Keanu Reeves and Alex Winters went on to truly uphold this movie's message, and they became the two most excellent people in Hollywood.
I haven’t heard much from Alex Winters but I believe this statement to be true based on what I do know.
I read this in a valley accent 😁
@@emanymton713 He went on to more executive roles like directing and producing. I so enjoyed their return as a surprise in these times.
Amen brother - they sure did. Party on dude!
Tbf, not hearing much about a Hollywood producer is about as excellent as things get, considering some of the things you do hear about them.
I like how Billy the Kid and Socrates became fast friends. Played together at the Time Machine, rescued Bill and Ted together in England, tried to pick up girls at the mall.
I love how Socrates was immediately ride or die with Billy from rescuing bill and ted at the beheading to running around the mall shooting his water pistol
Of all the great philosophers, Socrates is renowned for being the best wingman.
Yes, truly a man of culture and learning. As he once so famously said, "... I drank *what*?"
@@stevensauer8539 "Real Genius," right? Another favorite 80's flick.
@Seth-fg4ho Indeed. My all-time favorite nerd movie. I wish more YT reactors would give it a try.
I love this movie. On the surface it seems so corny and ludicrous. But it has such infectious fun-loving spirit and both main actors just play off each other so well. The secondary characters also steal every scene, even when they’re in the background. I laugh so hard at this movie even after dozens and dozens of viewings and partial viewings.
Excellent choice.
It doesn't just seem, it runs on it. And they make it work. By the time the armor gag happens you just shrug and roll with the "I fell out of my armor" explanation though it's really obvious you can't just fall out of armor and have it perfectly intact and straight lying on its back on the floor. It's patently ludicrous and that's what makes it so good. The whole tone says let's have some fun!
@@inarar5334 Alex Winter said on the Blu-ray commentary that the falling-out-of-the-armor gag is one of his favorite bits in the movie. It's so ridiculous, but Keanu delivers the line so matter-of-factly.
I think it also kind of epitomizes the tone of the whole movie. Everything is completely absurd, but Bill & Ted are just like "Yeah, dude. Excellent!" (Shame about the slur that follows it, but that was the 80s for you.😒)
‘Strange things are afoot at the Circle K!’
Haha, I still say this line whenever something peculiar is going on.
When Keanu did "Speed" it was not long after B&T, so nobody thought he could pull off an action hero role, but he did.
He had already done Point Break which had a little more action.
@@3DJapan Sometimes it's difficult to remember when what came out before or after.
As I recall, he had a short span where he had difficulty being cast for anything, basically because of his 'Ted' role.
We are so lucky that he didn't just give up.
@@ronfehr7899 it wasn't jsut his role as ted , though , the same year he did B&T he also did another comedy , albeit amuch larger comedy at the time that comedy being Parenthood With Steve martin. basically he did two back to back comedy roles , that is what was stalling him. but can you really even call 2 years a stall ??? point break came out in 91 just two years at PH and B&T. it's not like he did B&T and then languished in hollywood obscurity of 5-10 years. in 1990 he appeared in several movies and productions , also in 1991 before point break he got a part in a mostly forgotten Drama movie titled Providence. so again i ask the question did he even have a stall in his career because of B&T , i'd think not.
I love how Addie always says "us", like she's a character in the movie. Like "are all of us going to fit?" when they got Sigmund Freud. It's so sweet.
I've always wondered that myself. Had they been smart, they could have repeatedly dropped them off in 1988. Then again, the booth was broken at the time, and they probably wouldn't have been able to do it until they fixed it.
It's the Royal "us". :)
Love when Bill told Freud he just had a slight Oedipal Complex
I was in high school when this played. We all started talking like Bill & Ted, and playing air guitar. It was sweet!😁
Because Eddie Van Halen invented the final form of air guitar by proxy.
I always love how Bill and Ted say stupid stuff, but in a poetic almost sophisticated cadence that outside the words would sound intellectual.
Excellent reaction, Addie. I'm so glad that you had an excellent adventure with Bill & Ted. I plan on watching this movie soon. Can't wait to see you watch Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (1991).
Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020) is a most triumphant end to the trilogy. I hope you watch that one too.
