It’s hard to believe, but it’s been 25 years since Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure arrived and blew our minds on its way to becoming a cult classic.

In honor of the film’s anniversary, we’ve dug up eight little-known facts about the bodacious journey through time and space that’ll shed some new light on how Keanu’s big break came together. If nothing else, it’s a good way to pass the time while we wait on that mythical modern-day sequel.
