After travelling through time in the first film the least likely heroic duo of all time (Quite literally! go beyond what anyone thought possible when two evil robots are sent back from the future to kill Bill and Ted. The jokes in this one are even better than the first as they meet every major player in the afterlife including, the devil, God, the greatest scientist in the universe and the grim reaper himself played to perfection by the underrated William Sadler.

Whilst the first film feels very much like a film of the eighties this one is more timeless in its appeal as the story stretches incredulity even further. Whilst anyone else may feel like being dead is a tragedy, Bill and Ted, due to their blind optimism, see it as a bit of a setback that they have been killed and try their utmost to return to the mortal coil, and for this, we, the viewer, love them for it.

The direction does not let up as we move from funny scene to funny scene with superbly stupid dialogue and wonderful acting from the two leads, their charm keeping your interest as we head towards the inevitable bizarre conclusion.

Many people have assessed, probably correctly, that when this film came out it was probably seen as outdated by an audience desperate to leave the eighties behind, whereas now that time has moved on we can watch it again with more an appreciation for the gags within it, rather than worrying about fashion or trends or seeming outdated for liking such a film. A good comedy is good comedy and will always outlast any fashion sensibilities, so shall it be with this film.

Underrated by movie goers but hopefully it will eventually crawl up the IMDb rankings.
