Product: Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey [VHS] (1991)
Rating: 4.0
Best of 7? DAMN RIGHT!
A sequel to a film as unique as BILL & TED bred skepticism at the time, I'm sure, but little did the world know what was going to be in store for our two dim-bulbs this time. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter return as Ted "Theodore" Logan and Bill S. Preston, Esq., respectively, now 5 years older but not a second wiser. They're about to perform at the Battle of the Bands, their bodacious babes from medieval England (Iowa) have agreed to marry them, and their legacies are still in order. Life would seem perfect for our rock heroes, that is if it weren't for the maniacal De Nomolos (Joss Ackland), who has created two evil robot versions of Bill and Ted to go back in time and kill their human selves (and subsequently ruin their lineage). This leads our guys to the afterlife, Hell, Heaven, and back to Earth, having faced their own personal Hells, recited EVERY ROSE HAS ITS THORN to the Man Upstairs, and gaining the Grim Reaper (William Sadler, in a scene-stealing role) as a slave by beating him in a contest. Now they have to build good robot versions of themselves (with the help of an alien called Station... yeah), save the babes, and ensure their place in rock and future history.Not as good as the original, to be sure, but it is most definitely non-non-non-non-NON heinous.
