Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure	comment	Premiering in 1989, the first Bill & Ted film features Bill S. Preston, Esq. (Alex Winter) and Ted Theodore Logan (Keanu Reeves) as two air-headed rocker kids from San Dimas, California. They're so focused on their wannabe rock band Wyld Stallyns — not to mention so stupid — that they're in danger of failing history class and being held back. To make matters worse, Ted's authoritarian police chief father says that if that happens, Ted will be shipped off to a military academy in Alaska, breaking up the band.Things look bleak for the two until help literally drops from the sky. The time traveler Rufus (George Carlin) lives in a utopian future built upon the peace-bringing philosophies popularized by the music that these two good-natured dunderheads will eventually create. Rufus offers them the use of his time machine — disguised as an ordinary phone booth — so they can do the research needed to create a final report for their history class that will let them scrape by with a D. When a brief trip to France causes Napoleon to follow them back to the present, Bill and Ted decide to stage the ultimate oral report by getting famous historical figures themselves to present it. Their carefree jaunt through time gives them the passing grade they need to stay together... and the mental focus they need to create the music that will produce the philosophy that will lead to the future that... well, you get the idea.The film was followed by two sequels, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey in 1991 and (much later) Bill & Ted Face the Music in 2020.

When they're seeing the princesses, Billy pulls a football out of the backpack and starts a game of catch with Socrates. In something of a Funny Foreground Event, Napoleon begins to sidle closer to Missy (likely intending to hit on her) in her car while Bill and Ted make their way back to it. Napoleon promptly pulls back when they appear beside the passenger's side window. Similar to the above, when Bill and Ted learn from Deacon that he ditched Napoleon, they speak to him through a fence while he's playing in a baseball game. A wider shot reveals that the fence ends two feet to their right and they could have easily walked past it to speak to him. During the bar fight, one of the bar patrons can be seen behind the bar grabbing bottles and chugging them. When Bill, Ted, and Billy the Kid escape from the Wild West saloon, a cowboy is carrying a sack and moonwalking as they run to the phone booth. When Bill and Ted leave Napoleon with Deacon, a balloon in the background says "Party On Dude".

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure / int_356b1efb	comment	Hammerspace: This seems to be a common ability here. Where did Billy the Kid get the lariat he used on Freud? Kind of hard to say. Genghis Khan enters the booth carrying only a club, which he later discards; in an even later scene, he has a pole-axe weapon, with no explanation where it came from. Also, Joan of Arc is somehow able to change out of her armor before she and the others are arrested, and then change back into it after the duo spring them, with no explanation of where she put it. Hammerspace is really the only explanation. Of course, there's also the booth itself. Not exactly something that could fit nine (and later ten) people easily (although Ted does say they're "running out of room" when there were only nine). They eventually have to tilt the booth onto its back and travel through time standing up through the open door in order to fit everyone comfortably.

They repair the time machine's antennae with only pudding cans and chewed gum, kidnap or convince historical figures, many of whom don't speak English, to get into a strange metal box with them, and learn how to manipulate time to produce the solutions to obstacles that are right in front of them.

There are no jokes in this scene other than his Buffy Speak, but even then it's drenched in anguish. Ted is then revealed to be alive, and the movie returns to being the comedy-romp that it is, but for that moment, the laughs came to a screeching halt.

As a Trust Password, Bill and Ted ask their future selves what number they're thinking of, and they reply, "69, dudes". Bill says they went back to the year 1269 to pick up a Genghis Khan, though Khan actually died in 1227. (The subtitles have them picking up Genghis Khan in 1209.) An early version of the script had them time-traveling using a 1969 Chevrolet van, though the writers decided this too closely resembled Back to the Future.

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Numerous references to 80s culture. Bill and Ted dress up in knightly armor and swordfight to mock lightsaber noises. After they tell Socrates that "All we are is dust in the wind, dude", he quotes the tagline for Days of Our Lives. Bill also says, "Let's reach out and touch someone" before they use the booth for the first time, an old slogan for Bell System Phone Company. Although it seems like the time travelling phone booth is a massive shout out to Doctor Who, it is actually just a coincidence. Doctor Who was huge in the UK (and in fact the classic series was on its last season at the time of this film), but since the internet was not a thing yet, it had a very niche audience in the US, to the point where most Americans weren't aware it even existed. Apparently, Ancient Greece "looks like Houses of the Holy, dude." Deacon has a poster for King Kong (1976) in his room. This film was originally intended to be distributed by that film's producer Dino de Laurentis until financial issues with his company DEG forced the movie to be shelved until Orion and Nelson came in.
