"Early in 1992's Wayne's World, a bunch of rockers squeeze into an AMC Pacer with custom flames painted on the side. As they drive past the automarts, car washes and beef stands of downtown Chicago, Bohemian Rhapsody plays on the car stereo. The song's operatic verses are used for laughs (the Let me go line becomes a cry for help from a friend who is partied out and might honk in the backseat)"
"At its core the scene, and Wayne's World as a whole, is about the friendship between Wayne (Mike Myers) and Garth (Dana Carvey). They are best friends who, when they're not moshing behind the wheel, host a show on public access TV. Essentially a pair of irreverent pre-internet YouTubers, they wear ripped jeans and Def Leppard shirts while chatting to eccentrics like the inventor of Suck Kut, a self-hair-cutting device."
Queen's omnipresent hits epitomize stadium-sized grandeur and can feel overrated, yet their music created one of the most beloved cinema scenes. Early in 1992's Wayne's World, rockers crammed into an AMC Pacer as Bohemian Rhapsody blasted, using operatic verses for laughs and a breakdown for headbanging. The sequence embodies the film's focus on the friendship between Wayne and Garth, two irreverent public-access hosts who wear ripped jeans and Def Leppard shirts while engaging eccentric guests. Wayne pursues bigger success, dreaming of a 1964 Fender Stratocaster, while Garth remains content with simpler pleasures.
