| Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey | comment |
The popularity of the first Bill & Ted film prompted Nelson and Orion to release a sequel two years later. Chuck De Nomolos (Joss Ackland), a rebel from Rufus's utopian future, wants to replace it with a militaristic Crapsack World. He plans to accomplish this by sending Evil Robot duplicates into the past, where they will kill the boys, then deliver a disparaging speech worldwide at a "Battle of the Bands" concert contest and destroy Wyld Stallyns' reputation forever.With a minimum amount of effort, the robots succeed in killing off the two title characters. However, their spirits refuse to go quietly into the good night and face off against the Grim Reaper (William Sadler). While the evil robots make time with the guys' princess babes, the ghosts of Bill and Ted need to find a way to resurrect themselves, defeat the evil robot "usses" and stop Chuck De Nomolos. To do so, they must go through Heaven and Hell (literally, plus Kirk's Rock) to face their personal demons and gather allies to their cause. | |

| Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: As is evident by the titles. Whilst Excellent Adventure is a feel-good romp, Bogus Journey has the title characters a) facing robot terrorists from the future and b) dying and going to hell, even if it is still played for laughs and they get better eventually. | |

Graceful Loser: Evil Bill and Evil Ted of all people, when the Good Robot Usses charge them in the climactic concert. Not only do they congratulate the originals, but they seemingly concede defeat by tilting their heads back to give the Good Robots a better target. | |

Funny Background Event: At the Builder's Emporium, Death tells a smoker "See you real soon". After he passes by, you can see the smoker (played by the director) do a Double Take and quickly stub out his cigarette. The bizarre costumes of the people in heaven are often jokes in themselves, including one man who walks around heaven in a boxing outfit. | |

Butt-Monkey: Death of all people. He is repeatedly humiliated, first when Bill and Ted wedgie him to escape. Then he undergoes a series of embarrassing defeats at board games, is forced to appear before God in drag, suffers repeated comedic injuries on Earth, and finally he can't even catch a break when he becomes part of the band that saves the world. His solo albums fail spectacularly, and was also part of a lip-sync scandal. At least he won the Indianapolis 500. | |

Drill Sergeant Nasty | |
| Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey / int_6375f746 | comment |
Drill Sergeant Nasty: Colonel Oats, the head and namesake of Oats Military Academy where Ted's dad is threatening to send him in the first movie. He's only mentioned in the first film; we first meet him in the sequel at a party and he's still offering a place for Ted at the academy. However, when the duo goes to hell, the first punishment they go through is being at military school where he's this trope in full force and demands that they "get down and give me infinity". Then again, they are in HELL... | |

I Fell for Hours: Bill and Ted's long fall to Hell, which takes so long they begin playing "20 Questions" to pass the time. To be fair, it was a pretty short game: When this film airs on television, a commercial break is often placed in the middle of this scene, which probably makes the whole gag funnier. | |

San Dimas Time: Interestingly, the sequel seems to throw this out by allowing Bill and Ted to spend 16 months to get guitar lessons, then return to the present to win the concert. One might assume that they have to jump 16 months into the future after they win the concert, but the news articles that display over the credits don't suggest that they vanished for 16 months after their first performance. | |

Throw the Dog a Bone: Despite his Butt-Monkey status, Death finds himself enjoying the company of Bill and Ted and being part of the band. Given that much of his grim nature appears to cover up severe insecurity and loneliness, Bill and Ted are probably the first friends he'd ever had. Also, it's shown during the news montage that he managed to win the Indianapolis 500 on foot. His response? "I didn't know I could run that fast." | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Ties in with the Stable Time Loop. Chuck De Nomolos decides to broadcast his defeat of Bill and Ted live to the world. After he's defeated, this only ensures that Bill and Ted broadcast their first performance live all over the world, hence beginning the cycle of their music creating the future Utopia. | |

Squick: An in-universe example: Death gets jealous of all the praise Station is getting and starts fishing for compliments. When Ted says Station has "an excellently huge Martian butt", Death says, "Don't overlook my butt. I work out all the time. Reaping burns a lot of calories." Bill and Ted visibly shudder at this. | |

Hypocritical Humor | |
| Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey / int_b707726f | comment |
Hypocritical Humor: Death tries his hand at guessing the movie that Station is miming and offers Butch and Sundance: The Early Years. He's scolded by Bill and Ted, presumably for guessing such an obscure and bad film. However, the correct answer turns out to be Smokey and the Bandit 3, another obscure, poorly received sequel in which the two main characters are replaced by other actors. | |

Demoted to Extra: Despite having a number of lines in the first film, Bill's dad only has a single reaction shot in which he looks forlornly at Missy. Ted's little brother Deacon had a substantial sideplot in the first film, but never shows up in the sequel. He's acknowledged only in Ted's personal Hell, when Ted steals an Easter basket with Deacon's name on it. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The Death subplot is a direct parody of Death from The Seventh Seal. Bill and Ted watch the "Arena" episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, featuring Kirk's Rock. They are then taken to Kirk's Rock to be killed by the evil robots. Ted possesses his father, "Like from The Exorcist 1 and 3." The boys quote Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" when asked the meaning of life. Les Claypool of Primus wears a The Residents shirt onstage. Station is playing charades and miming the film Smokey and the Bandit 3. Death guesses "Butch and Sundance: The Early Years." Bill's waist-length beard in the very end is obviously a nod to ZZ Top. | |

Outside-Context Problem: No one, least of all Bill and Ted themselves, saw evil duplicates of themselves coming back to kill them, under orders from an attempted revolutionary with plans to turn the future Earth into a dystopia. But in turn, Evil B&T and De Nomolos likely didn't forsee B&T allying with the Grim Reaper and a duo of Martians to stop them, and constructing good robotic duplicates to defeat the evil ones. | |

Fluffy Cloud Heaven: Well, more "Plastic Fluorescent-Backlit Clouds" Heaven, which the duo describe as "most atypical". | |

From Nobody to Nightmare | |
| Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey / int_e1acc872 | comment |
From Nobody to Nightmare: De Nomolos apparently went from a gym teacher to a terrorist leader and would-be world-conqueror, who planned to alter history so that the future would match his own - likely dystopian - political structure. A pretty big jump. | |

You Already Changed the Past | |
| Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey / int_e9e2c54d | comment |
You Already Changed the Past: The entire climax is Bill, Ted, and Chuck De Nomolos performing dueling versions of this. Except that, as Bill points out, only the winner can change history, so all the things the villain thought he planted were just decoys B&T placed to lull him into a false sense of security. | |

Exact Words: Just before using the Good Robot Usses to destroy the Evil Robot Usses, the real Bill & Ted say to the ERU's "Catch YOU later Bill and Ted!" The GRU's knock the ERU's heads off, and Bill and Ted catch them a few moments later. | |

Product Placement: The patio table at the princesses' birthday is littered with Pepsi cans. They also hold Pepsi cans in the previous scene. An Establishing Shot lingers on the Builder's Emporium sign to make sure you know exactly which hardware store Bill and Ted frequent. Sadly, Builder's Emporium folded two years after the film released. | |
