Preview. I remember sitting in the audience and thinking "Why is there a Grey Poupon Commercial during the movie preview???" When Mike's head pops out and ask for the GP like in the commercial the audience took a collective confused pause and then burst into laughter when we realized it was a joke. Good bit. The T2 reference did the same thing. Before the internet, previews were the spot for reveals. I can't remember what movie I was watching, but I distinctly remember when the preview for Empire Strikes Back came out that the whole audience was stunned silent for a long second before erupting in cheers.
Wayne first appeared in 1987 on a CBC (Canadian) show called It's Only Rock N Roll in a segment called Wayne's Power Minute. It wasn't until 1989 that they first appeared on SNL.
During lockdown, Josh Gad did a series of cast reunion zoom calls…..all of which are excellent. But the Wayne’s World reunion is one of the highlights, due to the fact that Brian May & Roger Taylor from Queen take part. May recalls how prior to Freddie Mercury’s death, he’d managed to get a tape of the film & took it to show Freddie; who at the time was in hospital. Mercury loved the film!!! Mike Myers was visibly moved upon hearing this tale, as he’d been totally unaware Freddie had seen the film. Fast forward several years & Mike Myers appeared in the Queen biopic. Please make sure you watch Wayne’s World 2!!! Oh & btw, Mike Myers reaction to Garth’s question about Bugs Bunny was genuine.
Watch Bohemian Rhapsody and the part where the record executive says "I want a song kids can bang their heads to in the car and Bohemian Rhapsody will never be that song" that character is played by Mike Myers, who showed the clip from Wayne's World to Freddy Mercury before he passed, and Freddy loved it
My absolute favorite scene is when Alice Cooper puts his hand out as if to let them kiss the ring when they’re bowing to him 😂😂😂 Just such a natural reaction
@@iamaronman👍 I know of a couple of people who've deluded themselves into believing their gifted accolade is just as meritorious as the other earned. 🧐
20:15 So, this is an "all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares" thing. Champagne is a type of sparkling white wine, with a Protected Designation of Origin. But it's even more specific than just the regional production; you have to use only specific grape varieties, press them a certain way and the carbonation has to be from secondary fermentation in the bottle (plus other stuff). There are other white sparkling wines that are region/grape variety/whatever specific, with lower legal protections for the name, like cava, prosecco, or sekt, and you're generally paying less for the name on the bottle for a fairly similar level of quality product with those.
These era films. It's cool though what they could get greenlit then. Like sketch comedy like this would skyrocket and be all over t-shirts and such. I can't picture say SNL having such ease in doing it these days. I think about Coneheads as well, absolutely love the creativity in that one. It must have have been so much fun making this one.
This movie is essentially Mike Myers' love note to his hometown Canadian roots with "a suburb of Chicago", Stan Mikita's Donuts standing in for Scarborough, a suburb of Toronto and Tim Horton's Donuts. Even the bar they go to, The Gasworks, was named after a similar rock venue that used to be in Toronto in the 80's. I used to be able to quote every line of this movie, back when I really didn't even know what the lines meant. "A sphincter says what?" was not a joke I even understood until it was too late...
This movie came out when I was like 10 and I still quote it regularly. I even have the same "no stairway" sign in my studio downstairs hanging next to my white fender stratocaster.
I worked in a movie theater from 1990-1994 and saw this movie more times than I can count. There were so many good movies that came out during those 5 years....
No one mentions it, but the donut shop with the hockey player on the roof is obviously a reference to Tim Horton's, which was still just a Canadian thing when this movie was made. And street hockey? Although Mike Myers has gained a reputation of being difficult to work with, I once worked a Dana Carvey stand-up show back during the peak of his SNL career. I was the house electrician, and he called me, the follow spot op. and the sound guy into his dressing room to explain the cues to us. I found him to be funny, self-effacing, and as pleasant as you'd hope he would be. Some celebs (as you know) are jerks, but he was a really nice guy who just seemed happy to be able to do a show for people.
