My REVIEW of Back to the Future: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZS3ppuXiL2Grbs

[@gracjanstanosky9698]

Saw many, never heard, bunned for 'johny be good'

[@gracjanstanosky9698]

I like You😀

[@gracjanstanosky9698]

If You wanna be in phisics, learn, what GREAT SCOT means 😅

[@candicelitrenta8890]

When the dad laughed like that at the table I was in the theater and everyone laughed. It is very different when you have a group reaction as apposed to by yourself

[@lazyperfectionist1]

17:27 "'Twin Peaks Ranch.' Okay. He's at the same place." Yes. Consider the continuity for a moment. Marty _was_ at _Twin Pines Mall._ _Then_ he traveled back thirty years and found himself at _Twin Pines Ranch._ _Then_ he accidentally ran over a pine. Later, he's going to find himself _back_ at... wait a minute... _Lone Pine Mall._ See how that works out? Isn't that cool?

[@ShreeNation]

Very cool indeed.

[@jasonm8017]

I believe, George McFly laughs that way solely to bring joy to my life. 😂

[@AlexandriPatris]

Most people don't notice, but the mall at the beginning is called 'Twin Pines Mall', but it's called 'Lone Pine Mall' (since Marty ran over the other one). I love that little detail they included.

[@michaeljacyna1973]

No... Tom Holland has HIS energy! 🤣 Actually, when Homecoming came out, I said he would be great as a new Marty Mcfly

[@DC_Prox]

There’s a fun character detail that they never make explicit, but they go out of their way to show you, and once you see it you can’t unsee it: George is left-handed, and had been forced to operate as if he were right-handed. For a lot of Western history, all the way up to the 1970s, there were pockets of culture who thought that being left-handed was a sign of evil, and many children who showed signs of being left-handed were “corrected” early in life, and forced to learn to do everything right-handed. George spends most of the movie being awkward and having no confidence. He feels like he doesn’t do anything right, in part because he’s always giving into pressure to fight his left-handedness. When we see him writing right-handed, he almost looks like he doesn’t know how to hold the pen properly. So when he squares up and confronts Biff, he tries throwing a punch with his right hand, which is woefully inadequate. It isn’t until he gets so angry that he balls up his LEFT hand into a fist that things finally start to go right for him. That’s why he looks at his LEFT hand the way he does after delivering the punch. He’s not just saying “oh wow, I actually did that”, he’s also saying “oh yeah, I’m supposed to be using my left hand for stuff”. Up until this point, he was likely intimidated and cowed by his parents or whoever his guardians are, whoever it was that forced him to operate as a righty. Part of his newfound confidence will be confronting said guardians and insisting that he’s going to be himself from now on, because being the lefty that he was born to be is exactly what got him his confidence and his dream girl. This is why the incarnation of 80s George at the end is so much more confident than original 80s George, he stopped trying to live up to the expectations of others and started living for himself. And, yes, his friendship with “Calvin” is partly responsible for this newfound confidence, but he also deserves a lot of the credit himself, in part because “Calvin” was locked in a car’s trunk when George flattened Biff.

[@dianem8544]

Are you SERIOUS? I never noticed that about George, I'm going to have to look for that next time. Can back you up on the kids being forced to do everything right handed when they were left handed. My mom was born in '35 (the character of George McFly was born in '37...? '38? I forget, I'll have to consult BTTF2 to be sure) and she was made to switch from left to right in school.

[@ShreeNation]

Holy shit! I didn't even notice! I can also relate because my dad pressured me to become right-handed as well, made me practice long hours to write and do stuff the "right way", as he put it. He gave up soon after because I couldn't do it and he got bored lol

[@lethaldose2000]

Hey Shree, the idea for "back to the Future" while Movie co-writer Bob Gale was looking through his father’s old yearbook. He began to wonder if he would have been friends with his dad had they known each other as kids back then. This sparked the idea of time traveling to the past and meeting your parents, and thus the adventure begins.

[@ShreeNation]

Oh wow, creativity can spark at any moment 😇

[@lazyperfectionist1]

11:32 "It's a remote-controlled _car?_ What? 😄 That's awesome." It would be awesome _nowadays._ It was downright _visionary_ in the mid _'80's._ That's the kind of thinking _Jules Verne_ might appreciate. And _that,_ by the way, is an allusion to part _3._

[@meminustherandomgooglenumbers]

There was already remote control toy cars, even in the 1970's.

