It is so funny to see people who are so used to Keanu playing an action star and then watching this. We were the other way around wondering how the goofy guy was going to do action movies.
Yep, for sure. I keep laughing to myself when people will know him from John Wick or as Neo, or even Jack from Speed. I know him as Ted.
I'm still wondering that. 😁
100%! My dad never gave him a chance in action movies because I watched Bill & Ted constantly growing up and he always thought of Keanu like Spicoli from Fast Times as his real persona. Recently he watched John Wick and read up about Keanu's charity endeavours, admitted he was wrong about him XD funny how a single movie can pigeon hole an actor so much.
I really miss this Keanu. He was so funny, so much fun.
I remember the theater laughing at the trailer for "Point Break"
"I am an EFF BEE EYE AGENT!!!"
It was kind of sleeper hit that did pretty good on release but didn't become a cult movie until a few years of video and cable.
Gen X gal who has lived my entire adult life based on the philosophy of Ferris Beuller and Bill & Ted. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it. So be excellent to each other and party on, Dudes!
Well said! Most excellent!

The Holy Trinity
It’s such good and sound, solid and positive advice to give someone. And so simple. Just… Be Excellent to Each Other.
I'm a Boomer, and also live by that code. When this came out I was running a crew that mainly were recent H.S. grads or early 20s, and I was starting my 2nd childhood. We were known as the zoo crew.
I don't think that I've ever seen a more perfect meeting between reactors and a film. You two were almost genetically designed to be able to appreciate this film for the masterpiece of goofy cinema that it is.
This is the perfect comment. You're so right. I can't imagine two people better able to appreciate this movie.
Goofy dudes love goofy dudes!
Party on dudes!
The sequel is so different and a borderline horror comedy that it has to be seen. It’s so off the wall you have to check it out. Seeing George Carlin in a movie is always a good time. Jersey Girl is a really underrated Carlin movie.
Bogus Journey is quite good, but definitely don't bother with Face the Music.
@@joemckim1183 it’s Zoomer crap.
Jersey girl is a great film
Sadler as Death is worth watching Bogus Journey alone!
@@joemckim1183 pure noir
The actor who played Bill also played one of the vampires in "The Lost Boys". I loved George Carlin as Rufus. You guys would love "Wayne's World", which is in many ways like this movie. Very funny movie and one of the best films based off a "Saturday Night Live" skit. Mike Myers and Dana Carvey play so well off each other and the soundtrack is awesome.
Wayne's World and Bill and Ted are definitely the same time period. They also like the word "excellent".
Don't you mean excellent! 😂
All we are is dust in the wind: a Kansas song- "Dust in the Wind" "Like sand through an hourglass, so are the days of our lives" from a daytime soap opera that was on for like 12 billions years.
This movie was absolutely huge when it came out. And was one of the first rental movies that had wait times in weeks. Back then video stores only had a limited number of tapes in stock. This movie was pre-Blockbuster.
it actually wasn't the movie was out when blockbuster was already around in its prime blockbuster started in 85^ so by the time this was out on video blockbuster was hugely popular
@@Sammiebebop Depends on where in the country you were. Some Blockbusters did open until the mid 90s on the east coast.
@@GD-tt6hl thats true certain places on the east coast didnt open till a few years later
@@Sammiebebop
There weren’t any Blockbusters around where I was in N Carolina back then. I didn’t see one until the early 90’s.
@@NoelMcGinnis ah gotcha thats probably when they expanded to more states
Great example of "infectious enthusiasm." The characters (and seemingly the actors) never stop having fun, so neither does the audience.
Also, you guys should definitely react to the 2nd movie "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey", but just go in knowing that it's going to be MUCH weirder than the first one.
Totally! Through the ups and downs, it’s still an excellent adventure.
This is literally my comment from a long time ago to a different reaction to this movie, you prick. What agenda are you fronting?
This was such a fun movie from my youth! It didn’t take itself too seriously and it was one of those movies that’s just a joy to watch. This is the movie that began my lifelong obsession with Keanu Reeves! Lol I’m happy y’all enjoyed this for what it is! RIP to the great one - George Carlin. His absence is noticeable.
Same here with Keanu! ❤❤
Amen to all you said! RIP George, you made me fall in love with the spoken word.
He really is breath taking, that Keanu fellow.
