Anyone else get a little teary eyed in this part? There's something unexplainable but this scene for some reason to me is just so beautiful.....because of that song! I guess it's because it makes these guys who think they are a couple of nobodies into two guys who mattered so much to so many people without knowing it. I feel like a nobody but this scene gives me some hope that maybe one day I will matter to many. **sniffs**
What helps more is how Bill & Ted see this moment as a curiosity and not as a personal advantage. They don't see this and go "We made the future." They look at it and see this as THE FUTURE.
The air guitar pendulum's...with their wide arcs and deliberate pauses performed by the onlookers...are the best part of this scene, because of how something so corny could transform into such an impactful and defining gesture, symbolizing Bill and Ted's legacy, and now emulated by people much older than they. It proves to them that they will amount to something.
Agreed. I like how Bill & Ted didn't know this, and how the scene did not explain their importance...only that there was one. Its like, how someone react if they felt like failures in the present, or just ordinary people that no one paid much attention to; and then suddenly someone from 40 years in the future travels back and brings them to their present. They arrive on a stage in a packed stadium, where upon walking out and being recognized, tens of thousands of people give an overwhelming applause and standing ovation. Perhaps because that person was destined to cure cancer or invent something that benefits everyone across the planet. -- The catch being that nothing is explained to their younger self, and he or she having no idea what they are being honored for, because they hadn't yet found their calling and started on their path. All they know is that whatever it was they did, it was obviously important enough to warrant the praise. -- Then that person is returned to their present (40 years earlier), and told something vague like "Follow your dreams" but given no specifics. I wonder if that would have an inspirational, positive effect..and perhaps cause them to make the achievement even sooner. Or if it will have an unexpectedly detrimental effect, because the experience made the person over-confident and more of a dreamer; 'living in the future', fantasizing on the praise and recognition of being important someday...but not putting forth the same effort they did in the original timeline... as maybe in the original timeline their determination to succeed was fueled by the challenges, struggles, uncertainties, doubts, and their sheer desire not to let those things cause them to fail. I'm just wondering out loud. I hadn't thought about this before now.
I think the important thing isn't so much what you will or might do, but that you can do something. Every single one of us has a limited amount of time in this world but our impact is there. We're not just insignificant blips on a radar. We are forced so of nature that have the power to change the very fabric of the universe simply by our presence.
To this day... In this crazy mad world we live in...One of those few things that decades later still does the job...emotional true and honest... To anyone reading this post... Be excellent to each other
It's almost poetic how in 2019, Keanu Reeves says something just as compelling, "Those who love us will miss us," after being asked what happens after we die.
Oooooomg..I thought I was the only one..I was watching the movie last week ...I don't know why but on that part tears was just coming down. They were happy emotional tears idk 🤷 and I seen this movie a billion times..I'm glad you explained it..because I couldnt
Be excellent to each other. = Love thy nieghbor as thy self. Be kind to on another. Party on dudes = Charish the moment. Enjoy life. Have fun. Find love.
I think everyone realizes that there was so much more wisdom in this movie than anyone was willing to accept😊. Thanks for bringing it forward. I would add to the "party on dudes": celebrate and be grateful
Bill's facial expressions here are genuinely amazing. You can see he is both fearful and in awe of what he is seeing, but doesn't quite understand the scale of it all.
Good analysis, I’ve always loved how he looks around when stepping out of the booth, it’s stuck with me all these years, and your comment nails it… great scene, and great acting too, nice one 👍🏻
Needed to see this memory again today from my childhood years. A promise that everything will truly be alright. And here we are in 2024. Let us never forget to always... BE EXCELLENT TO EACHOTHER.
Brilliant scene, rather than follow the rich and powerful the world decided to live by the example of two decent kids who wore there hearts on their sleeve and wanted to enjoy life.
Happy Bill and Ted day to you today. This scene has inspired me since I first saw this movie. I talk about it often and I'm happy to see others comments on it.
The fact that they believed they were nobodies but find out they are probably the most important historical figures of all time is so endearing to those who feel the same as they did
@@elliotjames1273 The lead intro? IMO, it's very Hendrix-esque/late 60's style of lead playing. The rest of the song is in the vein of something like U2.
The Gen Xer have been traditionally the most realistic about life and their ability to make decisions has been being put to the test by Baby Boomers who just don’t want to let them take over. So the Gen Xer have been waiting patiently to get their turn for decades while they are held back by the super old running this country.
