Product: Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey [VHS] (1991)
Rating: 4.0
Wild Stallyns Rules! Did I Spell That Right?
As good as the first Bill and Ted film was and still is ("Excellent Adventure"), this sequel raised the bar. Hilarious at every turn, and it deals with life and death issues at the same time. Throw in Bill Sadler (the great character actor from "Die Hard 2") as the reaper, appearances by Pam Grier and George Carlin, a parody of Ingmar Bergman's "Seventh Seal", and you've got a movie that probably oughta rate 5 stars. Despite the heady subject matter, the most important plot thread is whether the boys will win the "Battle of the Bands" contest. Station! (PS-this and the first film would make an excellent double-feature DVD)