[@larryk731]

The problem with the remote control of the car is that DeLoreans used had a manual transmissions.

[@meminustherandomgooglenumbers]

@@larryk731 True, but semiautomatic and automated manual transmissions were in use as far back as the 1940's. In fact, Hudson introduced the DriveMaster on the 1942 Commodore, which could be operated in manual, automatic, or semiautomatic modes. Of course it's entirely another matter to adapt or concoct such a thing onto a DeLorean, but from a theoretical standpoint, such an animal did exist.

[@subitman12]

One of the judges in the high school ("You're too darn loud") is played by Huey Lewis. His band Huey Lewis and the News where he is the lead singer did the soundtrack for the movie.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

38:00 And here, we see a _brilliant_ change in the dynamic between Marty's parents. The _first_ time through, Lorraine's heart went _out_ to George, because her father hit him with the _car,_ so he had to be brought in the _house._ He was like a little lost _puppy._ The _second_ time through, she was immediately _smitten_ with the knight in shining armor who rescued her from god-only-KNOWS what kinds of horrors. This didn't just change George's relationship with _Lorraine;_ it changed his relationship with _Biff._

[@lethaldose2000]

This is generally considered one of the one of the best block buster screenplays ever written and is usually taught in screenwriting classes as an example of a “perfect” script. All this despite the fact that the movie was rejected over 40 times by various movie studios in Hollywood including multiple rejections by Universal, the same studio to make the film.

[@ShreeNation]

I can see why, it's one of the tightest scripts I've ever seen executed on film.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

19:10 "Okay. That clock tower looks tip top." It's more than that. Marty is 17 years old. He has lived in this city his _entire life_ and he has _never_ heard this clock _chime_ before.

[@CalciumChief]

This is the only movie I can't watch without immediately watching the other two right after. Forget Lord of the Rings, this is real best trilogy. I hear this movie is taught in film school as an example of writing. No set up goes without a pay-off. Pretty much every tiny thing characters passively mention comes back later. It is exposition in a way, but definitely not filler. 7:27 Joke being that's Huey Lewis of Huey Lewis and the News, the band that made the song Marty is playing here. 10:58 Hahaha. Doc Brown goes on trips without weed. He gets high on science. 16:17 In the movie, he is, but that's the problem with time travel in fiction in general. For this to work you have to travel in space too, cause there's this little tiny fact that Earth rotates around itself and around the sun. Chances of you landing on Earth alone are astronomical and you can forget about the same spot. 25:04 Yeah. Think in the very opening there's newspaper clippings on a wall saying how Doc sold his house or something and then he himself says it took his family fortune to build the time machine. 25:59 No, this movie makes it clear this first time travel Marty ever did cause how everything changes later. There's no loop of him always going back.

[@ShreeNation]

I can see why, now I wanna read the script as a writer and film enthusiast! Even that Huey Lewis bit is brilliant

[@CalciumChief]

@@ShreeNation Next two being shot back-to-back have a few of those too. And some callbacks to the first one as well.

[@edwardsighamony]

Doc's family house burned down. Whether Doc did it deliberately or accidentally, the insurance money financed his time experiments. That's why he's living in and experimenting out of his garage.

[@BenWillyums]

Seriously? The 2nd and 3rd Back To The Future films don't come close to this first one, which is a great stand alone film. You can't say that about LOTR

[@CalciumChief]

@@BenWillyums I don't know what movies were you watching then. And yes, I can say that.

[@kaycosti3631]

Hi, Shree! I will say only this - Back To The Future is the trilogy that wraps up like no other does. You MUST watch the sequels - you’ll see that the story circle closes like you’ve never seen before. I’m also waiting for you to react to the other sequels you mentioned in the beginning. Thanks! Salutations from Romania …

[@ShreeNation]

Thank you, will do :)

[@DC_Prox]

The peanut brittle was a reference to a deleted scene, one of George's neighbours had a kid who was selling peanut brittle for a school fundraiser, and he cajoled George into buying a whole case so the kid would only have to make one stop. They left the scene out because the introduction to Biff did more than enough to establish how weak-willed original 80s George was, so the peanut brittle ended up being a random weird detail instead of a callback to plot.

