Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey

Other mistake: Just before the evil robots capture Bill and Ted's girlfriends, after they crash through the window, the girlfriends ask the robots: "Who are you?" and Bill goes "Well, I'm really Evil Ted!" and unzips himself and out pops Evil Ted, and the other robot goes, "And I'm really Evil Bill!" and out pops Evil Bill. When the robots are herding the girlfriends out just before knocking them out with their breath, you can see two sets of clothes in the bottom left corner if you watch closely.

Continuity mistake: When Bill, Ted, Death and Station, come back from heaven you can see when Death, falls to the ground that he is wearing black sneakers. Up until this point in the movie, he had been barefoot.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Death and Bill are playing Twister, Bill's left hand was on red and his right hand was on green. In the next shot when Death is putting his foot on blue, Bills hands are switched. In the same scene Bill's shoes are on the floor. After he wins they walk over to Death and his shoes are back on. He never had time between all the dialog to put them on.

Continuity mistake: When Death, falls to the ground when everyone gets back from heaven, when he's laying there his robe is covered in dirt from the desert ground. However, when he stands up and the scene cuts back and forth, there is no dirt on the front of his robe.

Continuity mistake: When Bill, Ted and Death are at the gates of heaven, they are all looking up to the gatekeeper, talking to him. Bill and Ted are in the foreground, with Death behind them. However, when we see a shot of them from behind, Death is in front of Bill and Ted.

Continuity mistake: If you watch the concert scenes, the audiences are all different because it was partially taped at Six Flags Magic Mountain and Culver City Studios. Hollywood (From G.L.O.W. Ladies Wrestling circa 1980's) was sitting in the front row on the viewer's right at the S.F.M.M. taping, and she's not there at the C.C.S. taping.

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Bill and Ted arrive in Hell, they fall down backward when the Devil pulls a lever. If you look closely as they fall, you can see Ted (or his stunt double) holding a stick, perhaps to help break the fall.

Continuity mistake: After getting the fake phone call from Joanna (evil Bill using her voice), Bill and Ted are sitting on the couch in their apartment. There's a knock on the door and Bill puts his hat on sideways. But when he opens the door, his hat is on backwards without adjusting it while walking to the door.

Continuity mistake: When Missy opens the book in the seance, she is holding a separate piece of paper on the pages of the book. The close up from behind, over her hand, shows no piece of paper. When the camera is in front of her, she is holding the paper again.

Continuity mistake: When Bill, Ted and their girlfriends are sitting at a table talking, Ted says "You probably noticed we haven't given you our gifts yet" with Pepsi cans visible on the table. After a close up of Bill then Ted, the camera goes back to a shot of all four sitting at the table, and the Pepsi cans have changed positions. (00:12:50)

Continuity mistake: After the Evil Bill and Ted knock on the Good Bill and Ted's door, good Bill reaches out to shake Evil Bill's hand. The camera switches to a behind shot of Good Bill and he reaches his hand out again. (00:19:35)

Justin Davis

Audio problem: At the police station, Bill as a ghost enters a man. He starts eating donuts. As he is eating he is also talking but his mouth doesn't match up.

Revealing mistake: After Evil Robot Ted dunks his own head in the basketball hoop and the head falls to the floor, you can see the hole cut in the floor where Keanu Reeves is poking his head through. (00:57:50)

Revealing mistake: When Bill and Ted are falling down to Hell, and they're playing 20 Questions, when Ted goes to give Bill a high-five, the plank Ted's laying on can be seen when his shirt stretches over it as he high-fives Bill.

More quotes from Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey

Trivia: Much of the guitar work done in this film was by guitar hero Steve Vai, who also worked on PCU and, perhaps more famously amongst guitarists, Crossroads. Pretty much all the guitar licks which are played throughout the film when Bill & Ted play air guitar are played by Steve, as well as "The Reaper Rap" - in the end credits.

Question: When the titles are running at the end, just after the headlines have stopped, the screen goes to black and the first title you see is "Taj Mahal". Obviously, I know what the Taj Mahal is, but why is it mentioned in the titles?

Answer: Taj Mahal is also the name of a blues singer who had a cameo role in the film (The Gatekeeper). He may have demanded a higher billing than the regular acting credits.
