Awesome you’re watching Aliens next. One of my favorite Sci-Fi movies of all time. Has great pacing. I’d watch the theatrical cut the first time before the directors cut. I would explain why, but it would give away the plot.

What a great back to back feature 😁 of Aliens AND Back to the Future!! The sequel I (although wonderfully) recall the least so...I'm thinking, I should watch it first!

​@havok6280 A wise choice, since they had to recast the role.

[@Pixelologist]

@@havok6280 Elizabeth was more of a known quantity from those first three.....sure (the others came some time later). But that's NOT the reason Claudia Wells was replaced as Jennifer. Claudia's inability to commit the time needed for the sequels - due to her caring for her ailing mother - created the opening for Elizabeth to step in.

[@JohnJimmyJoe]

George McFly was recast as well for 2 and 3. No more Crispin Glover.

[@JustSomeRandomFilmFan]

Okay, so... In the scene where future Biff has gone back to 1955 to give himself the almanac, you see 1955 Biff arguing with the mechanic about the price to repair and clean his car after the original manure crash. The mechanic says there's an extra charge because he had to hire Mr. Jones to come haul away all the manure that was in the car and spilled on the road. Now cut to the tunnel chase scene, and Biff hits a manure truck with "D. Jones" written on the side. That's Jones hauling away the exact same manure Biff already hit, so it's literally "same shit, different day." Of all the subtle callbacks and interconnected details of the series, that's my favorite.

A few bits of trivia. 1) They decided early on that, when it comes to depicting the future, movies always get it wrong. So they opted to turn the future into a series of jokes. 2) In a deleted scene, you learn that the old man trying to save the clock tower in 2015 (talking about the Cubs winning the world series), that character is actually the mechanic who removed the manure from Biff's car in 1955. 3) Due to creative differences, the actor portraying George McFly refused to be in the sequels, which guided the idea of having him die in the alternate reality, and whenever you see the George character on screen, he's not recognisable (for instance, turning his back to the camera after saving Loraine from Biff's assault in 1955, or when he shows up in 2015 after a golfing accident "upside down"...). 4) Yes, that was indeed Elijah Wood from LOTR, and yes that was also Billy Zane from Titanic. 5) Nike actually did release a limited edition of the auto-lacing shoes in 2015 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the movie (no hoverboards from Matel though!).

[@johnsensebe3153]

They invented a new camera system for this movie called Vistaglide. It was a robotic camera that could repeat camera moves precisely, allowing the filmmakers to move the camera around while an actor was playing multiple roles in the scene. They would choose which character would be the focus of the shot and have the camera repeat the move for each other character. Then, they could combine the shots during post-production. The first film to come out using this system was _Dead Ringers,_ which was filmed after this, but came out before. The Vistaglide system would go on to be used in _Who Framed Roger Rabbit,_ another Robert Zemekis film, where it was used to hide some of the apparatus that brought the Toons to life.

[@carlop.7182]

What was amazing about this trilogy is that each part starts exactly where the previous part ends--You can watch them all together as a giant 6 hours movie. So much well done. How did they make it ?--that's what I like from 1980's movies that I grew up with: without modern computers, movie makers had to be creative & invent new technologies. You can see it in this trilogy, & movies like Star Wars, Ghostbusters, Robocop & many others. Everything was hand-made. The third one works the same: pay attention to tiny details. My favorite of the 3 ?--all, part 1 was new back in the day, part 2 have more time travel (1985, 2015 & 1955), and part 3 wraps everything up into a complete story and ties some loose ends. You'll see by yourself (no spoilers from me). Have a nice day & I'll watch what else you did on your channel. For the future, they missed the mark on several things, but you have to look at it with a 1985 mindset. In the mid 80's, I remember kids at school talking about flying cars for year 2000, so when part 2 came out, flying cars in 2015 made sense.

[@GroovingPict]

When the two Docs are talking to eachother, that's presumably a split screen. It looks seamless because the lamp post is providing a nice clean boundary, so there's no obvious colour or lighting differences if the split had been in "mid air". Sometimes though in movies they would use actual twins, like for example in Terminator 2, where Linda Hamilton's twin sister appears in the scene where Sarah Connor is operating on the Terminator's skull and you see a mirror shot but no reflection of a camera, because it's actually not a mirror but an opening, with Linda's twin sister on the other side. And also the security guard that gets killed by the T-1000 while mimicking him is played by a set of twins

[@johnsensebe3153]

There's an awesome effects shot where the DeLorean starts out as a model when it's flying and then becomes a real car, and the split is also hidden by a lamp post. Getting the motion control rig for the model car to match the real one must have been tricky.