[@michaelblaine6494]

And it was immediately after Marty told him he needs to stand up for himself and not be such a pushover,it’s great how as the two are walking away you hear the dad say “see,I told you we’d only need to go to one house”

[@mikemuir0178]

It's hard to find someone who knows nothing about this movie. This was a treat. Now you need to watch Back to the Future 2 and 3. Looking forward to it,

[@lazyperfectionist1]

Part 2 ends on a pretty momentous cliff-hanger though, so I would say it's a good idea, when she watches part 2, to have part 3 all set to go. Part 3 wraps things up pretty nicely, but part 2 yanks the ground out from under you.

[@michaelblaine6494]

We had to wait 6 months to see the conclusion but it was way easier than the almost 5 year wait for the second one

[@charlesedward5047]

29:40 Can you please explain the over the top reaction of Lorraine having a "crush" on Marty? She DOESN'T KNOW THAT'S HER SON. She sees him as a regular good looking guy. And Marty does the correct thing in running away and being freaked out since he does know that's his mother. The only way your over the top reaction is justified is if she knew they were related and still went after him.

[@glennwisniewski9536]

"Make like a tree, and get outta here." Dimwit Biff gets it wrong. The expression is "make like a tree and leave." Get it? A tree has leaves. One theater in 1955 has Cattle Queen of Montana with Barbara Stanwyck and Ronald Reagan (anticipates Doc's Reagan joke) and by 1985 it's Orgy American Style (a real softcore movie from 1973 starring cult favorite Rene Bond). The other theater in 1955 has The Atomic Kid with another short comedic actor, Mickey Rooney (the film's topical title plus Rooney, the Michael J. Fox of his day, make this two jokes in one) and by 1985 the theater is a meeting hall for the Assembly of Christ. In both cases, as would happen in real life, the two mom and pop theaters have fallen on hard times trying to compete with multiplex theater chains.

[@samyheath8103]

My favourite movie

[@CaddyJim]

You asked when he went back to 1955 if he was on the same plot of land as a parking lot which was twin pines Mall but if you see when the farmers shooting at him he runs over one of the pine trees so it's no longer twin pines when he returns

[@shainewhite2781]

I watched all the Back To The Future movies on NBC back in the 90's! It's one of the funniest Sci Fi Comedy movie trilogies ever.

[@thaddoria7687]

The classic line from Doctor Who: “How to explain the mechanics of the infinite temporal flux…(snap) Back to the Future! It’s Back to the Future!!!” “The film?” “No, the novelization-YES THE FILM!!!”

[@lazyperfectionist1]

22:03 "Oh. _Ew!"_ Well, consider, first, of _course_ you want to disapprove of what George is doing. As Marty observes, the guy's a peeping Tom; a voyeur. But consider, why does this woman have her blinds open? Did they not have a concept of _privacy_ in the '50's, or is she some kind of exhibitionist? I mean George is not using anything _fancy._ He's using a set of _binoculars,_ as if the woman expects her privacy to be protected by _distance._ Second, I do the same thing, but I use the _Internet._ As Howard Wolowitz once observed, in an episode of _The Big Bang Theory,_ millions of dollars have been spent, developing the Internet and filling it with pictures of nude women so a guy has no real need to spy on his _neighbors._ I mean you can _scold_ a guy for spying on his neighbors. You can scold him to no _end._ But the only circumstances under which the practice _ends_ are those under which he has an _alternative._

[@lazyperfectionist1]

When I was in high school, I took JROTC, which meant we stood for weekly uniform inspections. That meant, every week, shining our shoes, shining the buckles of our belts, and ironing our shirts. The last of these is surprisingly time-consuming, and I passed the time by distracting myself with a different movie, every weekend, while I was ironing. More often than not, the movie was from _this_ particular trilogy. These are _awesome_ movies to watch, and not just the _first_ time, _either._

[@robertlombardo8437]

Which JROTC? The Coast Guard Youth Auxiliary? 😂 But seriously, what branch? I love JROTC stories.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

@@robertlombardo8437 😆😆😆 No. It was the Army. 🤷 I might've signed up for a different branch, but _Army_ JROTC was what was available at my high school.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

8:16 "I wanna know who's gonna pay for _this._ I spilled _beer_ all _over_ when that _car_ smashed _into_ me." Let's just establish a point this moment alludes to. This man, Biff, had an open _beer_ container in the car when he was in the wreck. Why do you suppose _that_ was the case? What are the circumstances under which one is driving with an open _beer_ container?

