Talk:Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey

Bill & Ted's Divine Comedy
Have you noticed how Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey seems structurally similar to Dante Aligheri's Divine Comedy: they travel to Hell (Inferno),play a series of games with the Grim Reaper (Purgatorio) to be able to reach Heaven before coming back to life (Paradiso). - R.G. 03:49, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Reference to the chess game scene from The Seventh Seal
There used to be a phrase in this article, saying that the games against Death appear to be a parody of the chess game scene from Ingmar Bergman's film The Seventh Seal. Why was it removed? isn't it correct? Tdunsky (talk) 14:06, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

"station"
The word "station" is used many times, not just in reference to the aliens. Does anyone know why?
 * Not sure what you are referring to -Dmz5 20:30, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * "Station" is the name of the aliens. Val42 19:06, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Right but I'm not sure what the above user refers to when s/he says it's used "many times" and in other contexts - I don't see such usage in the article.--Dmz5 19:37, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I think the user is referring to the movie itself. And to answer the question, the only reason I can think of is that the movie was attempting to create a new trendy slang word. Obviously, if that was the intention, they failed. Zaron 21:04, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The guy from Faith No More uses it for no appearant reason and the students in the future respond with it. Perhaps that was to be the new "Be excellent to eachother and party on dude" Ryratt 15:07, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It's also on the song 'The Perfect Crime' that Faith No More did for the movie's soundtrack. I think they were trying to make a new 'kids' word or something. Spugmeister 19:10, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * AIUI, the Station aliens use the word 'station' to mean pretty much anything and everything - as it is all they say. The idea was that through B&T's contact with the aliens, they would pick up using 'station' too. In the future everyone speaks like B&T. Therefore the characters from future (e.g. the evil robots) use the word 'station' because B&T themselves will start up using it after the events in the film. 89.145.211.74 (talk) 15:41, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Exactly. "Station" is like a more efficient version of "smurf." --Bobak (talk) 21:44, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Comic adaptation
It's mentioned here and there in the article, but not in any great detail. What gives?

God Gave Rock and Roll to You
At different places on the page it says that it is the kiss version and the argent version of this song that is played in the movie, could someone find a reference that is acurite and stick to the same thing throughout the page.

Cluedo?
Apparently, Cluedo is the British name for the board game called "Clue" in U.S. Although I haven't seen the movie in a long time, it seems to me that Bill and Ted, being from California, would have been playing "Clue", not "Cluedo". 69.95.232.65 (talk) 20:29, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Use of title 'Bill & Ted Go To Hell' in Australia +- outside USA
I am certain that this film was distributed as 'Bill & Ted Go To Hell' when I saw it at the Civic Twin (Greater Union) in Canberra, Australia. I recall being surprised when I saw this Bogus Journey title later on (as a teenager I was thrilled with the earlier title.)

Can anyone confirm or deny this? (Was it released in Australia prior to the change? Or perhaps more relaxed authorities?)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.128.40.84 (talk) 12:00, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

A minor quibble
Hello, all,

Last night I watched this movie with the subtitles running. Ted's name, as he gives it, and as it is spelled out in subtitles, is Ted "Theodore" Logan. It's a rather subtle joke, implying Ted is not smart enough to know his own name because he believes his nickname is his actual name. Still, it looks as though some correction is in order.

Actually, is he not just slightly making fun of Bill for using the 'S.' by adding up a made up middle name? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.99.84.226 (talk) 11:59, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

I've corrected his name to Ted "Theodore" Logan - whatever the logic behind the joke is, that is the form consistently used in both films when Ted gives his full name. JezGrove (talk) 22:09, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
