Trivia: In the scene where Bill and Ted are addressing God, there are 2 statues at the base of the staircase. One is of Michael Powell and the other is of David Niven, an homage to Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s afterlife classic A Matter of Life and Death (1946). The stairway itself is the same as the one in that film, which has the USA title “Stairway to Heaven”.
 

Goofs: Revealing mistakes: When Evil Bill removes his head and throws it at the basketball hoop, the actor’s real head is visible.