Good Times remember my mum renting this watching it with her and my brother and sister sadly my mum and dad passed and have no contact with my brother and sister anymore sometimes just wish could turn back time 😢
100% get teary eyed! There is a feeling of healing , light and unity in this moment with this extraordinary song... It's inexplicable... Emotional and incredible
It's one of the things I miss most when I try and watch a modern movie. It's all so rushed. I feel I can't get immersed in modern movies because they don't take their time.
The greatness about this scene is knowing that your legacy will live on...knowing that you mattered. So keep working hard on your dream and don't give up!
Think about the last time you saw Hollywood put together a scene like this that is so powerful, inspiring, moving and artistic. They just don’t make them like they used to.
You just know that in Bill and Ted Face the Music... This is the song they make to save the universe. In Time... it's theirs. Which is why this scene becomes so retroactively the most important scene of this movie. Amazing.
Yea I was really disappointed at the ending of face the music, I liked the story but the song that plays at the end just wasn’t this song. Still tho I liked the film but I prefer this song
@@Ben-pd2bx ugh i really wanted to like the third movie but it was just so underwhelming this film was way better than the 2nd one, but even the 2nd one has some rewatchability. i don't think i could ever rewatch the third bill and ted
It's the fact that no matter how insignificant we believe our lives are we are all meant for something. I may never do anything incredibly important, my children might not do the same but regardless somewhere done the line something will happen and the knowledge of knowing it would never happen without my existence . Very comforting to know and not just believe that there are no accidents and we are all here for a purpose
Me and my brother favorite movie as a kid. I watched this the other day and sat up straight because of the importance of the scene. It's also good to see that people also felt the same way I felt.
This scene just works so well. The exceptional ‘In Time’ in the background, but more importantly it’s a coming-of-age moment for the duo as they finally realise the enormity of the situation. A truly bodacious three or so minutes
I have asked my tattoo artist to do the phone booth because as a kid I idolized bill and ted. He said that it always comes out weird looking but I think I have a better idea. Getting the words In Time are better. Because no matter how many times I hear this song or the guitar riffs or Robbie Robb singing brings me back to when I was a kid.
i used to HATE this scene as a kid... granted, i was only 8 and wanted to get back to the "most excellent" adventure. though watching this as an adult, i love it.. i absolutely love it. it's strangely touching and very emotional. a perfect society moving in perfect harmony. you cant help but tear up at the thought of such a simple edict, given the world we live in today. be excellent to each other, and party one dude. it's almost like, this was the future you really wanted to live in.
I was the same way when I was a kid I always wanted to get past this scene. Now this is my favorite scene from the movie. Second being at the end when. Ted is talking to Bill about everything they've been through and says Look at us nothing is different.
That is a world for dreamers, perhaps -- the realists cannot exist there, i suppose. If we were inspired by that movie and hold course to realize that future, or a future like it, we had scores of years, decades... and where and when did we drop the ball? More wars, more economic displacements, more billionaires, more poor people, loss of agency , rich people abusing privilege, and none of these dream even gain fruition. Apologies to the future that is never born.
Simpler times back then. I remember watching this movie and hearing this song, just dreaming about how life would be like in the “future”. Be excellent to each other. Always.
This scene is probably what confirmed "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure," as my favorite movie of all time. It's not a masterpiece like Citizen Kane, as grandiose as Avengers Endgame, but because it doesn't need to be. Bill and Ted knew what it wanted to be. And it's scenes like this that make me love it.
Would be trippy as hell for those future people, having the two founders of their Utopian society, who from their perspective have been dead for centuries, showing up and dropping their famous quotes without realising their historical significance :) I also love that the movement of strumming a guitar has become a gesture of respect and that the 3 elder leader guys do a slightly more refined version of it :D
Something about this scene just is amazing! From the subtle looks bill and ted give implying that they know this is something bigger than both of them but oddly familiar, to the respect the future people give them and then the concern at the end when they know the machine isn’t working properly.
