When you finish reading The Battalion pass it on to a friend but please DON’T LITTER This time the excellent duo are old enough to drink beer, and have moved into their own digs, but alas for their band, Wyld Stallyns, they still haven't really mastered the art of playing electric guitar. Unfazed by this small detail, they are determined to play in the Ba ttle of the Bands, so they can win the prize money and marry their girlfriends, the comely English princesses they brought back with and Bill and Ted die. They escape the Grim Reaper (William Sadler) long enough to discover the truth about the robots, and to realize that that their girlfriends will be history, and their band won't be history. Death soon catches up with them, and this time they end up in hell. There they encounter all sorts of demons from their past, from a vindictive Easter Bunny to a hor- This latest installment has a lot more high-tech special effects, but despite a slightly darker plot line (its original title was "Bill and Ted Go to Hell"), maintains the child like innocence of the first film. It cheerfully plunders other movies and TV shows, from "The Terminator" to "The Exorcist" to Bergman's "The Seventh Seal," with a healthy dose of Fellini and a rib-tickling "Star Trek" sight gag thrown in for good measure. Nevertheless, the film's clev erness is honest and unaffected, and doesn't get in the way of its good-natured sense of humor. "Bogus Journey" has a great deal of fun with its clownish protago nists' naivete, and kids in the audi ence enjoy feeling mentally supe rior to the most non-sagacious Bill and Ted. In the end, however, the film's sympathies are definitely with its heroes, and we laugh witn them rather than at them. This engaging little time travel fantasy is indeed most righteously entertaining, for both the young and the young-at-heart. im YES! WE HA VE STUDENT AIRFARES! them in the first movie. Since Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves) are also destined to influ ence the future with their music and lingo, they figure the contest, which is being televised live, will be a perfect way to introduce Wyld Stallyns to the world. Unfortunately, the sinister Denomalos (Joss Ackland), who lives in the San Dimas, California, of 2691, is aware of their plan, and wanting to prevent their having any influence on the future, sends lookalike evil robots Bill and Ted back to the past to kill the hapless pair before they become a success. (Sound familiar?) As luck would have it, the "Evil Us-es" succeed in their mission. Ph.D rible hag of a grandmother (played by Winter in make-up) to a mili tary school drill sergeant insistent on their doing infinity push-ups. Death has told them previ ously that the only way to get out of hell is to challenge him to a game. If they win, they live. If they lose, they stay in hell. In one of the most hilarious sequences, a play on the aforementioned Be reman film, where Max von Sydowplayed chess with Death, they take nim up on the offer, playing children's board games instead. The rather sullen, spoiled Death has "something to learn about sportsmanship" as Bill and Ted remark, but turns out to be an all-right dude. He tags along on the rest of their misadventures, helping the two get out of their predicament and into the history Docks. Sadler really gets into his per formance as the "man with no tan," imbuing him with a gleeful child ishness that both kids and adults will love. George Carlin is back from the first film, playing the small role of Rufus, the future sage and professor at Bill and Ted U. Winter and Reeves have got ten their portrayals of the wide- eyed Bill and Ted down to an ex tremely amusing science; each seems to be one half of the unas suming whole, as each alternates playing straight man while the other utters profound statements like, "We're dead, dude." Their unflappable demeanor and bliss ful innocence in the face of adult reality is what makes this film so charming. At one point Ted que ries, "After we're married, do you think they'll let us sleep over?" This infectious, good-hearted spirit sustains the film, and Pete Hewitt's direction keeps it all moving, so that this extended game of make- believe doesn't linger too long on any one joke or situation. The soundtrack, featuring bands like Megadeth, Faith No More, Winger, Kiss and King's X, is more unobtrusive this time around, with only a couple of songs pumped out full blast. Axe-man extraordinaire Steve Vai is respon sible for the tasty incidental air guitar licks and the Stallyns' solos. All in all, this engaging little time travel fantasy is indeed most righteously entertaining, for both the young and the young-at-heart. by Michael Mogonye LONDON $375 PARIS $369 FRANKFURT $405 MADRID $445 HONG KONG $559 COSTA RICA $229 JOE WALKER Stuck with his Stu>/ES...
