Because there have been about 2 new threads in the past two days, I'm posting this.
Massive screenplay flaw in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure:
Rufus mentions that the clock in San Dimas is always running, so Bill and Ted have an imposed time limit to finish their book report. However, they have the ability to dial "one number higher", which allows them to meet themselves at the convenience store.
However, this also unwittingly gives them the ability to have as much time as they need for their report as not only do they have bonus time while collecting various historical figures, they could also simply re-appear at the convenience store right after their other two pairs of selves leave, and have all the time they need to prepare the report.
Also, in order to rescue their historical friends right before their report, Bill and Ted must plan to go back in time after the report and plant some keys where they can find them(which will also not work in general accepted time travel theory).
In short, this movie fails at writing, and time travel.