[@meminustherandomgooglenumbers]

Back then it wasn't as big a deal. Even in the 1990s in some parts of the country it was a non-issue. I was fueling at a gas station in Mississippi once in 1992. There was a police car at another pump. A guy pulls up to a third pump, gets out with an open beer in his hand, takes a long swig, sets the beer on the roof of the car, fuels, goes in, pays, comes out, grabs the beer off the roof, takes another healthy slug, gets in his car and drives off. So I go in, the cop is talking with the cashier. Being yankee, I asked in amazement about the guy with the beer. The cop says oh yeah that's not a thing down here, he's ok as long as he doesn't toss a glass bottle onto the street.

[@boqndimitrov8693]

in the anniversary disc, the director says that Reagan almost choked on laughter while watching a certain scene from the movie. Then he ordered it to be released again.

[@Melphas]

23:18 suprised you didn't ask why his pants were off.

[@GirlofCulture]

If someone already mentioned it, it's embarrassing (for me), otherwise just a fun fact i guess. "Why does the car get cold?" ... (I always wondered as a kid :P) but luckily my older brothers could explain it to me. Doc Brown: "I need the nuclear reaction for the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity i need". And that gets very very VERY hot... so the icing is a safety mechanism of the DeLorean. Never explained how it works in the movie ... bummer.

[@ShreeNation]

Nice! I didn't realize the ice was a safety mechanism 🤯🥶

[@lazyperfectionist1]

47:06 "Why does it get _cold?_ Why does the car get cold?" Because it leaves so much _heat_ behind. Remember those fire trails that appear where its _tires_ would've made contact with the road? Where do you think _those_ come from? It's the same _phenomenon._ All the heat it leaves behind when it jumps through time leaves _fire_ trails where it touched the ground, but causes it to arrive covered with _ice._ The two manifestations go together.

[@sasamichan]

The 1st time I saw this movie referenced was in Muppet Babies (80s version) since then I have also seen it referenced in Spin City , American Dad, Fairy Odd Parents, the Lego Movie 2 , My Little Pony, and Family Guy and many other things It also got its own cartoon series and video game. If you have a way of taking suggestions or want to learn more about any movie, genre, or actor I'll say more.

[@47imagine]

I think Michael J. Fox was much better looking than Tom Holland.

[@CaptainNemo1701]

Details you might have missed?... 1. Doc Brown primes the audience in the parking lot by mentioning farm land & breeding pine trees. Later when Marty appears in 1955, one of two pine saplings is destroyed. So at the end of the movie, 'Twin Pines Mall' is now 'Lone Pine Mall'. Perhaps the most obvious clue!. 2. Doc slips on the clock tower parapet, taking out a chunk. The missing chunk is visible as the helicopter appears over the building in 1985 (below the gargoyle), first hint that this is an alternate '85. 3. The down & out who says 'Crazy drink driver'...was the 1955 mayor. And of course, the famous time-travel paradox joke when Chuck Berry's cousin 'Marvin' gets him to listen to his own song, Johnny B Good which Marty is playing. This gag was even referenced by The Simpsons (I think its in the episode where Homer is being Kurt Cobain??).

[@edwardsighamony]

I remember watching this movie in the theaters. I had such a huge crush on Lea Thompson after watching this movie (which is probably why I went to see Howard the Duck.) Michael J. Fox was huge when this movie came out. He was on one of the most popular sitcoms of the era. Normally, TV shows took time off during the summer so the actors could work on other projects. But because of scheduling conflicts he had to work a full day on set on his TV show and film the movie at night. He only slept a couple of hours between gigs. I thought it was hilarious when you said Doc was vlogging when he was video taping himself for posterity. Still 18 years to go before KZbin.

