World 2 Repack: Wayne-s

Or consider the "Cassandra karate fight." Worried his girlfriend might cheat on him, Wayne hallucinates her fighting Bob Cahn’s henchmen in a dimly lit warehouse. The scene is shot with the grainy, wire-fu aesthetic of a 1970s Hong Kong action film, complete with terrible dubbing. It is not real. It is never implied to be real.

His rock-star girlfriend, Cassandra (Tia Carrere), is being courted both professionally and romantically by her slick new producer, Bobby Cahn (Christopher Walken). This dual pressure forces Wayne and Garth to grow up, test the limits of their friendship, and execute a literal miracle in a deserted Aurora park.

This absurd premise sets the movie in motion. To pull it off, Wayne and Garth must track down legendary roadie Del Preston (a brilliant, deadpan Ralph Brown), book major bands, and battle a new romantic threat: Cassandra’s (Tia Carrere) slick new music producer, Bobby Cahn (Christopher Walken).
