    The music store is called 'Cassell's Music' and it is still going strong today with lots of Wayne's World memorabilia left over from the filming shoot.

    Love this site. I have a correction. the high rise at 218 dearborn is actually the leo burnett building at 35 w. wacker (corner of dearborn and wacker). I know because I worked in this building for 6 years.

    Very cool. One thing: the "Other Club" (0:26) isn't actually a club, it's Cassandra's loft. That second Crucial Taunt gig was a loft party.

    Hi. Garth's house at 7102 Texhoma Avenue, Van Nuys looks exactly the same as it did in the film. The photo you have underneath is not the correct one. It's directly across the street from Wayne's at 7105 Texhoma. Take a look on Google Street View. Awesome site, btw!

    The house at 7102 Texhoma does NOT look exactly like it did in the film. It used to, but it's been renovated/remodeled. The house in Chas' photo IS Garth's house. Yes, the 7102 house seen on Google Street View matches the house seen in the movie, but that Street View was taken a while ago. In the time since the Google truck went down Texhoma taking images, the house at 7102 was heavily altered. You can tell Chas' photo is of the same property by comparing certain elements, such as the house numbers painted on the curb and the light pole next to the "7102" on the curb. Plus, if you look closely at the satellite image on Google Maps, you can make out the new driveway on the right (south) side of the property — the same driveway seen in Chas' photo, leading to the new garage. Chas' photo is correct ... he just wasn't fortunate enough to visit Texhoma before Garth's house was drastically changed.

    Hello,

    Great site. The scene where Wayne practices his Cantonese was also filmed in Cerritos two days prior to the Liberty Park scene. It was filmed at the Firestone Complete Auto Care at 11524 South St. I was there the entire day as a 13 year old kid and all the crew along with Mike and Dana couldn't have been friendlier. We had free roam of the set including being able to sit in the Garth mobile while helping ourselves to the licorice dispenser. Good times!

    I worked at FEDCO across the street from Firestone Complete Auto Care at 11524 on South St. and in fact do remember when filming was going on because I went across and asked them what was going on? They told me they were filming Wayne's World and I asked them what's that? along with the other scenes filmed in Cerritos there are a lot of driving scenes filmed around the Cerritos Mall and Cerritos Auto Square area

      I have not seen Back To The Beach. That location was on I believe Pico or Venice nearing West LA. I never added it back then because it was just and interior location.

      I just found this exchange after watching W'sW and searching the location of that pineapple bar. When they pulled up outside the bar entrance I immediately recognized it from Back to the Beach! I haven't been able to find the location of the real thing yet...

    I think part of the opening of the film was shoot in Lincoln Square (Chicago) at Western/Lincoln/Lawrence Ave. It's not far from Chicago Joe's on Irving Park Rd.

    During Bohemian Rhapsody they also show the giant indian standing on the building which on 6300 S. Pulaski ave in Chicago. It is still there today. Also, they just removed the stacked cars scene which was in the southeast parking lot of Cermak & Harlem Ave in Berwyn, IL.

    Where was the Alice cooper Milwaukee scene shot at?

    There is a shot when they are driving (I think it is Wayne and Cassandra) and the shot through the front windshield is them passing under the 605 towards Cerritos mall at the north end of the cerritos auto square.

    Where was the airplane scene shot, Ontario, California? I think it’s the only airport where the planes brush over you off of Haven Ave.

    The White Castle they drove past was actually across from midway airport on the north east corner of 63rd and Cicero av.