My favorite part of this is that I feel the film means for this song to actual be one of Bill & Ted's actual songs that they write at some point in the future...the singer even sounds a bit like Keanu. Which goes back to what you are saying...Bill and Ted almost want to acknowledge that it sounds REALLY familiar somehow, but in the end it's just "Most outstanding." At least that's my interpretation of it :)
Tommylad2 the scene is great because it takes u off guard for a few minutes. Yeah they're in a time machine to do a history report and u forget... Oh, it can go into the future too.. it's a time machine. That with the music. Most excellent scene.
It really is perfect. It's like if you imagine a young Galileo, before his greatest achievements, showing up at NASA in time to see the Apollo 11 launch. He doesn't necessarily understand the things around him, or the significance of his own future contributions.
I didn't see this movie until this year. The fact that these two were faced with the reality that an entire civilation was hanging on their very words, and what they chose to say was; "Be excellent to each other," and "Party on dudes!" Is so weirdly moving. And then the lyrics of the song in the background feel so goddamn important after a year as horrible as 2020 become comforting. "In time, everything will be alright. In time, we'll be dancing in the streets all night."
A future exists where the 80s are still alive, and guitar-driven rock ballads fill the great halls. People, somewhere we went wrong...and we must make it right. We need Bill and Ted now.
When I saw this as a kid in theater in the 80s, I didn't understand it. Now that I'm in my 40s, I still don't quite understand it-but I know its emotional. Bill and Ted are "The Great Ones". This scene justifies the entire movie.
This song will be played at my funeral someday. Because when I go to Heaven I want Bill and Ted to Welcome me so I can shake Robbie Robb and their Hands and thank them for creating a Masterpiece of a movie! "Be Excellent to each other!" 👍😃
In the 80's it seemed possible that people might treat each other better in the future. Two years after this was made the world belonged to the west... and we squandered it.
I love this scene. Even with the Cold War going on, there was so much optimism in the 1980s. We need to recapture that spirit and make it more contemporary in our own modern lives. #beexcellenttoachother #intime ❤️🎸🎤
Imagine this from the perspective of the people in the film. You're lucky enough to be there when the foundational cornerstones of your society stumble in, before they have a chance to become said cornerstones. You don't have enough time to do anything but collectively give a symbolic thank you to them. It's just so pure. I think it goes the other way, too. I feel like this is when it really hits Bill and Ted. It's not just Rufus saying stuff, its their societal descendants in front of them, showing them that they matter, and that they are important, and nothing will change that. You can see it in Winter's and Reeve's faces, they are gobsmacked. Everyone has told them that they aren't worth a thing, but... here is people saying thank you. They _matter_.
Awww, this entire scene means that the future is going to be okay. As long as we're excellent to each other, and party on. Can't get more simple than that.
Anyone else get a little teary eyed in this part? There's something unexplainable but this scene for some reason to me is just so beautiful.....because of that song!

We’re gonna make it? Right bros?
@DENSITY SHORTS I always thought that music was bill and Ted from the future
One thing's for sure - in time, everything will be alright.
I hear ya…idk if I’d say teary eyed but it certainly has some power to this scene…strikes a cord with me (pun 😄)
What helps more is how Bill & Ted see this moment as a curiosity and not as a personal advantage. They don't see this and go "We made the future." They look at it and see this as THE FUTURE.

Why does this song hit in the feels so much ?
This was my buddy Zac's favorite movie. He passed away four years ago today.
We miss you, man.
Hang tough. In time everything will be alright.
I've had a brush with death. He's somewhere, and if he's any decent guy, it's a good place. Trust me on this one.
My wife and my wedding party walked down the aisle to this song. I loved it so much my entire life that it only made sense
I consider this one of the most perfect movie scenes ever filmed.
Excellent!!
The greatest movie scene of all time
Such an unexpectedly moving and emotional scene.
Right?!? I always thought it was but it seems more relevant somehow now that I'm older.
I've said for as long as I can remember how emotional this scene is for me personally. Happy Bill and Ted Day today on 6/9!
It never fails to make me cry. I'm in tears now.
@@mattgibson9991 I'm with you dude
I hope the new film has such a scene. Please.
For me this scene was the heart of the movie
10/10 coolest movie... wish they where more like this
Imagine knowing that you'll be important to someone, someday, even if you don't feel like it will ever happen.
Nathanielle Crawford that's the best comment I've read on this video. Excellent movie.

It's almost poetic how in 2019, Keanu Reeves says something just as compelling, "Those who love us will miss us," after being asked what happens after we die.