@@JDdiGriz The thing that I love about this series is that it is always clear they are simply making each movie to have fun and be entertaining. I never get the sense that they're trying to re-do or out-do what came before. But it does mean that if you come into Bogus Journey expecting simply more of Excellent Adventure, you could be horribly surprised and let down. But I love the whole trilogy and, just as you say, Face the Music is a most triumphant end to the trilogy.
"Dave Beeth Oven, So-Crates Johnson, Bob Ghengis Khan... and Abraham Lincoln."
B&T introducing the historical to Missy is my favorite little moment, especially when they run out of names and just introduce Abe as himself 🤣🤣🤣
Also Excellent Adventure has a rocking soundtrack.
Ummmm...her name is "Missy I-mean-Mom" :D
Dennis Frood was my favorite. 😁
"Maxine of Arc"
Even Missy wasn't going to be fooled by a fake name for honest Abe.
You cut the line! After Freud finishes analyzing Ted, he asks Bill if he wants a session. Bill says no. He just has a little Oedipal complex. It's a classic!
Reactors have to edit down to avoid copyright strikes.
No one ever comments on what Freud is holding while talking to the girls at the mall. 19:55
They knew he was at the waterpark *Waterloo* because *The Battle of Waterloo* in 1815 in what was arguably one of the most significant & memorable battles of its era, the Battle of Waterloo brought an end to Napoleon’s power-hungry ambitions for Europe, severing his attempts at domination. This decisive battle ended the Napoleon’s bid to dominate Europe, a war which had lasted some 23 years concluding a long & arduous war between France & its counterpart powers in Europe.
People still say "Waterloo" to refer to someone's career-ending moment. It's not just history, it's passed into casual metaphor.
@@Melancthon7332 okay but it's a historical event when related to Napoleon which was the point of the water park
Thing is, the Napoleon they kidnapped was from 1805. Waterloo would mean nothing to him for another 10 years.
You definitely need to watch the sequels, Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey is my personal favorite of the trilogy
I also worked at a Circle K for a few years and would often say “Strange things are afoot at the Circle K” and only about half the time people understood the reference
agreed
Never worked at the Circle K, and I say it anyway. If people don't get it, there isn't much point in continuing the conversation.
I still say this lol
The employees at that still open Circle K in Arizona where the scene was filmed are still required to respond "I dunno, I just work here" when asked about the Mongols.
Seeing a phone booth would be a very strange event now.
This movie was the primary reason why people were shocked when Keanu Reeves went on to be Neo in The Matrix and then John Wick.
Don't forget he had Point Break and Speed by then.
And we don't talk Dracula.
@@SlavaPunta Yeah, but even those two weren't anywhere near what the Neo and John Wick roles are.
Johnny Mnemonic? thats probably most cyberpunk of all his movies
@@joegreene7619 Point Break and Speed were enormous box office hits. Not as generationally defining as The Matrix, sure, but thanks to those and a several other big-budget action flicks (like Chain Reaction), Keanu was a legit, bankable action star by 1999. No surprise at all.
@@Melancthon7332 Speed was a hit. Point Break only made $83 million worldwide. Chain Reaction only made $60 million.
He was still best in the role of the guy who didn't know what was going on. Maybe not as goofy as Bill & Ted, but his strongest performances where still ones where he didn't have the information or understanding he needed. Even the first Matrix was that way.
Those earlier films were also not nearly as deep thematically as Matrix or John Wick.
The cast included several 1980s music stars: The Three Most Important People in the Future were Fee Waybiil lead singer of The Tubes on one side, Martha Davis lead singer of The Motels on the other, and in the center was Clarence Clemons, the saxophonist for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Joan of Arc was played by Jane Weidlin, the co-founder, rhythm guitarist, and backing vocalist for The Go-Go's, one of the hottest all-female bands of the early to mid-eighties.
I was in high school when this came out, and everyone in Phoenix knew where most of the filming took place, as it was mainly filmed in Phoenix and Tempe, Arizona. The high school, interiors, and exteriors were two different high schools, the mall was two miles from where I lived, the Old West section was in a more rural part of the city, the bowling alley, the Waterloop waterpark was two different ones. One for the establishing shots and the ones with Napoleon having fun, and the Circle K where something strange is afoot? It is at the intersection of Southern & Hardy in Tempe. Quite a few of the locations have changed or are now gone (the auditorium and the mall specifically), but watching the movie is almost a weird time capsule of my hometown when I watch it now.
