Great example of "infectious enthusiasm." The characters (and seemingly the actors) never stop having fun, so neither does the audience.

Napoleon could speak fluent Corsican, Italian and French and after being exiled the the island of St. Helena he learned enough English to read British newspapers.

[@manny75586]

Love this movie. I literally wore my first VHS of it out. Beethoven was the one who was deaf. He started going deaf at 28. He was essentially totally deaf by 45. So for more than half of his composing career he was unable to hear it completely. And most agree his best works came after he started going deaf. The type of deafness he had is easily curable by modern standards. Also, it tends to retain your ability to hear bass longer. Which was one of the revolutionary parts of Beethoven's works. He was the first composer to extensively write parts for the double bass that were different than the cello and included a lot of sections that are very bass heavy. It made his music very unique. So it was the prototypical blessing and a curse.

[@nicholi8933]

If I remember right, he actually conducted the first part of a symphony while nearly completely deaf. I don't remember the story all that well.

[@sitadulip]

I believe, and I could be entirely wrong, he wept at the end of his premier of his 9th symphony because he thought no one was clapping at the end because he could no longer hear them.

[@jb888888888]

@@sitadulip Charlie Brown: _[reading]_ "At the conclusion of the symphony, the audience stood up and cheered. Beethoven, however, because of his deafness, could not hear them, and because his back was to the audience he could not see them. With tears in her eyes one of the singers led Beethoven to the edge of the stage where he could see the cheering people." Schroeder: **Sob** -- _Peanuts,_ October 26, 1955

[@PrimeCircuit]

I believe they hinted at it as he was the only one not reacting when the phone booth landed in the piano room.

[@Mauther]

For me, one of the great things about this movie is the complete lack of cynicism. There's not a dark or mean moment in the entire film.

[@SquigglyP]

There's no antagonist, either. There's a bit with Ted's dad, but you can't really call him a bad guy. He's just a dad who's disappointed with his son's grades. I've never been to film school, but if they aren't analyzing this film there, then they should be. The stakes in this movie are whether or not they get an A on their history report. The logic of the film is completely nonsensical. They fit twenty people into a phone booth, they fix future tech with chewing gum, the stakes almost don't exist, there's no character arcs for ANYONE, there's not a moment where they have a fight and then have to make up... It does absolutely nothing that any normal film would do, but it completely works as a film, was a big hit and people love it. It's one of those movies that just proves that the hero's journey doesn't have to be the only way to make a movie (even though it does do a little bit of that stuff...) EDIT: You know, I've thought about this some more, and I think that Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure is actually a throwback to a period of film making before the typical hero's journey stuff was so prevalent, but it's a story that's goofy and charming and fun with a lot of pop-culture references, so it's just more widely viewed by pop-culture junkies today than a lot of classic films from the pre-Star-Wars era of film making. There used to be TONS of movies made this way. We just don't watch them anymore...

[@buklau1985]

I like the part when step mom was making babies in his bedroom.

[@arieljacobsegal]

Yes it is delightfully good natured

[@masamune2984]

💯 % nailed it. It’s got a sense of intentional (by the actors and writers) innocence, but unintentional innocence by the characters that is honestly to this day still refreshing and rare. And the sequels lived up to that somehow, even with the thematic changes. All you have to do is look at films like the Dumb and Dumber sequel or Zoolander 2 to see what happens when you try and update your franchise sequels for cynical modern audiences. Then look at this whole trilogy, and see that lack of cynicism you mentioned 😊

[@wesleyfelps611]

I liked the fact that none of the historical figures seemed to mind that they were kidnapped. They just went along with it.

[@jonbjorling3337]

A detail I love about this movie is that Rufus never actually tells Bill & Ted his name, they introduce him to themselves

[@TheNeonRabbit]

Joan of Arc was played by Jane Wiedlin, rhythm guitarist and vocalist for the Go-Go's, who co-wrote "Our lips are sealed".

