Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure came out over 30 years ago, and fans are just now finding out about an Easter egg from inside the movie that no one, not even one of the stars and the film’s director, had noticed before now. Viewers are well aware that the convenience store Circle K is a pivotal location in the movie, as it is where Bill and Ted first meet Rufus, first step into the time-traveling phone booth, and first mete their future selves. But it turns out that the Circle K has an even deeper meaning.
In a recent Tweet from Shout! Factory, it was pointed out in a screenshot from the movie that the platform below The Great Ones was actually a futuristic looking Circle K, complete with the logo. This would have been visible in the theatrical release, but not in the darker cuts we got on VHS or DVD even. Fans can now see it in the 4K release of the film, but the funny part is that one of the stars and the film’s director didn’t even know about it!
Alex Winter, who played Bill in the movie, jumped in on the conversation and Tweeted, “I have absolutely no memory of this. @ed_solomon do you?” Ed Solomon directed the movie, so you’d think he was the one who thought to put that there in the first place, but he also surprisingly had no recollection. Winter went on to speculate that the Easter egg was likely the work of the film’s production designer Roy Forge Smith, who unfortunately passed away in 2017. It’s too bad he wasn’t able to respond to his set design that took over three decades for fans to appreciate. I bet he would have gotten a kick out of it.
🤯 I have absolutely no memory of this. @ed_solomon do you? https://t.co/JKCgpZu6KM
