While technically true and certainly true of the "WW" movie, "BaTEA" and "Wayne's World" were released at the same time (one day apart). "BaTEA" Feb 17, 1989 and the first episode of "Wayne's World" aired Feb 18, 1989. Though if I was to get nitpicky... Wayne Campbell first appeared in "Wayne's Power Minute" on the show "It's Only Rock and Roll" in 1987. 😁

Not enough people give props to Billy the Kid and Socrates for not only rolling with the time travel like it's no big deal from the very start, but also for becoming good friends in the background and saving Bill & Ted from the medieval executioner, and remaining buds to the very end of the movie.

It was hard not to see Keanu as anything but an "airhead" back then. But it was Point Break that made me see Keanu in a new light. It was a glimpse of things to come. Even though he gets a lot of haters for his acting, he puts in a solid performance depending on the project. He was legit good in Point Break Speed. I think his best performance is from 1997s Devil's Advocate. He actually was able to hold his own opposite Al Pacino. Very underrated movie.

The film I think truly broke his "airhead" good guy image for me was Street Kings. The opening when he goes on this racist rant against some Korean guys then hunts them down and blasts them dead was eye openingly shocking to me. Go find it and watch it yourself to see what I mean.

Those of us watching this in the 80s, couldn’t imagine Keanu playing anything but airhead roles for quite a while. The opposite of Amber’s take. Plus, whenever my wife and I see a Circle K, we always say “Strange things are afoot at the Circle K”.

It’s so funny listening to you two flipping out that you can’t imagine Keanu in a comedy. For decades, no one could picture him in a drama. Some still don’t because, let’s face it, he’s never fully gotten rid of that way of speaking. you can still hear that “whoa” in his voice.

The most iconic line for me was when Ted spoke to himself with "No way" and he replies to himself "YES WAY". I will sometimes say that myself.

I love this movie. No irony, pure enjoyment.

Keanu has always asked first in his roles whether he has to cut his hair or not, because he loves to keep his long hair. For some roles he's agreed to cut his hair, but as you will see most of the time he gets to keep his long hair. Let's put it this way: If you give Keanu two films to choose between, and one implies he has to cut his hair, he will choose the one where he doesn't. Because he's a fucking rocker and he loves to have long hair!

For the longest time, this was the role Keanu was best known for, to the point he was quoted as saying he was afraid they would write on his tombstone "He Played Ted". He and Alex Winter became best friends while making this movie and still are to this day.

This is one of Keanu Reeves iconic roles. It's the first movie I saw him in back in the 80s. I've loved him ever since then.

I adore this movie! Did the big trip from Australia to LA in May/June, and I made sure to go to San Dimas High for a few pics in front of the main office. I think that, and going to Nakatomi Plaza were the absolute highlights of my holiday. And the song in the beginning is called Breakaway by Big Pig, which is a cover of I Can't Break Away by Chuck Jackson.

I fully credit Bill & Ted with my wife and I getting together. In college I went home for a weekend and my high school friends and I all went to see this. I thought it was horrible. A week later I met my future wife while on a date with another girl. The next day I was in her dorm room (wife, not the other girl) and we talked for hours. I told her how bad this movie was, and then one of her friends stopped by to see if she wanted to go see the movie. We looked at each other and burst out laughing. She chose me over the movie. That was 34 1/2 years ago and we’re still together. Oh, and the movie kinda grew on me, I love it now.

I'd love it if they did Point Break followed by Hot Fuzz!

My favorite background thing is billy the kid and Socrates being best friends

The actor that played Bill - Alex Winter was also one of the vampires in the Lost Boys movie you did.

Thank you so much for reacting to this one, it's one of my favorite movies, and y'all are my favorite reactors. I can't wait to watch. I hope you follow up with the rest of the trilogy, that would be most excellent. After this they go on a Bogus Journey. And much later they have to Face the Music. Everything is truly triumphant. BTW Jay. I think the Keanu Reeves sports movie you are thinking of is the Replacements.

I just watched Face the Music for the first time a few months ago. Fun watch! :) I know I've seen Bogus Journey but honestly forgot all about it existing until you mentioned it just now. Oops. My memory is so bad these days. :P Thanks for the reminder! I need to watch it again. I can't recall it at all.

Spicoli definitely had the Valley/Surfer dude voice down in Fast Times at Ridgemont High and these two carry on that tradition. I will always see Keanu as this character or the one from the Rivers Edge. ✌🏻👩🏻‍🦰👍🏻… I still use “Strange things are afoot at the Circle K” with my friends.

Fun fact: The only actor at Water Loops was the woman who bought 11 tickets. Everyone else either worked there or was a customer. The filmmakers put up a sign letting everyone know there would be filming, and the guy playing Napoleon ran around and interacted with the kids. They did this all day and then cut the sequence together from all the stuff that happened.

So that song you guys were rocking out to during the mall scene where Beethoven was playing, that was Extreme! I know you’ve reacted to two of their songs so far, now you’ve sort of heard one more. We need more of them on your other channel! 🙏 I’m glad you enjoyed this movie, it’s definitely silly but I have fond memories of seeing it in the theater and rocking out. The sequel is actually pretty funny as well.

OMG thank you so much for reacting to this!!! It's one of my favorite movies of all time! And how I met Keanu Reeves! ❤

Considering you both loved John Wick it had to be fun seeing young Keanu.

This movie was filmed in & around my hometown of Mesa, Az. The waterpark is a place called Golfland & the mall scenes were @ Metro center mall. They made a second later on & just a few years ago the third. A most triumphant movie!!

