4. Death & Dennis Steal The Show

It probably won't surprise anyone who's seen Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey that Death (William Sadler) once again steals the show this time around.

Just as he was easily the funniest thing in Bogus Journey, Death is a comic force of nature in Face the Music, largely thanks to William Sadler's exceptional line delivery and physical performance.

Though he doesn't show up until the movie's third act, Death's reunion with Bill and Ted is the film's easy highlight, with much of his screen time devoted to detailing what he's been up to for the last three decades.

Earning joint MVP honours, however, is Anthony Carrigan, who is gut-bustingly funny as the aforementioned cyborg assassin Dennis Caleb McCoy.

We've deliberately not included an image of Dennis because you're better off seeing him first for yourself, but Carrigan's deliciously awkward yet oddly endearing line delivery owns practically every scene he's in.
