The big "CDs" are actually called Laser Discs. They were basically dvds that were ahead of their time

[@serinx]

Laser Discs had analog video (@400-425 lines in NTSC) and sometimes digital audio / surround. Adoption suffered due to large size, expense, and run length of discs (they had 2 formats CAV and CLV - the former allowed for easier freeze frame and some other benefits but was 30 minutes per side, later was 60 minutes). So did not work well for movies with the need to flip discs. DVDs discs where introduced once Red lasers allowed CD type discs to store 6X as much information per side. Additionally digital video compression (such as MPEG-2) further allowed fitting more video (@ 480 lines of resolution) per side (you could dial in the data allocation if trying to fit a longer movie on 1 side). Early DVD encodes could look pretty bad, though still better than VHS. Encoders/decoders got better over time and eventually Blu-Ray (with an even smaller laser) increased both the data space available and had better resolution at 1080 lines and more efficient compression codecs. 4K UHD Blu-Ray (twice 1080p / HD) is - sadly- probably that last iteration of physical disc media as 4K and HD via streaming look 'good enough'... but are not the highest quality for home theater and generally with streaming you never fully 'own' your movies.

A fun aspect to the BTTF sequels is they were released 6 months apart. Zemeckis filmed them back to back and then gave the fans a treat releasing them so close together instead of waiting years.

[@yasminni485]

Another fun fact, when the first movie released in theaters it ended with "The End". By the time it came out to video it was so popular they already decided on making the sequels. So, by the time people watched it on VHS the movie ended with "To Be Continued....".

[@wiseguymaybe]

I'm afraid the original Jennifer, Claudia Wells, mother was very ill at the time so she had to decline reprising her character as Jennifer Parker. I love her replacement Elizabeth Shu, especially Adventure In Babysitting, but Claudia was the perfect Jennifer.

I'm guessing Doc's rejuvenation mask was the plot's answer to not making him use an aging mask for the entire rest of the movie(s), like he did in the beginning and end of the first movie. The best part of this trilogy is that every time you re-watch it, you notice details you missed the previous times because you know what's gonna happen, which makes it even more awesome. I already know I'm gonna love your reaction to the 3rd (and unfortunately last) movie, and its perfect ending to the trilogy.

Correct. Although, outside of certain close-ups, his aging make-up wasn't all that great. I barely noticed the difference between 1985 and 1955 Doc.

[@StreetHierarchy]

I thought it was a running gag about him always looking the same, no matter what age.

[@AvatarYoda]

According to Bob Gale on the commentary, they did the "mask" gag for three reasons: it's funny, it erased the need for them to put old-age makeup on Lloyd for two films (sparing the actor all the time and discomfort, as well as and saving money), and to give Doc extra decades to be a good father to his children.

Awesome reaction! Yes, the departure of Glover was a big deal at the studio. There was a dispute over his compensation, and when he walked, they added his likeness to another body without express permission. This caused Glover to sue. He won the suit, establishing the new precedent that it's illegal for a studio to do that.

[@ShuffleUpandDeal32]

They offered him plenty of money but he refused and after being difficult to work with in the first movie they were more than happy to not have him back, in fact they wrote the two movies around him intentionally.

[@michaelblaine6494]

It’s weird I still see it as the future because it’s so different from what actually happened. I always figured these movies would have an expiration date but they’ve proved to be timeless. Also the 80s feel like the beginning of whatever trajectory we’re on now so none of the “present” feels dated. Then again it’s the first decade I ever knew so my perspective is skewed. Still it feels like the 90s were the last decade to have a distinct identity(and a name we all agree on) and since then we’ve had a series of spin off decades of those 2(maybe even a bit of the 70s)

[@promontorium]

@@michaelblaine6494 Yes, the decades ended after 2000. Time and culture just aren't viewed that way. And I've reflected on that for the last decade, and only recently really certain the answer is because society started putting so much energy and creativity into the internet that we kind of left those things behind. We don't collectively obsess about fashion that defines a decade, fashion just washes over constantly. We stopped having a definitive music by the mid 2000s. The democratization of everything splintered us.

[@waynejones5635]

Originally when Back to the Future was made, the sequels were not planned. After the first one was such a hit the studio wanted to cash in on sequels. The problem was Jennifer was shown going with Marty and Doc in the first movie, but she didn't really have a roll in the 2nd movie, so they left her asleep for most of the movie.

