The fates of two dumbasses is challenged by an man from their future, bent on bending their future-utopia into his world-domination.

An excellent movie. Though it does suffer from some generation-drift, it suffers far less than its predecessor. It’s not childish, but it is light enough to be “young”. Enjoyable, well-written and recommended. Grab a beer and some popcorn with your buddies and enjoy this at least once.

• Continues from Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure – (1989 movie)
• This movie was originally titled Bill & Ted Go to Hell

• This movie inspired a one-shot comic book, and then the comic book series Bill & Ted’s Excellent Comic Book.

• 9:00 — Is that Chaka Khan? Oh, it’s Pam Grier..
• 10:00 — Last is best in many circumstances. Being the opening act is hard. Being the last makes it important to beat the rest, but it is the most memorable.
• 13:30 — This scene is brought to you by Pepsi.

• 15:15 — Oh the cheek?

  • They stand up, and only Ted seems to get a lip-kiss.

• 42:00 — Infinity, Push-ups

  • “Girly push ups” have one’s knees on the floor. Because females have remarkably lesser upper body strength compared to males.
  • Also, “girl” is an indication of youth and therefore a complementary term for females, whose ego with respect to appearance to males strongly relies their reproductive value. The young have much higher reproductive value than the old, so an age-diminutive becomes complementary.