The funniest part of this movie in my mind is that Rufus says the last line of "they get better" in terms of their music yet it shows all through out the movie that they actually were capable of being very smart after meeting the historical figures. If you look at how they presented them during their report they learned at least some things about them. They learned Socrates name and how he was a philosopher. They learned about how Sigmond Freud had an amazing affect on the advancement of psychology. They learned how Billy the Kid was an amazing gun slinger hence his use of his marksmanship shooting the light. The way they learned how Ghengas Kahn was a violent conquerer from China. And so on and so on. Which shows they were really capable of learning all along. They just needed to do it in their own unique way. Which some people need and I can relate to. So I honestly believe they could get better at playing music in the future too. Dont ever let yourself be held back by doubt. It has been the bane of my existance and I still struggle with it at times. Yet when I push through things typically go well.
P.s: rock on dk dudes this reaction was like totally bananas.
Imagine seeing this in the cinema at 19 years old. It was awesome. The music throughout was... EXCELLENT!!!!
I actually saw it at the mall but I was 24
Perfect ending to the movie too…”They do get better..”😂
Bill and Ted are so good-natured and they're so on the same wavelength it's just impossible not to love them. Absolute classic.
The bit where Joan of Arc is praying and Bill & Ted show up like gods is the best joke in the movie for me.
I remember my dad said "no wonder she had visions." 😂
"Bogus, heinous, most non-triumphant" is my favourite Bill quote when he thinks Ted is dead
Keanu is and always was my crush. Going on 30 years and still going strong!!!!!!! Love this adorable movie!!!!
The fact that I first discovered Keanu in this movie is pretty funny cuz everytime I saw him in more serious movies it was a shock to see Ted "woah" Teodore in Speed, The Matrix or John Wick 😀
Such a fun movie with stupid but good spirited characters.
Sci-fi mixed with comedy works really well I find. Back to the Future, Galaxy Quest, Bill & Ted, Men in Black, and Idiocracy are just a few great mixes of those popular genres.
And in star trek series worlks great for some reason 🧐 🤔
I love Idiocracy. If you like goofy movies PeeWee’s Big Adventure is another great comedy.
This is not only a surprisingly heartfelt and enjoyable film, it holds up _extremely_ well to repeated watches. There are so many subtle gags throughout that everyone misses on the first viewing (i.e., Sigmund Freud's corndog drooping as he notes the mall girls' "mild form of hysteria").
San Dimas is a real city in California, within the greater Los Angeles area, and really does have a huge water park (although it's not called Waterloo). I just happened to drive through on my way somewhere else once & totally fanboi'd at it. 😂 I am also completely incapable of seeing a Circle K without noting out loud that "strange things are afoot".
Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey is also well worth the watch, at which point you might as well finish up the trilogy with 2020's Bill & Ted Face The Music. And yes, the soundtracks were all incredible!
Be excellent to each other, and party on dudes! 🤘
So true! I'm still finding stuff. I never realized what Socrates was actually referring to when he was bending over on the stage for billiards.haha
The part where they lure Ghengis Khan with a Twinkie was clsssic!!! Dude!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As you can see, Ghengis very much enjoys Twinkies due to the excellent sugar rush!
@@serinthia that helped him ravage Oshman’s Sporting Goods 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The "San Dimas Mall" scenes were filmed at the Metrocenter Mall in Peoria, AZ (right outside of Phoenix). Sadly, the mall has permanently closed and is being demolished. As soon as I moved out here 20 years ago, one of the first places I went was to check out this mall, all because of Bill & Ted.
I used to live right by Metrocenter mall, was awesome in it’s day
I wonder what became the area where the Metrocenter Mall once stood?
@@lucienhalf7105 I believe they're going to build apts or condos...not completely sure, though.
Some of the scenes were filmed in Mesa, AZ (the bowling alley and the water park), and a few in Scottsdale, AZ (the police station and the wild west). The mesa ones are still there. I think the Scottsdale wild west one is long gone in favor of housing developments, as many things in the phoenix areas are these days.
@anwelei they just closed the circle k that was in tempe.
This movie is why Keanu says ‘whoa’ in every movie he is in. His biggest Easter egg. From now on you will catch yourself waiting for him to say it in all his movies.
When this came out they had tons of field trips to see it in theater, as it inadvertently actually teaches history. Best day of school ever. You've gotta watch the rest... they're just as insane and unpredictable. Highly recommended.
"That lady in the car said" lol Gen x Google 😂
It really is most triumphant how this movie and its wacky time gags totally hit so good after all this time :D
You can never watch the jump program from the matrix quite the same way. Keanu's "Woah" is legendary.
This movie was meant for you two 😊 party on dudes, a most non heinous reaction 🎸
YES!!
One of my favorite movies as a kid!
They filmed it on location in my hometown of Phoenix Arizona!