Be excellent, Addie! And party on, dude!
This movie taught me an important lesson that being intelligent was much less important than being excellent to each other. It's a silly and stupid movie that is carried by a great soundtrack and a great message - one of my favorites. (I am actually wearing my "Be Excellent to Each Other" t-shirt right now)
😂😂Addie said, "Not by blood."
Didn't know Addie had a dirty mind. 🤣🤣
Addie has a filthy mind and a wickedly dark sense of humour. 😅
RIP George Carlin. When this movie was released, I was only five years old. I've been a huge fan of Keanu Reeves ever since 1986. I've been a big fan of Alex Winters ever since 1988.
And RIP Clarence Clemons, the long time sax player for. Rice Springsteen. He was the middle person in the future.
@@PMEgan64 RIP Bernie Casey.
RIP Eddie Van Halen, who never got to appear in the series.
My family still to this day will occasionally say “Strange things are afoot at the Circle K.” To each other.
Hi Addie!😊 I can't believe you are just watching this! There are two sequels: "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" (1991) and the recent "Bill & Ted Face the Music" (2020). The sequels do have some entertaining things to offer. Great reactions to the original Bill & Ted's, Addie!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
"they Melvin'd me"
@@sterlinggecko3269 Station!
F. the Music avoided it being a stale rehash.
@@treetopjones737Yes, it was nice to have that.
now you understand the meme showing Ted talking to the crowd with the line "I remember my first TED talk, it was most excellent" :)
I've been saying "strange things are afoot at the Circle K" for 30 years because of this movie.
I love the meme that John Wick is the alternate universe where Ted failed and went to military school.
I adore this movie! "They do get better." is the best punch line for a 90 minute joke. Such a great flick!
Btw Addie, that character at the start is played by none other than the late George Carlin. One of the best stand-up comedians.
Even if she only watched them on her own time instead of reacting to them, I would suggest that she maybe watch a few of his stand-up acts.
I'm old enough that this was my introduction to Keanu Reeves.
The "so many people in a phone booth" is a reference to "phone booth stuffing", a fad that happened after WWII. People stuffed cars too. For Bill and Ted, it would have been something their parents and grandparents did for fun.
There may also be a little Doctor Who in there. It is not bigger on the inside, or is it.
Please please please watch the next 2 movies! Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey is such a ride and Face the Music is such a fantastic ending to the trilogy and they are all wholesome in their own ways
"Be excellent to each other" is one of my life mottos!
One thing I’ve always especially loved is how quickly each historic figure got on board with the plan. It’s like five minutes between them abducting Ghengis Khan and him happily kidnapping Lincoln for them.
This movie fills me with nostalgia, mainly because it was mostly filmed in and around Phoenix, Arizona. "San Dimas" Mall is actually MetroCenter, back when it actually had an ice skating rink. Sunsplash fills in as "Waterloo". "San Dimas High School" is Coronado High School.
There has never been a more necessary time for the mantra, “Be Excellent to Each Other!”
I really love this 80's classic, and remember seeing it in 1989 when I was 14. Suddenly I feel old. 😅
So happy you enjoyed it Addie. Bill and Ted's mission would have been much less crowded/easier if they had a different time traveling phone booth aka Dr Who's Tardis.
Oh goodness, I hope you watch Bogus Journey too! That one's my favorite. This sounds wrong, but watch it for Death; too funny!
I admire the work that went into creating the costumes and the set pieces. They really made the different time periods look authentic.
The two sequels are worth watching. All 3 have a different feel from each other, all are good in their own way.
As a musucian, I've always loved the idea of giving someone like Beethoven modern technology to play with. My favorite part of the movie is the look Beethoven gives the salesman when he asks if he's a musician!
This is how I was introduced to Keanu Reeves.
Same
In The Matrix, when Neo goes "woah", it's hard not to think of him as Ted.
"The dude at the beginning of the movie..."
Oh George, how soon they forget.
I remember seeing this in the movies when I was 10. When Socrates calls Freud a geek the entire theater busted out laughing.
Still one of my favorite comedies... like a lot of '80's flicks, it leaves you with such a positive feeling. FYI, Alex had had a few noteworthy roles, but went on to do a lot as a director and producer. From what I can tell, he and Keanu are still pals. It's worth watching the Bill and Ted sequels. They're bizarre in the best way.