[@Thefoxygamer1]

She’s still a babe too

[@cabowabovhnut]

I don't think I've ever seen "The Missus" laugh any harder than she did at "Bee-thoven" lol 😆

[@lazyperfectionist1]

The Napoleonic Era ended with Napoleon's big defeat at the hands of the Duke of Wellington at the Battle of Waterloo. Napoleon Bonaparte, when he got lost in San Dimas, turned up at a water park called Waterloop. I thought it was surprising and impressive that Bill and Ted knew enough about the finer points of his military career to _guess_ that.

[@0lyge0]

Saw this with my best friend when I was twelve. My mom drove us then sat in the back somewhere and she liked it so much she got my grandmother to see it and we all went together. My grandmother loved it too. It was really rare for us to see movies in the theater more than once. This was a special film and I think part of the reason is that they are so innocent and lack the cynicism that kind of dominated movies in the late 80s. Plus it's just so much fun.

[@zman8184]

You catch the paradox in this movie? Rufus never introduces himself. Bill and Ted call him that because their older selves called him that. A possible explanation is that "Rufus" isn't actually his name. It is a title created by the great ones themselves. He is The Rufus: Time ambassador.

[@s.r.howell1297]

Woah!

Taking the Princesses completely out of their time had to have some repercussions. Their names might not have been historical but the bloodline they would've birthed could have been

Yeah, that's the Die Hard candy bar guy. This movie is an anomaly in his acting career as he neither carries an automatic nor is killed by one. For a short while in Hollywood it was actually illegal to make an action movie without him and you were required to kill him off before the end credits or you would get kicked out the directors guild. True Story.

Al Leung is so great! Love seeing him pop up (and 😵), but Ghengis will always be a favorite for me.

[@BKPrice]

So you're saying the makers of this movie broke the law?

There is a awesome documentary on al leung, try to find it and check it out

[@notjustforhackers4252]

@@BKPrice 😀No, its an 'in' joke.

[@raff1966]

Al Leung; the 80's most henchiest henchman. Fun fact, there's a reason you almost never hear him talk in any of his roles. He actually had a role as a good guy in one movie, a cop. A lot of spoken lines. His voice is totally California boy. If you heard him and didn't see him you might think he was a surfer dude.

[@Harv72b]

Also, re-watch the mall scene with Freud talking to the girls, and note how his corn dog dips lower and lower as he realizes they're laughing at him.

[@JohnJackson-mn4ts]

It was Beethoven who was deaf later in life. Story was that he cut the legs off of his piano and would lay his head atop of it, where he could feel the vibrations.

[@voltinator]

Bill and Ted's movie was quirky to its core. It actually was shelved for a year by the studio who didn't know how to market it. Also its screenplay was written out on a notepad and they just scribbled out lines they didn't need.

[@brandoncollins1225]

Freud always has something phallic in his hand. I didn't get that until I rewatched this as an adult. Lol

[@parallaxnick637]

One of the greatest pop culture moments for me was when "In Time" was reused for Mr Robot. Everyone was swooning over how great the song was and all I could think was, "Sure do play excellent music. Most outstanding."

[@masamune2984]

Right?! I was happy they used the song, and it’s a great show, but damned if people need to give credit where credit is due, like you did 😊 idk…maybe others will realize Bill & Ted used it first, in time. It’ll take time

[@andrewmccormack4295]

It's weird to think that this Keanu became John Wick but loved the reaction and fact that I've never seen the young Lady laugh so much as she did watching the movie.

[@deacongowan909]

I feel that the guy that was in The Lost Boys, Marco(same guy that was Bill from Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure), is actually Bill in another universe that came after Bill and Ted failed their history exam, Ted went to Oats Military Academy and it depressed Bill and Bill ran away from home, got strung out on drugs, drifted to Santa Carla, was bitten, and became a Lost Boy. John Wick is Ted's cover name when he joined the group of assassins so he could go away quietly without being tracked down.

