"Why is she doing it in front of the window?" Because she knew he (and others) were looking. That's why her dad say "another one of these kids". Also go back to when she asks George what he was doing and listen and look at her face, she definitely knew and enjoyed showing it off.

[@BobCarletonJr]

I've watched this movie probably a hundred times and it was only another similar comment on one of these that I realized this and it made so mcuh sense. The "another one of these damn kids" thing always bugged me and it makes perfect sense.

[@jaybird8192]

It was not planed to make sequels, but the movie did so well at the box office and became such a classic that it was decided to do sequels! This is considered one of, if not the best time travel film in history!

It was made with a sequel in mind.

[@turbopokey]

My folks had a vw bus of the right shade of blue back in the 70s. I think it stayed in Alaska. Later on in the early 80s in Michigan we had a darker blue bus but neither one of those buses had a sunroof. I didn’t know that was even possible.

[@laurelg9586]

my sister lived in upstate NY and had yellow VW bus with no heat and no back seat but we had great time freezing in it while going to all the antique stores.

[@alancrofoot]

Doc and Marty are the basis of 'Rick and Morty' on Adult Swim. It's really funny. The guy who tells them 'I'm afraid you're just too darn loud' is Huey Lewis, the guy who wrote and recorded the song being played. Also, it's my understanding that they didn't know before shooting part 1, that they were going to make any sequels, but when this film became a runaway hit, parts 2 and 3 were a done deal.

[@jawbone78]

Yes, in the original theatrical cut the movie just ended with them taking off into the future, but they added the "to be continued" to the home video release. As a kid at the time it felt like FOREVER between the release of the first and second films, but it was only a little over four years (and then just six months between 2 and 3).

[@willracer1jz]

5:17 the guy telling him he is "too loud" is Huey Lewis the lead singer of Huey Lewis and The News and the song Mart is playing is their song. Marty's band is the rest of the Huey Lewis and The News band.

[@Hardrock1a]

And maybe not so ironically, he’s virtually deaf today!

[@Scott-hc8om]

The song is "The Power Of Love" and was also the song at the beginning of the movie. Became a big hit, too.

[@Billinois78]

When this came out, Huey Lewis was huge, with several #1 hits, so his appearance in the movie was something that got people excited. All these years later, with his fame faded, his appearance is an obscure easter egg that young people wouldn't catch.

[@infiad1275]

Sad but expected I guess that virtually no reactors ever catch that.....they weren't born yet! 😅

[@minnesotajones261]

There are a plethora of Easter Eggs in this film (took me a few viewings to see a lot of them myself), and one my wife showed me. There are sites devoted to all of them. Like: - The ledge under the clock tower in the "original" 1985 is fine. When Doc in 1955 breaks off a chunk of it, the "new" 1985 still has the broken ledge. - Twin Pines Mall in the "original" 1985 becomes "Lone Pine Mall" in the "new" 1985 since Marty took out one of the two "twin" pines when he escaped from Old Man Peabody's shotgun. - The old movie theater we see in 1955 by the town hall in the "original" 1985 was a porn theater, in the "new" 1985 it was now a church. And there are TONS more...

[@pietergreveling]

Those are the best bits of this trilogy, the details, the throwbacks and the easter eggs! 👌🏼👍🏻✌🏼

[@eolsunder]

but there are also plot holes, mistakes and other stuff also besides the cool stuff. For instance when Marty goes back and visits town square he has to look up Doc's address in the phonebook, but he's known Doc for a long time and has been to his house many times, he should already know where his house is. Also Biff tries to rape his mom in the car at the dance, but yet when they are older they have Biff around polishing the car. Sorry they wouldn't have anything to do with Biff after that point, and definitely not have him hanging around the house.

[@pietergreveling]

[@SlyPearTree]

I do not agree with that, I think it's part of the original experience as back then those of us who saw it in the cinema did see the trailer for the 3rd movie at the end (for those who do not know they were filmed together so they had footage from the third when the second came out). It would be fun to see reactors speculate what the third movie would be like based on the trailer.

[@wettuga2762]

Funny thing about the BTTF trilogy: every time you rewatch it, you discover new details you missed between the different timelines! Brilliant movie and brilliant scripting between the 3 movies, even tho the 1st movie was written without sequels in mind. You'll definitely LOVE the ending of the 3rd movie!