The close-up of Rufus playing the guitar, in the shot of just the guitar, was actually Eddie Van Halen playing it.
The tricks with the time travel were actually pretty slick and intelligent, as well as playing on the history for laughs.
Lol thus is where I learned of Kanno Reeves.When I see him in the movies since in my head all I ever hear is "We got to save the Princesses "
This is one of my favorite movies. Fun, incredibly rewatchable, and under the silliness so smart. There are so many great little touches that aren't pointed out by the plot or the dialogue but are a great chuckle if you know. For example, when they first meet Joan of Arc (known for claiming to have spoken to God, or at least one of His messengers), Ted reaches his hand forth to her, and she reaches up toward him - in the exact positions of the hands of Man and God in the scene from the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Or, when Billy and Socrates are trying to pick up girls in the mall, and "Siggy" shows up, he's holding a corn dog, that most phallic of snacks. And when the girls mock him and call him a geek, the corn dog sags, going limp. Or, Napoleon putting his hand inside his coat (as he was famed for doing) because he injured it while bowling. Stuff like that. And so many great lines. For years afterward, anytime something weird was going on, I or one of my friends would inevitably say, "Strange things are afoot at the Circle K." Also, it has one of my favorite soundtracks.
It's what I call a "smart stupid movie". On the surface, it's dumb, but underneath so much wit lurks.
Another movie from that category, that I wish someone would react to (hopefully one who gets the humor) is a movie by an Australian guy named Yahoo Serious, called "Young Einstein". It follows the adventures of young Albert Einstein, who grew up on his parents' apple ranch in Tasmania, but after discovering the formula to put bubbles in beer, is sent to the mainland to go to the patent office. Yes, it's absolutely as silly as it sounds, but again has so much wit running through it. And coincidentally, a great all-Australian soundtrack, featuring a track from Big Pig, the group that did the song from the beginning of Bill and Ted.
the Nineties were such a great time for "smart stupid movies". Also see: Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion.
This is how I grew up remembering Keanu.
So glad you appreciated it.
:)
There are so many little touches that make the humor. For instance, when they crash in to get Beethoven, everyone turns towards the sound of the crash....except for Beethoven, who, of course, is deaf.
One of the writers said that after this movie came out, he got a lot of letters from teachers and they fell into two categories. One was from history teachers, who said that they loved the influence this movie had on the interest in history. The other others were from English teachers who absolutely hated the movie because of it's influence on the kids' language.
Also, Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter actually became great friends after meeting in this film. Keanu Reeves once commented that it's really funny to see people's reaction to them being out together in public. They're like "Hey, it's Bill and Ted!"
I love how you yell "Heyyy" when they air guitar.
GHENKIS KHAN: The Actor that played him was in "Die Hard"... He was the Terrorist that took the Candy bar!
JOAN OF ARC was played by Jane Wiedlin, The Bassist for THE GO-GO'S!
*Rhythm guitarist. Kathy Valentine was their bass player.
Such a classic. Bill and Ted are considered by some to be the original himbos, lol. Great reaction!
For anyone who is curious, the song we hear during the future scene is called In Time by Robbie Robb.
If you loved this, you should definitely watch the sequels, too. Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (1991) and Bill & Ted Face The Music (2020).
This film series is one of my favourite comedies. It's so wholesome and hilarious. Be Excellent to Each Other and Party on Dudes.
Yes!! Please do the sequel as well, Bill an Teds Bogus Journey :)
Despite the title, it is also excellent! 🎸
I loved that George Carlin was in this movie! He had a bit in his stand up shows where he broke the 10 Commandments down to 2 fundamental rules which basically amounted to:
1) Be excellent to each other.
2) Party on, dudes!
I love the part where Billy and Socrates were flirting with those girls in the mall...and then Freud shows up holding a corn dog. LOL!
In an alternate reality, Ted does get sent to Military school, and becomes John Wick. While Bill goes to Santa Carla, and gets turned into a vampire.
Yes. Absolutely. This is my sixth favorite film of all time and my favorite Keanu Reeves movie. I'm glad you're doing this movie. It's so good! It's really dumb and all over the place, but that what makes it so good. Here's to hoping you do more movies like this.