When we die we go to a wonderful place. Where time does not exist.
And we know what true unconditional love is

Coolest scene ever. At 47 years of age I am still standing and do the air guitar for this scene.
And very good music too.
Me too
Basic words to live by...
"Be excellent to each other"

This song seemed so magical to me as a kid watching this movie. Such a Quintessential 80's sound
That guitar IS pure magic, never heard it’s like anywhere else.
Same
@@elliotjames1273 I know. It makes you feel at peace and wanna jam at the same time.
@@elliotjames1273 The lead intro? IMO, it's very Hendrix-esque/late 60's style of lead playing. The rest of the song is in the vein of something like U2.
It is magical
This is my favorite scene
"Be excellent to each other" is a phrase that this generation has forgotten.
The "Be excellent to each other" faction has always seemed small, yet have accomplished great things.
The Gen Xer have been traditionally the most realistic about life and their ability to make decisions has been being put to the test by Baby Boomers who just don’t want to let them take over. So the Gen Xer have been waiting patiently to get their turn for decades while they are held back by the super old running this country.
If people could follow something as simple as "Be excellent to eachother." The world really would be a better place.
"No matter what happens, we'll be OK."
Omg. I found this after watching the extremely emotional scene of Mr Robot with Elliot trying to bring Angela back to reality. You rock cj
Dude it blows my mind that this song was in that show
song makes me get emotional
Good Times remember my mum renting this watching it with her and my brother and sister sadly my mum and dad passed and have no contact with my brother and sister anymore sometimes just wish could turn back time 😢
I feel like we who seek out this scene are the people in the future within this scene who want to see and hear Bill & Ted speak.
A fantastic 80s song that holds true in the test of time. “Be excellent to each other!”
We have forgotten the wisdom of the great ones.
And party on dude!!
100% get teary eyed! There is a feeling of healing , light and unity in this moment with this extraordinary song... It's inexplicable... Emotional and incredible
@alyshaedelman4301 was this song,suppose to be,bill & Ted from the future? I always thought this was the song that saved the world
Just imagine what kind of world we'd have if we were excellent to each other....
Now more than ever, we need them. Be excellent to each other.
Back when movies took their time. The shots are slow and steady. Nothing rushed, great music.
It's one of the things I miss most when I try and watch a modern movie. It's all so rushed. I feel I can't get immersed in modern movies because they don't take their time.
If only the world was based completely around love. How different things would be.
The greatness about this scene is knowing that your legacy will live on...knowing that you mattered. So keep working hard on your dream and don't give up!
Happy Bill and Ted day to you today!
🥺😭🙌
Well said!
It's You ! yeah it's us, Who are we? The most underrated quote in the film
Its funny because after Ted says who are we, Bill shakes his head like i dont know. Lmao
Think about the last time you saw Hollywood put together a scene like this that is so powerful, inspiring, moving and artistic. They just don’t make them like they used to.
Love the little smile the head councilman gives them at that pun they tell! Like... "Aww you sweet dorks! We love the f--- out of you!"
as years go by.... i keep understanding the impact this scene had in my life. Best scene ever!
They have the best chemistry of any "buddy movie" ever.
You just know that in Bill and Ted Face the Music... This is the song they make to save the universe. In Time... it's theirs. Which is why this scene becomes so retroactively the most important scene of this movie.
Amazing.
That would be great. But it didn't happened 😔 too bad
Yea I was really disappointed at the ending of face the music, I liked the story but the song that plays at the end just wasn’t this song. Still tho I liked the film but I prefer this song

Hell yes!!!
I hope all of you are excellent to eachother, because I love you all....
I can say they nailed the movie. It is a most worthy sequel. Though not the best movie in the trilogy.
Seen it today it was most excellent dude!!
Kind of annoyed that this song wasnt the one that united the universe
The future believed in these two, the message they sent, the bond they carried, the actions they displayed: made a impact on the future
Gets me everytime ....what is it about this scene its shows humility ,peace,basic human interaction
😭🥺💙🙌
This beautiful scene will live forever, In Time 🤘
party on dude, you know it
Yessssssss :):):)
Scorp111786 this and the mall scene were some of my favorite parts of the movie.
See you on the streets as we dance
It will my friend...trust me on that !

From a time when music was hysterical. I assure you won't see movies like this anymore.