Also the original actress quit acting to take care of her mother.

Do u mean not written yet, or they didnt intend to make a sequel?, because the first ends with it saying across the screen “to be continued” if they didnt plan on making one, thatd be kind of a dumb move....i saw the first bttf in the theater in 1985 as a 10 year old & it was a big deal that it said “to be continued” b;c that never happened with movies back then & it certainly wasnt implied 95+% of the time.... i agree with the studios wanting to cash in & make money & force something to be a franchise, but it seems like Zmeckis def planned, or at least wanted, to make a sequel, again, because at the end of bttf 1, it said it on the screen before the credits , even in the original theatrical cut, its not like that was added years later to dvds

The ending of the 1st Back to the Future was meant as a spoof. Back to the Future was not expected to make a lot of money and the ending was meant to be satirical. When Back to the Future became a blockbuster and the studios wanted more movies then they were stuck with that ending for the sequel and had to write a script around it. This is the reason why Jennifer was brought with them in the car, but was ultimately knocked out and placed to the side. It was unfortunate for the part of Jennifer, but the writers were stuck between a rock and a hard place: What to do with Jennifer.

I've got a copy of that USA Today. On 10/21/15 they did an interview at the Today show and I was in the plaza. Christopher Lloyd arrived in a Deleorean but it was driven by Carson Daly then went inside. Turns out the interview was actually taped the day before and Chris was the only one actually there for that live shot. I had my BTTF Blu-ray with me and it would have been so cool to have it signed on 10/21/15. The trilogy was in theaters that day too, I arrived towards the end of 1, but was in my seat for the 2015 reveal.

[@TrekBeatTK]

As originally scripted, 2 and 3 were one movie. But in development they realized it was getting too big and they needed to give the third act climax some space. So when it was split off to its own movie, it left part 2 with no real ending (Marty just got the book from Biff after George knocked him out and burned it on the school football field). So they added the whole car chase sequence to give this one a more exciting climax.

Two reasons why the Deloreon didn’t come out frosty after time travel in this film. In the movie, the switch from using plutonium to using Mr. Fusion must’ve had an effect on that.

I once had the DVD for this movie. It had a deleted scene that illustrated the changing timeline in 2015. Remember the way old Biff was struggling when he brought the DeLorean back? That's because _he_ was feeling the effects of the changing timeline. When he sees the DeLorean disappear into the past with our heroes on board, his hopes disappear _with_ them, and he feels it. He cries out, lies down on the ground, and disappears. They cut this scene, because it raised more questions than it answered. I watched it through, once, on its own, then I watched it with the commentary on. In the commentary, they explained that, somewhere along the line (it's not revealed exactly when) Biff pushed Lorraine too far and she _shot_ him.

A little bit of cinema history - the lot that contains the clock-tower etc is the same lot that "Gremlins" was shot on. Zemeckis and the Production team originally were dead against the idea of using that lot but it's all that was available. It ended up being a massive advantage after Marty McFly was re-cast from Eric Stoltz to Michael J. Fox. They'd shot nearly half the movie with Stoltz in the role but having the static-set of the lot meant they could re-shoot around Fox's availability, it would have been a logistical nightmare otherwise.

You're right about Crispin Glover not being in this. He basically wanted too much money and was being a bit of a diva when they tried to negotiate a contract, and eventually they said they'd go ahead without him if he wasn't more reasonable. So that's what happened. Then after the film's release he sued them for using his likeness in the movie without permission.

[@poolhall9632]

The director used another actor and made him to look like Glover using prosthetics. “Robert Zemeckis got creative with footage from the first movie featuring Glover. Then, they made prosthetics of his face from the molds used to create the 1985 George McFly make up and brought in Jeffrey Weissman to wear those pieces as he recreated scenes from the first film at different angles. Eventually, Weissman would not only portray 1955 George, but 1985 and 2015 George as well. This had gone far beyond the stand-in or photo double work that he thought he was signing up” Glover’s lawsuit changed how likeness etc is treated in Hollywood. He was absolutely being a diva about $ and script changes though.

