This movie reflects a time back when filmmakers weren't afraid to be creative and go against the norm, didn't have a list of check boxes to fill, and just made something that they thought would be fun.
No, it reflects a time when people who made money with the first film were given more freedom to make the next... nothing really changes, in other words. You just don’t remember all the stuff that wasn’t like that.
@@Me4-gc8qs 7 versions yes, but across multiple generations. It wasn't like parallel realities where the same person exists more than once. There was only one "Neo", but in previous versions of the matrix before Neo was born, there were others that fulfilled the role of "the one" This is totally off topic. lol
I love it when a sequel is a completely stand-alone movie that's simply the further adventures of the characters and you can watch the movies in any order you want (a la Indiana Jones).
That's awesome, I just always had a passion for history because of good teachers, but I loved the movies growing up. But I've felt if you can joke about history but be honest about the fact we elevate historical figures, but in all reality they're just people, they had flaws.
This One of the Most Underrated & Amazing Sequel ever Made, that both 1st & 2nd film are The best and are watchable fun, Bill & Ted Rulez..... Can't wait for Bill & Ted Face The Music.
William Sadler truly has phenomenal stage presence. Who could forget him as the masterful villain Colonel Stuart in the brilliant "Die hard 2" (another one of the greatest sequels of all time). It was logical indeed to end "Bogus journey" by making him the bass player - which, as we all know, is the coolest position to hold in any band.
I'm looking forward to the new movie!!! My son (who is 30), still quotes "station!" whenever he finds something cool...lol. He quotes movies all the time, especially his favorites.
It's all the better for being different. The 1st was a perfect time travel movie and this was a follow up that took the travel to it's extreme. Really looking forward to the new one!
The novelization is worth reading. It really helps put the deleted scenes in context. The "bombs" are actually tubes containing the versions of the General, Granny, and the Easter Bunny. It also explains that Ted's fear comes from a nightmare he had as a child. Appearently he ate his little brother's Easter candy and his guilt gave him a nightmare in which the Easter bunny tries to kill him. It also makes the Granny scene somewhat sad as it was explained that Bill felt guilty about this because she was really saddened by his rejection and died a few days later. Really worth the read if you can find it. Considering that evidence exists that these scenes were filmed the book was probably based off of an original work print of the film.
This is a sad memory to have, but I saw Tool back in 01' maybe. The opening band was Tomahawk fronted by Mike Patton. They opened for Tool and everyone was booing them. I was so embarrassed for my state, booing a damn legend. Mike was talking crazy shit to the crowd, it was hilarious, but still. When Tool played, Maynard never turned to face the crowd. Not once. He said that was his way of turning back on us.
FunFact: MegaDeth wrote the song "Go to Hell" for this soundtrack. They also played a heavy cover of Alice Cooper "No More Mr. Nice Guy" for the movie Shocker and did a full song with accurate animated fingerings on DuckTales.
Station Minty I was waiting for this one Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey is one of my favorite movies my family banned me from renting it when I was younger because I rented it every weekend for a year
Me a a group of mates went to see this film at least 4 times,in fact we got into it so much, we actually brought our sunglasses along with us,and put them on when Bill and Ted did,got a lot of looks,but we didn't care.
Frank Welker's still my favorite. Not sure if I mentioned this or not, but I actually did get a chance to meet him (and Grey Delisle Griffin) at Galaxy-con three months ago!
Even with all the following and acclaim these films received, I still think they're hugely underrated and underappreciated. Bill and Ted, Wayne and Garth - these were my brothers growing up. William Sadler's Death is an absolute tour de force, he's introduced in quite a creepy and unsettling way, but the way that veneer slips and Death almost becomes this absurd caricature at times is superb and played with just the right amount of seriousness by Sadler. When you think we (my generation at the time) only really knew him as "The baddie in Die Hard 2" at that stage, it almost gives the performance an extra level of brilliance. I agree though with those who thought Alex Winter playing his own creepy grandmother, and the maniacal Easter Bunny were deeply unsettling as a kid! Great video Minty 👍
Minty, you should do a video on the movie "freaked". I loved it as a kid. It has Alex winter(also directed) Keanu has an uncredited part( as the dog man) even the man who played death himself is in it.
Believe it or not, this movie contained the scariest moment of my childhood. Yeah when they're in hell with the freaky grandmother and Easter Bunny. Pennywise didn't have a thing on that scene for 6 year old me!
ya that was freaky even as a 11 yr old when i saw it in theaters that freaked me out, when the Grandmother was running down the hall freaked me out lol
“You might be a king or a little street sweeper, but sooner or later you dance with the reaper” (which, eerily, itself was also a quote from convicted convict Robert Alton Harris just before his execution).
I had never seen any of the movie before I read the comic book. The comic book seemed so absurd that I assumed this was a joke or a goof on the actual movie. Nope. It's pretty much what you get. Have to revisit this one. I have a feeling it will have grown on me.
This was an odd one. I have it on dvd alongside the original movie. I still loved watching Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter and the even goofier humor made it worth the watch. Of course I can’t leave out the most Excellent, George Carlin.
@@brandonpage7087 the first time I saw UHF I was over a buddy's house and we were watching Blade Runner and we both passed out asleep. I woke up to the Blacks Without Soul commercial skit in UHF and I thought I was losing my mind. So I just quietly left. I was looking at the screen thinking, that's really BB King. Is this for real? Late nite TV commercials are really weird.
The bit about his fear of the Easter bunny was cut, which makes the scene make no sense. The comic adaptation actually explains it. Also, Denomolos is the writers name backwards
I just figured the whole 'station' deal was just the writers trying to find a way to make the (most excellent!)Winger song "Battle Stations" from the van scene fit a little better within the movie. Yeah, it's pretty nonsensical as theories go, but the real explanation is even moreso, IMO.
I'm surprised that Minty didn't mention that Death and the board games are a very funny and direct reference to Ingmar Bergman's 1958 classic The Seventh Seal.
How do ya'll know about a movie release back in 1957 ??? I had to look that up just to see what you guys are talking about. Are you're a grsndpa or something? Seem like only elders and great elders knows about that movie.
@@Candle_Calmness haha, maybe I am old, I did see Star Wars at the cinema when it was first released in '77. (and I wrote 'haha' instead of LOL.) plus I did film studies in high school. (actually it's my birthday today and I'm going to see original Star Wars on the big screen tonight, this weeks classic movie, cool)
When I first stumbled upon your channel months ago I criticized your videos for being too long. Now I’ve come to love your videos and your channel is one of my favorites on RU-vid
anyone else get bummed starting the DVD version to not see the music video "Shout it Out" ? the song played before the movie starts on the VHS version. As a kid the song always got me pumped up for the movie playing with my Bill and Ted action figures and their guitars.. good times.
You TOTALLY missed that "Bogus Journey" is a BODACIOUS retelling of Dante's MOST EXCELLENT "Divine Comedy". Also: Chuck De Nomolos, the villain, is Ed Solomon backward: Ed=De and Solomon=Nomolos. STATION!
Minty is the best! When I see his new video notifications I get excited like it's Saturday morning cartoons. Great video and this was a most excellent sequel.
