They NEVER proved that the historical figures were actually who they were supposed to be.
Why would they need to? They could be hired actors. It really makes no difference to their report.
The audience was never given any evidence or proof that the guys are THE ACTUAL HISTORICAL FIGURES! NO EFFORT WHATSOEVER was spent to prove this.
Again, the audience doesn't need that. The point of their report isn't to prove that these are the real historical figures. The point was to show what historical figures would think of the present day, and their report accomplished that.
And this is redundant because it's just repeating the sentence before it.
Which leads to: they could simply have rented guys (and a feminazi) in costumes and achieved the same exact effect.
Yes. They could. But then they would have had to script everything that was said. And how exactly is Joan a feminazi?
I mean, the report being lame (which it undoubtedly was), basically NEGATES the whole point of the movie. Why go to the past to get the REAL things, if you are not utilizing them in a way that a fake ones could never have?
No, it doesn't. This only suggests you don't understand the point of the movie. The point was for Bill and Ted to pass their report so they could stay together and form Wyld Stallyns. Nobody ever said they had to collect real historical figures to pass their report.
Why go through ALL that time-traveling, risking your life, and trying to convince foreigners that don't speak english that they should perform for your 'oral report', when you could just promise a case of beer to your friends and family if they help you with the report, and rented a couple of costumes? Faster, easier, and more of a sure thing.
Because they didn't know squat about the historical figures in question. They learned a great deal about history during their trip. THAT was the point. Getting actors to play these roles wouldn't help anything if Bill and Ted didn't know anything about them or their circumstances.
Still, this is one of those movies that become more enjoyable the less you think about the plot, the time-travel inconsistencies, the goofy contradictions of the plot and the silly ending.
Further proving you have no idea what you're talking about. Give me a list of inconsistencies with the plot or the time travel.
Just learn to switch off the thinking faculties and just enjoy the ride - it's a fun, humorous, little movie, and good entertainment nevertheless.
You probably should have turned yours on before you posted this gibberish.

She's female and succesful. That's all the reason Limbaugh-Lickers need.