[@PK-122]

The ironic thing is that Tom Wilson, who plays Biff, is in reality one of the sweetest, funniest, and hardest working actors in Hollywood. My wife and I met him at a convention a few years back and he's never let his fame get to his head. He's remained humble and approachable. If you get a chance to check out his stand up comedy, you'll really enjoy it. The Question Song in particular is hilarious!

31:45 ... 'how did he know' ... there's many theories that Marty was actually killed and murdered by Biff, and Doc had to go back and save Marty. The top of Biff's casino's roof where Marty was shot or he jumped.... and then again when Biff ran Marty over in the tunnel. Doc went back to save Marty's life. That explains why he knew where to be at the exact moment and also it explains why Doc's keypad destination input was faultering as he had to go back a bunch or even many times.

Love all the connecting Easter Eggs you pointed out in your commentary, so I think you'll be just as successful with the 3rd one

[@DougRayPhillips]

Commentors are correct. The first film was written and shot with no plans for a sequel. In between the last shot and the rollup credits, they inserted a Title Card with "To Be Continued," but they didn't really mean it. It was just a joke. But it was so popular that, a few years later, they sought to actually create a sequel. And they got almost everybody back on board, except the George and Jennifer actors. Wrote a story based around the actors they had, mostly Marty and Doc. Wrote enough material for two more movies, and shot it all in one session (cheaper that way). Had to re-create the 1955 dance sequence, rebuild or redress sets, get as many of the original bit players back as possible. They released Part 3 in theaters, the same week that Part 2 came out on VHS. Smart marketing. One thing I've never understood is why, once a Part 2 did exist, they had a "To Be Concluded" card at the end of Part 2 (which is correct of course), but REMOVED the "To Be Continued" care from the end of all new copies of Part 1. I guess they had their reasons.

[@DamonCzanik]

Welcome to the future of 2015! There's generally 4 ways to do doubles on screen and I'll explain why this movie was so amazing. 1) Use mirrors (but it quickly becomes obvious it's a mirror) 2) Use twins (T2 did this for the T1000, they even used Linda Hamilton's real twin) 3) Body doubles (but you can't show their face or it ruins the effect) and 4) Side by side - where you have.the actor stand in 2 places (but can't have them interact with each themselves since we cannot occupy 2 places at the same time). This was often done by putting the camera on a tripod and cutting the picture into 2 pieces. having the left of the first shot be one character, and the right shot is the actor moved slightly. Then combined into a single shot. The magic is they have the doubles be the real actor and do a side by side effect but they interact with each other. Old Biff hands the Almanac to young Biff. How? Look up the "Corridor Crew Back to the Future 2" on here. They break down exactly how it was done. Today it is a fairly easy digital effect or deep fakes but back then? Pure. Movie. Magic. ❤

I loved both your reactions and I'm looking forward to your reaction for the third film which is just as good as the first two. I think this is the best film trilogy of all time in my opinion. I recently discovered your reaction channel and have greatly enjoyed watching. You are beautiful, smart and charming. Please keep up the great work!

[@beannathrach2417]

Multiple occurrences of an actor in the frame have been done from years by filming the actor repeating the scene multiple times and then splicing parts of frames into the same final frame. The usual way was to have some vertical edge the actor never crossed; that made a safe place they could join left and right crops of the two takes. This way required locking down the camera for each take. Camera moves have been added by a new technologies that allow a camera to move the exact same way for each take. This basic technique works as long as the actor does not have to pass in front of himself or interact with himself. Green screens can be used in different takes to isolate the actor from the background and pile up the takes in different orders. When Biff hands himself the magazine in the car in the garage, this was one case of an actor interacting with himself. They used a mechanical arm just under frame. Old Biff puts the magazine in the arm which then moves the magazine through the windshield post which where the frames where joined. Then loaded arm moved the magazine across the windshield where young Biff takes it out of the mechanical arm. We interpret that as old Biff handing the magazine to young Biff.

