"Be excellent to each other. And... PARTY ON, DUDES!"
NO WAY!
STATION!
Excellent!
Yes way!
That's all we needed to learn from Bill and Ted.
I remember when I visited some family in phoenix my niece was a senior in high school so she showed me the school and I stood on the stage in the auditorium and yelled “SAN DIMAS HIGHSCHOOL FOOTBALL RULES!!!!!” 😂 a highlight of my life ha ha ha
This guy right here, classy guy I tell ya.
I took the physical fitness exam for the Scottsdale police department at that high school. Didn’t realize it until I googled it to get directions. Now, oddly enough, I’m there every Sunday morning. 😂
I think what makes Bill & Ted so likeable, compared to other idiot-duos, is that they're always in good spirits, and always have an optimistic view of others. They don't laugh at or mock others, and (Spoilers) in the 3rd movie, they befriend the guy who kills them within seconds because he apologizes and asks if he can do something to make up for having killed them. Simply put, they're idiots but they make up for it by being endlessly friendly and enthusiastic.
I’d also say because unlike other idiot duos they know when to take a step back and be serious, they’re not just joke machines they can be sincere, serious and emotional which makes them more relatable
I love the first 2 Bill and Ted Movies along with the first season of the cartoon, but the 3rd movie really missed the mark with me, as in the 2nd movie they did not have daughters they each had sons, and had already saved the planet, and universe, and to only undo it all it all for a BS ending was crazy in my book. But you're spot on about why Bill, and Ted are so likeable.
@@CommodoreFan64 to be fair the creators of Bill & Ted didn’t want them to save the world in Bogus Journey, it’s well documented that the end credits montage was a last minuet studio addition that Ed Solomon and Chris Mathieson had no say in, it was just meant to end with them high fiveing. That’s why all of the news articles and magazines are just edited stills and promo images instead of the result of new photoshoots
@@mrcritical6751 either way, it made it into the film, and is thus cannon.
Columbo,as the ghost of an Xmas present to W.C.Fields, as Scrooge : " Ah, Sir, you say you have an Alibi for last night!" ( A man fitting Scrooge's disription was seen stealing from Sally Anne venders.)Scrooge: Yeah, I got two in fact, Bill And Ted". Columbo': " Would You happen to know there Surnames too?" Scrooge: "Yeah, but I'm not sure which ones TweetleDee and which ones TweetleDumb". ( They play the two Do-gooders)
RIP George Carlin. One of my favorite comedians turned philosophers
Real shit homie!!!
Incentive. Follow the rules of the book and you’ll get where you’re going in no time.
…Oops wrong flick.
Thanx to a great homie winning at the casino. I was lucky enough to once be presented with the present of being present in his presence.
A true greatness that will never be matched. It blows me away how underappreciated he and his work truly was and is. It's crazy that most people don't realize he is the man that set the standards for how television ratings are set due to language.
Philosopher?! LMFAO no 😂
We need him more then we needed him then. He was ahead of his time.
This was a most excellent movie. The historical figures in the mall was my favorite part of the movie. Bill and Ted themselves were most bodacious.
"Put them in the Iron Maiden."
"Iron Maiden?"
"Excellent!!"
I loved this movie, it made history seem fun, and Alex and Keanu had fantastic chemistry!
i failed history b/c of this movie, worth it
@@scifi_shopLEGEND
History is fun
"Be excellent to each other. And... Party on dudes!"
Abraham Lincoln
My mom was a 2nd grade teacher and made a feature length film with her kids called “Phil and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” to teach them all about history! It was hilarious and informative and obviously based on this movie but with more historical events!
You got a cool mom! Hats off to her.
That actually sounds kinda cool
Are there any existing?
I've always thought teachers should teach via music and video. Singing to rhythm is a good way to retain info.
I really wish I could see it. You still got it.
Excellent video
🎸🎶
In my headcanon, Wayne's World and Bill & Ted take place in the same universe.
Perhaps Biodome was a timeline that was mercifully erased from history.
You can add Beavis and Butthead too.