[@edwardsighamony]

And I almost forgot. Half the movie was filmed with a different actor in the lead. Eric Stoltz originally played Marty but was recast because his performance was a little too serious. Michael J. Fox was always meant to be the lead, but wasn't available at the time. After the initial rushes, the producers and director decided to go with their original lead.

[@crazyratlady3026]

If you want a first time/share of an OUTSTANDING movie where Christopher Lloyd plays a bad guy you must do "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". 7. The next one is the best of the hat-trick.

"Overdrive" was essentially the first type of distortion to develop from electric guitar amps, from before musicians used distortion on purpose, and now it's one of a variety of distortion styles available in pedals and amp settings, along with others like "fuzz" and "crunch".

I was about the age of the teenagers in this film when it was released. I instantly fell in love with Lea Thompson, and have been ever since. I almost hope I never meet her, because I'd become an embarrassing, simping fanboy.

[@DanJackson1977]

Weird thing I noticed about this movie.... "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai" (1984), also features a "Super Vehicle", a rocket & laser powered truck that can travel through dimensions. The device that makes "Dimension Travel" possible in that film.. is called the "Oscillation Overthruster".. a triangular flashy blinky thing that sits right behind the driver just like the "Flux Capacitor". So.. I always wondered who ripped off who... cause clearly both those scripts were floating around Hollywood around the same time and that's WAY too coincidental. Another example of that... "DREAMSCAPE" (1984) and A Nightmare on Elm St. (84) both feature a shapeshifting dream villain with finger knives. btw, Buckaroo Banzai also features Christopher Lloyd, though he's a considerably different character in that one.

[@ShreeNation]

Whoa! I guess that's one mystery no one will ever solve🤔

[@DanJackson1977]

@@ShreeNation There's been speculation that prop guys from Banzai also worked on BTTF... but I guess the best way to know would be to compare early script drafts. Also, the 88 MPH in BTTF *may be* a BB logo reference.. since there are Banzai patches in the film that look exactly like an 88. This is the kind of shit nerds like me think about when were at work and would rather be doing anything else.

Seeing this in a theater at 5 makes me feel like I witnessed Lincoln giving the Gettysburg Address or the final game of the first World Series. Ok maybe not but with how immortalized this movie has become it feels like witnessing history for those of us who were there. I’ve wondered for years of people from a later generation could relate to a story where the “present” is before the viewer may have been born but that doesn’t seem to be a problem. It’s an ironically timeless story......also because what we think of as modern culture kind of started in the 1980s

[@BunBun299]

What you were asking about from Terminator is a Predestination Paradox. The events of that movie are a stable time loop. Back to the Future doesn't work that way. Each instance of time travel in this series causes at least minor changes in the timeline. Don't wait to long to watch parts 2 and 3. This is one of the best trilogies Hollywood has ever made. Only the original Star Wars trilogy and Lord of the Rings trilogy surpass it.

[@ShreeNation]

Ah, thanks for the explanation :)

[@lazyperfectionist1]

41:16 "I love the song. I gotta look it up." 😮 You haven't heard the song _either!_ My _god!_ Yes, Shree, you _do_ need to look it up. It's not just _good;_ it's _historic._ Wait. So then you don't get the joke in the movie where the band leader steps off the stage, leaving Marty to perform, dials the phone, holds it to his ear and yells, "Hey, Chuck! Chuck! It's Marvin!" Then he rolls his eyes and says, "Your _cousin,_ Marvin _Berry."_ Oh. He's talkin' to Chuck _Berry,_ the famous singer, songwriter and _guitarist._ "You know that new _sound_ you lookin' for? Well _listen_ to _this!"_ Then he puts the phone to the stage so Chuck Berry can hear the song Marty's _performing._ The joke is that the song Marty is leading everyone through is _Johnny B. Goode,_ a song Chuck Berry originally wrote and performed _himself._ This is one of those predestination _paradoxes_ you were talking about. Marty learned the song from Chuck Berry, but they're implying that Chuck Berry also learned it from Marty.

Far more time has passed from today 2023 back to 1985 (38 years) than the amount of time Marty went back in time 1985 to 1955 (30 years). This movie is a time capsule.

