Wayne's World vs. Austin Powers

A theoretically easy question: Which series do you like more?

I've been re-visiting the Austin Powers series lately. They've aged better than the Waynes World movies, but just barely.

Wayne's World - better 1st movie.

Austin Powers - Better series of movies.

I'm not enamored with either choice. I would say Austin Powers. I thought the first two were pretty good. The second Wayne's World movie, along with Austin Powers: Goldmember was abysmal. As average as Tia Carrere is as an actress, she is Oscar worthy compared to Beyonce.

I'd go with the Austin Powers series just because of the spoofing of the James Bond movies. The Wayne's World movies were pretty good too.

I like the Wayne's World movie but Austin Powers by a mile (but just the first one)

I voted for Wayne's World cos I really dig both movies (though I'd agree that the first is better, for sure).

I like the first two Austin Powers movies fairly well, but the third one is a dumpster fire. It's not really a favorite series of mine, but seeing as they're both Mike Myers joints, I usually group the two series together in my head.

But overall, I resonate more with the characters of Wayne and Garth & I definitely have a soft spot for those movies. I usually gravitate towards more serious affairs when it comes to film, but I love shit like Wayne's World, Hot Rod, and other absurd comedies like that.

Chose Austin Powers.

As a whole better stuff even Goldmember.

Wayne's World vs Bill n Ted......Bill n Ted!

I was wondering about that match-up too! Idk which one I like more in that case, to be honest.

Wayne's World for me. I like the Austin Powers movies but that first WW has a lot of nostalgia for me.

This is why I went with Wayne's World.

I didn't even know there was more than one Wayne's World.

Waynes World

liked first Austin Powers movie but after that not so much

That was a tougher choice than I initially thought it would be. I love Wayne's World, but the 2nd one kinda fell flat.

Austin Powers had 2 good ones (the 3rd was just spinning it's wheels), so that go the vote. Mike Myers has recently been talking about a 4th Austin movie, this time from Dr. Evil's perspective, but I think that's all it is at this point, just talk.

I haven't seen Wayne's World 2 since it was in theaters, and even then, I remember sitting there like "they shouldn't have bothered."

I've revisited all three Austin Powers movies in the past couple of weeks, the first and second were way better than the 3rd (which still had its moments).

It's a shame that Verne Troyer (Mini-Me) has passed, he totally stole the 2nd and 3rd "Austin" movies. If and when they every come up with a 4th it won't be the same without him.

I like the nostalgia factor of the first WW movie (the look, the tunes) but I like the AP movies more as a group and I think they are just funnier overall.

Wayne's World had Dana Carvey who is the shit. However, Austin Powers had Heather Graham who is the tits. I went with AP.

Both series are funny, but I find WW to be more quotable:
"A gun rack? I dont own A gun, let alone several that would necessitate me needing an entire rack"
"This is why Keith Richards can not be killed by conventional weapons"

I like both, but Wayne’s World had the rock/metal theme that I enjoyed more.

Wayne's World for me - and its not even close.
