Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1999) Full-Length Watchalong Reaction

Such a fun movie! Some mild plagiarism is indeed the most affectionate form of flattery. 😆

This movie is such a staple of my teenage years. Came out when I was 13 and everyone I knew loved it. Imminently quotable. It was nice seeing your reaction as a 21st century adult. It mostly holds up and almost acts as a time capsule for the late 80’s. I don’t even think about Keanu’s age here because I kind of grew up with him in so many late 80’s movies before he became big. Both he, Alex Winter, and George Carlin reprised their roles in a Saturday morning spin-off cartoon. At least in season one until a new production company killed it. I would watch your reactions to the other two. The second one does a good job considering it’s an unplanned sequel. I like where they took the story and know some people who prefer the second over the first. On a personal note. When I was 14, a year after the movie came out, I got the chicken pox. I was a freshman in high school. I missed the first semester finals and almost 2 full week of school. I was so sick. When I got to school and walked into my first class several people were stunned to see me. Somehow my prolonged absence evolved into the rumor my parents had sent me to a military school in Alaska. And I grew up in Texas. For a couple of hours that day the rumor spread I had escaped the military school and come back. It took a little bit to explain I was sick. I look back now and wonder how exactly did I act in school that either of those rumors were plausible to my classmates? 😆

I watched this film a lot when I was a kid—although, I liked Bogus Journey more—but, I have to say, it has not stood the test of time, for me personally. I saw you were reacting to it, so I downloaded it and thought to myself, "this will be interesting, I haven't seen this since I was like 13..." But, even though I can still recite almost all of the dialogue verbatim, it is so far removed from anything I find remotely entertaining as an adult, I had to stop watching it—not even half-way through. And just to be sure, I'm not putting the movie down, this isn't the movie's fault. This is my fault for growing up and forgetting the two key principles that should never be forgotten... "be excellent to each other... and San Dimas High School football rules!"

Fun reaction, that sheer wholesome joy of this film is off the charts. Agree could have skipped the fathers past their first scenes. The YT title has 1999.

The two guys in the striped shirts and straw hats who serve Napoleon his ice cream are screenwriters Ed Solomon and Chris Matheson, who based the characters of Bill and Ted on themselves. The joke about Waterloops isn't that they gave Napoleon the tickets, but that Napoleon would recognize the name "Waterloo" from the famous Battle of Waterloo he participated in. I don't think the second movie is as good as the first one, but I do appreciate many aspects of it, including a key new character they introduce, and the fact that they lean a little into stranger humor that apparently appealed to both Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter. Alex Winter later went onto co-direct a movie with collaborator Tom Stern called Freaked which is considered an unofficial companion to the Bill & Ted movies in that it is definitely an evolution of what's going on in Bogus Journey. Freaked is a strange cult classic and a great weird comedy -- not sure if it'd be for you, although I guess we'll see how you respond to Bogus Journey.
