I think the theory behind Death losing at those games is because he's only ever played chess, because that's what you're supposed to challenge him with. But Bill & Ted are crazy non-traditional guys. Or just ignorant of the customs. Or both. Especially both.

[@mrcritical6751]

My theory is typically Death picks the games and always goes with chess but after Bill & Ted melvined him he got pissed off and decided not only was he gonna leave them in hell if they lost (because that line about them staying there makes no sense as they weren’t meant to go there in the first place) but they’d be the creators of their own demise by them picking a game for him to beat them at

[@ccch5308]

My theory is that everybody who goes to death always lets him win because I know he's a sore loser

[@MoonShadowWolfe]

I thought the joke was that Death is just that easy to beat in a game, and every near-miss with death in history was having the guts to demand to play him, and then winning because he's actually not good at them at all. I thought the vibe around his line, "No one has ever won,' was that he was lying big-time. Sore losers have big egos.

Part of the success of Bill and Ted, aside from Winters and Reeves being damn perfect, is that they are not dumb.

[@LenHazell]

Thank you for such a kind tribute to a wonderful, funny and often underrated British actor. Tony Steedman who played Socrates was an up and coming sit-com star in the UK, who moved over to the US and enjoyed minor success in film and TV before splitting his time in the 1990s between both sides of the pond with his wife the truly great British Actress Judy Parfitt.

[@4Legacy]

I've always had a theory about why "the clock in San Dimas is always running". My guess/theory (especially after seeing the new trailers) is that there are multiple timelines, but only one timeline where Bill & Ted's music causes harmony, peace, AND time travel. Once the wise dudes send Rufus to "play the time game" and give Bill & Ted access to the booth, they are able to create new futures, and with it, alternate timelines. Also, taking historical figures from the past wouldn't have repercussions on the main timeline if they decided to tell Lincoln or Joan of Ark how they eventually die. Those instances would branch off into other timelines that we don't see. So, in other words, since time travel only exists in one future, the original timeline it was created on would always be unaltered and the clock always ticking. Does that make sense? EDIT: Also, Missy might be the key to everything. The "wise dudes" make the first supposed interference in the main timeline, but I wonder if Ted's dad would be more laid back about military school if Missy was with him first. Maybe SHE caused the first rift

[@Swiftbow]

Something that. I always figured it was because that was "their" present. If they went to any other time, it would be their past or future, and thus, yeah, not be in their own timeline anymore.

[@sorrenblitz805]

The Time in San Dimas is their personal timeline, as it seems time still passes universally regardless of where you go in time. Given they're able to just talk about time travel and ex nihilo Deus ex machinas it also seems as if reality is in constant fluxuation with the flow of time so all events technically happen simultaneously across infinite moments of time. That's the part in the hyper science train where my brain breaks down and starts making cricket noises

. Here is a heads up for the future of the young. Studies show a diminishing respect for the elderly. This means by the time todays generation of young are what will be deemed elderly in the future, the new younger generation of that future will have overwhelmingly zero respect for the elderly, they will probably be extremely neglectful because money will mean more to the living than the old and dying. Why spend money on those that are about to kick the bucket? I would go on with details of what the future holds for todays young, but i am tired. The elderly of today deal with mostly edgelords.

RIP to all of them, they were all awesome. **plays air guitar slowly, sadly** Edit: I didn’t know/totally forgot Pam Grier was in Bogus Journey. Look, I love that movie, but geez was she too good for it. Would that she got some more meaty rolls around this time. Jackie Brown was still eight years away.

Fair for Its Day: Casual homophobia aside (see Values Dissonance), the films had a subtle point about womens' right to consent. The Princesses choose Bill and Ted over their arranged marriages and their "happy ending" is being able to marry for love. In the sequel, the Evil Robot Bill and Ted are shown not respecting the Princesses and demanding they put out, and Bill and Ted are shown to be disgusted by this behaviour.