It’s sad that metro mall is closed down now
Saw this in theaters as a 13 year old and yeah, LOVED it and it sure defined my early teens though I didn't catch all the jokes LOL. They filmed a lot of it in my home state around Phoenix. Saw the third one in theaters on my 45th birthday. All three had great soundtracks!
My head cannon is that John Wick is an alternate history where Ted is sent to Military School and his dog is named Bill
Honestly, Everything you guys said about this film is 100% true, but you know what I love the most? Just how positive Bill and Ted are. This movie is so optimistic, and everyone is just really uplifting. I don't even know why but the scene in the future almost makes me cry. It's just so encouraging and hopeful in a weird way. I dunno man. We need more films that are just there to instill people with good vibes and encouraging words without it being deathly serious.
Just... be EXCELLENT to each other.
Please watch the whole trilogy! They’re all worth it and add something special
Eh the last one was okay not the greatest of em all
Third one is a rare example of a nostalgia sequel that doesn't completely suck. It's worth watching.
It’s just too bad EVH wasn’t healthy enough to join them in 3 (RIP)
I think the thing with the third one even though I enjoyed it and was happy to watch it, it just wasn't really necessary lol but still a good time for a fan of the franchise and actors
Face the Music literally contradicted the first 2 and ruined the characters.
This movie is the reason it took me a little while to take Keanu Reeves serious as an action star lol. I can hardly see him on screen without picturing Ted on stage “Whoooa”. I have great memories of watching this with my brother and playing air guitar.
Classic!
I’ll never forget what my aunt said about this movie when I first heard of it as a kid. I asked her what it was and she said the name & said “it’s funny. It’s Stupid, but it’s funny”. 😆😆😆
To me this is the Forrest Gump of comedy. They are lovable because they are so innocent... it's not that they are stupid, they are naive and lost but at the end they have a heart of gold.
The musician cameos are fun. Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go's plays Joan of Arc. The three future people standing on the throne were credited as The Three Most Important People in the World. They are Clarence Clemons of the E Street Band, Martha Davis of The Motels, and Fee Waybill of The Tubes. Those of us hooked on MTV at the time immediately recognized all of them. Ironically, none of them are featured on the soundtrack, which is, as you observed, really great.
It is one of my favorite comedies from the 80's. My friend and I had our minds blown when we watched this movie and I have loved it and the sequels ever since.
This film runs neck-and-neck with The Princess Bride for Most Charming Film Ever. It's sweet and innocent and that's why it's so loved. Also, Ted is pretty much the embodiment of Keanu's first ten years as an actor. _This_ was what everyone thought of when they thought of Keanu. Check out some of his early films and you'll see a completely different guy from what you expect. "Coltish" is the best term I can come up with describe him - he had that kind of loose-limbed, clumsy, sweet aura. That's how I first thought of him, and I miss that guy. He was so much fun.
ETA: The park's name is WaterLoops, by the way. :D
A great classic and seeing Keanu smiling and having fun is awesome.
The Beethoven piano scene is actually Nuno Bettencourt from the band Extreme playing the guitar piece "flight of the bumblebee"... he's a really good guitarist!!!
It's Play With Me, Flight of the (Wounded) Bumblebee is a different Bettencourt/Extreme track.
This is probably one of my favorites. I love how Bill & Ted are so clueless but at the same time, their ignorance is just so funny and sweet. I never looked at the whole “time travel-fashion” the way y’all did. You have a point. They didn’t care bc they just wanted to get their “Historical Babes” lmao 😂 this is such an absolutely fun, funny and most Triumphant, Totally Excellent movie! I’m so glad you got their “vibe”.
When my daughter was about 14 or 15, I tried to get her to watch it with me. She didn’t want to watch it, but as she was doing her homework, little by little, she’s laughing at all the jokes and she was hooked! ❤
Glad you guys enjoyed this so much. The second one is also excellent.
It’s bogus!
@@brettg274 STATION!!!
Death!
They kill themselves dudes
Most Triumphant !
Fave quote: "The only true wisdom consists of knowing that you know nothing"
(pause)
Ted: "That's us, dude!"
My whole family used to watch this when I was a kid. I had aunts and uncles quoting this movie left and right.
Al Leong, who played Genghis Khan, is best known for playing some form of henchman in 'every 80s action movie'. I believe he's a stunt coordinator nowadays.
This movie was so weirdly present through my life - the music from the future sequence, In Time by Robbie Robb, legit got me through my teens alive. My mother quoted the film in a speech at my wedding. "Be excellent to each other." It's such a simple, positive message, and that's why it endures so perfectly.