Hysterical ??
Greatest movie scene ever. The 80s fuckin rocked. Miss those days.
Me and my brother favorite movie as a kid. I watched this the other day and sat up straight because of the importance of the scene. It's also good to see that people also felt the same way I felt.
The soundtrack to this film is so goddamn fire, volcanoes could take a goddamn lesson!!!! God*damn!!!!!!*
This scene just works so well. The exceptional ‘In Time’ in the background, but more importantly it’s a coming-of-age moment for the duo as they finally realise the enormity of the situation.
A truly bodacious three or so minutes
@KateJacksonLincoln I've always wondered, was this suppose to bill and Ted music from the future? Even though there voices dont match
This scenes always gives me hope for humanity. Pure acting gold❤
Just learned today in 2022 that The Great Ones are floating above a Mini Circle K
I have asked my tattoo artist to do the phone booth because as a kid I idolized bill and ted. He said that it always comes out weird looking but I think I have a better idea. Getting the words In Time are better. Because no matter how many times I hear this song or the guitar riffs or Robbie Robb singing brings me back to when I was a kid.
The Greatest scene in any 80s movie
i used to HATE this scene as a kid... granted, i was only 8 and wanted to get back to the "most excellent" adventure. though watching this as an adult, i love it.. i absolutely love it. it's strangely touching and very emotional. a perfect society moving in perfect harmony.
you cant help but tear up at the thought of such a simple edict, given the world we live in today. be excellent to each other, and party one dude. it's almost like, this was the future you really wanted to live in.
Same here mate. This scene is pure brilliance and I'm very happy to see that many people agree.
I was the same way when I was a kid I always wanted to get past this scene.
Now this is my favorite scene from the movie. Second being at the end when. Ted is talking to Bill about everything they've been through and says Look at us nothing is different.
Balance and stuff is cool but somtimes you just gotta party on dudes
So you were born in 1981?
That is a world for dreamers, perhaps -- the realists cannot exist there, i suppose.
If we were inspired by that movie and hold course to realize that future, or a future like it, we had scores of years, decades... and where and when did we drop the ball?
More wars, more economic displacements, more billionaires, more poor people, loss of agency , rich people abusing privilege, and none of these dream even gain fruition.
Apologies to the future that is never born.
This is the definition of Gen X.
Be excellent to each other.
Bill and Ted's message of be excellent to each other and party on dudes is what would make a better 2024 and on. So simple but still true!
The world needs people like Bill and Ted. Please be excellent to each other.
This song is better than face the music, perfect to save the world imo 😔😔
Bill and Ted did give us a lesson.
We learn from the past, to make a brighter future for everyone.
Simpler times back then. I remember watching this movie and hearing this song, just dreaming about how life would be like in the “future”. Be excellent to each other. Always.
I feel you bro. One of my fav childhood movies and this song is pure epic
I think the most under appreciated part is how cool the council guy in the middle hair looks. Simply outstanding.
"It's a history report...not a future report!"
So many great and original one liners in this movie!
Bill & Ted 3.
This song better be in that.
This scene is probably what confirmed "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure," as my favorite movie of all time. It's not a masterpiece like Citizen Kane, as grandiose as Avengers Endgame, but because it doesn't need to be. Bill and Ted knew what it wanted to be. And it's scenes like this that make me love it.
Ed Solomon Chris Matthews need a shout out, this movie was there masterpiece.
It’s fucking beautiful
As if you’re comparing this to end game haha
Endgame is the start of the woke downfall of Marvel. Don’t compare that garbage to Citizen Cane or even this film.
A simple yet powerful scene.
Would be trippy as hell for those future people, having the two founders of their Utopian society, who from their perspective have been dead for centuries, showing up and dropping their famous quotes without realising their historical significance :)
I also love that the movement of strumming a guitar has become a gesture of respect and that the 3 elder leader guys do a slightly more refined version of it :D
This scene is like a teenage Moses stepping out a time machine to modern day Israel and just pulling the Ten Commandments out of his ass.
Something about this scene just is amazing! From the subtle looks bill and ted give implying that they know this is something bigger than both of them but oddly familiar, to the respect the future people give them and then the concern at the end when they know the machine isn’t working properly.