Years ago I met Keanu after a show his band played. My coworker had been the merchgirl for the band on part of their last tour (she worked with them for like 4-6 months) She got us back stage and I met him. He asked me what movie I was a fan of his from Bill and Ted or Matrix. I surprised him because I told him it was Much Ado About Nothing! He kind of freaked and asked how that could be cause everyone from the critics to his fans hated it. I told him it was because he at least kept up with Shakespearian actors and that was damn impressive! I love his work all of it and after meeting him and talking for almost an hour I like him as a person too!

[@MovieLover1995]

The first movie was better as a movie. The second movie, however, had a better soundtrack. It had KISS, Megadeth, Winger, Faith No More, Slaughter, etc. Other than that, the second film was alright.

[@DanielS2001]

Rufus lied to Bill and Ted about what TVTropes has dubbed "San Dimas Time." If they didn't have the motivation to complete the project and given the time machine, they would have spent months worth of time on getting the presentation done. By telling them that the clock in San Dimas is always running, it forces them to complete their assignment. The proof of this is in both the first and second films. If what Rufus said was true, they wouldn't have been able to practice their instruments and jump back to perform at the Battle of the Bands in the second film. And if it was also true, they wouldn't have been able to go back in time to set up the breakout of the historical figures from the police station (and set up the stage with the theatrics they use during the presentation.

[@Axterix13]

Not the case. It could, for example, have something like a multi-year gap before a given year becomes accessible again as an exit from the time streams. That means B&T from the future could go back and arrange the things, just not right away. However, it would still matter that B&T get their presentation done in time, because going from high schoolers to being several years older would cause problems due to how much they'd potentially age. And for the battle of the bands, that's a long freaking beard, meaning a lot of time passed. Which would support the idea that you can go back to a particular point in time, but you have to wait long enough for the next exit to be at that point.

[@Swiftbow]

As far as learning to play, you're right. But the setup stuff is them going back into their own past to get things ready AFTER they do it. Which does not violate the concept of San Dimas time.

[@funnyfakevideos5674]

[@DanBrizuela]

I got to see these films a few years ago renting the DVDs through Netflix. Really wish I'd seen them sooner and it's certainly movies that everyone should see. What makes the first so interesting is that it was originally meant for television. The second one is more memorable due to Death just being so hilarious and honestly a really great song at the end that sounds exactly like the song that could inspire peace, not to mention the funny articles littered at the end. As a side note, I thought the two aliens that Bill and Ted get help from was actually Rufus having been split in to two separate beings when he tried to stop the villain. Can't wait for the third.

"SOH'crates Johnson" is probably one of my top ten favorite movie lines. And that moment when his laughter transitions into yelps of terror when they arrive in old England. Such a good transition! :D Also, it's funny that you showed the "Avengers: Engame" clip briefly, because I'm fairly certain that even though it wasn't one of the time travel movies mentioned in Endgame, that movie followed the Bill & Ted rules of time travel. That is to say, at the end of Endgame, even though the day was saved, Captain America still had to go back and do some housecleaning, in the same way that Bill & Ted still have to set up the keys and trashcan. Otherwise, everything will unravel.

One of the things that makes the B&T movies so great is that the main characters can be the same people in any situation -- future, past, heaven, hell, limbo, high school, concert, home, and now prison. Even their evil "selves" have the same personalities, and it still works. I can't think of any other character who could move through so many different situations without feeling more or less in their own element.

[@mrcritical6751]

Yeah but the joke there was that it was anticlimactic, here it’s just anticlimactic because the budget got slashed whilst they were filming the climax. Initially it was meant to be longer with Evil Bill & Ted creating amplified versions of their fears from Hell to try and kill the duo but that was cut halfway through filming as they no longer had the budget to film a scene with stunts, animatronics and a van getting ripped open. Then the climax was meant to have DeNomolos kill Bill & Ted only for Death to bring them back over and over again because they beat him so many times
