Bill and Ted have to pass their history exam or else it's game over, so with the help of an Americanized TARDIS they travel through time to pick-up famous dead dudes throughout the ages. There's no denying this is vintage '80's silliness but with the help of the two title character's lovable performances and some hilarious head-shaking lines & situations it manages to win you over within minutes. Herek's eye is horrible as nearly all his shots are off-kilter, badly framed and unimaginative but that's not what we're here for. They're harmless, positive role models that stand by their words no matter how bad things get: "be excellent to each other".

Once I had seen Bogus Journey this one became.....strange. Shenanigans in hell and with Death himself, or........homework.
ReplyDeleteYeah. No contest.
I've seen this one maybe 5 or 6 times.
ReplyDelete...I've seen Bogus Journey maybe 20. :p
I never liked Bogus Journey. I preferred this one, although I’ve not seen either of them since I was a teenager and don’t know if I could sit through them again. It was because of the Ted character that for many years I was unable to see Keanu as anything other than a Californian ‘dude’ with a shoe size larger than his IQ. I love him now, but only because I’d finally wiped Ted from my mind. :shrug:
ReplyDeleteI can’t fault the “Be excellent...’ message, though.
I've written William-Sadler-Death fan fiction.
ReplyDeleteI am NOT kidding and I am not ashamed.
In keeping with the spirit of the film, I’ll be excellent to you despite such transgressions.
ReplyDeleteNeg...
ReplyDelete...we need to melvin Doc.