[@johnnehrich9601]

As someone born in 1950, I remember quite well that era but by the time this movie came out, there had been many changes which had happened at such a slow pace, one didn't realize the extent to them. The people making this movie were also of that era. I love the 1955 scenes as they got every nuance perfect, the way to Marty this was a somewhat alien world, and to the people, he was alien. If I taught recent American history, I'd show the class this movie and the 1946 It's A Wonderful Life, and go through them point-by-point.

[@Reefism]

Michael J. Fox was shooting this movie and a sitcom (Family Ties) at the same time!

[@thomastimlin1724]

He must have accidently called his dad on the sitcom "Doc" in bloopers lol

[@laurelg9586]

He had originally turned down the role because of those scheduling issues but Eric Stoltz, who was playing the part of Marty, was not a comedic actor and it just wasn't working. Michael J. Fox agreed to the part and did both , running from one set to another.

[@williamjones6031]

1. Cranky principal Strickland/James Tolkan also played the ship's squadron leader in "Top Gun". 2. The teacher that tells Marty, "Hold it fellas, I'm afraid you're just too darn loud" is Huey Lewis himself. "Heart of rock and roll" etc. 3. Eric Stoltz was first cast as Marty, but he didn't play well with others and wasn't giving the tone they were looking for. fired. Some of his long shots are still in the movie. 4. The flammable material set on fire with the model exercise had to have been put there on purpose. Movie magic. 5. It's always fun to see how people react to the Marty and his mom car scene. 6. George McFly/Crispin Glover didn't like that the story ended with the family being prosperous. DA🙄 7. Twin Pines Mall becomes Lone Pine Mall when Marty takes one out when he goes back to 1955. 8. IMVHO part II is my favorite of the trifecta. 9. If you want a first time/share of an OUTSTANDING movie where Christopher Lloyd plays the heavy you must do "Who Framed Roger Rabbit".

Don't wait too long between watching the sequels, part of their charm is all the Easter eggs and callbacks between the three films. Also, if you don't like "spoilers", there's a whole ass trailer for part 3 at the very end of part 2. If you don't wanna see it, please stop the video right as the words "To Be Concluded" appear on the screen.

[@bryce253]

I use to work on the Universal Studio lot. One of my favorite things to do on my lunch break was walk through portions of the studio sets. Some of the courtyard for Back to the Future was lost to a fire back in the day but a lot of it was still intact when I worked there. The restaurant, gas station, streets where the skateboard chase happened, movie theater, and rebuilt court building were all there. The actual clock tower was there but the clock was not. I use to sit on the bench the homeless guy was on when Marty got back and eat my lunch if there was not any filming going on. Those were the days!!

[@ziggythedrummer]

The writers, Bob Gale and Bob Zemeckis, have said there are no plans for a new movie (the first was never intended to have any sequels) and they will not permit a remake in their lifetimes. I think that's a good decision - there are lots of movies that shouldn't be remade, because of how amazing and timeless the original is. Terminator, Godfather, this - dozens more I can't name at the moment! Scary thought - if this were remade now in a contemporary setting, the 1955 scenes would be moved to the mid-1990s, ten years after this movie came out. The modern scenes would involve 5G smartphones, electric vehicles etc, while the past would have dial-up internet, grunge/pop-punk, Marty would be putting earbuds in George's ears instead of headphones over them!

[@jawbone78]

There's just no way they could improve upon or even hope to match the original cast, which to me is the biggest reason to not do a remake. The casting of the first was impeccable (once they finally got Fox to take the role). The five main characters are all absolutely perfect, and could never be outdone.

[@thundernels]

The world is a better place that Godfather Part II exists, but your general point is valid.

If you took a 17 year old now, and put them back in 1994, I think they probably would feel a bit out of sorts for a while, but not even nearly as much as from 85 to 55. It’s common enough now for kids to say “I was born in the wrong decade,” so they might even look around, and say “Oh, hell yeah! This is awesome!” Then there’s less of a motive to return.

Even into the 90’s this was the attitude. It want until school Shootings did people start to say “ hey bullying is bad.” So Strickland telling George he was a slacker meant he had no respect for George because he let it all happen to himself as a “ slacker.” Yes that was me as a teen in the 80’s. Therapy session over.

