On February 14th 1992, Wayne’s World, a film adapted from a Saturday Night Live Sketch, debuted at number 1 at the box office and grossed $183 million across the world while costing $14 million to make.

Directed by Penelope Spheeris and starring Mike Myers as Wayne and Dana Carvey as Garth, nobody expected the ‘goofy’ movie to be a hit and become such a huge part of 90s culture.

It begins in the basement of Wayne’s parent’s house where Garth and himself host a public access TV show.

Paramount Pictures made a word reference guide to translate the slang phrases to help international audiences get the jokes. Even with this apparent humour barrier Wayne, Garth, and their unique slang travelled wide across the world and still resonated with many people.