OMG! I forgot how *fun* this movie is. Watching you watch it for the first time is a treat.
8:52 ok, you get points for that one. That was quick and hilarious.
This makes me so happy that y'all are watching it!
The bit about his dad's keys is brilliant!
Definitely need to do the sequel
This movie is quiet genius. There were so many teen bonehead comedies that attempted to replicate this formula that Bill & Ted are almost lost in the deluge of their sub par imitators. This movie is smarter than it seems, charming, and delightfully funny. It is not too crude and Bill and Ted have such a joyous innocence and kindness you can't help but love them and root for them. This is the best movie of the series but there is plenty to love in the sequels. There was even a short lived Saturday morning cartoon back in the day.
Bill and Ted are human labradors. Dumb but perfectly loveable, and always cheerful.
Fun Factoid: The trailer for the third movie came out on June 9th (6/9) at 6am pacific, 9am eastern. (again 6-9). 69 Dude!
There are 2 sequels to this movie. Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey and Bill & Ted Face the Music
This was the Keanu of my childhood. When he started doing action and serious roles, I had issues because I couldn't help but seeing him as a comedy actor.
The sequels are very different. But not bad movies in their own rights.
It took me so long to lose the image of this version of Keanu. Why the "Whoa" moment in the Matrix seems to bridge young Keanu to action Keanu
The sequel is one of my favorites of all time. This is a feel good classic. It is most triumphant.
I'm pretty sure George Carlin improvised his entire opening monologue. It's just so his kind of humor.
A few years ago, I participated in an informal table read of the _Bill & Ted_ script (I was Billy the Kid). It was tremendous fun. The person reading So-Crates, especially, had us in stitches by enthusiastically exclaiming random Greek words any time they had a line.
I laugh as hard at this movie today as I did when it first came out. I remember watching it with my dad when it came out on video, and he laughed so hard. It's hard to find a comedy that different generations can enjoy, but this is one. It's clean, corny, and excellent
I so enjoy watching you two, always great reactions.
Glad you guys loved this one. It's always been one of my guilty pleasures. But to me, the best part was when Lincoln said "Be excellent to each other" to the crowd. What a world we would have if everyone listened to that.
This was one of my favorite movies as a kid! I watched it so many times and never got sick of it but I also was crushing on Keanu bad!
EXCELLENT!!!
As soon as I saw the thumbnail for this one I got excited, I knew you were gonna love this movie.
Ok.. If you guys love this one... You MUST check out the sequel Bill And Ted's Bogus Journey!! To me.. It's even funnier than the first one!! Later you have to check out the 3rd movie that came out in 2020.
I’m having a crappy week so far and your reaction was exactly what I needed. You guys crack me up! Thanks for reacting to this movie, it was one of my favourites as a teenager!
"The French could fight?!"
I laughed so hard at that!😂
Wow. Saw this when it first came out and maybe once since then. Ready for some memories
I love it when these bros enjoying and appreciate good classic comedies. That's what make this channel great 😃
Yay!! I’m so glad you guys enjoyed this movie!
Loved how much you were into this movie! It never fails to make me laugh and is SO quotable!
I’m so delighted you guys loved this. The Bill and Ted films are a cornerstone of my Xennial childhood. We quoted both movies so much growing up. I highly recommend you watch the second one, Bogus Journey. It’s a little darker but still hilarious and a good continuation of the storyline. I can take or leave the recent “Face the Music” film. It felt like a money grab playing off the nostalgia of the first two, and I’m sick of that nonsense.
Unfortunately, I know the decade long effort that it took to get the third movie made. The final script was like 1/4th of the original ideas. Financing obstacles/partners forced them to keep cutting their budget and rewriting to get something at all made. And even when they started production a financier bounced and they needed to find an angel investor just to get profuction rolling. The 3rd movie had its own crazy adventure to get made. I was lucky enough to be on set a for a few days. It was a most triumphiant experience. Hanging out with Anthony Carrigan in an excellent android suit, for example, was a unique blast.
Face the Music was garbage. It unmade the first two, all to force some girl power BS.
😂 I can't wait for you guys to react to all 3 parts. This was most needed dudes.
I have a friend who was stabbed multiple times about 20 years ago. As he sat in his bed at ICU he came across this movie on the tv. He loved Bill and Ted as we all do, and said seeing it in the hospital he experienced a great relief and enjoyment as if the movie was walking him thru the worst of his injuries, and not long afterwards made a full recovery. Without saying it’s medical science, you could say it helped, as well as the gallons of water he drank daily lol✊
I was 21 when this was in theaters. I don't know where the time went. Glad you enjoyed the movie. I've always loved it.
Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey is a right of passage. You can't watch the excellent adventure without the bogus journey. It's like watching the Yin without it's Yang.
This movie was hilarious the especially how Bill had such an extraordinary vocabulary,but couldn't pronounce the historical person's names.thanks for watching this it has been years since I've watched it.
The second one is such a departure from the first, but that’s what makes it so great! Hope you guys check out “Billy and Ted’s Bogus Journey”!
My best friend and I saw this in the theater back in 1989 (Senior year). This movie was huge! So glad to see you guys enjoy the movie just as much as we did back in the day. You're right, the soundtrack was amazing. It was actually the first CD I ever bought. Guess what, I still have it; and it is in my car when I need a dose of happiness. The world would be a great place if we all would follow Bill & Ted's advice: Be excellent to each another!
Always loved that scene where Billy The Kid and Socrates try to pick up girls at the Mall, but then Freud comes along and messes it all up for them. Great stuff. :)
“Bogus Journey” is so good, a fantastic sequel and possibly an even better soundtrack. Haven’t seen the last one yet but I heard good things.
Comedies like this succeed when they have heart. This, Wayne’s World, Austin Powers, etc work because they have it.
One of my all time favorite movies. I still pronounce the names as So-crates & Beeth Oven in my head & just smile. A lot of us did talk like them at the time so we completely understood what they were saying. 🤣🤣🤣 “Whoa” was Keanu’s catchphrase in many movies.
I was 13 when this came out and so Keanu has always been Bill having weird violent adventures the past few decades.
The sequel a few years later was fun but you may now understand how HUGE it was when the 3rd movie came out a few years ago with Bill and Ted now in their 50s.
Keanu with his career as it is stepped back into black stallion.
I happen to work at a Circle K now, its awesome to quote "there are strange things afoot at the Circle K" around a mix age group of customers to see who laughs
Bogus Journey is one of those rare as good or better club members as a sequel,
Bill's actor is Sean Penn's brother btw,
Had a great time rewatching with you guys, it was a fun time in the theaters too, this is how most Gen X's met Keanu and we still adore him now🤗 I'd love to see him use the "woah" line in a modern comedy as a call-back❤
Greatest soundtrack ever. All unknown bands at the time. That jam from the mall chase scene was by Extreme off their first album. When this came out, I was working at an amusement park running a ride in a dome with lights and music. Played this soundtrack from beginning to end. Shark Island, Big Pig, Love On Ice, searched out and found all these bands.
This movie came out my senior year of high school. loved it. I ended my commencement speech by channeling Lincoln "Party On Dudes!"
Classic man, one of my favorite movies growing up. Real nostalgic!
Love this movie so much. And as much as I love it, I love the sequel just as much. Hope you guys give it a watch, too!
The air guitar flourishes were done by none other than Steve Vai.
The tasty guitar in the mall scene was Nuno Bettencourt with the band Extreme.The song is "Play With Me". Nuno is a killer and tasty guitarist!
This is one of my most excellent top movies. Party, on dudes!
Fun fact: When Rufus rips that solo at the end, it is actually Eddie Van Halen. Excellent!
This isn't my favorite movie you've watched, but it's now my favorite one to watch along. The fun you had watching it was infectious.
This is also one of my favorite movies, it was hilarious and even though Bill and Ted aren't the most intelligent they're kind, wise, and genuine. I remember forcing my older sister to take me to see this. She was so pissed she had to and at the end thanked me for making her see this.
In the original script, the time machine was a 1969 Chevy van. The filmmakers thought that was too similar to another time travel movie who came out before this movie.
This movie, along with Back to the Future, are by far and away my favorite movies of all time. Gawd how I miss the 80's! We adopted all kinds of phraseology like "totally radical", "awesome", "gnarly", etc... it all came from SoCal surfer/skater/valley culture (we were wearing vividly colored Ocean Pacific (OP), Hobie, Body Glove, all the surfer threads even in the middle of Texas for goodness sake) and it made it's way across the nation.
It was weird back in the 90’s to see Keanu change from this into an action star. Especially when he was cast in the 90’s Dracula movie - you spend the entire movie expecting him to go “Woah, that dude’s a vampire”
This is how a lot of us were introduced to Keanu Reeves...Still one of my favorite Keanu movies! Great Reaction...great to see that it's still funny after all these years.
You guys missed the 'Socratic Method' joke at the start. Best line in the film. :)
One of my favorite comedies of all time as well, so glad you guys finally discovered it! Please watch the sequel, it's hilarious too.
One of my favorite childhood movies. Also loved your reaction.