" Joan of arc aka Noah wife" 😂😂😂
I took me a moment to catch that dad joke 😂
That Ringo impression was on point. 😂😂
Another amazing fact I heard from Matheson and Solomon themselves on the comic con panel interview by Kevin Smith before Face The Music came out. They said they were in Phoenix at McDonald's before the auditions and they were stressed about finding the right pair of actors. They saw two young men in line in front of them chit-chatting and seemingly getting along great. I can't remember the whole gist of what made Solomon and Matheson say that they wished that the actors they should cast should be the two in front of them, but long story short it was Keanu and Alex!!!! It was meant to be!!
Thanks for another great video, Minty!
I want to see the 2 and a half hour cut if it exists!😂
I'd love to see a director's cut of the movie with all the deleted scenes
OMG can you even imagine if Keanu ended up playing Bill and Alex Winer played Ted.! That would have changed literally everything. 😂
Yep missed opportunity in the third one for parallel universe version of themselves
@@RichardBarkmanthe Darkhorse comics cover that more, you can briefly see a shot of multiple different Bill & Ted’s across the multiverse including prison Bill & Ted, the versions from the Marvel comics, the versions from the 2010’s comics, you see the bad future from the live action TV series I believe and there’s kinda a depressing one where you see Bill & Ted as sad old men working the counter at a fast food place
With the current multiverse craze let's hope Hollywood doesn't think of this and remake the first movie with the roles swapped, lol. ...I would pay theater ticket prices to see that. 😂
Bill and Ted is a pure fushion of 80's and 90's
If only there were a Macaulay Culkin cameo.
26:18 "Stoner Movies" -- a good "stoner" movie doesn't necessarily have anything, directly, to do with smoking weed within the movie itself; it's about the nature of the movie: how it's written/performed, the tone and the style. B&TEA is *ABSOLUTELY* one of _the_ top stoner movies (particularly as a more broad, pop-culture phenomenon vs being one of the more cult films that can be stoner movies).
This movie was a fundamental part of my life.. I was in primary school and just about to start high school.( UK)
...this movie introduced me to faith no more / Joan of arc/ Freud/ keanu reeves / George Carlin and gengus Khan lol
It was truly an amazing part of my childhood
Actually I think the faith no more reference was in bogus journey lol
I was very fond of this movie as a kid and watched it about 10,000 times.
Well, let's make it 10,001 times.
@@donkique956 DAMN RIGHT! 🤣
From losers to winners, Bill and Ted really made learning history a lot fun back in the day.
Excellent
I always loved the fact that the time machine was a phone both with the skeleton of an umbrella glued on top
"But, I am Napoleon!" Just the way he says it always makes me laugh
What? No way!
This movie remains one of my favorites of all time. I was a teenager when it came out, and loved it from the beginning. It's also one of the primary reasons why I enjoy learning history.
This is also one of my favorite movies as well when I saw it as a young teenager. Twenty years later I became a high school history teacher.
The mall they shot at is here in Phoenix AZ but like most malls it’s closed down but before they started demolishing it they hosted an event where they showed Bill and Ted 🙂
What a fun movie. Not sure when it opened, but just within the last couple of years I drove past a Circle K, unheard of in my area back in 89, and the first thing I thought of was "something strange is afoot at the circle K".
When it comes to media involving Time Travel; Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure is an absolute personal favourite of mine!!
Of course films such as 'The Terminator' & 'Back to the Future' are quintessential viewing with the latter. It warns of the dangers of disrupting time & space that will have disastrous consequences!!
Bill & Ted however does away with consequences & decides to just have outright fun with the concept!
Outright silliness & having a damn fun time with it! & also a nice refreshing take how neither Bill nor Ted EVER fall out as they're so in tune with one another & use rather unorthodox but incredibly effective problem solving in their own way!
& of course there's the late, great legendary George Carlin; whose Agnostic humour has become relevant even today!
I just wanted to say that while I was at the grocery store the other day, I saw someone with a t-shirt that said "Be excellent to eachother". Great message.
Hands down my favourite film ever. Alex and Keanu just have such a wonderful chemistry and really play well off of each other.
I would have loved friends like Bill and Ted growing up. I think that's why I keep going back to this film. It's just so comforting.
Thank you for the video. I don't know if it's on purpose, but today is actually the anniversary of the release of Bogus Journey. just thought that was cool.
The name checks out, joined 2014. Didn't say nothing until now cause you just didn't have anything nice to say.