[@renzero9206]

Yup. The one that is really amazing in this imo, is when Biff and Marty (1985 version) are squaring off in 1955. And 1955 Marty runs out the door, UNDER Biff's arm, knocking "himself" out with the door. That shot was incredibly well planned and executed.

[@DonForceFeedback]

Yes! thank you for pausing it at the end! Love the reaction so far, looking forward to the third one. 😛

[@UpLateGeek]

Great! You've finally closed out the time loop, so I can finally give you my take on how this whole time travel loop business works! When Marty _first_ went back to 1955 in Part 1, it was the "current" version of Marty who went back. His life was made up of whatever events occurred up to the point when he first time travelled back to 1955. He then went and did some things that changed the course of future events, and when he went back to 1985, he had created a _new_ 1985 in which a few small things about his life, and the lives of those around him, had changed. But most importantly (or perhaps second most importantly, next to his mother getting over her crush on him), that course of events created a _new_ Marty, who then proceeded about a similar course of events leading up to _that_ Marty travelling back to 1955, in which he may do things differently, creating another new course of events leading to another new Marty in 1985, and the cycle repeats. Keep in mind this is a different branch from the original Marty's timeline, so when each successive Marty goes back, he necessarily creates a new 1955 each time, because that branch loops back from a different future branch. So yes, you were right, this does create a time loop of sorts. And while it might sound like this is problematic, keep in mind some people believe our universe is one in an infinite multiverse of parallel universes, with a new one created every moment due to quantum scale uncertainty affecting the outcome of events. So the creation of an infinite loop of parallel timelines only makes the infinite number of parallel universes in the multiverse into a slightly larger infinite number of parallel universes in the multiverse. Anyway, interesting you mention cyberpunk, I would normally recommend the book Neuromancer by William Gibson, which was an early cyberpunk novel that popularised the term _cyberspace_ and brought the cyberpunk genre from obscurity to the masses. It was published in 1984, so it definitely would've been widely-known by 1989, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale had read it before they started working on the screenplay for this movie. I'd _normally_ recommend it, however the "plus" app of Apple TV have announced they've greenlit the first season of a Neuromancer series, so you may want to watch that if you're interested in reacting to a TV series. (I normally also recommend the audiobook, but the one narrated by Robertson Dean, his voice is to die for!) Lastly (if you're still reading this!), I'll just say I'm glad you enjoyed Part 2, and can't wait to see you enjoy Part 3!

[@abovewater6918]

The funny thing about Biff, is the actor that plays him is actually a super nice guy in real life. Which is even more of a testament to his acting

[@DataCab1e]

The thing that usually gives away split-screen double shots in earlier and lower-budget productions is the fact that the camera is dead still, and the doubled actor remains on opposite sides of the screen, away from the split. Here, they used a motion-control camera, allowing the camera to move, if only subtly, which greatly improves the believability of the scene. They also got more creative with the split lines. For example, in the shot when young Biff meets old Biff, the split follows the lines of the car's trim.

[@MarcoMM1]

