In September 2010, it was announced that work had begun on a third movie ([http://io9.com/5646614/ source]). Winter and Reeves are signed on for it, as are the series' creators and writers, Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon.
According to Winter, the movie will evoke the spirit of the originals without succumbing to "retro cynicism", and that they've found a way to continue the story beyond the apparent [[Happily Ever After]] at the end of ''Bogus Journey''. Early information suggests that the plot will revolve around the fact that Bill and Ted haven't changed the world yet and are trying to write the song that will create Rufus' utopian future.
----
Line 50:
* [[Bald of Evil]]: Chuck De Nomolos.
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Male version. Bill's customized sweatshirt.
* [[Buffy-Speak]]: Bill and Ted have a rather unique vocabulary and speaking style.
* [[Catch Phrase]]:
** "Excellent!" often followed by an Air Guitar duet.
** The two will gasp "Bogus!" when something bad happens.
Line 86:
'''Bill, Ted:''' And?
'''Rufus:''' They stink. }}
* [[Trophy Wife]]: In ''Excellent Adventure'', Bill's dad has divorced his mother and gotten married to Missy, who is only three years older than his son. In ''Bogus Journey'', they have split up and now Ted's dad is the one married to Missy.
* [[Utopia]]: The duo use [[The Power of Rock]] to turn the world into one.
Line 96:
** It was also "most tranquil."
** And you'll never guess where it got the "[[Days of Our Lives|like sands from the hour glass]]" expression.
* [[Big "Shut Up!"]]:
{{quote|'''Ted''': "Now your Dad's getting it on in your own room!"
'''Bill''': "Shut up, Ted."
Line 126:
* [[Funny Background Event]]: Billy the Kid and Socrates toss around the ol' pigskin (actually something like a Nerf football) while Bill and Ted see the princesses for the first time.
** 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.
* [[Gay Moment]]: Bill and Ted hug after Ted turns out to have not been killed by that medieval dickweed, then promptly let go and jokingly yell "Fag!" to one another.
* [[God Test]]: Invoked when Bill and Ted challenge their future selves:
{{quote|'''Ted:''' "If you guys are really us, what number are we thinking of?"
Line 136:
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: When Bill and Ted get drafted into Billy the Kid's poker game, Bill gently admonishes Ted to "have a poker face, like me". Not ten seconds later he looks at his cards and exclaims "Woah, three Aces, dude!"
** Which is also [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] as this is being said to Ted, played by [[Keanu Reeves]] before he got his reputation for being rather [[Dull Surprise|stone-faced and bland]] in his roles.
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Genghis Khan is impressed by the military potential of modern sporting equipment. He dons some football armor, arms himself with an aluminum baseball bat, and charges off on a skateboard.
* [[Informed Ability]]: Played for laughs. Bill and Ted are supposed to be the greatest musicians of all time. They stink.
** Lampshaded by Rufus - Who pulls off a stunning solo and then assures us in a fourth-wall breaking moment that ''they '''do''' get better'' as Bill and Ted make horrific noise whilst their new girlfriends from the past awkwardly test their own instruments.
Line 160:
'''Bill:''' Oh, yeah? Well, I'm Luke Bill, and you're not my father! You! }}
** After they tell Socrates that "All we are is dust in the wind, dude", he quotes the tagline for ''[[Days of Our Lives]]''.
* [[Stable Time Loop]]:
** If Wyld Stallyns would have broken up without Rufus' intervention, how did his timeline come into existence in the first place?
** Rufus ''never divulges his name''. Bill and Ted learn it from their future selves. Maybe it was in that phonebook?
Line 172:
* [[The Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer]]: Most of the historical people adapt pretty quickly to the twentieth century, such as Beethoven mastering electronic synthesizers.
** Billy the Kid picks up the intricacies of time travel pretty quickly, for which the boys praise him when they arrive in ancient Greece.