Grew up in San Dimas when this movie came out. My brother and his friend were at the circle K in San Dimas and some hick asked them, “this where they filmed Bill and Ted’s excellent adventure?” My brother busted out laughing cause we all knew it wasn’t filmed there or our high school. The hick said what the hells wrong with him to my brothers friend lol. Great memories
Weirdly enough I can see Ringo playing the Rufus role.I could also see Roger Daltrey playing it too, although Carlin did it brilliantly.
I was 12 years old when Bill and Ted’s excellent adventure was released. It was one of the first movies I saw multiple times in the theater. It may or may not have been the greatest movie out there depending on who you ask, but it sure was a fun ride, and it’s enjoyable to watch even today.
A much needed positive youtuber in this chaotic world❤
I still enjoy listening to the soundtrack of both this and it's sequel.
Minty, thank you for doing this "10 Things" Episode. Bill & Ted is one of my favorite movies! Keep up the great work! And... Party On, Dude!
I watched this again recently, for the first time since at least the early '90s, & it still holds up, man!!! Idk about you all, but i'd rather be living in the utopia future that Bill & Ted end up creating, rather than the dreary, depressing, harsh one, that we ended up getting.
Yes.. Watched it on Tubi. I was super surprised that it holds up so well.
I could have seen Ringo playing Rufus if Carlin wasn’t chosen. Have you never seen the movie he starred in called Caveman? It’s him, Dennis Quaid & Shelly Long. It’s hilarious and so unexpected.
my mum loves that movie!
@@sahej6939 It’s really funny
I mean, Carlin and Starr are interchangeable. Isn't that right, Mr. Conductor?
@@GromMolotok Exactly! Shining Time Station!
Honestly if it was Ringo that would’ve added an extra heartfelt aspect to Face The Music, imagine their reaction to seeing Rufus again after all these years when they’re both in their darkest moment
Bill and Ted made me laugh as a kid and I would watch them as a double feature with Wayne's world. As they both party on. And were very goofy and they were best buddies. Love those kind of movies. 😊
Looking forward to this one!
Great video! Great movie. Thanks for mentioning Coronado High. I graduated from there in 1993.
This is one of my formative movies. I love it with all my heart
Minty!! You're always so well timed!! I was listening to the perfect crime by faith no more and thinking about bill and ted and then I see you've uploaded this!! Fantastic!! And a few weeks I was rewatching signs for millionth time and the very next day you uploaded your signs video!! Love you man!😂
"Iron Minty! Excellent!!!!" I love time travel movies, and this is definitely one of the most fun and inventive of them.
This movie came out when I was a kid and I loved it! I don't know why people consider it a stoner movie, I've even read descriptions of the movie that say Bill and Ted are stoners. They never once smoked anything in the movie.
Init I seen a comment above saying it was a stoner movie ¿¿¿¿¿ B&T never blazed the green x awsome film tho loved it as a kid
Missed the part about the original script? Also, they just so easily fit the 80s-90s stoner archetype.
Excellent. Totally tubular.
The acting in this is superb. Primarily because Winter and Reeves were playing themselves
I think it works very well that the two characters are similar. Its like they are combined into one character and now have a reason to speak their thoughts. Also it shows that they are very close friends that has influenced each other.
According to David Linck, the unit publicist on the film, Billy Dee Williams was actually cast as Rufus but had to pull out. And Frank Zappa was given the role... for only one day!
After that, George Carlin was cast.
As much as i loved the 3rd one, my problem with it was that it was not their music that saved the world. In part 1, it was them on the album, if it was their daughters who did it, Rufus wouldnt have told them it was their music that saved the world.
But Bill & Ted were the final ingredient needed to make it work, their guitar duet at the end is what made the song unite the world across space and time
@@mrcritical6751 Whoa!
Their daughters after having sons in the second movie. Third movie was woke trash. Everything in that movie was "womanized". The future was all women. Their helper was a woman. Their kids were now women after being born boys, The women wrote the song that united humanity after showing very clearly in the original movie that it was B&T that did it. etc....
Total shitshow of a movie.
@@jimthar17 I think it would've worked if one of them had a boy but the thing with that is the audience would be expecting them to be in a relationship.
A lot of people don't know this but, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure happens to be the greatest movie ever made
The morale of the story is to 'be excellent to each other'.
