I 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!

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.

As of the time of this post, it's at 6.1 so you're slowly getting your wish. ;D

i 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.

Meh I gave it a 5.

I 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

The rating really is too low.

I 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.

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.

I 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!

This is in my opinion one of the funniest movies of all time.

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 bulldozercinematic magic!

I don't know but I think this movie deserves at least a 7.0 rating, another movie I think is highly underrated on IMDB is Home Alone 2

I actually think this is one of the few sequels ever made that's better than the first movie.

As with most sequels, it wasn't as great as the first.Some of the gags were pointless - T Rex Ala Jurassic park? and the half naked Indian guy - funny the first time but got tiring after a while

Noticed this just now, re-watched it recently, seriously tough critics. Deserves something in the 7 region, or 8 if you are a fan. I'd rate it 8.3

That's what i was gonna say and the original had a 6.9. They should be at least in the 7's. I guess to many preps watched this or something.

I was also shocked by the 5.8 rating. It was always my perception most people thought the 1st one was better, but still liked the 2nd one. Personally, I think this is one of the rare comedy sequels which equals the original. Off the top of my head, the only other three comedy sequels which equal the original in my opinion are Austin Powers 2, Clerks 2, and Christmas Vacation.

Totally agree. I saw it again this morning and there are so many laughs in it. (And Walken was great in it too, I thought.) Hell I think it blows 'The Hangover' and other modern comedy movie crap out of the water, but I guess that's just me.
I don't get the 5.9. Ridiculous. More toward the 7.5 or 8 end in my opinion.

I agree it should be higher than 5.8, but THAT is what you find shocking? I'm more shocked that the first Wayne's World is only 6.9!!! That's a disgrace. The first is absolute class, f-cking hilarious. The 2nd isn't as good, still hilarious though!
If you're gonna spew spew into this.
I'm starting with the man in the mirror.

I came on and was just about to write the same thing. I couldn't believe it, there are a ton of much, much less funny films than this that have ratings in the 6.0's.
They both should be in the 7's. I've never met anyone that didn't like them.
