About this movie

Ted Theodore Logan (Keanu Reeves) and Bill S. Preston (Alex Winter), members of the totally bodacious local band The Wyld Stallyns, have just experienced a visitation from the future. His name is Rufus (stand-up legend George Carlin) and not only is he an awesome dude, but he also has a message for Bill and Ted. The destiny of mankind lies in their hands.

I loved this film as a teen in the 90s, its still totally bodacious, original and most excellent. The basic premise is two friends Bill and Ted want to just be in their band, but they are failing history at school, and Ted could end up in military school if he fails, ending their friendship. Not good, and in the future, these dudes are worshipped for their music, which ends wars, brings nations and planets, aliens and animals in harmony. So to ensure they stay together, the future rulers use a time travel machine in a call box, so that Bill and Ted can collect famous figures from history, and bring them into the 90s to help them present their history report. Hilarity ensues swiping Freud, Socrates and the rest, with these figures encountering each other and dealing with modern life, Joan of Arc giving an aerobics lesson is fab, played by the beautiful Jane Wiedlin. Trouble is they get locked up by Teds dad, who is a police inspector, so how are they gonna get them out? Its a brilliantly lighthearted and most excellently scripted funny film, with great sfx, before films started to look too overdone and flashy. Here the characters and plot matters more than the sfx. Far out man.

A movie that includes Iron Maiden, time travel, beautiful babes, excellent guitar riffs, all manner of cool historical figures, the most amazing camel toe in movie history and that cool dude out of Revenge of the Nerds! Oh and Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter. Plus it's the only movie that fully grasps the theory of time travel. It truly is most triumphant!