Love your content minty!
Minty's interpretation of the message of Bill&Ted is wonderful. I also think it's a beautiful idea that music can save the world.
Keanu Reeves is brilliant as Ted Logan and Alex Winter is brilliant as Bill S. Preston, Esq.😀👍
I don't know where id be without seeing at least 20 Minty uploads a day! You're the best, Minty CA!
You know what is totally excellent about Minty reviews? I can give it a thumb up before I even watch the video, and have no doubt it will most triumphant!
Saw this in the theater as a kid and its never gone away. Still one of my all time favorite movies that never got old.
Love the Ringo impersonation, brilliant!
loved these movies as a kid in the 80s and early 90s STILL love them now in my early 40s.
Come to think of it, I could totally see Ringo Starr as Rufus. But George Carlin really nailed the part.
Thanks to the Bill and Ted franchise, I've started talking like a 1980s teenager. and I'm 30
I always found it hard to separate Keanu from Ted in other movies, like point break was basically a smarter grown up Ted , Ted's riding a speeding bus, Ted's trapped in the matrix 😄
This has been my favorite movie for decades. Now in my 40s, I haven't managed to name any kids after it due to vetoes from my husband, but I have named our family dog Rufus. It is a truly excellent movie. Party on, dudes.
Great timing! I just watch Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey the other day the first time in a long time! I actually found it at the local swap shop last week! And it was brand new unopened DVD
"Be excellent to each other." Boy, do we need these words today.!!
I saw this in 1991, I was in grade 7 and lived in the country and wasn't a movie buff yet. Our most excellent socials studies teacher showed the movie in class as a fun reward day. Awesome!!! Bogus journey was also Awesome. top ten greatest teen movies for sure.
The message is indeed powerful. "Be excellent to each other... and PARTY ON DUDES!!"
Most excellent Ringo impersonation, Minty!
I still have the mini poster they gave out at the theater when it came out! I was in 8th grade and have quoted this movie for the last 30-some years!!
The movie is also a hilarious cautionary tale about marrying too young of a bride (many rich people do). If you marry a woman who's only been out of high school for several years, and you have a late teenage son, you're going to give him a MASSIVE opedius complex.
Robert V Barron, the actor who play Abraham Lincoln in Bill & Ted, also played Abraham Lincoln in Love American Style, Get A Life, and Out of This World. He was so good that he was type cast as Abraham Lincoln!
Sadly, the Circle K, in Tempe Az,was closed and torn down but before that a showing of Bill & Ted's was given to fans and general public for free. Waterloo (Golfland, Mesa Az) is still there popular as ever. Although, Big Surf is closed.
I can’t believe while talking about the cast you didn’t mention Terry Camilleri who played Napoleon. He’s from Melbourne too 😮
Never understood adult film critics critiquing kids films.. it's like asking Mozart to critique Slipknot.
And always remember.. God Gave Rock & Roll to You.. Gave Rock & Roll to You.. He Gave Rock & Roll to Everyone 🎶 🎸
Haha, the one line that caught me off guard here and made me laugh was "GoGos guitarist Jane Wielding was cast as Joan of Arc, AKA Noah's wife". Hahaha. BTW, Jane Wielding is AKA Jane Wiedlin for many people 🙂
I think my favorite scene of the whole movie though is when they return and introduce the historical figures to Missy, I mean, Bill's mom and the aliases they came up with. Dave Bee-Thoven, Maxine of Arc, Herman the Kid, Bob Genghis Khan, So-Crates Johnson, Dennis Frewd, and Abraham Lincoln.
As for the 2nd season of the cartoon I wonder if they got the idea for traveling in to fictional properties like books, movies, TV, etc., from the Robert Heinlein book The Number of the Beast. This book followed 4 people as they traveled through time, space, and universes sometimes arriving in universes based on classic books and the climax includes a conference featuring many fictional and historical figures.
My favorite 80s movie, thx for doin this video on it, I loved it! Can’t wait for Bogus Journey! “Party on dudes!”
Love your channel 🎉
Crazy, I was just talking about the Mall they used for filming. I miss that place
Interesting that Reeves got beyond the Ted character which kind of put him on the map and Winter is always recognized as Bill. I know Winter went on to do a lot of work behind the camera, so possibly that’s why we primarily think about him in that role.