Great reaction Teegan like always, this one is amazing this might be my favorite trilogy of all time so I love seeing how much you love it! I can't WAIT for you to see Part III. There are some fun facts about this one. This movie was filmed back-to-back with Part III. If you notice they replaced the actress who played Jennifer Parker, Claudia Wells in the original Back to the future, but had to pull out of appearing in Part II after her mother was diagnosed with cancer. Elizabeth Shue was cast in the role instead and even re-shot the final scene of the first film, so it could be ‘replayed’ at the beginning of the second. This was Elijah Wood in his very first film role, Wood’s role, as an awed child by the arcade cabinet playing that game with pistols, Crispin Glover who portrais Mcfly Sr in the first one, did not apper on this one. According to Glover, he discovered that he was offered far less to reprise his role in any given sequel than Lea Thompson for a similarly sized role, Glover’s agents demanded a higher fee and script approval, and Bob Gale responded by offering even less money than before. As a result, Glover pulled out of the sequel as was replaced by Jeffrey Weissman in heavy prosthetics. This is partly why George McFly is almost always shot in the dark, from behind, or upside-down. One of the more memorable gags about the future occurs when Marty is assailed by a holographic shark outside the cinema (or ‘Holomax’). The Jaws films, in spite of the critically panned Jaws 3-D and Jaws 4, are still going strong in the fictional 2015, marking the nineteenth entry in the franchise. Jaws 19 is directed by Max Spielberg, son of the legendary director. Max was born in June 1985, the ‘present’ era of the trilogy. Actors playing themselves is nothing new - and it wasn’t new in 1989, either. However, this was mostly achieved with clever camerawork and body doubles. Back to the Future Part II broke the mould by using a VFX trick that allowed the same actor to feature twice in the same frame: the ‘Vista Glide.’ As usual, necessity is the mother of invention. Given the number of times characters interact with their past selves, or alternate future selves, or narrowly avoid continuum-obliterating paradoxes, exactly this technique was needed. There are a genuine stunt injury in this film in the hoverboard chase. Due to a technical difficulty with the wires suspending the actors, Cheryl Wheeler-Duncan - the stunt double for Darlene Vogel’s Spike veers off-course and slams into the concrete pillar next to the glass. Ouch! She then falls 30 feet on to the concrete below. Evidently Zemeckis saw a silver lining in this on-set mishap, as that take is the one we see in the film. Keep up the good work.

[@joeo4496]

This movie helped pioneer the use of the vista-glide camera system which allowed all the scenes where multiple actors play multiple parts in one scene. It's a computer controlled dolly system.

You can watch it, it's not really "spoilers," because II and III were filned together, and they showed us the end when we saw it originally in theaters.

[@MarcoMM1]

For those who actually want to know how it works... In Back to the Future, changing the timeline is not instantaneous - the larger the gap of time that has to change, the longer it will take. In most time-travel stories, as soon as a change is made in the past, the entire timeline of events that followed it is completely erased and replaced with the new eventuality. But that's clearly not how it works in Back to the Future; because if it was, then the moment that Marty pushed his father out of the way of his grandfather's car, thus preventing his parents' first meeting and eventual relationship, Marty would've disappeared almost immediately. No, the way that Back to the Future works, is that time itself is a tangible thing that actually exists; and therefore, it can't just disappear and be replaced instantly. The timeline has to be rewritten: gradually and the longer the gap of time, the longer it's going to take. In Back to the Future, the reason that Marty is the last of the children to be erased, when logically he should've been the first, is because, the new timeline continuity started by Marty's interference, was gradually rewriting the future histories of George and Lorraine, overwriting both Dave's and Linda's existence, before working it's way to Marty. In 2015, when Marty takes Marty Jr's place in the meeting with Griff, Doc has tomorrow's newspaper handy. When the Hoverboarding incident occurs that lands Griff and his gang in Jail, the change was instantaneous, because that paper was only one day away. Now, when 2015 Biff goes back in time to give his 1955 counterpart the Almanac, that is literally 60 years worth of history that has to be rewritten. He had ample time to return to his future in 2015, because the overwriting timeline hadn't reached that far yet. But it had reached 1985 by the time Doc, Marty, Jennifer and Einstein went back. In fact, this is proven thanks to deleted scenes from the movie. See when Old Biff gets back to 2015, he starts acting weak and collapses behind a dumpster in pain. Most people assume this is because he accidentally broke off the top of his cane in the Delorean, and then struck himself in the stomach with it. But a deleted scene proves otherwise; Biff is in-pain, because he's being erased from existence, like Marty was in the first movie. As the Delorean flies back to 1985, the scene shows 2015 Biff fading away. He disappears because, despite his future where he is wealthy and corrupt, he never makes it to 2015 in the new timeline. This would later be revealed why, as it was originally planned that in the Alternate 1985, when Biff corners Marty on the roof, Lorraine was supposed to appear and shoot Biff, killing him, to protect her son. (I honestly kind of wish they'd kept that.) But you see my point - in Back to the Future, the timeline doesn't get "deleted" nor does it get rewritten backwards. Time can only move in one-direction, so therefore, it gradually writes over itself whenever a sequence of events is changed. It explains everything in how Back to the Future works... I'm not saying that this is perfect, because the movie has to take some licenses with it. For example, the book of matches that Marty took from Biff's Tower, the Newspapers both Marty and Doc had from the Alternate 1985, and the Fax that Jennifer took from 2015. In these instances, whenever the timeline is changed, the aforementioned objects change instantly - Biff Co becomes Biff Auto Detailing; George McFly's Murder changed to his Honorarium, Doc being Committed to him being Commended, and Marty's firing being completely erased. We'll have to chalk that up to the movie wanting to have a visual confirmation that the future had been changed. But as for everything else, the logic is sound. Resuming this is a Ripple Effect. SORRY FOR THE LONG POST.

