The Bill & Ted Movies Are Totally Awesome Dude!

As far as eighties comedies go, very few are as beloved as Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. It helped make Keanu Reeves a star, and his chemistry with Alex Winter remains a delight to watch thirty-five years later. But the sequel, Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, is probably even better, even if it wasn't as big of a hit. In this compilation, we take a look at Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, and try to determine which of the two stands the test of time the best.

‘Be excellent to each other’ still holds up as good advice

[@trinaq]

Preach, I still quote this line many years later.

[@user-be7tc2bd6e]

AGREED.

[@divinedelaware7541]

Great advice

[@smistgoman]

Me n my bro still use it to this day

[@SnarkNSass]

I say it a lot... ❤

[@eronelnosnhoj5545]

My mom suggested I go see this when I was 15 with a group of friends I had a sleepover weekend with...I groaned at the suggestion and ended up falling in love and fangirling it all these years later and witnessing the development, filming and watching the third installment which debuted on my birthday. Felt like such a meta gift from Bill and Ted themselves. ❤

[@trinaq]

Alex and Keanu were perfect casting for Bill and Ted, despite being in their twenties when they first portrayed the dim witted, but lovable teens. George Carlin was perfect for Rufus as well.

"all we are is dust in the wind, dude" A lot of my personal philosophy is borrowed from this series

These movies are a vital part of my childhood, and definitely one of my favourite time travel series. Forget the TARDIS, I always wanted to use the telephone box from this franchise.

[@negativeindustrial]

The night after I saw this movie I saw that phone booth at the Circle K at the end of my street. Haven’t seen it recently, though.

I saw a Circle K in a You Tube clip just half an hour ago and I blurted that line out loud. 😂😂

I love both films equally ❤️ They are both brilliant classics!! I was lucky enough to be working at a movie theater when Bogus Journey came out in high school! I saw that movie so many times! Cleaning the theater was a blast to that soundtrack! 👏😃❤️🎬👍👍

[@simplysteve68]

There was a 3rd movie released in 2021 or 22, Bill and Ted: Face the Music! I haven't seen that one yet.

[@SnarkNSass]

The 3rd movie is actually real. JIC you thought it was just a burning desire.

I was 15 and 17 when these two EXCELLENT movies came out and OF COURSE I fell INSTANTLY IN LOVE with Bill and Ted … I was already a big Keanu fan and also loved Alex as well so these movies were a big part of my teenage years ❤

[@jsinjapan1689]

Bogus Journey had the best ending. The outro music with the newspaper and magazine clips of the immediate and near future showing how they became the figures that Rufus was talking about in the first movie. It showed the birth of a future worth living in and worth possibly causing a paradox to make sure happened.

[@Troy-McClure81]

I still remember seeing Bill&Ted with The Burbs double feature at the Drive-in as a kid...Been a Keanu fan since Dude! Bogus I still have on my free DVD from Pizza Hut... Station!

My brother and i had Excellent Adventure recorded on VHS from the television. As the years went by, the adverts became just as entertaining as the movie haha

[@Mr.FrodoBaggins]

Just wanted to let you know it’s MAY-sa. And metro center was awesome but was a shell by the pandemic. It was like two shops and indoor playground when COVID rolled through. I grew up in that area, and loved going to hang out there. Over the years there were many attempts to breathe life into the place, but it slowly feel apart. Major bummer, I think they are converting into some sort of office space

[@TheBathrobeWizard]

That is Most Heinous my dude. Much sympathy for your memories

[@abyss9316]

Devil's Advocate was by far my favorite 90s Keanu Reeves movie besides The Matrix..... The best part is definitely the ending a lot of twists and turns Al Pacino is great has extremely memorable lines it's one of my favorite movies of the 90s

[@SnarkNSass]

Yesssssssss 👍🏻 My pick for best movies ever!!... Granted, the First one carries a lot of weight. The Third one.... Brought it all together and I got the Closure I truly needed. I know it sounds like a joke or that I'm a lunatic... Though I just may be a lunatic at times, it's no joke. It's a long long story.... I'm not gonna tell. But even a silly slacker movie can become a Life Altering influence. #billandted #peace #ourfuture

[@voodoochild1975az]

A great story involved the writers at a fast food joint right before shooting started. They were concerned because they had no part in casting and actually played Bill and Ted themselves in sketch comedy shows before it turned into a film. They saw two dudes laughing and joking in that fast food restaurant and said 'See? Those guys would have been perfect'. Unknown to either, it was Alex and Keanu, the leads they hadn't met yet. Once they were introduced days later, they knew the casting was perfect. Also Mesa is pronounced May-suh

[@jasonmartin7137]

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure is my favorite movie. I was 14 when it came out, so I had no adulting to worry about in life. 😁 And as other's have mentioned- BE EXCELLENT TO EACH OTHER should be a world renown philosophy. Party on, dudes!

[@danielgraziadei5204]

Great break down! Have you done one for the Kevin Smith movie-verse?

[@archangelmichael1978]

As a GunTuber enthusiast, I can tell you that Keanu went through all of the training and gun courses to master his John Wick form of Gun-Fu. Keanu is legit. He's the real deal now. If you F around with Keanu, you'll find out. And if you do decide to invade his home, whatever you do, do NOT kill his puppy. I can't stress this enough. 😂

[@boredom.victim]

I agree about the 90 minute runtime but do you think Oppenheimer would've been any good as a condensed version? or even been feasible as a trilogy?

[@PozerAdultRacingTeam]

I have all those movies on DVD.

[@ValleyOfTheWindFan06]

Happy 35th anniversary to Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure Excellent film Joblo do a video on River's Edge also featuring Keanu Reeves i would love to see a Revisited video on that film you guys are awesome.

[@FuzzWoof]

I agree, Bogus Journey was definitely better than Excellent Adventure. The first movie was great, but the second took Bill and Ted to the full extreme of their absurdity and I absolutely love it.

[@Quirky_QF]

They're two very fun movies to watch, especially this day and age when every movie has to have 'meaning' and 'thought-provocation'.

[@JoBloOriginals]

I’d say Bogus Journey actually does have a lot of meaning though.

The movie that nobody talks about that they were both also in is the underrated Freaked with Keanu as Ortiz The Dog Boy.

[@BainesMkII]

Excellent Adventure is a classic. Bogus Journey is a divisive classic that I think was hurt by some cuts/changes. Face The Music is hurt badly by cramming the plots for two full movies into a 92 minute run time. One "movie" is the daughters' remake/homage of Excellent Adventure, while the other is the fathers' searching for the song along with the mothers' subplot. Either plot would have worked as a singular movie. Combined as co-main plot lines they needed at least 2 hours run time to live and breath; having only 90 minutes together meant both felt chopped to bits to fit.

[@danteshollowedgrounds]

This was the closest Keanu came to playing himself 😂 (other than actually playing himself)

[@RogueCarrot]

Charlie Sheen not a comedian? Major League came out the same year and Hot Shots was a couple years later. Sheen would probably have been the better choice from that list. But Carlin is king. He was the best. There's an alternate reality out there where Sheen did Bill and Ted instead of Major League. lol

The stuff with the step mom is too messed up imo. Very uncomfortable. That might be the point, but it seems to have no purpose existing within the narrative other than to fuel a weird fetish these writers have. Pretty freaking weird, and makes it hard for me to recommend this series to anyone lol

Keanu made a lot of interesting films in the 80's and 90's, but nobody wants to talk about them. It's always the same three films. BORING.