[@StCerberusEngel]

WHATEVER YOU DO, when you watch part 2, STOP right at the end, because the trailer for part 3 is contained within the movie, sort of like a "next time, on" segment, since they shot the next two back to back. So unless you want to see scenes for the next part, make sure to stop it where it says "to be concluded". That said, love the reaction. This is one of the best trilogies, if not the best ever made. You're in for a treat. Originally, there wasn't supposed to be a sequel, and the ending was just meant as a joke. But due to popular demand, they pulled two spectacular follow-ups out of their figurative hats. That's the power of love!

So many changes in the "new" future it's hard to keep up. The old "Twin Pines Mall" becomes the "Lone Pine Mall" because Marty killed one of the farmer's baby pine trees.

Doc: watch when this hits 88 mph.. Shree: (long pause) …ummmmmmm 🤔 Lol best reaction to time travel, ever. Also, quoting the movie verbatim pre-reveal. Chef’s 😘 Lol at "Marvin’s Dance."

[@glennwisniewski9536]

Hey SN, one of those "creepy" clocks is actually a classic. It's called the Kit-Kat Klock and the earliest models date back to 1932. According to Wikipedia, the Kit-Cat Klock is an art deco novelty wall clock shaped like a grinning cat with cartoon eyes that swivel in time with its pendulum tail. The manufacturer estimates that an average of one clock has been sold every three minutes for the last 50 years.

[@scottirvine121]

She picks up on all the things that is instrumental to the storyline and questions why 🤣 Doc says I remember when old man Peabody owned this land and was fields as fas as the eye cam see….so yes it’s the same land Marty arrives at in 1955. Need to listen for the genius in this movie Great reaction

[@julienielsen4462]

I watched this movie so many times but happy to see utubers react to it. You have a great presence!!!

[@ShreeNation]

Thank you❤

[@acesfn7316]

Its good to watch these 3 within a short time frame from one another. If you react to the second one stop the movie just as it says to be concluded to prevent spoilers of the 3rd

[@christopheryochum3602]

Shree!!! I love your honest, natural reactions. "Oooo...who is this babe?!!" Exactly the raction I had the first time I saw breathtaking Claudia Wells, my favorite "girlfriend" actress ever.

[@ShreeNation]

Thank you :)

[@woodykelleher9253]

Took me years to find out that guy was Huey Lewis, mocking a rendition of his own song. He made a living at 125 decibles each night.

[@christopheryochum3602]

Shree!!! (Yes it's me again!) Marty didn't forget to bring plutonium. Remember when Doc was leaning on the car, getting ready to leave. And then Doc said, with a laugh, "What was I thinking. I forgot to take extra plutonium. How do I expect to get back?" At that point Einstein started barking, Doc looked over, and told Marty, "Oh no they found me!" They came and killed Doc, but no extra plutonium was in the car.

"Nuclear energy was a thing in '55, right?" Godzilla: "I think so."

18:59 I had those spring shoes back then. Really didn't work that well

[@ShreeNation]

Aww :( shame they looked so fun

[@douglasmurata4945]

I just watched your video on Predator and now this. Alan Silvestri composed the soundtracks for both movies and there are many parts between the two that are startlingly similar, and a few that are lifted verbatim. The movies are so different, but the music still works.

[@TangentOmega]

The teacher that said the music was too loud, is Huey Lewis. Marty was playing his song. I recommend Green Mile to others but I've never been able to sit through it. I get too emotional.

[@ShreeNation]

I know the feeling :( I loved it but I don't think I'll be going for The Green Mile anytime soon.

[@MrWhatdafuBOOM]

There's actually subtle differences between '55 Doc and '85 Doc. -For '85 Doc, Christopher Lloyd wears make-up to make his skin paler and wrinklier, and his hair is white and unkempt. -For '55 He has no makeup and therefore has a younger looking face, and his hair is more blonde and well kempt.

[@cleonmagabeefy8473]

I went nuts with anticipation because I work nights and sleep during the day. This was a absolutely fantastic reaction!!! Your joy watching this reminded me of the first time I saw this😀😀😀

[@ShreeNation]

Aw I'm glad you had a good time :) Thank you so much!