Bill and Ted came out after Back to the Future, but it was actually written a few years before as "Bill & Ted's Time Van." The writers tried to get the movie made for several years and were even fired from the agency that represented them because they thought the script was so bad. They modified the script over the next few years and the movie did eventually go into production, but the studio financing it went bankrupt before it was finally completed. Two years later it was picked up by another studio who finished it and reshot the entire end sequence where they have everyone show up on stage for their final report. BTW... regarding a certain word said at 20:03, Ed Solomon (one of the two creators) later apologized for using it in the Bill & Ted franchise, saying that they were ignorant to the actual meaning and thought it was nothing more than "surfer language" from that era that the characters would say. And on that note, the two waiters who come out at the ice cream parlor with the "Ziggy Piggy" button are the two writers of the film. Make sure to check out the sequel, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey. If Excellent Adventure is an example of movies from the 80s, Bogus Journey is definitely an example of movies from the 90s.

ROB SQUAD AS MANY OTHERS HAVE SAID IN THE COMMENTS, ANYBODY OVER THE AGE OF 45-50 REMEMBERS KEANU FOR THIS ROLE AND WE HAD TO GROW INTO HIS ACTION ROLES!! I MUST SAY THO, NOW IN RETROSPECT, HE DID PRETTY WELL STARTING OUT AS THIS CHARACTER TO WHAT HE IS TODAY!! I GOT AN IDEA IF YOU WANT TO DO IT ON YOUR MUSIC CHANNEL 😮 YOU GUYS! THE GENTLEMAN WHO PLAYED RUFUS IS A WELL-KNOWN COMEDIAN BY THE NAME OF GEORGE CARLIN (RIP)!! MAYBE YOU GUYS COULD REACT TO ONE OF HIS COMEDY ROUTINES RATHER THAN A SONG ON YOUR MUSIC CHANNEL SOMETIME...JUST A THOUGHT!!😮

There are 2 sequels. Number 2 is not the best but must be watched to watch 3 . What makes 3 so good is that 1 and 2 are back to back in the 80s but 3 just came out in the last three years. It's so fun to see Bill and Ted as adults.

"They just took [Beethoven] for shreddin' too hard." I love you guys. I knew you would love this movie.

One of my favorite movie endings of all time! 💖

Watch Rivers Edge, which is one of Keanu's first films. It's creepy and unsettling with a great young cast. And PLEASE watch Say Anything with a young John Cusack! It defines late 80s teen angst perfectly. It was directed by Cameron Crowe who would go on to direct Jerry Maguire and Almost Famous.

So excited to watch this with you! And yes, Keanu was in Hardball. Another really good movie. I have seen it many times and still cry.

At age 11 - I saw this bodacious film in the theater and I've been a HUGE FAN ever since! 😎🤙Some other 80's gems to consider: WEIRD SCIENCE, ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING, BETTER OFF DEAD, DELIRIOUS (John Candy), LAST AMERICAN VIRGIN, OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen!! Also, DEATH BECOMES HER!! Keep smilin' y'all!! Happy Holidays!! 🎄✨

Joan of Arc was played by Jane Wiedlin, who also played the Singing Telegram Girl in Clue. She was also a member of The Go-Go's.

A lot of this movie was filmed in Arizona. The Circle K was in Mesa also the water park is still here and kicking. The lifeguard at the top of the water slide name is Brandon Fish. Nobody knew he was picked to be in it until we were watching the movie in the theater. It was pretty awesome to know that a kid from Mesa, AZ could be in a movie (1988-89)

I love this movie! There was another movie Keanu Reeves was in not long after this called Parenthood, along with a ton of other big stars. That would be worth a reaction video, too!

This was the first role I ever saw Keanu in, followed by "The Prince of Pennsylvania" (a forgotten classic). I'm glad he grew up cool - I never would have predicted it. :-)

20:03 your reactions when they said that naughty word! 😂

Hey Jay & Amber, you guys should absolutely watch movies “Big Trouble In Little China Directed By John Carpenter (1986),” “Fright Night By Tom Howard (1985),” and “Night of The Creeps Directed By Fred Dekker (1986).”

48:09 Alex Winter was the other half of the duo. Keanu plays Ted, Alex Winter plays Bill. Alex these days is primarily a writer and director but he also still acts occasionally, and he returned as Bill with Keanu as Ted a few years ago for the third Bill & Ted movie BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC (2020). You’ll definitely want to see the second film as well, BILL & TED’S BOGUS JOURNEY (1991); I think that film is even funnier than the first one. Plus Kiss contributed a big song at the end of it!

They also voiced Bill and Ted, along with George Carlin as Rufus in the aninated _Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures._ There is also a live-action series that lasted only seven episodes, and the guys from that show took over the animated series for the second season.

There's a pure unadulterated joy to this movie, like the innocence of childhood. That's why it's such a pleasure to watch. I think Napoleon at the waterpark is the best example of it. You can't help but smile, even on a bad day.

I'm so happy you guys reacted to this movie!! My uncle passed away in 08 from cancer and this was our special movie. He loved George Carlin, the actor who played Rufus. The second one is pretty good too. I'm planning on having the phrase "Be excellent to each other" tattooed on my arm in memory of him.

Glad you’re doing this! You all need to watch Wayne’s World

OH THIS MOVIE IS SO GOOD, it's so sweet and sincere and just... Heartwarming? I don't know. All I know is that I cried watching it. Made me feel nostalgic for a time when I was younger, silly, trying to follow my dreams and have fun.

My son introduced me to this movie when it went to DVD and you had to go to a store and rent this. I found Bill and Ted charming and fun.

I have suggested them a few times but I think you would enjoy the first two Beatles films, the first one is A Hard Days Night and the second is called Help! They are both a bit silly and they both reflect (at least what is perceived to be) their personalities. In fact it was during the filming of the first one that George met his first wife, the model Patty Boyd…who later left him for his best friend Eric Clapton.