[@bobbuethe1477]

It wasn't about wanting more money. Just the opposite, really. Glover thought that the ending of the first movie sent a bad message: that wealth equals happiness. He didn't believe in that, so he refused to do the sequel, and sued when they used clips of him from the first movie anyway.

@@bobbuethe1477 Which is a pretty silly and shallow interpretation of the first movie's ending. To me what the ending of the first movie says is that self confidence brings happiness and success. The McFlys aren't happier because George has money now, the financial success and the family's happiness are both a result of George being more confident and willing to fight for what he wants.

[@TigerNightmare]

@@bobbuethe1477 He claimed it wasn't about money, but his story is very inconsistent. Zemeckis was frustrated with him while they were shooting the movie because he had all these weird ideas that would be distracting if they went with them, I believe it's mentioned in the commentary. All these claims (and contradictions from them) are from the 2013 Opie & Anthony interview, you can watch a video of it by searching for "Crispin Glover Zemeckis got really mad at me." In the same interview, he said, “I wanted to be in the movie, but the offer was less than half of what Lea Thompson and Tom Wilson - who had similar sized roles - it just wasn’t fair.” I'm not sure what a Part II with more George McFly would look like, but there's no way his part is as big as Tom Wilson's. He said the lawsuit was about people going to him and talking about work in the sequels he didn't do. “If I’d have played that part, I would have played it different. I didn’t like the way that guy played it, and people think it’s me. It’s still gets to me that there’s that confusion.” So a glorified stand-in that has two lines upside down with a bunch of plastic on his face, from behind, or out of focus in the background, he was mad that he could have done _that_ better. When talking about the first film's ending, he starts sounding like a conspiracy theorist, talking about "the banks." He said it was propaganda. Apparently, wealth is bad if it's in fiction, but if you can get several hundred thousand because another actor gets made up to look sort of like you, that's fine. By the way, Jeffrey Weissman, the actor that played George in the sequels, said Glover called him and sounded whiny about how he was treated during the first movie, and that conversation was the basis for winning that settlement, which resulted in Weissman getting blacklisted by Universal. You can read what he said at an old Hasslein Blog interview, which has several behind the scenes photos of Weissman in full makeup, which would be very unconvincing if we actually saw it in the movie.

[@retromaven2159]

I swear your enthusiasm just pours through the screen when you do these!! So glad you weren't on the verge of tears this time around. Can't wait to see how you like the 3rd installment, curiously no roads needed there either (hope that isn't too much of a spoiler for you!).

[@Twigpi]

Show her your subscription love, you know she deserves it! (could have sworn she had a patreon, guess I imagined it!)! Thank you for your reactions, Ames! I never saw Jaws either. I love that you saw the parallel between Biff and Trump 😆 Enjoyed your laughs. You know, like every year since the invention of facebook it seems like there was a viral post of an altered picture of the time machine dial and a message saying that the current year was the year that the Doc and Marty traveled to. It was such a relief when 2015 came around so it could be correct and we could finally stop seeing that. #firstworldprobs I think it continued a couple years after that though 😅 Can't wait for your finale!

[@F_ckyeasteve00]

Fun fact the kid at 6:50 is a very young baby faced Elijah Wood in his first film ever

[@turntsnaco824]

Good thing you said "very young", because "baby faced" could apply to Elijah Wood at any age. 😆

[@brandonleon4068]

The sutily on how Biff becomes from just a jerk and bully into a total assassin is one of the things that make this movie even superior to the first one. And i love how they also sutily construct the Marty's issue with the "chicken" stuff to have repercussions for his literal future. Making him a better character and about doc Brown, not just a big passionate scientist but he is such a great friend, he literally came back to save Marty's sons and risk his own life several times for him (as Marty does). This is going to be consolidated in the third one but i love how the entire franchise is not actually about time travel but about how much decitions impact our life and about friendship through (literally) time ❤️

[@pieceofgosa]

oh sweetie, it's spelled "subtlety" but don't sweat it, it's one of the more ridiculous words in an already ridiculous language :D

[@lifelover515]

Love your enthusiasm for one of the best sequels ever, and III is just as good. You don't miss much. Can't wait for the rest. You go girl.

[@Logan_Baron]

From what I heard, they actually didn't think at all that the way they dressed or anything else would be like that in 2015. They figured, based on every other movie prediction about the future, they wouldn't possibly get it right, so they just went as outrageous as possible.

