More trivia: Roger Ebert didn't review Excellent Adventure and regretted it upon reviewing the sequel Bogus Journey. "I missed the enormously popular movie that introduced these characters, 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure,' and felt myself blessed at the time. But now I'm not so sure. Their 'Bogus Journey' is a riot of visual invention and weird humor that works on its chosen sub-moronic level, and on several others as well, including some fairly sophisticated ones. It's the kind of movie where you start out snickering in spite of yourself, and end up actually admiring the originality that went into creating this hallucinatory slapstick."

69 dude! Woah.

Love this movie and the sequel. Ted was definitely my favourite, and he grew up to be Keanu Reeves! I don't know what this says about my taste.

"The mall scenes were filled overnight at the Metrocenter in Phoenix." There's a typo there, too.

And I've been to that Circle K for the sole reason that it's THE Circle K.

By the way, what number am I thinking of?

"In the movie, Bill and Ted say that Eddie Van Halen would compete Wyld Stallyns." Do you mean "compLete"?
I can't remember from the movie.

Yes this movie was awesome.

"Apparently some scenes were actually filmed of Bill and Ted going to prehistoric San Dimas and meeting some cavemen"

Yeah this is in the movie. When their time machine breaks they need to make an emergency stop in prehistoric times. They end up fixing the antenna on their phone booth with wads of bubblegum, with all the historic people, including some cavemen they found nearby, helping to chew the gum.

"The van idea was thought to be too similar to the DeLorean in Back to the Future, so the phone booth concept was used instead." - and Doctor Who peeks around the corner and yells, "Oi! That's mine!"

I didn't like the movie when I, uh, saw it in the theater. But over the years, it grew on me, as I discovered when I would watch it whenever it was shown on cable. Now, when I see it, I say to myself, "That's *Academy Award Winner*, Keanu Reeves." Wait, he didn't win an Academy Award? Yet.

"Apparently some scenes were actually filmed of Bill and Ted going to prehistoric San Dimas and meeting some cavemen. "

Wasn't this in the movie? There's a scene where cavepeople are sitting on a rocky hillside, and Bill & Ted remark how it looks like the Led Zeppelin album cover HOUSES OF THE HOLY.

"Eddie said he would have gladly joined if asked." - however he would have probably fired them from the band then sued them once he had sobered up.
