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.

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.
