Bill And Ted's Bogus Journey (EOTWS)

End Of The Week Shorts #13 extract: Bill And Ted's Bogus Adventure (1991)

If "Dumb" was a movie genre, this would be a masterpiece. 

Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey has no business being as good as it is. It's ridiculous in every single respect, but I love this movie (almost as much as the first). The humour works, the terrible writing works, the tone and sensibilities... it all works. Technically, this isn't a bad looking movie. The director, Hewitt, knows what he's doing and knows his cinematic history, implementing just as many nods to German expressionist and Swedish art films as pop American blockbusters and sequels. Reeves and Winter kill it. The soundtrack (the clearest element that is superior to the first film) is amazing; Kiss's God Gave Rock N' Roll To You with Steve Vai's solo intro being a perfect ending to this utterly tremendous movie. 

Excellent, non-heinous and bodacious. Obviously, a personal favourite.
