Favourite historical figure from "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" ?

Jane Wiedlin as aerobics Joan of Arc ftw

Oh man, the casts were great:

Clarence Clemons, Jane Wiedlin, Al Leong, Bernie Casey

this is hard

voting for the big man tho it was tough against napoleon

Genghis Khan in sports gear vs. Beethoven on synths?!

Alex Winter should have been included as an option.

so-crates, duh

when you think about it it makes total sense for clarence to be the future emperor of the future

imdb tells me that the other two important folks are the singers from the Tubes and the Motels.

you don't even have to THINK about that, max

that is entirely what i expect from the future

When the change was made uptown
And the Big Man joined THE FUTURE

I want to vote for Napoleon, who got an obviously great Zigy piggy badge but I feel that would be letting down all the other peoples. Bob Genghis Khan is great too. And So-crates was just so enjoyable, especially when he was playing catch with Billy the Kid in medieval England! This is like Sophie's choice, only with 13 children, not only two ;_;

i voted Napoleon but it should've been Socrates

Dust + Wind + Dude = So-Crates

so-CRAH-tays

Voted Genghis, just for the introductory shot where you see Alex Winter's arm hold out a half-unwrapped twinkie in the foreground. "Hey Genghis Khan, want a trinkie?"

i still get goosebumps when i watch the climactic scene where they give thier "report."

i believe it's "Historical Babes"

i believe you are right and am most sorry for such a mistake

"Two Heads Are Better Than One" is one of my all-time favourite songs.
Jane Weidlin as hott Joan Of Arc over Wolfie Smith's dad as So-crates? I'm torn.

im goin for abe. he saved their asses in the end.

i voted genghis.

his sporting goods store rampage moved me in ways no other film could at that young age.

Napoleon edges in over Socrates due to composure after being kicked out of the bowling alley, and the wonderment in the first waterslide encounter.

MERDE MERDE MERDE MERDE MERDE MERDE MERDE MERDE MERDE

Napoleon is also great because of his horrible French. Loveable little dude he is. Sacrebleu!

I love the way he says "Excuse-moi monsieur" to the bowling alley guy, and then "Paid? Bud-dee?"

"PETIT!" and he gets all pissed off.

Also, has there been a poll on the best/favourite/funnest/whatver time-travel movies? If not, somebody should definitely do one, i cant, as apart from this, back to the future and butterfly effect (it is a time travel right? or do alternate realities not count as tilme travel?) i cant come up with any.

oo you send me, you take me to the Rush Hour

Up until right now, I always thought all the songs played throughout the movie were supposed to be Wyld Stallions songs.

"In Time" is the only one that's supposed to be theirs, right? They hear it in the future. Then they cover Argent (Kiss covering Argent) in Bogus Journey.

every time hear "aerodynamic" by daft punk i picture dave beethoven on synth rocking out again

I never want to hear this.

http://www.mono211.com/popcultscanfun/bill-ted-napoleonf.jpg

see come on it's so totally napoleon, the other dudes are mostly funny for things B&T said to them

actually i voted for abe lincoln.

'perfect crime' is a good song

and, its napoleon by a landslide

so-crates.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Napoleon by a landslide? I dont think so, So-crates, for one, might upset the little man.

guys this is actually my favorite movie

watersliiiiiiiiiiide

The Reaper Rap rules. "you may be a king or a little street sweeper, but sooner or later you gonna dance with the reaper"!!!!

Bogus Journey >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Excellent Adventure

Socrates

also I'm voting for Beethoven because now every time I read his name I pronounce it as "beet oven" in my head.

pre-heroin Keanu should have been included as an option.

This and Feeling Minnesota are the only Keanu movies I've turned off after 20 minutes, tho I'd certainly have walked outta Johnny Mnemonic if I hadn't paid $9.

ah, crap. I voted for Socrates and then saw the Napoleon ice cream jpg.

"...he was a dick!"

turned off after 20 minutes

"They do get better."

Bogus Journey >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Excellent Adventure
Only if you are talking about the soundtracks.

no, I'm talking about how awesome the Grim Reaper is in that movie. "you sunk my battleship! best of five?"

Out of curiosity, I just popped in the DVD to see what 20 minutes in is. It's Rufus saying, "Gentlemen, you're on your own." right before they find out Napoleon hitched a ride on the phone booth. So right when it starts getting really good.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

surprise victory, it seems

Surprise victory indeed. I feel very sad for Billy the Kid though. He adapted to time travel so well and was such a fun dude, he really should have got a few votes

This and Feeling Minnesota are the only Keanu movies I've turned off after 20 minutes

Shame, you missed the homage to Bergman's Seventh Seal then.

that was Bogus Journey. duh.

Wasn't Rufus the guy from the future? He isn't an historical figure then.

He is in the future future.

Bogus Journey >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Excellent Adventure

so, so wrong (tho bogus journey is definitely underrated)

"why do you claim I'm NOT sigmund freud?"

So great

Bill: It is indeed a pleasure to introduce to you a gentleman we picked up in medieval Mongolia in the year 1269.
Ted: Please welcome, the very excellent barbarian...
Ted, Bill: ...MR. GENGHIS KHAN!
[All the students applaud wildly for Khan]
Ted: This is a dude who, 700 years ago, totally ravaged China, and who, we were told, 2 hours ago, totally ravaged Oshman's Sporting Goods.

what a great movie. really in the pantheon of american comedies.

Def a great movie. As soon as exams are over I'm watching both movies.

It was on TV about a month ago; totally stands up to re-watching.

I remember seeing Bogus Journey in the theatre aged about 11. This was back in the days where they still did intermissions, and the break happened during the fall down to hell; when the movie started up again, they were still falling. Awesome.