[@Harv72b]

A few years after this movie came out, I was picking somebody up in Los Angeles & wound up driving her out through the neighborhood she'd grown up in. San Dimas was on the way. For some reason I'd just assumed it was a fictional city, I found it fascinating that it really did exist (and does _still_ have a water park, Raging Waters; some parts of the movie were filmed there). I believe that the "Ziggy Pig" was inspired by The Zoo, a giant ice cream sundae served at Farrell's Ice Cream locations. I went to a Farrell's once as a kid with my grandparents, and I remember several employees carrying one out on a stretcher, with sirens going off. Grandma & Grandpa wouldn't get me one. :/ Apparently their last location closed in 2019.

[@christiaanvandenakker901]

One slight correction: the original Farrell's chain closed down in 2001 and were revived by a different ownership group in 2008 before closing again like you said in 2019. I got to eat at the original chain once as a kid, and got to take my son to the revived version before it closed. Too bad they couldn't make it work.

[@Tr0nzoid]

I went to a few birthday parties at a Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour between the late '70s and mid-'80s. I heard about it closing and then saw news a few years ago of one re-opening at that same particular mall, but it was far from the original's decor and theme.

[@Harv72b]

@@christiaanvandenakker901 Thanks both of you for the updates! I was an East Coaster, don't think they ever expanded out our way, so the whole thing was just a vague memory with "Farrell's" attached for me.

The part when they go to the future always hit hard for me. That entire future society is based on their music and when they say "be excellent to each other" and "party on, dude", it is almost the same as if one were to go back in time, and see and hear Jesus's sermon on the mount.

[@masamune2984]

It’s both somehow a fun and cheesy yet (like most of the film) self-aware and fun, but SURPRISINGLY emotional and memorable scene that absolutely just SHOULD NOT WORK. And yet it does. Just like the entire film/trilogy (but that even in particular is special 🙂)

[@chrisbullard5901]

The history report not only deserves an A for the depth of knowledge and “arena rock” style presentation, but it does exactly what Mr Ryan was hoping it would do: the entire history report portrays both how historical figures would react to the modern world, but also how two bumbling Gen Xers would associate historical lessons. The introduction with Socrates as compared to Ozzy Osbourne for “corruption of the youth” hits this nail right on the head.

[@robfinlay8058]

Time traveling phone booths are always roomier on the inside than they appear from the outside.

You know I just realized? You know why this movie is also so great, it PERFECTLY shows how men learn. We don't learn through sitting in class and looking at a board. We learn through entertainment. EVERYTHING I've ever learned/retained, was when it was present in a fun/entertaining way.

[@BeDoCo1980]

I was born in '80 and this movie, as well as others ( i.e. Robo Cop, Top Gun, Spaceballs, Neverending Story, etc.), I watched many times and I deeply cherish. This movie gave me an easy way to remember how to spell Beethoven's name. (Beethoven was deaf and played piano by feeding the vibrations made by each piano key when played, if I recall correctly).

After they say "all we are is dust in the wind" (which is a line from the song "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas, in case you didn't catch that) Socrates says "Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives." That was a made up phrase said during the opening credits of the soap opera "Days of Our Lives."

Did you guys not catch the joke of the water park being called "Waterloo" after the most famous Napoleon battle? And it was Beethoven who was deaf. He wrote his most famous music when he was deaf.

[@MrBigPicture835]

The Ice Cream parlor shown is a parody of Farrel's. The last Farrel's closed in 2019. They had an item on their menu called a Pigs Trough, which was an oversized banana split.

[@oxhine]

Hey, Mr. and Mrs.! 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 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. Contrary to the film "1,000,000 BC", there were no dinosaurs around, just early man. Dinos died 65,000,000 years ago. 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. The phone booth is a riff on Doctor Who. 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 already seen it!

[@jb888888888]

According to the makers of the film they were unaware of _Doctor Who_ when they made the time travel device a phone booth. It was originally going to be a van but they changed it due to _Back to the Future's_ DeLorean.

