Arizona has some great scenery, which has led many movies to be set and or shot here. This week in our discussion of Phoenix in film, we wanted to talk about Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. In 1989 this Stephen Herek directed movie was released, staring Keanu Reeves and George Carlin, among others. It is a silly science fiction comedy. In this film two not-so-bright high schoolers, Bill and Ted have to pass history class, and so their future selves send Rufus on a mission to help them and save future society. Rufus helps them by taking them on a crazy trip using the time machine to help them "live" the history they must learn. The film was popular when it came out and is now a cult classic. Though the town Bill and Ted live in is supposed to be in California, the film was primarily shot in Phoenix and Scottsdale.
It is our pleasure to provide this information. If you are traveling to the Phoenix area for an extended stay or are in need of corporate housing please consider Zazu Pannee.