When you watch part 2, stop the film immediately when you see 'To Be Concluded', because then they start the trailer of part 3 before the end credit and it's a bit of a spoiler! 😁✌🏼

I don't think they should stop the film at all at that point.Watch the trailer because Other reactors have actually stopped the film Some reactors did not realizing there's a third film Some reactors know there's a third film , didn't watch the And then some reactors have watched the trailer and it just made them more Excited to watch the third installment. It's up to you but honestly I think you should watch the Cause it is a fun little tidbit No spoilers , but they filmed part two and three back to back And people in The theaters were treated to the trailer for part three soon as part two ended Is back in the day.

The talent judge, ..."It's just too loud", is Huey Lewis. He and his band the news, did the soundtrack for the movie including the instrumental "Power of love" that Marty plays. Huey and the news were one of the top 10 most popular bands in the 80s.

[@panamafloyd1469]

A skateboarder grabbing on the back of a car is called "skitching", IIRC (slang for 'skateboard hitchhiker'). I was a young adult in the mid '80s when the film came out, skaters used to to it to me all the time when I was just toodling around in town, instead of going 70mph on the Interstate. I actually didn't mind it. Slowed down my car because I didn't want to kill them. Aside as a "car guy": (SCCA member, corner marshal and actually raced for a season) Couple of my friends owned DeLoreans. One of their favorite jokes was where the car wouldn't start - those things had horrid initial build quality. The other one was "sniffing the white lines off the highway" after DeLorean got busted in a 'sting' for selling cocaine as he tried to keep the company alive. My buddies actually had Windex and paper towels in the cars when they went to car shows..people couldn't resist touching the stainless steel when the car was unattended, and at the time, that was the best thing they had to clean off the fingerprints!

[@loganmaximus2160]

At 5:44 I just noticed for the first time that there is an enduro motorcycle in the scene. I can't believe I haven't noticed it before. I've been watching this movie since 1985 and have seen it so many times I couldn't tell you how many. The reason I should have noticed is that I had another Honda motorcycle just like it and my father gave it to me THAT SAME YEAR in 1985. Mine was a 1979 Honda XL125S. I rode it in the trails around where I lived and learned how to drive a motorcycle on it. I got my motorcycle license with it and that is what I drove to high school as a senior. Still learning things watching this movie today.

[@Billinois78]

15:36 I think the reason the couple freaked out was that they saw Marty's radiation suit. The fear of nuclear war was real and so she probably thought there was radiation and wanted to get the f outta there. Red, the homeless man in 1985, was the mayor in 1955. An earlier draft of the script explained that he was caught and convicted of embezzling, extortion, etc. Another part of an earlier draft that was scrapped was the explanation of why 1985 Lorraine claimed to never have done any naughty things when she was a teenager. Remember the school cafeteria scene where Lorraine slaps Biff and says "I'm not that kind of girl", then Biff says "Maybe you are and you just don't know it yet". Apparently, in the original timeline, she was r---- (presumably by Biff) and back then if that happened, the woman was somehow to blame and she was seen as the town harlot. She was disowned by her parents and her life went downhill, sending her into the bottle. She married George because he was deemed safe. Of course, she wouldn't tell her kids about it, so she put on the "I never did those things" act. It was too dark, compared to the rest of the movie, so it was cut.

[@ellet6560]

Can we take a moment to say prayers for Michael J. Fox and his wife, Tracy Pollan. Together they have faced the unbelievable fact that, in his 30's, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. Fox continued to work well into the 2000's. His later body of work, despite his limitations, is to be commended and forever celebrate. Michael J. Fox is a warrior!

The producers hadn't really planned on a sequel, but because this was such a huge hit they decided to do another and then another. This is probably one of the all time best trilogies. In the next two films, the actress who played Jennifer, was replaced. The original Jennifer was unable to do those films due to her mother becoming ill. When you watch the 2nd film sequel stop it immediately after it ends as both the 2nd and 3rd films were filmed back to back and the 2nd film ending shows a trailer of the 3rd film.