My favorite part of this is that I feel the film means for this song to actual be one of Bill & Ted's actual songs that they write at some point in the future...the singer even sounds a bit like Keanu. Which goes back to what you are saying...Bill and Ted almost want to acknowledge that it sounds REALLY familiar somehow, but in the end it's just "Most outstanding." At least that's my interpretation of it :)
Sorry if that sounds either really dumb, or "no duh, obviously" lol...I just love this scene. ;)
Tommylad2 the scene is great because it takes u off guard for a few minutes. Yeah they're in a time machine to do a history report and u forget... Oh, it can go into the future too.. it's a time machine. That with the music. Most excellent scene.
It really is perfect. It's like if you imagine a young Galileo, before his greatest achievements, showing up at NASA in time to see the Apollo 11 launch. He doesn't necessarily understand the things around him, or the significance of his own future contributions.
Alex Winter (as Bill)'s sober reaction at 1:40 was priceless. They don't yet understand their importance in this future, only that there *is* one.
Whoever needs to hear this, it may not seem like it now but you are important. Never give up and always be excellent.
For me, this movie is the closing of the 80s
You ever have one of those scenes in a film that gets you really emotional but you can’t explain why. Ye that’s this scene for me
Pure nostalgia and what a great song!
I didn't see this movie until this year.
The fact that these two were faced with the reality that an entire civilation was hanging on their very words, and what they chose to say was; "Be excellent to each other," and "Party on dudes!" Is so weirdly moving. And then the lyrics of the song in the background feel so goddamn important after a year as horrible as 2020 become comforting.
"In time, everything will be alright. In time, we'll be dancing in the streets all night."
A future exists where the 80s are still alive, and guitar-driven rock ballads fill the great halls. People, somewhere we went wrong...and we must make it right. We need Bill and Ted now.
Agreed. Have you seen Black Mirror: San Junipero? A VR-afterlife where it's always the 1980s.
@@manco828yep! Love that episode
When I saw this as a kid in theater in the 80s, I didn't understand it. Now that I'm in my 40s, I still don't quite understand it-but I know its emotional. Bill and Ted are "The Great Ones". This scene justifies the entire movie.
@boat6float I always thought it was bill and Ted from the future. I thought was the song that saved the world
Me encanto la musica "in time" de fondo. Muy futurista. Sean exelentes unos con otros
This will always be my favorite scene in the trilogy
Air guitar becoming the future equivalent to applause is so clutch.
I love the respect the pair of them showed. Most outstanding.
I always wanted to say something about this little clip from the movie. STATION!
This song will be played at my funeral someday. Because when I go to Heaven I want Bill and Ted to Welcome me so I can shake Robbie Robb and their Hands and thank them for creating a Masterpiece of a movie! "Be Excellent to each other!" 👍😃
Seconded.
Could this be what entering heaven looks like and would sound like.
I sure hope so
And in all actuality, everyone WILL be EXCELLENT to each other.
Don’t know why I shed a tear everytime! Gets me every time!
Bill & Ted
Face The Music
...an answer to prayer 😂
In the 80's it seemed possible that people might treat each other better in the future. Two years after this was made the world belonged to the west... and we squandered it.
I love this scene. Even with the Cold War going on, there was so much optimism in the 1980s. We need to recapture that spirit and make it more contemporary in our own modern lives. #beexcellenttoachother #intime ❤️🎸🎤
A very under appreciated song from an amazing film.
Imagine this from the perspective of the people in the film. You're lucky enough to be there when the foundational cornerstones of your society stumble in, before they have a chance to become said cornerstones. You don't have enough time to do anything but collectively give a symbolic thank you to them. It's just so pure.
I think it goes the other way, too. I feel like this is when it really hits Bill and Ted. It's not just Rufus saying stuff, its their societal descendants in front of them, showing them that they matter, and that they are important, and nothing will change that. You can see it in Winter's and Reeve's faces, they are gobsmacked. Everyone has told them that they aren't worth a thing, but... here is people saying thank you. They _matter_.
i get so amazed when i watch this scene
This should be the motto for 2020 and beyond.
They have a good message.
Awww, this entire scene means that the future is going to be okay. As long as we're excellent to each other, and party on. Can't get more simple than that.
Be excellent to eachother, and party on dudes.
This should have been the song they came up with to unite the world in the third movie
Agreed
Keanu would have looked so much better with his beard and mustache in the 3rd bill and Ted movie
