Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey (1991) | First Time Watching | Movie Reaction | STATION!

[@nickgjenkins]

William Sadler's Grim Reaper is one of my all time favorite movie characters. Absolutely a GOAT comedy performance.

[@animefan25]

That character pops up in an episode of "Tales from the Crypt".

[@Hiraghm]

he's much better in this than he was in Die Hard Too

[@jasoncaldwell5627]

An amazing and diverse actor.

[@Charlee1776]

Agreed! Also, Death makes 2 the best of them in my opinion.

[@ObSoLeeT666]

i wish i was related to him lol

[@RetroRobotRadio]

If you think about it, the reason they became world famous overnight was because Denomilos put the camera feed on every TV across the world, and they used his phone booth to go back and study music. Without him they would never have changed the world!

I love the Reapers comment “You might be a King or a little street sweeper, but sooner or later you dance with the reaper” it’s so so true. You can be the most powerful person in the world but eventually you will pass.

[@gluuuuue]

The performance by the actor playing Ted's dad when he's possessed by Ted then switching back was pretty incredibly perfect, as ridiculous as it was.

[@RetroRobotRadio]

The earliest use of "Not!" dates back to books from the late 1800s, but it was used here and later in Wayne's World, both of which made it popular.

[@normlee6566]

The introduction of Death for me, made this film. Twister and electric football scenes always make me grin. Plus, the head future guy was also the main villain in Lethal Weapon 2.

[@76063co2]

When they proposed using a 25 cent, toy ring, and the Mrs said, "Aww, how sweet".....my immediate thought for Hubby was, "Dude, do not let that one go." BTW, I think what popularized the use of the response "NOT" was Wayne's World on SNL. Kind of the same characters.

[@cypher515]

I think the unsung hero of this movie is... Steve Vai. Does all the 'air guitar' licks or so I have been told, and does the intro to the final song (which blends into KISS's "God Gave Rock 'n' Roll to You II"; oddly enough people have had to mix the solo and the song together, they never released it in that state).

[@LordLOC]

William Sadler absolutely stole this movie. He was perfect as Death and I was really glad he came back (even if it was just a small cameo basically) for Face the Music. And like Mr Movies, this is my favorite of the bunch for sure also. I'm older than Mr Movies so the first movie I was certainly old enough to remember seeing in the theater etc. and I love the first movie but this one is all nostalgia and I loved the comedy way more. One of the most underrated scenes in the entire movie imo is Ted possessing his father - the actor who plays his father did an amazing job of doing Ted as an old cop dude. It was so fun. And yes, playing games with Death, top tier stuff. Best 3 out of 5?! STATION!

[@had1toomany114]

Whatever you said, set my Alexa off also. She said "here's what I found." Then listed something on the screen about the movie "Be Cool".

Buffalo NY’s own Bill Sadler is such an good & versatile actor..Obviously from being “Death/Grim Reaper”..To being Colonel Stewart in “Die Hard 2”..& co-inmate Heywood in “The Shawshank Redemption”..

[@shsrpr]

15:46 This little Chester A Arthur movie run you guys are doing is great. First there was Chester A Arthur as Abe Lincoln in the first Bill & Ted, then Chester A Arthur almost explodes in Die Hard 3, now the ghost of Chester A Arthur in Bill & Ted 2. Can't wait to see what other Chester A Arthur movies you have in store for us. 😀

[@gregwodzynski941]

William Sadler doesn't get enough credit as The Reaper. It cracks me up it's the same guy who plays Colonel Stewart in Die Hard 2. And I'd either play Clue or Domino's.

The name and word Station came from when the writers deleted a scene in the script that took place at the Police Station, but they accidentally left the word "Station" hanging there all by itself. They were drunk when they noticed it and started randomly saying "Station!" and it became the name of the alien and all it ever said.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

[@Tr0nzoid]

That video for "Epic" by Faith No More was in heavy rotation on MTV for a while in 1990. Kicking the new "futuristic" decade off, it was one of the songs that felt on the cutting edge with its rap-rock sound. By the time this sequel came out, the Bill and Ted cartoon was on Saturday mornings and they had the Bill and Ted's Excellent Cereal. Probably the most popular songs by Primus, one of the bands in the Battle of the Bands, were "Winona's Big Brown Beaver" and "My Name is Mud."