[@Compucles]

Well, they did do some futuristic research, and some of their predictions weren't far off because of it. With other things like the flying cars, they knew they wouldn't exist in 2015, but they were too cool not to include them in a depiction of the future.

[@kingcosworth2643]

I can tell you as a kid we thought the future 2015 may have looked so different to the then present. When in reality everything is mostly the same, but far more expensive and money is rarer.

[@philipocallaghan]

Part one was such a hit that Spielberg shot parts ll and lll at the same time.

[@candicelitrenta8890]

Was that Spielberg, or Zemeckis? Z WAS the director. S was the producer

[@dustywaynemusic6297]

Spielberg didn't direct these

[@user-fk6wl9mq1f]

Fun fact. The older biff dies when he returned initially after giving himself the almanac. Laraine killed buff in the alternate timeline

[@user-fk6wl9mq1f]

I got a question young lady. What do u hold down since it is your KZbin handle

[@shawbros]

3:27 "Please, Marty, no one should know too much about their own density."

[@georger.3489]

My favorite out of this trilogy. Had a blast with your reaction♥

[@DESTRUCTIONKATCHUP]

Glad I didn’t have to wait too long for the sequel reaction. I was was actually excited for it and I’m excited for part 3! But a word of advice, don’t watch the after credit preview for Back to the Future 3. It’s practically a spoiler.

[@66kprdwd]

I love watching her. She’s such a great reactor. 😂 Plus she’s so beautiful I could watch her read from the phone book. 😄

[@SilverbladeDagger]

Lil side note: In that scene in Cafe 80s when Marty plays the video game and the two kids say, "You mean you gotta use your hands? That's a baby's toy!" One of those kids is a very young Elijah Wood, who would grow up to play Frodo Baggins in Lord of the Rings. Also, in the first movie, one of Biff's friends is a young Billy Zane, who would go on to play the villain in James Cameron's Titanic. Oh, and the guy who wished he could go back in the season to put some money on the Cubbies, is the voice of Roger Rabbit, another film my Zemeckis. The guy who played Needles is Flea from the band Red Hot Chili Peppers. The Western Union guy is a Joe Flaherty, a popular Canadian comedian that has been in all kinds of things. Lots of actors got their start from Back To The Future. "Oh, he sorta looks like a werewolf", um... Michael J Fox was a werewolf in Teen Wolf, which was made roughly about the same time as the BTTF movies. Still love the foreshadowing in the movie. There are all kinds of things to look for. For instance, the trains on Doc's shirt are a clue, and Clint Eastwood's lil cameo from the TV also speaks to what may be coming. Makes you pay more attention on future viewings.

[@mostlyharmless1]

Dude, you didn't take more than a second to compare the Biff casino to Trump Tower, BRILLIANT! Can't wait for Part III :D

[@dantespears713]

Tom Wilson’s (Biff) acting is criminally underrated in the trilogy

[@cleitonbelitzki9965]

Not only Billy Zane and Elisabeth Shue known at the time, Casey Siemaszko who is part of Biff's gang with his 3D glasses in 1955 and in 2015 sunglasses, even at night played a lead role in 1987's Three O'Clock High, which is worth watching, also was part of Ace's gang (Kiefer Sutherland) in Stand By Me with .

[@HeavymetalHillbilly]

And now, we need to have LOTR trilogy reaction 🤯❤️

[@woodyh4650]

I was 16 in 89 when this came out, and 12 when the first movie was released. I love watching the younger generation enjoy these movies. The 80's was awesome 🤘

[@BenBanjo87]

Biff Tannen was literally Donald Trump in this movie! From the unearned wealth to the sexual marauding, to the egotistical psychopathy... I love how Tom Wilson made his voice all the more gravelly in line with Biff's evil authority!

[@davidr1050]

1:30 -- When this was in theaters... The DeLorean time travel boom sound effect was so big, it would fluff your hair.

[@TheNichq]

"He looks like a werewolf". Oh, you have no idea how much. LOL.

[@paulgardner5079]

On 10/21/2015 in downtown Abilene Texas, a friend of mine who owned a bar had a back to the future themed party at the place, all three films were shown and staff dressed up as marty, doc and other characters

[@CrownlessKing88]

It was said Crispin Glover didn’t return in Part 2 over a salary dispute. So they had a different actor and had heavy old age makeup in him, and also him being hanging upside down made it harder to tell it wasn’t him.

