Get DirectionsTexahoma Avenue in Van Nuys is where Wayne and Garth play their iconic street hockey game — calling 'Car!' to move the goal, then 'Game on!' once the car passes. The same stretch of suburban street was also used for the Bohemian Rhapsody driving scenes, with the Mirthmobile (a baby-blue 1976 AMC Pacer) cruising past these houses as Wayne, Garth, and friends headbang to Queen's six-minute opus. The head-banging scene single-handedly returned 'Bohemian Rhapsody' to the Billboard charts, 17 years after its original release.
The Bohemian Rhapsody car scene is arguably the most iconic moment in Wayne's World and one of the most famous scenes in comedy film history. Mike Myers reportedly fought hard to keep Queen's song in the film when the studio pushed for a Guns N' Roses track instead. The scene was gruelling to film — the cast spent hours headbanging in the cramped Pacer, resulting in genuine neck pain. The payoff was a cultural moment that introduced Queen to a new generation.
Texahoma Avenue remains a quiet residential street in Van Nuys, indistinguishable from thousands of other Valley streets except for its place in film history. The 'Car! ... Game on!' routine has become embedded in pop culture, referenced and parodied countless times. Fans occasionally visit to recreate the street hockey scene, though the street is a private residential area and visitors should be respectful.
