Bill & Ted Get a Most Excellent Blu-ray Collection From Shout Factory!!

Published

on

From the past to the future, and to Hell and back… witness the triumphant travels of history’s most significant slackers Bill & Ted, in a bodacious, two-film Blu-ray set that’ll have you tuning up your air guitar for a stellar solo!

Wyld Stallyns couldn’t drag you away from this most excellent collection arriving on September 20 from Shout Factory!

Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure finds our non-heinous heroes (Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves) in danger of flunking History – a most odious proposition! But when the righteous Rufus (George Carlin) arrives in a time-traveling phone booth, the dense dudes discover their destiny… and call on the past’s biggest names for help!

In Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, the titular time travelers aren’t making history — they are history! When an evil-doer from the future sends eviller robot twins of Bill & Ted to assassinate and replace good, non-robot Bill & Ted, the guys wind up face to face with the Grim Reaper (William Sadler)! Can the now-dead duo escape, defeat their evil doppelgangers, and win their Battle of the Bands contest?

Extra features are still to be revealed, but expect new interviews and commentary tracks. We can only hope that we’ll see the infamous alternate ending to Excellent Adventure as well as the various Bogus Journey deleted scenes that are well documented. After years of watching these films on DVD and rushing to get my fill before Netflix pulled them off their service, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief knowing we’ll have HD quality versions of the films to watch whenever we want to shred with Wyld Stallyns!

An exclusive, limited edition 8″ tall Rufus action figure by NECA
An exclusive, limited edition 18″ x 24″ lithograph of the newly-designed art from artist Paul Shipper (this lithograph will ship rolled, in a poster tube)
Two 6″ x 4″ Bill & Ted stickers