[@oxhine]

@@jb888888888 I've heard that story and I don't buy it. I have never seen an episode of "Doctor Who" but even I have seen and heard about the TARDIS just by being alive in the world. I knew about it at the time I saw the movie as a tweener. It's common knowledge in the same way that someone who has never seen "Star Trek" still is familiar with the concept of Mr. Spock. I thought it was a clever joke turning a British phone box into an American phone booth. It's the first thing anyone thinks of when they see it if they know the first thing about sci-fi. There's no way two Hollywood screenwriters who were dabbling in sci-fi wouldn't be familiar with the concept unless they were as ignorant as Bill and Ted. I'm sure they say that to avoid any potential legal trouble. If not, it's the most miraculous serendipity that has ever occurred in cinema!

[@jb888888888]

@@oxhine Believe what you want, it may very well be that they're covering their asses. BUT in the mid/late 1980s in the US _Doctor Who_ was a very niche, cult show running mostly on PBS stations with (at least where I grew up) zero promotion. Not like today where it has been all over the place.

Reminds me of my idea for _Bill and Ted vs Dracula,_ based on these four movies existing: Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure (Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter, Billy the Kid) Billy the Kid vs Dracula (Dracula, Billy the Kid) Bram Stoker’s Dracula (Keanu Reeves, Dracula, vampires) The Lost Boys (Alex Winter, vampires)

Water parks? There's actually quite a few of those around! They are most excellent!

Steinberger guitars were big in the 80's. Tuning knobs were at the "bottom" but the bridge and nut worked the same as a regular guitar.

[@phillipsuttles1926]

The Guitars had tuning keys at the bottom past the bridge. They came with a tuning wrench

Things we knew about in 1988. Farrell's Ice Cream Parlours were popular where they offered "The Trough" for which, if you finish it, you get a button proclaiming that you had made a pig of yourself. The thing that San Dimas was most famous for was its water park, which I think was either one of the first or the biggest one in So. Calif. Socrates' lesson in Greek was the prologue to a daytime soap opera, "The Days of our Lives". And in the 50's and early 60's, college frat competitions included stuffing as many people you could into a phone booth. However, I have no idea whether they had gotten the idea for a phone booth time machine from Doctor Who -- PBS ran episodes of the show with the Fourth Doctor in the 70's.

[@michaelhawk-fitz7563]

the record for the amount of people in a phone booth is some ridiculous insane number like 37..

[@0okamino]

Which doesn’t seem like a ridiculous amount of people… until you’re crammed into a phone booth with the other 36.

George Carlin is laughing so hard about the T shirt right now I can hear him from the afterlife.

This is one of many, what I call a "Popcorn Movie", just sit back, don't think about it and eat your popcorn. ;-)

Almost the entire movie was filmed in Phoenix, Arizona about an hour from my hometown of Tucson. The water park is most excellent, still looks most like it did in the movie, the school and Circle K are all still standing today too. I’ve been to both Bill and Ted’s “houses” which are both located just off of I-10 just outside of Phoenix.

Those guitars they get at the end, they still make those types. IIRC, they're called "traveler" guitars. The tuning knobs are at the bottom, at the point of the V. From what I've seen, they're not quite as good as normal guitars in terms of sound, but they're good if you want a guitar to have with you when you travel, since they're smaller.

Not only was it Beethoven that was deaf, it was lampshaded in the movie. When Bill and Ted Show up, watch everyone else's reaction to the explosion of them arriving outside, yet Beethoven continues playing oblivious to the arrival of Mister Logan and Mister Preston (I'm pretty sure the Esquire is a family or Bill added affectation, and not official, since I doubt Bill has a passes the Bar Exam or even has a Law Degree) until they drag him away.

[@0okamino]

I think it’s just Bill’s play on his middle initial S, maybe added with a reference to Fender’s less expensive Squier brand. I’m fairly certain you’re correct that he’s not really an esquire. Just to go ahead and overthink it for a stretch, though, esquire is used by lawyers, laws are often synonymous with rules, therefore, Bill S Preston Rules!

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

"Esquire" is an old English alternative to "Mister". It may have been reserved for landowners at the time or something, but it's technically not exclusive to lawyers. Pretty much anyone can legitimately use it. But it's used in place of "Mister", never in combination. Mr. John Smith or John Smith , Esq. But not Mr. John Smith, Esq.

I'm probably just a kid at heart but I still love water parks:)