[@kaptnwirrbart4467]

Hey, thanks for your post. Nevertheless there are two plotholes in the movies, where these explanations won't fit into. Biff shouldn't be able to return to this 2015, because he changed the timeline. Its just needed so that Doc & Marty gets back the Delorean. But this 2015 shouldn't exist anymore because of the changes in the past. And there is another plothole, which might be easily overlookable. Doc survived in part 1 because he red martys letter. But at the end of part two marty directly interrupts the scene where doc should have collect the parts of the letter somehow. So this event won't happen and doc shouldn't be aware of the future events in 1985.

[@MarcoMM1]

It appears as though there is no way for Doc to have received the message. However, in the third movie, it is revealed that Doc had a plan in place to receive the message despite Marty not being able to deliver it directly. It turns out that Doc had recorded a message for himself on a tape recorder, anticipating the events that would transpire. This tape recorder was hidden in the time machine, and Doc discovers the message from Marty when he repairs the time machine in 1955. So, although it may have seemed implausible at first, the movie explains how Doc Brown ultimately receives the torn-up letter from Marty through the use of the recorded message on the tape recorder. Your question makes a good point - but it relies on the assumption that Doc didnt retrieved the torn-up letter at the end of the night after Marty successfully went back to the future. But the fact is, we don’t know at what point in the evening Doc retrieved the letter. There’s a large window from the time the letter was thrown in the trash (early evening, prior to the dance) onward. Indeed, with all the waiting around alone while the dance was happening, things playing on his mind, it’s quite plausible Doc retrieved the letter from the trash during that time, even if he vowed not to read its contents at that point. So when he fainted in BTTF II and was taken home by Marty, he would have already had the torn letter in his pocket. And theres another explaination.I think its over complicating it. Doc assumes he was killed. We see him rewinding that part of the tape when Marty walks in on him. Marty gets out that the letter is about the night he goes back that something happens, doc is assuming he is killed for some reason, and i think shortly after everything dies down with getting marty back, he simply decides he doesnt want to die, and reads the letter.

I like the detail when future Marty comes home from work, picks up his guitar and plays the riff from "The Power of Love".

[@davide1980BoIT]

- They had to change the actress who played Jennifer in the first film because Claudia Grace Wells preferred to be close to her mother, who was seriously ill with cancer at the time. - There are some references to a movie released in cinemas a year earlier and directed by the same Zemeckis: "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". The tunnel of the last battle between Marty and Biff is the same one used in the previous year's film and a Roger Rabbit soft toy can be seen among the goods displayed in the window of the shop where Marty buys the sports almanac, in Hill Valley in 2015 . - The actor who plays Biff's mechanic in 1955 is the same one who confides to Marty in 2015 that he wishes he could go back in time and bet some money on the Cubs (the elderly gentleman who asks for a contribution to repair the court clock). This helps us understand how Terry's character has evolved. - The actor who plays Douglas J. Needles in 2015 (Marty's work colleague who, with the transaction, gets him fired) is Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Michael Peter Balzary, known as Flea. - In a deleted scene we see what happens to Biff from 2015 and why he feels bad after returning to 2015 from 1955, stealing the time machine: after a few seconds, while Marty and Doc load Jennifer into the DeLorean, he slowly vanishes. Online rumors say Marty's mother shot him and he died in the 1970s. - Much of the script for this film would have been different if the actor who played George McFly in the first movie, Crispin Glover, had accepted the compensation offered to him by the production for the second and third films. But he refused and in the second movie they had to use either archive images (like photos or when George is at the school dance in 1955) or another actor, shot either upside down (like in Marty's house in 2015) or from afar (like will be seen at the end of the third film). This actor is Jeffrey Weissman. So George's murder in this movie is a narrative device to make up for the absence of the actor of the first movie. - This film was one of the first to massively use ILM's "digital compositing" technique, that is, shooting the scene several times with the same actor playing several different characters and interacting with himself. For example, at the table in 2015 there are 3 Michael J. Foxes (father, son and daughter), in Biff's garage in 1955 there are two Thomas F. Wilsons and in 1955 in the courthouse square there are two Christopher Lloyds. The moments in which they interact (like old Biff's slap at his younger self or doc from 1985 passing the tool to his younger self) always have a dividing line in between (in the windshield of the car with Biff and the lamppost with doc) and that's the point where the two images recorded separately are superimposed (and, obviously, the hands of Biff and doc are not those actors' hands but those of other people).