[@stevegoldy2196]

It's rare i subscribe to a channel after watching one video but i did to yours after watching your reaction to the first one. I loved this reaction just as much and the "where we're going we don't need roads" intro was pure genius! i guess i will be seeing you next in 1885 and don't forget your cowboy hat

Wow! Thanks for the sub! Welcome! Part 3 to come!

The kid at 6:40 that's playing the game with Marty is Elijah Wood

[@joshthemediocre7824]

Fun time, i have watched all three of these movies over 20 times each in the last year, they have always been my favorite movies but i've been on a kick. They are movies meant to be watch more than once because of all the easter eggs tied to the cast and crew. The better you know them the more you see in the backgrounds of all the scenes, there is a prize in almost all of them.

[@pablosonic892]

I love how even Old Man Biff has no patience for Young Biff. I never noticed till my kajillioneth viewing of BTTF II how Old Man Biff actually has a lot of self-awareness and mellowed with age, musing at a lot of the absurdities of life going on around him making little side musings and comments to himself chuckling. Even Biff seems to have matured and gotten a sense of humor about things. It isn't till he overhears Doc and Marty's conversation about everything that it ignites that ugly pit that until now had been buried seemingly forever deep down inside within him suddenly reignited to new horrible levels. But, even still, the scenes where he's one on one with his younger self hitting himself with the actual Sports Almanac out of sheer exasperation is pure comedy gold. He has no time (!) for his younger stupid self. One gets the sense if it wasn't himself, Old Biff would beat younger self to death with his kane out of total frustration and recognition that the world is better off without younger him. Young Biff is a necessary evil to older Biff. Turns out, nobody likes young Biff, not even Older Biff and that is hilarious. Give it up for actor Tom Wilson who played all these different timeline Biffs, young, middle aged and old versions, then alternate reality variations of middle aged Biff, old west distant relative Biff, future bionic implant weirdo grandson Biff, and they're all different. All unique and distinguishable. That's masterclass thespian at work all timer right there. Biff and his entire family line are a deplorable lot, but Tom Wilson is no Butt-Head. Mr. Wilson is The Goat.

[@im-gi2pg]

There was some weird stupid thing with Glover. I really love his character in #1. Too bad he wasn’t in #2 and #3. I can’t believe you noticed it. You notice waaaaaay more things than I ever did. Sometimes you predict upcoming events and I wonder if you’ve seen it already! But you haven’t. Please hurry with #3!!! It’s really good! My dad had 7 coffee shops in Los Angeles: Biff’s. Biff was Tiny Naylor’s son (famous restauranteur). My dad kept the name because he couldn’t get his other name choices approved. Dad bought the restaurants in 1964 and he passed away in 1979, my stepmom had the restaurants until she became ill. So the movie people would have seen and ate at Biffs in Burbank, Encino, Reseda, Santa Monica, van nuys, LA, etc. for years. The matchbook logo is the same. I doubt that my step-brother was paid for the obvious lifting of the logo. I’m not involved or I would have pursued it. 💰 Googie coffee shops is the style. 😂 coconut cream pie, banana cream pie! 🥧

[@jgsrhythm100]

Elizabeth Shue of Karate Kid.Thats a classic ( 84) you need to watch!!

[@RJay207]

I'm going to say it: Tom Wilson is THE star of these movies. The Biff family lineage is one of the most memorable and iconic "characters" in cinema history, and all three movies DEPEND on that lineage. And if Tom didn't ABSO-FRICKIN'-LUTELY NAIL those roles, these movies wouldn't have worked nearly as well. Dgmw, the entire cast is wonderful, but Tom Wilson is the linchpin of the entire trilogy. And he doesn't get the recognition for this that he deserves. ❤

[@Caffin8tor]

Doc Brown is one of my favorite characters of all time right up there with Ellen Ripley, Shrek and Inigo Montoya

[@stephiis8882]

There's 4 DeLoreans at the same time in 1955 in this movie. There's the one from the 1st movie, which is in Doc's garage, the one from 2015 that old Biff used to go back in time that is at an unknown location, the one they used to go back in time in this movie, which is behind the billboard, and the one in the mine that Doc left for Marty from 1885 in the third movie.

