This movie surprised me with how many big names Judge got for the voicework, and not just for cameos. Bruce Willis and Demi Moore both play significant roles, Cloris Leachman performs her usual vocal wizardry, and Robert Stack skewers his own TV personae wonderfully as a fanatical ATF agent convinced that they’re criminal masterminds. The topicality of psycho ATF agents is lost a little bit, but the archetype is not. One of my favorite moments for Stack is when he berated his assistant for ending a sentence with a preposition, forcing the poor fellow to make his sentences so grammatically correct as to be almost unintelligible. Take that, constipated purists of the English language! Heh.

Anyway, unlike most of the B & B shorts, some of which I’ve since seen, there’s a real story to the movie - a spy thriller, in fact - satire and parody up the butt, and while not the most well-rounded characters, at least realistic ones. Except the boys, that is, aka the only teens that Bill and Ted could run rings around, intellectually.
