Notes Feature film debut for director Pete Hewitt.
The name of Bill and Ted's heavy metal band is "Wyld Stallynz."
The sequences in Hell with the "Grim Reaper" are a comic hommage to Ingmar Bergman's "The Seventh Seal" (1957). In Bergman's film the protagonist plays a game of chess with "Death" in order to win a short reprieve from his fate and come back to life. In "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey", the duo challenge "His Royal Deathness" to games of Battleship, Clue and Twister.