[@ronfehr7899]

I just found out why I thought that the guy from the first movie, the one who uttered "Crazy drunk driver" was former mayor Red Thomas in the first movie. Wandering around the demolished Hill Valley, Marty bumped into the same guy, and he called him Red.

[@KateSuhrgirlPlays]

I like to believe that is maybe the former mayor's son Red Thomas Jr but directors said Michael J Fox just admitted that. Definitely couldn't be the former mayor as he looked in his 50s in the 55 and in 85 he would be like 80 something yet looks mid 40s.

[@Joker_JAK]

​@@KateSuhrgirlPlaysYeah. The filmmakers confirmed it definitely wasn't him. They even said Red probably wouldn't even be alive in 1985.

[@KateSuhrgirlPlays]

Ive seen the trilogy like a million times and can probably get every trivia question right regarding the movies but the coolest rewatch of the movies was seeing all 3 back to back to back with like a 15 minute intermission between each movie in theater was so awesome. It was 12 bucks to see all 3 which included a large popcorn and large drink with free refills. 2nd coolest time was when my work paid for us all to see the first movie at a drive in theater which was my first time at a drive in and learned that you'd change the radio to a certain frequency and listen to the audio in your car while watching it on the screen.

[@BrianKoppe]

Just to add to your appreciation of Tom Wilson, the actor portraying Biff: he's reportedly actually a super nice guy!

[@shallowgal462]

The marquee said _Jaws 19_ was directed by Max Spielberg (Steven's baby boy at filming). When they do the same person more than once in the same shot, they use a computerized camera that repeats its moves _exactly_ so that shooting multiple times everything matches perfectly.

After seeing the trilogy multiple times, the 2nd is my favorite because of all the inter-connection between it and the first. The third really doesn't have many callbacks at all, but there are one or two, so I'd say the 2nd is my favorite of the 3. Love the reactions, started on your Bully playthrough, Detroit Become Human, and Cyberpunk 2k77, and now watching your movie reactions and loving every second of it.

Fantastic reaction! Your reactions in real time during the film---not too chattery, very attentive. You are one of the best reactors I've seen to this movie, and I've seen a lot. I was 13 when the BTTF original came out and 17 when this #2 came out. This trilogy is my fav movie (s) of all time. It's such a joy watching young people react, esp great reactors like this channel.

[@NominePatris]

I can't separate the movies, to me they are all one story. And that story is fantastic! Great reaction!!

[@richardb6260]

Bob Gale, who co-wrote these films, wrote some stories for a Back to the Future comic book. In one story, we learn that Doc Brown paid for his hover car conversion, Mr. Fusion, and facelift by going back to 1938 and buying a stack of mint Action Comics #1 (the first appearance of Superman) for 10¢ a copy and selling them in the future for over $1 million a piece. So much for not using the time machine for financial gain.

[@AlexSmith_Rhysand]

At 7:58 you can see the stunt woman in Biff's gang hits the pillar and falls to the ground. That wasn't supposed to happen. She was seriously injured after falling 30 feet onto concrete instead of landing on the pad they were supposed to land on. The cut still made it into the film. That is the extent of my Back to the Future trivia.