[@blacktronlego]

I'm told Wayne's World on SNL did then 'not' thing first. It was certainly used a number of times in the Wayne's World Movie, but that was after this. It's always fun to see an actor playing another actor's character. It happens a fair amount in fantasy and sci-fi, not so much in other genres. Does it really matter that the ring is cheap if the emotion and meaning behind it is genuine?

[@digitalranger4259]

Little Tidbits: The movie is a parody of The Seventh Seal, a classic movie. Bill's granny is played by Alex Winter. The song at the end, God Gave Rock And Roll To You pt 2 by KISS, was only available on the soundtrack for decades. The location where BnT are pushed off the cliff is called Vasquez Rocks Park, Its been used in dozens of films, and it's about 45 minutes north of downtown Los Angeles.

[@Novaargh]

This is one of the most wholesome movies ever made. i love it, Alex winter, plays his part so perfectly, and picks it up exactly the same in the 3rd one Keanu, not so much.

Doing the song at the end of the movie is KISS with God Gave Rock and Roll to You which would appear on their next album Revenge, 5th track in May of 1992, and speaking of KISS you and the Mrs. should watch Detroit Rock City! It has a lot of famous bands in the soundtrack.

- I think this is the first time anyone ever recognized the actor playing the main villain from THE MIGHTY DUCKS, and not as the "Diplomatic Immunity!" guy from LETHAL WEAPON 2 🤔 - While I'm not crazy about this movie's plot, I do appreciate how bold they were in not just doing the same stuff from the first one. That being said, I think I would've been down with revisiting more historical figures. THAT being said, the scenes with the Reaper were EXCELLENT! 😆 ---- "Why is he still calling her 'MOM'?!" ... Because you divorce spouses... but NOT children. 😇 - While the WAYNE'S WORLD sketches on SNL were using "NOT!"... a LOT... technically the WW movie came out a year AFTER this one, so I think you're right cowboy man!

[@Fettman89]

I definitely agree my favorite is the first one, but I don't dislike the 2nd one either, Death is such a random and awesome character to throw in the mix, but he fits right in after he loses and loosens up a bit. I also agree with Mrs. Movies it felt like a missed opportunity to meet at least some of the characters from the first movie in Heaven, it would have made total sense, but at the same time, they probably only had that one shot and probably wanted to show new characters to keep it fresh. which at the time made sense but watching it now.

She's definitely "heard' Faith No More even if she may not have heard of them. Some of their songs like Easy or Epic are everywhere. It is strange that the name isn't familiar. Could Mrs have been in some sort of a coma till the year 1998 when they split up then from 2009 till today when they reformed and is only roused long enough to record these videos and never sees anything of the outside world?

[@uosdwiSrdewoH]

Love this one. Excellent Adventure coasts on nostalgia a bit more in people's minds I think. For me I don't enjoy watching it as much as I do this one. Once things they get the phone booth it's kind of pick up historical figure, say name wrong, they act weird, rinse, repeat. That's reductive but it does drag a little during what should be the most interesting parts when they go through time. I'm far more interested in what's going on back at home for most of the movie. While I don't think most people hold Bogus Journey in a special place like the original I think it's superior. They didn't just do the same thing over again. This thing has so much creativity and on it's fairly limited budget it knows how to stretch that money. Each new location is visually interesting. The performances are stronger this time. Basically I love everything about this movie. The sequence where they face their own personal hell is short but unforgettable. I could point out things I love in every scene but I'll leave it there.

I used to watch it as a kid and always thought of it as Mighty Ducks then when I tried to look for it I could only find the sequels. For some reason the first one is called "Champions" and when I'd go to find it at the video store the idiots at the desk who should know these things would tell me they couldn't find it. I think one day I was just scouring the shelves and stumbled upon it. That was the beauty of video stores. You walked around and something would catch your eye and you'd discover something you may never have found. Doesn't work the same with streaming.