Excellent reaction, Addie! One of my all time favorite movie of Bill & Ted! I always quote and reenact the same gestures as how Bill & Ted did in the movies! There are three movies in total, but this film still holds great in my heart growing up, lol! Party on, Dudes!!
Two things: one, the soundtrack for this movie is _awesome._ Robbie Robb, Extreme, NELSON (as Power Tool)? Second, this movie hits differently to a Doctor Who fan. The writers say they never saw any of the series but a time traveling phone booth? And they say "it's SMALLER on the inside"? Crazy coincidence at best.
7:49 - "Let's reach out and touch someone" - That was AT&T's media advertisement catchphrase back in the 1980's.
23:30 - Napoleon's "waterslide" presentation was his planned invasion of Russia of 1812 . When Ted said "I don't think it's going to work", he's foreshadowing the outcome of the war as this was Napoleon's most disastrous defeat.
Waterloo was the sites of Napoleon’s greatest defeat.
it's funny, I've seen this movie hundreds of times and yet I only just now understand why they assume Napoleon would be at the water park, because it's called Waterloo!
I've never caught that reference before!
This is my 3rd favorite film of all time and my favorite Keanu Reeves movie.
When I was in 8th/9th grade summer school my History teacher made us watch Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
I'll never forget it because our final test was on the movie and I got an A.
I hope that you finish the trilogy.
They're great comedy films.
21:35 Keanu has been ducking under cubicle walls for his entire career.
One thing to note Addie is that two actual musicians played roles in this movie.
Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go's was Joan of Arc and Clarence Clemons of Bruce Springsteen's E-Street Band was one of the floating leaders from the future.
Also John Waybill of the Tubes was a leader in the future.
If you love this movie... you will REALLY LOVE the sequel "Bill And Ted's Bogus Journey" Rare case where the sequel is better! Plus.. they just did a 3rd movie only a few years ago.. also pretty good!
Alex Winter was also in Lost Boys with Keifer Sutherland
12:03 This is considered one of the most scientifically accurate movies ever made, and not for this but in spite of this.
For scientific accuracy, _Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure_ is right up there with _2001: A Space Odyssey_ and _Interstellar_ and _War Games_ and _The Andromeda Strain_ and _The Day The Earth Stood Still_ and even _The Right Stuff_ and _Apollo 13_ and _The Day After._
How??? Why???
When Bill asks Rufus how the phone booth works, most movies would drop a page of BS technobabble.
If someone from 700 years ago asked you how a smartphone works, what would you say?
Rufus answers: "Modern technology, William."
And they just leave it at that.
They don't even try to explain.
It just works. Trust it.
The music from the future visit legit got me through high school alive. What a moment.
It's a silly movie and one of my absolute favorites of all time. He's no longer with us, but for a very long time I had a cat named Socrates Johnson in honor of the movie.
This movie may have even had some influence on me studying history in college.
Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey is the sequal film and is also great, there is a 3rd film that came out much later that i still need to see, you need to see the sequal
Love this movie. I like the fact that the historical figures actually speak the language they are supposed to (except Genghis Khan).
Funny thing about Lincoln is apparently he was really fun to be around. I read a biography of Millard Fillmore and in it there is a description of Fillmore being at a dinner party at a friends place and there was this young lawyer who was one of the most entertaining and funny people he had ever met. It was Lincoln.
14:00 It's safe to assume that since Bill & Ted become the "Great Ones" that all the music they listen to in the future would be their band, Wyld Stallyns...which means the "excellent music" that we hear when B & T arrive in the future is actually them...if I'm right, I always thought it was a cool idea.
My brother and I can quote this movie we watched it so many times as kids... It's also where we got most of our vocabulary from lol
RIP George Carlin (Rufus)
Plus FYI. Alex Winter (Bill) was born in England, the same as I and in the same year too. 1965. (58 now) And No I never met him. Unfortunately.
The fact that Napoleon went to the waterpark Waterloo is hilarious because of the Battle of Waterloo that Napoleon fought in
Rufus played by the late George Carlin was a well known comedian. Look up his videos. Joan of Arch was played by Jane Wiedlin who was not only a member but also one of the founders of the 80s rock band the Go-Gos.
Hi Addie, i remember wathcing this when i was young around 15-16. my friend and I both played guitar and we identified with that musician part. Anyway, i really love this movie it si such a fun ride or "Excellent Adventure" as they say. I hope you watch the sequel, "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey". Thanks for watching this!!