Another easter eggo I discovered recently: Being left-handed is historically frowned upon (even "sinister" itself is derived from the Latin word for left) and it has been long discouraged and scrutinized in various cultures (yes, I read up before typing this, I refuse to post false info.) George McFly can be seen using his right hand in the scenes before Marty returns to 1985, such as eating his cereal and gesturing incoversation. Then through Marty's involvement, George overcomes avoiding the use of his left hand in a situation where he had no other choice and knocks Biff out with a solid left hook. In the 'new' 1985 George can be seen closing the door with his left hand as well as taking off his sunglasses and nudging Lorraine's behind.

[@johnnehrich9601]

Actually, if you look closely, George is eating a bowl of peanut brittle. There was a deleted scene, an extension of the one just before this between Marty and his father. The doorbell rings and a next-door neighbor has his young son with him, selling peanut brittle to support some kid's team. Without any fuss, he gets George to buy the entire stock, which shows just how easy George is to push around.

[@PhilBagels]

George also puts his left hand on the wall when Marty tries to introduce him to Lorraine.

[@zulby09]

Marty Mcfly’s advice about George and Lorraine going easy on their kid if he/she accidentally sets fire to the living room rug evokes memory of my own childhood. I vaguely remember me around 3 years old playing with matches and accidentally setting fire to the hall couch. The fire 🔥 started small but then as it consumed more couch material, it grew bigger and bigger and I was fascinated, transfixed by this phenomenon. Any longer and the whole hall might have been burning but luckily my mum saw it and promptly smothered the fire with a thick blanket. I was grateful to her for putting it out and for not smacking me for being mischievous

There are tons of inside jokes in this. The guy who told Marty his band is too darn loud is actually Huey Lewis singer/musician who wrote and sang the song for this movie called "The Power of Love," the very song Marty's Band was starting to play. Huey Lewis and the News was a very famous band in the 1980's. The Delorean was a failed car and when we saw it in the theater, backing out of the trailer, everyone laughed their ass off. Steven Spielberg produced this, and the old couple in the car scared of Marty is an old trick of his he first used in a TV Movie in 1971 called Duel, and he later used it in another movie. Grandfather yells "Stella!" stolen from the 1950's movie A Streetc ar Named Desire in which Marlon Brando yells "Stella!" Zillions of inside jokes.

One the the hardest parts for them to continue the story was "what do we do with Jennifer?" (I thought they handled that pretty well in the next part.)

Please watch Parts 2 & 3 as BTTF really is The Greatest Trilogy EVER, and from your reactions, you are going to love them, please don't leave it too long. Spoiler alert, when you get to the end of part two it will show 'TO BE CONCLUDED', it may be best to stop it there as it shows some bits of part three, which can spoil it for some people. 🙂

Oh no, 80's music in a movie made in the 80's!

[@timothypanngam2249]

I saw this movie when it was released in 1985. When Marty says the line, "You made a time machine - out of a DeLorean..." it was a big laugh line in the theater. That's because the DeLorean motors scandal was just a few years prior (the owner was caught trying to sell cocaine to keep DeLorean Motor Company from going bankrupt). So the car and it's origins were laughable. Today's audience doesn't react to that joke because the DeLorean is not famous and looked at as a classic, famous car (partly due to it's Back to the Future fame).

WHY in the hell would you think that Einstein was going to be hurt in ANY way during the time travel experiment!???

[@paulgarcia9682]

In the scene where George and Marty are discussing the plan at the dance one of Marty's shirt pocket flaps goes from outside to inside then outside again

Make Like a tree and leaf is the correct saying, leaf as in leave. Another 50's saying is "Daddio." like "Where you been Daddio?"

[@LuckyDipster2]

As you mentioned the idea of a fourth movie, I want to give a shout out to the musical. I've seen it seven times so far.

[@PaulAJacksonMusic]

I'm often a little envious of those who haven't yet seen this. I'd love to see it again for the first time. 😂 so exciting to see as a kid at the time.

[@Shindai]

The ending to this that makes it open ended was meant to be a joke, but given the success they had to scramble to write another film, I've heard. If that's true, they tied in the sequels perfectly coz everything lines up without continuity cockups, which is quite impressive ^_^ Third film's my favourite

[@Peter-K]

FWIW, this movie started a skateboard craze that has never really subsided...

[@RealRonSwanson]

The '80s were awesome. And this is considered a perfect film (script).

