A tyrant from the future (Joss Acklund) creates evil android doubles of Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves) and sends them back to eliminate the originals.
Somehow, when this film came out, it had better reviews than the original. In retrospect, that baffles the mind. While not a bad film (William Sadler is especially good), there is no way this holds up to the original. It is a little too dark, the music a little too dated, the script a little too scatter-brained.
Talks of a third third continue... will it ever happen? I am starting to think not, though Keanu Reeves is now (2015) not the star he was from 1995-2005 and could probably make himself available... would Bill and Ted be the same, or would they have become mature adults?