What I’ve always found interesting about the series is that it features two airheads yet makes an honest attempt to explore complex ideas about time travel.
i associate Winters with both Lost Boys & Bill! Bill is daytime and Lost Boys is nighttime!
@@sahej6939 yep. Lost boys is second. Legendary mullet. However, as that vamp wasn’t really a main character in the movie I always see lost boys and think…yep, bill rockin the mullet.
Alex is also in the very funny and underrated Freaked! Which he also directed and Keanu makes an uncredited appearance.
Pretty damn good Ringo impression!
This is for sure one of my all time favorite movies, and I remember it being huge in the VHS rental market, as friends of my mother use to run the video rental store in our small town, and they said for the first few months they just could not keep their 3 copies in stock with people asking when they would be able to rent it again.
Far as the cartoon I loved the first season, but the 2nd season except for the movie/tv concept really did take a nosedive in quality, and I barely remember the TV show when it came out, but having gone back and watched the first episode here on the tubes, I did not make it 1/2 way in before saying NOPE!!
Also I'm surprised you did not talk about the Bill & Ted video games, & how they screw them up so damn bad on both the NES, and GameBoy, as I remember renting the NES game, and wanting to smash it, and flush it down the toilet being so frustrated with it!!!
About the video game, if you want to see someone talk about the game, watch angry video game nerd's video about the bill and Ted game
@@Gremlinsfan40 Trust me, I'm more than versed with the AVGN, and have seen that video, as I've followed James's work since Toilet Tuesdays on the old ScrewAttack website, and when he uploaded to GameTrailers(yeah I'm old lol!!).
however I was hoping to hear Minty give a more honest take on it as outside North America, some of central/south America and Japan, Australia was one of the few places the NES/Famicom was fairly popular back in the 80's, and early 90's, where the console was not bootlegged.
I was just at that Circle K From the movie the other day. Sadly, it’s not called Circle K anymore, now it’s just called corner market. However, they actually do still have a movie poster over the hotdog area if you ever go in there as kind of a tribute. For any people that live in Arizona in the Phoenix area it’s on the corners of Hardy and Southern.
🤘🏻🤘🏻
This movie was brilliant. The keen sense of generational intelligence and comedy combined with a positive message about education, history and responsibility… The writing and performances… It takes true talent and skill to make smart characters appear “dumb” in a likable way and vice versa. Children loved this movie. Parents loved this movie. It’s wonderful fun.
Tubular, dude!!!
I was 15 when B & T came out and I FREAKING LOVED IT AND STILL DO !! I LOVE BOGUS JOURNEY AS WELL !!! two of my ALL TIME FAVORITE movies 😁🥰😁🥰 Be excellent to each other and PARTY ON DUDES !!!!
I really think casting Keanu and Alex was the best choice they could've made. Changing the characteristics sounds like it made a better movie than the original script descriptions.
Also, I think it's considered a stoner movie in spite of there being no use in it because their look and mannerisms were copied and pasted throughout the 90s onto the stoners of any film featuring stoners. The performances that stick out to me most are Breckin Meyer in Freddy's Dead and in Clueless. Same vibe.
Wyld Stallions!
it was an excellent film. i went to the theatre not expecting much, but came out with more than my moneys worth.
most excellent!
I was one of the 12 disciples in the last supper scenes that bookend Bill & Ted Face the Music! It was a most excellent gig!
I love your channel and your videos. I haven’t seen this movie before but it is on my 80s movie bucket list. I hope to properly look it up or maybe put it on my birthday list this year. Always enjoy your videos!
Be Excellent to eachother…and
PARTY ON DUUUUUDES🤘😝
They filmed this in my hometown of Phoenix Arizona!
I miss Metro Center
Excellent Ringo impression! Party on Minty! 🎸
One of my favorite movies ever
most triumphant review minty m8
Here's one for you arena 1989
The Ringo impersonation was gold!
Damn, Connery would have been terrific. Also, great Starr impression.
Bill and Ted was what got me listening to metal. So I got a great movie, and a new direction in music. Double win!
35 years later I just figured out which one is Ted and which one is Bill. RIP Rufus
I love Bill N Ted's Excellent Adventure 🤘🆒👍😎