* [[Visual Pun]]: When Sigmund Freud is trying to chat up the girls at the mall and being shot down in the process, you can see the corndog he's holding go from being 'erect' at the beginning of the conversation to being 'limp' at the end.
** [[Genius Bonus]]: It's frikkin' ''Freud'' using a penis standin.
* [[Waxing Lyrical]]: "All we are is dust... in the wind, dude."
Line 205:
* [[Don't Fear the Reaper]]: Bad attitude? Yes! Evil? No!
** Combines with [[Waxing Lyrical]] after the two beat Death and he has to lead them to Heaven.
{{quote|'''Dead Bill:''' "Hey, Ted -- [[Blue Öyster Cult|Don't Fear the Reaper]]!"
'''Death:''' "I HEARD THAT!" }}
* [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]: Colonel Oates, the head and namesake of Oates Military Academy where Ted's dad is threatening to send him in the first movie. He's only mentioned in the first film. He first appears in the sequel and doesn't seem too bad initially. However, when the duo goes to hell, the first punishment they go through is being in military school with him where he's this trope in full force and demands that they "get down and [[Up to Eleven|give me infinity]]".
Line 253:
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Evil Bill and Ted repeatedly try to kill animals.
** The Evil Robots' groping of the heroes' (rather chaste) princess girlfriends also counts in various ways
* [[Kirk's Rock]]: Lampshaded: Just before the boys meet the Evil Robots, they're watching that particular episode of ''[[Star Trek: The
* [[Larynx Dissonance]]: Evil Bill changes his voice to one of the medieval babes to give Bill and Ted a fake breakup call, in order to lead them into the trap where they will be killed.
* [[Losing Your Head]]: The Evil Us's version of basketball.
Line 263:
* [[Overly Long Gag]]: When they get sent to hell.
{{quote|"Dude, this is a ''totally'' deep hole."}}
* [[Overly Long Scream]]: Bill and Ted fall down a pit to hell, screaming the whole way, but the pit is so deep that they eventually get tired of repeatedly screaming and start playing 20 questions.
* [[Our Founder]]: Bill and Ted, in The Future.
* [[Out-Gambitted]]: The climax of the film. Both sides' plans rely on the premise that they won the current battle in the present, which would allow them to manipulate time afterwards and rig the battle in the present to their favor. "The future belongs to the winner."
Line 279:
Wyld Stallyns to Play Mars - "Station!" }}
* [[Really Gets Around]]: Missy was married to Bill's Dad in the first film, but has left him and married Ted's Dad by the sequel. She also flirts with Col. Oates, and the end credits reveal that she has left Ted's Dad for De Nomolos.
* [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]]: The Evil Robot Bill and Ted, who can apparently get "full-on robot chubb[ies]" from looking at a picture of the guys' girlfriends.
* [[Robotic Reveal]]: Bill punching his robotic evil twin.
{{quote|"Oww! You're totally metal, dude!"}}
* [[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. This could be explained by assuming that Bill and Ted have to jump 16 months into the future after they win the concert.
** Plausible explanation: Bill and Ted take the booth sixteen months into the future, get out, and allow Future Bill & Ted (who have been in intense training ever since the concert) to get in and take the same booth back to the Battle of the Bands, while Bill and Ted wait in the future. Once their set is over, Future Bill & Ted get back in the booth, go back to their own time, and let Bill and Ted have the booth back, whereupon Bill and Ted travel back to their present San Dimas and begin sixteen months of intense training.
* [[Sdrawkcab Name]]: De Nomolos is this for writer Ed Solomon.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Death is a pretty direct parody of Death from ''[[The Seventh Seal]]''.
Line 297:
* [[That Poor Cat]]: "Aim for the cat, dude! Aim for the cat!"
* [[To Hell and Back]]
* [[Took a Level
* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: Nobody finds it odd that the princesses are celebrating their 527th birthday?
** It's California. People probably figure they're counting all their past lives or something.
