 Jill and Tina's Excellent Adventure

Stephanie Jackson and Chelsea Rice

In 1988 Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter and George Carlin made Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. In the film, two high school students--Bill and Ted--stumble onto a magic phone booth. In it they travel back into history, meeting Socrates, Genghis Khan, Abraham Lincoln and a host of other well known historical figures. In 2004-2005 two AP World History students (Stephanie as Jill and Chelsea as Tina) created a sequel. After learning that they need a spectacular final project in order to pass their history course (information relayed to them by Dr. Burnane, played by Neil Isakson), they travel back in time to meet Henry Ford (Justin Kerley), Gandhi (Eric Holzhauer) and Mao Tse-Tung (YiFeng Huang). Elizabeth Wolf is Mao's translator--sort of. Take a look--each film clip takes about 2 minutes to load.
