* DawsonCasting: Inverted, with a soupcon of ''Underage Casting''. The princesses who were in the first film, 16-ish year old virgins were played by 25 year olds Kimberly Labelle and Diane Franklin, then in the sequels as college-age by 22-year-old Sarah Trigger and Annette Azcuy. Here, in their late forties, they are 41-year-old Jayma Mays and 44-year-old Erinn Hayes. While Hayes as the mother of Brigette Lundy Paine just about tracks, Mays is only 12 years older than her on-screen daughter Samara Weaving. They are supposed to be about 45-46, the same age as Bill and Ted, who are played by 55-year-olds.

* ReleaseDateChange: Was originally intended to release on August 21st, 2020, but then a bunch of other films changed their release dates due to the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic. The film was rescheduled first to August 14th, and then to August 28th to avoid conflicting with the rescheduled release of ''Film/{{TENET}}''. As August approached, surges in the pandemic across the United States led to many films being pulled from the schedule; it was ultimately decided that ''Bill & Ted'' would be rescheduled one more time for a limited theatrical release (mostly drive-ins) and a simultaneous debut on digital platforms on September 1st. '''[[UpToEleven And then]]''' it moved back to August 28th to avoid a head-to-head matchup with ''{{Film/Mulan|2020}}'' after that film announced a September 4th digital release.

* ChannelHop: Sort of. The first film was produced by De Laurentiis Entertainment Group, but it went bankrupt and delayed the first movie's release; it was rescued by Creator/OrionPictures and Nelson Entertainment, who also co-produced the second movie. This one is also from Orion, but a revived version owned by Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer (who had acquired Orion and partial rights to the Nelson assets in the late 1990s).
