Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (1991)
Directed by Peter Hewitt
Amiable slackers Bill and Ted are once again roped into a fantastical adventure when De Nomolos, a villain from the future, sends evil robot duplicates of the two lads to terminate and replace them. The robot doubles actually succeed in killing Bill and Ted, but the two are determined to escape the afterlife, challenging the Grim Reaper to a series of games in order to return to the land of the living.

What critics compared Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey to
This clash-of-cultures gag keeps escalating it's The Seventh Seal meets The Naked Gun.
The afterlife sequences are by far the most inventive, reaching a hilarious peak with a sendup of, of all things, Ingmar Bergman's "The Seventh Seal."
The funniest thing that happens to them is their showdown with the Grim Reaper ( William Sadler ), who looks just as he does in Ingmar Bergman's "The Seventh Seal."
(Of course, the allusion to Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal is completely lost on the film's teen audience.)
