10 More Film Secrets That Were Hiding In Plain Sight
8. The Supreme Beings Are Hovering Above A Tiny Convenience Store - Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
Here's an especially mind-melting secret because it only became noticeable once the movie was released on 4K Blu-ray, more than 30 years after its original theatrical release.
In Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, the titular duo (Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves) eventually travel to the far future, where they discover a utopian society that worships them and their music.
In the scene we meet three supreme beings, who are shown levitating on top of a large, bench-like object.
In previous releases of the movie it simply wasn't possible to get a clear look at the object, but per the higher-resolution 4K release, it's revealed to be a miniature version of the Circle K convenience store where Rufus (George Carlin) first locates the duo and sets their glorious future in motion.
Evidently the Circle K has itself become a totem of worship for the future society, a fact which surprised both Alex Winter and the film's writer, Ed Solomon, neither of whom had any memory of this prop appearing on set. Incredible.
