Dan Shor, who played the lovable Billy the Kid, was just coming off being a series regular on Cagney and Lacey when his character was killed off. "They had just killed me, and then they won all the Emmy awards for my death!" he says over the p...
Reeves and Winter were, of course, the stars of the shoot, but from the testimony of the other cast members, they made everyone feel excellent. "They were just so lovable," Shor says. "But this is the interesting part: I thought Alex Winter was going to be this big star and Keanu would be the puppy dog sidekick. Little did I know what chemistry is....

As Stoch explains, the production company went bankrupt and it was almost two years before Orion swooped in and finally cut the film together for release...
A sequel to Excellent Adventure called Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey was released in 1991.

But Bogus Journey wasn't as well-...