[@christopheryochum3602]

Shree!!! Doc didn't build the Libyans a bomb. They GAVE him the plutonium to do it, but he gave them a "shoddy casing filled with used pinball machine parts," which is why they came to kill him.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

36:13 "Lorraine, you shouldn't drink." "Why not?" Because you're only 17, okay? Wait a few years.

[@lukebarber9511]

One of the things I found unintentionally hilarious about watching the film in the present day is that during the dance, Marty dresses exactly like Mr. Bean.

[@ShreeNation]

Hah! I can't stop seeing it now 🤣

[@TheBigTamale]

oh my.

[@sean---the-other-one]

Great Scott was an old exclamation that’s very dated now. It goes back to Mark Twain and even further back. However I’ve always assumed that the usage in Back to the Future was because the Superman tv show with George Reeves as Superman ran from 1952-1958 so would have been very much pop culture at the time and Great Scott was an exclamation that was constantly used in that show as an Oh My God type of comment. In fact I think it was used in the Superman comics and radio shows, but I only remember it as a kid watching the old b&w tv show. I like it as a little detail, showing Doc as being immersed in the pop culture of 1955. BTTF is such a well written and highly detailed trilogy. If you watch carefully and repeatedly you’ll pick up lots of subtle things. One of my favourites is George McFly at the start of the movie apologising to Marty for not being able to stand up to Biff. He seems to be lost in his thoughts as he pensively utters the line “I’m just not very good at… confrontations.” and to subtly punctuate it his hand flexes and then makes a fist. Later in the movie we see his hand form that fist just before he belts Biff, and then draws more attention as he shakes it due to the obvious pain he’s just felt, but he’s too overcome with surprise at his own moxie in finally standing up to Biff, especially at having decked him. It’s like at the start of the movie he’s recalling a variation of some situation with Biff (or maybe all of them) where he wanted to lash out at Biff but was too afraid.

[@ShreeNation]

Wow that is awesome! this is definitely one of the most detailed and well written movies ever.

[@meminustherandomgooglenumbers]

In the 1980s when the movie was made, the phrase "Great Scott" was considered dated, but it was still widely understood. However, Doc is older, so he would have been growing up at a time when the saying was still in vogue. Like you say, even in the 1950s where most of the movie takes place, the phrase was used by several contemporary TV characters. Some people say it originated in the 19th century as a corruption of the South German greeting, "Grüss Gott," since German was fairly widely spoken in the USA back then. Even today, a version of German is still used among a large subsection of the Amish community.

[@vibingwithvinyl]

Thomas F. Wilson always seemed a huge guy when I was a kid watching these movies, but he's actually an inch, inch and a half shorter than I am now. Life is funny like that.

[@JIMBO8472]

in the lore the screen writer bob gale mentions that Doc was one of the guys who worked on the Manhattan project.

[@davidterhune8277]

Thank you Shree for being less "edit happy" than other reactors - making time watching your KZbin videos more quality time

[@ShreeNation]

No problem, glad you enjoyed😍

[@meminustherandomgooglenumbers]

"The most awkward thing I've ever watched!" American Beauty might give it a run for it's money. Underrated and highly recommended.

[@adaddinsane]

This is considered a perfect movie, every set-up has it's payoff. It's used for screenwriting tuition. (Size is not relevant to martial arts, being big isn't an advantage, it's all about leverage - just saying :-) and they had helicopters in the 50s.)

[@StCerberusEngel]

It's also about reaction time and situational awareness as well as the mental fortitude to do whatever it takes to defend yourself or others. No matter the size of the opponent, a good kick to the knee or groin will almost always end a fight immediately. Fight dirty, stay alive.

I'm sure it's already been mentioned but I'm not gonna read all 270 comments to find out. I apologize if it seems I'm "stealing" someone else's comment. But - the guy telling Marty he's too loud 📢 is Huey Lewis

[@ironman6432]

Great review, I was a young kid and saw this in the theatre when it came out , great memories for me , most people I knew who grew up in the 90s made fun of me for loving these 80s movies , it’s nice to see you watching it with an open mind and enjoying the story in spite of some of the dated mentality

[@ShreeNation]

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed 😇🙏

[@okeefe757]

Your replacement song for Johnny B. Goode works pretty good. The guitar part matches well for the time period. Good work. I also like that the replacement song's name matches the band singer in the movie's name. Was that partially why you chose it?