Alex Winter was also one of the vampires in the Lost boys!!
I love this entire trilogy.
Fun Fact 2: Joan of Arc in this is played by, jane wiedlin, who was one of the founding members of the band The Go-Go's
The Battle of WATERLOO was his final defeat.
It's me again Addie. When Abraham Lincoln began his closing address, "Four score and seven minutes ago,"it happens about the 87 minute mark of our feature. Party on dudette.
Addie, I enjoyed your reaction to this video. I am really glad that you liked it. This movie came out in 1989, could you also do reaction videos to the other 2 movies?
Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey-1991
Bill & Ted Face the Music-2020
Loved your reaction to this classic Addie! Seeing this movie in the theater with my friends when I was 17 was one of the best movie experiences of my life.
If you want more early Keanu I highly recommend Parenthood. It has an amazing ensemble cast and it's my favorite movie for so many of them, including Keanu.
*Excellent!!* 🎸
I often cite the mantra "Be excellent to each other.. and party on dudes!" as a simple rule to live life by that could replace all organised religions and bring peace and harmony to the world. It just does so much with so little!
The sequels are worth watching too imo. and the third in the series just came out in 2020 and i really thought it was very good and a perfect fit for the franchise! it's absolutely worth a watch too.
Closing out a most bogus day, I am stoked that this movie held up for you. I remember loving it when I was your age, when it was brand new. I would have feared it wouldn’t have aged well. Thanks for the most excellent reaction; party on, righteous babe!
I've seen this a thousand times and I just now realized that when Rufus tells them that the "clock in San Dimas is always running" isn't actually true. I think it was written into the script so there would still be a time crunch. However, when they go back to Sam Dimas after collecting a bunch of historical figures, they show up and interact with their previous selves at the Circle K. So in fact, they no only didn't lose any time on their adventures, but they gained a few minutes.
The Battle of Waterloo was the downfall of Napoleon. That's how they knew he'd be at the water park.
Hey, Addie! This is a classic comedy that has aged well and even spawned a reunion sequel 30 years later!
Napoleon goes to Waterloo Water Park because the name was familiar. Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo, Belgium in 1815 by the Duke of Wellington.
Beethoven was the composer who went deaf. He was eventually forced to "hear" his own music by pressing his ear to the piano to feel the vibrations.
Sigmund Freud holding the corn dog is meant to be a phallic joke but sometimes a corn dog is just a corn dog.
The 1,000,000 BC launch which startled the cavemen and their discovery of gum was meant to sort of parody the monolith sequence in "2001: A Space Odyssey".
An Oedipus Complex is when one desires intimate relations with one's own mother. The name is derived from the Sophocles tragedy wherein Oedipus unknowingly murders his father and weds his mother.
The "princesses" were probably just noble ladies-in-waiting, not historical figures. They're played by a different pair in each film of the trilogy.
Saxophonist Clarence Clemons of Bruce Springsteen's E-Street Band was the central leader in the future sequence.
The phone booth is a riff on Doctor Who's TARDIS despite the screenwriters denying it to avoid legal repercussions. Brilliant stroke of luck if their claim is true.
The sequel, "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey", is not very good but features a hysterical performance by William Sadler as the Grim Reaper by way of Ingmar Bergman! He's worth the price of admission!
The trilogy caps off with a surprisingly well-done reunion film made thirty years later called "Bill and Ted Face the Music"! The duo returns as do Ted's cop dad, Missy and Death all played by the same actors. The plot is clever and the pair finally achieve their destiny. How do these knuckleheads usher in a Pax Humanitas? Well, you've just got to see it!
dont forget part 2,
Remember buying the soundtrack cassette…can’t believe it’s been so many years lol
Asking ppl questions at the circle k was our internet explorer 😂😂😂😂
Fun Fact: The Circle K where they first met Rufus is in Tempe, AZ so I you ever happen to be there, go in and ask the cashier when did the Monguls rule China?
this is still praised as one of the best time travel making sense movies.
they warn about the watch but he forgets just like why he reminds himself.
the tv show isnt too bad either
Bill and Ted are such best friends who always look on the positive side of things no matter the situation. You should definitely watch Bogus Journey and Face the Music!
