[edit] 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)

[edit] "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)

[edit] comic adaptation

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

[edit] 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.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bogus Journey 2.jpg

Image:Bogus Journey 2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] 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)