[@ShreeNation]

Yes and it was a coincidence that it was named Marvin's song, i found it by accident while searching for something similar and felt it was a good match ;)

[@HolyRomanEmperor90]

33:13 I’ve had a similar experience with horse poop unfortunately lol.

[@kristopherwood7521]

*George socks Biff* What happened next? Well, in Hill Valley they say, that George's small backbone grew three sizes that day.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

Part 2 is an awesome movie as well, but it ends on the most _incredible_ cliff-hanger, so before you watch it, make sure you have part 3 all set to go. Part 3 wraps up the trilogy rather nicely, but part 2 leaves you hanging.

[@ShreeNation]

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind!

[@diypropsmodels7064]

34:39 Doc: what the hell did you do, Marty ? Me: this is what happened when he stood up for his dad, and a extra price came with it 😂😂😂

[@Trogadorsaysay2]

"I guess Marty doesn't know his science fiction." No, he does. Pretty sure he does. It's just that, well, this is 1955. Star Trek wouldn't come along until the 60s, and the first Star Wars wouldn't exist until 1978. The reason he mixed up the names like that is likely to avoid giving away any signs that he was from another time period. And because he wasn't that creative with names, I suppose. XD Of course, this probably would've given him away years later anyhow. Once Star Trek and Star Wars become a thing later down the line, George would probably be like, "Huh. A race of aliens called Vulcans? An evil man in a dark suit with powers called Darth Vader? Those sound REALLY familiar..."

[@PorterJustPorter]

The stories as to why Crispin Glover doesn't return in the sequels are different depending on the source. But, the most convincing explanation comes from Glover himself. It wasn't money or ego as often reported but rather a creative disagreement with the filmmakers. Glover was unhappy with the ending, specifically the jarring transformation George undergoes due to Marty's time-tinkering. The movie's message was lost, he thought, as the "new" George (who may be successful and happy) doesn't really seem to have become a better person overall. He's possibly even become bit of a bully himself... although nothing to the level that Biff was before the time reset. I recall having issues with how George turned out even as a kid. It was more of a feeling really that led to questions. "So now he bullies Biff... I dunno, guys.." Now, It's one concern any parent or guardian can easily justify away. "Nah, son... he's just providing a job for Biff" or some shit like that.. And they may not even be lying. It's a legitimate interpretation, right? George isn't explicitly a bully. He's just confident and hip. Fine. But, even if I (as an 8-year-old) could detect an ethical problem with new George, then surely the sensitivie actor that Glover is, could and would feel some sorta way. I mean let's face it... George ultimately became an ass-pinching, indoor sunglasses-wearing, passive-aggressive bully, right?! Great reaction!

[@ShreeNation]

Thank you for the explanation. I can see Glover's point. I recently watched Cobra Kai because season 1 was available on KZbin, and without ever watching The Karate Kid, the first season revolves around how Danny Larusso became successful and a little cocky after winning the karate tournament, essentially wrapping his Larusso Motors brand around his karate success. He also started looking down upon Johnny, who I guess was the main bully in The Karate Kid, acting better than him every chance he got. The show became an instant favorite because it shows how someone in the right can become wrong and judgmental if they don't let past grudges go and see the change in people who were once bad.

[@guitarman8462]

" I told you Marty , to not mess with the Jimi Hendrix amp !!! "

[@AMacLeod426]

Tom Holland would actually take that as a huge compliment, as he stated he was very much aspiring to, in a way, make his 'Peter Parker' this generation's 'Marty McFly'.

[@danielfortier2629]

When they did Back to the Future it was NEVER meant to have a sequel. They finished it off like that as a joke. But the movie became so popular they had to make a second movie and a third. The second and third movies were shot back to back and came out in theatres six months apart. That is why there's a trailer of the third movie after the second movie.

[@ShreeNation]

6 months apart?! Boy I wish we were this lucky nowadays.

[@Silenced23]

Omg an almost 1 hour video?! I'm new here and you just got yourself a subscriber! Keep up the great work!