[@victormagana774]

You should be a screenwriter! You've anticipated so much of the plot while watching this trilogy!

[@DiceRollen]

23:13 “He looks like a werewolf here.” This triggered a recollection 😆 Michael J. Fox did play a werewolf in Teen Wolf (1985). I’d honestly love to see you react to it some time and imo it’s a fun movie.

[@CaptOrbit]

I think 1955 Doc did realize that was a future Doc that handed him the wrench, but upon realizing that his future self was trying hard to remain inconspicuous decided not to press the issue.

[@jd-zr3vk]

The scene in 1955 when Marty is trying to get the book out of Biffs car is funny because Marty is traveling 50 or 60 MPH without a vehicle and Biff isn’t phased.

[@jonm6891]

So happy to see your reaction to this one pop up this morning! So much fun, awesome reaction, and super excited for you to watch 3! 👏 👏

🤣🤣🤣😅😅 that Doc style intro is the best , you could be female version of him , please take me to the year 2053 🙏😂 3:41 those power-laces Nike shoes actually exist , but you know ..extremely expensive :) 30:15 next little detail , this spiked punch gave courage to George when he was about to punch Biff :))

[@TheHulk2008]

Yes Biff opened a gateway to the multiverse 😮 To play around with the multiverse before the MCU and DC is pretty damn cool . It opens way bigger doors to the Back To The Future universe . Which makes this movie the biggest of the series.

[@mscolli3]

9:19 What I love is they were only a year off - Cubs won the World Series in 2016.

[@markjuarez1791]

@Hold Down A, Again you are a true delight to watch reacting to these films. Glad you are having such a fun time with them. You deserve more subscribers.

[@TrekBeatTK]

The one flaw in the continuity is this movie's events don't allow for Biff's gang to put Marty in the trunk. In this version, they split up awhile back and look for him, then spot future Marty and chase him into the dance. But in the first one they have to be with Biff when he pulls Marty out of the car and slugs him, then drag him and put him in the trunk. You'd never know that happened in this movie. Yet it must for him to be playing onstage.

[@PedroCastillo_1980]

Thank you pretty lady for reacting this amazing sequel Back to the Future Part II starring Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Elisabeth Shue, Lea Thompson and Thomas F. Wilson. Be careful with the book is dangerous (Grey's Sports Almanac) Next time Back to the Future Part III😊👍👍

[@Dr.Acula76]

I only watched this once or twice long ago and this is the first I noticed Jason Lee in this film. Love that guy

[@Terp311]

5:14 just a little Easter egg about the “shark still looks fake“ line. Steven Spielberg was a producer on this trilogy and for Jaws. A common criticism for jaws was that the shark looked fake.

[@d_jedi1]

Double ties is a reference to Blade Runner. The police spinners are taken directly from that film (and later, appear in the Star Wars prequels)

[@TomRNZ]

Crispin Glover was replaced by an actor named Jeffrey Weissman for this movie, which is why George McFly doesn't really appear in it apart from in the distance and in that one part with him upside down so as to make it not so obvious that it's a different person. There are differing accounts as to why he didn't return. The producers have said that he asked for too much money to return, but Glover denies this. The real reason was probably because he was unhappy with the ending of the first movie as he felt that it suggested that the moral was that money equals happiness, and he made his dissatisfaction known. He later won a lawsuit against the producers because they used his likeness in the sequels without his permission. Not only did they recast him (which would be fine), but they used the molds of his face from the first movie to create prosthetics for Weissman to convince the audience that Glover was in the movie.

[@BubbaCoop]

31:51 The novelization makes a point of Marty noticing that the book was missing its cover when Biff pulls it out of the safe

[@obywatelcane6775]

Old Biff knew how to operate the Time Machine 🙂Not only that. He parked it somewhere in '55 without arousing suspicion. Later, he was able to take off, knew the principle of operation of the Flux Capacitor, and land in exactly the same place.

[@scottb3034]

Everyone was freaking out in 2015 because the Cubs were a step away from going to the World Series and making BTTF's prediction come true. They lost in the round before the WS that year but won the very next year for the first WS win in 108 years for the Cubs....it was remarkable how close this movie got just by making a joke about them. This is my favorite of the 3. Great flick, great frickin flick.
