grim reaper supernatural bill ted bogus journey john movie addictIf you've seen Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, there's a character played by William Sadler called Grim Reaper, Who is Grim Reaper? it's a personification of Death. Well i guess that all people in the world know who Death is... yes, it's something that came to us when our time in this world has ended. There is no living man or woman who can describe how death really looks like because the one that have seen Death usually already.. "not alive", but many movies require the presence of Death in the movie so people start to create a Grim Reaper, the personification of Death. Grim Reaper also shows in Supernatural tv series.


Actually The personification of Death as a living being is a concept that has existed in many societies since the beginning of recorded history. The name Grim Reaper is a name for Death in western cultures. The Grim Reaper appears as a skeletal figure carrying a large scythe, and wearing a midnight black gown, robe or cloak with a hood, or sometimes, a white burial shroud. Usually when portrayed in the black-hooded gown, only his eyes can be seen. The Grim Reaper originated in Scotland.

-Death in Hindu culture-
In Hindu culture Death personification known by the name of "Yama" or "Yamaraj". Yamaraj rides a black buffalo and carries a rope lasso to carry the soul back to his abode called "Yamalok". It is his agents, the Yamaduts, who carry the souls back to Yamalok. Here, all the accounts of the person's good and bad deeds are stored and maintained by Chitragupta, which allow Yamaraj to decide where the soul has to reside in his next life, following the theory of reincarnation.

-Death in Japan culture-

In Kojiki, after giving birth to the fire-god Hinokagutsuchi, the goddess Izanami dies from wounds of its fire and enters the perpetual night realm called Yaminokuni that the gods thereto retire. After Izanagi, her husband, failed in the attempt to reclaim her from the land of Yomi (the underworld, to which he travels and discovers his wife as not-so visually appealing anymore), in a brief argument with Izanagi, she claimed to take 1000 lives every day signifying her position as the goddess of death.

Another popular death personification is Enma (Yama), also known as Enma Ou and Enma Daiou (Enma King, Enma Great King — translations of Yama Rājā). He originated as Yama in Hinduism, later became Yanluo in China, and Enma in Japan. He is from Chinese Buddhism, and before that, from India. Enma rules the underworld, which makes him similar to Hades, and he decides whether someone dead goes to heaven or to hell. A common saying parents use in Japan to scold children is that Enma will cut off their tongue in the afterlife if they lie.

There are also death gods called shinigami, which are closer to the Western tradition of the Grim Reaper. Shinigami (often plural) are common in modern Japanese arts and fiction, and essentially absent from traditional mythology.

There's many form of Death personification in many culture but the most famous personification of death in movies is the Grim Reaper.

Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey is a comedy movie about two best friend and their journey to become a rock star. This movie is a sequel of the first movie titled Bill and Ted's excellent adventure. I never saw the first movie, but my local tv station keep playing the sequel "Bill and Ted's Bogus Jurney", i guess maybe it's because the first one wasn't as interesting as the second sequel... maybe someday i'll rent the first movie.

well here's a synopsis of Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey:

Three years after receiving an A+ on their history report, Bill and Ted are still struggling with their band, Wyld Stallyns, despite help from their fiancées Elizabeth and Joanna (princesses of 15th Century England whom they met in the first film and Rufus brought back from their time). Meanwhile, in the future, the villainous Chuck De Nomolos (Joss Ackland) schemes to prevent Bill and Ted from performing at the Fourth Annual San Dimas Battle of the Bands, thereby preventing them from influencing history with their hated rock music. De Nomolos forcibly takes possession of a time machine (once again, in the guise of a phone booth), sending two evil android versions of Bill and Ted back in time to kill them. Bill and Ted are quickly abducted and driven to the desert, where their android doppelgangers throw them off a cliff.

Death, a.k.a. the Grim Reaper (William Sadler), comes to collect Bill and Ted, telling them that if they beat him in a contest he will give them their lives back. Assessing their chances of winning, they resort to giving Death a melvin and escape. Bill and Ted possess two police officers (including Ted's dad) in an unsuccessful attempt to protect their fiancées, and also infiltrate a séance led by Bill's former step-mother, now Ted's current step-mother, Missy, now a New-Ager. The two are mistaken for evil spirits and are cast down to Hell.

After encountering Satan, Bill and Ted are doomed to their own personal versions of Hell. First they are menaced by the fanatic Colonel Oats (Ted barely escaped enrollment in Oats' Alaskan Military Academy in the first film). Bill and Ted split up and are subjected to some of their worst childhood memories. Bill recalls being forced to give a kiss to his vile, aged grandmother, while Ted is chastised by the Easter Bunny for stealing his brother's Easter candy. Reuniting in the tunnels of Hell, Bill and Ted figure that there is only one way out: to play the Reaper, and win.

Bill and Ted challenge Death to a variety of games, including Battleship, Clue, electric football, and Twister, all of which Bill and Ted win. Although Death proves a poor loser, he is at their command and, with his help, the three travel to Heaven to seek advice from God. After mugging three innocent souls, the trio gain entrance to Heaven by appropriating the chorus from "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" by Poison as their answer to St Peter's question, "What is the meaning of life?" Using a map they receive from God, they find the smartest scientist in the afterlife, an alien named Station who has the ability to split his body into two smaller versions of himself.

Bill, Ted, Station, and a reluctant Death return to Earth. Station builds crude "good robot" versions of Bill and Ted as they drive to the Battle of the Bands. The good robots easily defeat the evil versions, and De Nomolos arrives in the time machine booth and directly challenges Bill and Ted. The film's conclusion relies on a series of events that at first appear to be contradictory grandfather paradoxes but are resolved as overlapping predestination paradoxes.

After De Nomolos has been defeated, Bill and Ted disappear in the time machine with their fiancées to improve their musical skills. Reappearing immediately after leaving, Bill has grown a long beard and Ted a pointed goatee. Each of them has fathered a baby with their (now) wives. They then go on to play their set as the Kiss rendition of God Gave Rock 'n Roll To You is heard on the soundtrack, and the credits show various newspaper clippings suggesting they go on to shape the future in much the same way as described in the first movie.