[@bonbonpony]

25:23 Oprical printing. They record the same scene two times on two different reels, then use an optical printer to combine the two images into one. The scene is clearly divided into two by that lamp post, and you can see at 25:15 that the only case of interaction between the two characters happens when one of them gives the other a wrench, and it happen behind the lamp post. Another actor in dark suit gives the wrench to doc on the left, and he's masked so that only the hand sticking from behind the lamp post is visible. The other doc (in dark suit) puts his hand behind the lamp post from the other side at the same moment, and his hand is masked on the other film reel. Then they combine both with an optical printer. It's amazing how much they could do with classic cinema tricks back then without computer graphics, isn't it? :J

[@CaddyJim]

Yes *Jennifer Parker* was recast & so was *George Mcfly* *Claudia Wells* (mother had cancer) & was replaced by *Elisabeth Shue* who was popular in the *80's* from other classics like *The Karate Kid & Adventures in Babysitting* *Crispin Glover* had disagreements on the editing choices in the first film & ultimately a Salary dispute is why he did't return to focus on projects that were more of his interest

[@JohnRandomness105]

3:00 The whole issue of arriving back in broad daylight when the entire neighborhood could potentially see... Well, that's a sign that the Bobs didn't have any notion of a sequel. Did you notice Doc's alternate reaction to how well Marty and Jennifer turn out? "Yes, you do become an asshole. But I can't tell you." 19:00 Nixon's fifth term -- good catch. He also vows to end the Vietnam war by 1985. 21:40 1885 to be precise. 25:20 They were both Christopher Lloyd, except for the arm that gives younger Doc the wrench. The pole was the dividing line. 32:20 Notice that the newspapers and the matchbook don't change until Marty burns the almanac. As long as the almanac exists, the Bad Future still awaits.

[@vinnycordeiro]

One piece of real life trivia: the Chicago Cubs had an incredible campaign in the 2015 season and people kept referencing this movie, but the team was eliminated just shy of the World Series (that they ended up winning it in 2016). The joke is because the Cubs had the longest streak in the MLB for not winning the title at the time, and it was over a century since the last World Series when they won it. Life almost imitating art. :)

[@tvdroid22]

I don't know why everyone says don't watch the "spoilers" at the end of this one. That's exactly what we saw in the theaters. They reshot that first scene for continuity with the new Jennifer. And yes, it was that date

[@joeo4496]

Exactly: Bob and Bob put that at the end because they wanted people to see it.

[@trevorcooch3839]

I'm so glad you stopped it at the right time, as you did avoid massive spoilers. In the first film Marty recorded doc explaining and demonstrating how the Delorean works. The camcorder with that video is still in the car so old biff could watch it to learn how to time travel. The 3rd film will be your favourite I bet.

Also once you finish the films there is Back To The Future the game. Produced by Bob Gale with Christopher Lloyd returning to voice Doc it is basically the 4th movie. Made by Telltale who made the Walking Dead games that I know you loved.

In addition to digital compositing, ILM used the VistaGlide motion control camera system, which allowed an actor to portray multiple characters simultaneously on-screen without sacrificing camera movement. Back to the Future Part II was released by Universal I copied and pasted but already knew this but that's how they did two people at once sorry I love this movie

There actually was a Back To The Future themed Soarin’ with the original cast! It was at Universal Studios Florida for a long time before it was rethemed as a Simpsons attraction. The Simpsons version is also fun, but the BTTF version is on KZbin if anyone wants to check it out.

[@scottishfilmhistorian]

Hey there, love your videos, hope you enjoyed this! Since you really enjoyed The Terminator, I'd recommend Commando! Edit: Claudia Wells played Jennifer in the original but was replaced by Elisabeth Shue in this film. Fun fact, she also played Ali in The Karate Kid and chose to do Back to the Future II instead of Karate Kid II. I won't spoil that for you, as I would recommend it since you are on a bit of an 80's run at the moment.

[@canadianicedragon2412]

They were good at blending this movie into the first. They may not have "planned" movie 2 when the first came out... but they planned this one to tie in perfectly into that one. For the two versions... when these we made I think the "usual" method was the double record. To "simplify" the explanation... look at the 2 doc Browns on the street. Look at the lamp post. If Doc Brown one "stays" to the left, and 2 stays to the right... with a stationary camera, you can use the lightpost to line up the 2 sides and merge them. Hollywood, even back then had more sophisticated tools than what I just said but you get the idea. It was the actor in two takes as 2 people.

Zemeckis is a very inventive filmmaker. His films from the 80s and 90s are among most of my favorites. The actors playing multiple parts in a scene were accomplished with a camera that could repeat its movements exactly by computer program. It allowed editors to splice the takes together without any visible cues that gave away the effect.