[@boqndimitrov8693]

Reagan almost suffocated with laughter when the film reached the part "- who is the president?..."! when he recovered, he had that part played again. zemekis swears that he didn't plan on a sequel and the ending was just a joke. he had no way of knowing that the movie would become a superhit, especially since his previous movies were failures! according to him, this movie was crucial to survival of his career.

[@loganmaximus2160]

It makes me feel old when somebody says that something came out before they were born and it came out in 1985. I was 15 in 1985 :-( Now, I have a kid who is 26.... and two others who are 18 and 16.

[@halharvey3314]

Huey Lewis and the news sang that first song the power of love. Huey is the one with the bull horn that said they are too darn loud in the movie.

[@jefferyoetter6884]

Great reaction ❤. But I have a question. Did you even notice that the Twins Pines Mall is now the Lone Pine Mall. Remember when Marty ran over a Pine tree in 1955 when he was escaping from Old Man Peabody? This is why. I really do hope you continue. All 3 movies are connected and part 2 does set up for part 3, in which you see a different Doc. It hit him like lightening. 😂

[@willracer1jz]

42:52 awesome easter egg, at the bigging of the movie the mall was named Twin Pines Mall but now after coming back it's name changed to Lone Pine Mall. If you remember when he drove the DeLorean out of the barn while Mr. Peabody was shooting at him he ran over one of the two pines with the car, hence the name chage.

[@yaroslavpanych2067]

It's not an Easter egg at all. EE are references to something plot unrelated, external. The number of pines is directly plot related!

[@astralnomad]

@Sam & Tristan -There will never be any sequels or remakes of the BTTF movies... the creator/story writer said he refuses to do anymore. With MJF and his progression with parkinsons, he cant play the part anymore and the film crew said they wont do it without him. Trivia: - @29:30 - that swing that marty threw at biff in the cafe wasnt actually MJFs... it was a swing done by Eric Stoltz - the original actor who was supposed to play marty. they left it in the movie for some reason. - The character Biff was modelled after Donald Trump believe it or not. lol. (You will see what i mean in the sequels) - @33:54 In the car at the dance, when marty takes a swig of that booze and spits it out - it was authentic lol... The crew swapped the flask of what should have been iced tea for real booze and didnt tell him.

[@jamesdamiano8894]

Such a great movie and trilogy. I really like the next one even though it seems to have mixed emotions because people find it confusing. It’s not, you just have to pay attention. People always cringe at the peeping Tom scene. But Elaine’s dad yells that another kid jumped in front of his car, proving that she knew damn well what she was doing. No way a normal boy at that age wouldn’t do the same thing. I’ve seen this and all these a bunch of times, but this is the first time that I ever noticed that when Doc asks to see the photo again. There’s a quick cut to his finger pointing to Marty’s right hand disappearing and later on stage his right hand is what they show dissolving. As far as the ending of the next one. It’s a preview showing what the third one is gonna be about but not really any more of a spoiler than other movie previews go. Totally up to you if you wish to know or not.

[@turbopokey]

It’s so weird to think now that Marty only went back 30 years which if you went from today’s date would only put you back in the mid 90s which doesn’t feel like it’s that far back at all. Also the term “park” had some very specific connotations for kids back in the 50s. It did pretty much mean to sit in a car and make out, but Marty didn’t know this and used the word in a most unfortunate circumstance.

[@WilliamMoses355]

13:35 If one is considering to reneg on a nuclear arms deal with terrorists, one generally invests in personal protection. It's surprising he had to be told to wear the vest

[@terryv2006]

The most perfect trilogy ever made.

[@infiad1275]

41:14 Are you joking me? 🤣🤣🤣

[@billtisch3698]

Outstanding that you observed that Marty was coming back to a new reality for his family that he knew nothing about. This is the reason the original actor cast to play Marty - Eric Stolz - didn't end up in the role. He thought he should play this as a dark comedy, if not an outright horror movie. He thought it was important to stress that Marty was coming back to a future he knew nothing about, and faced a lifetime of being considered an outcast, an imposter perhaps, even insane for not remembering anything about his life or his family's.

[@MissouriJohnson]

Originally the "To be Continued" thing was a joke. They never intended sequels.

[@laurelg9586]

I'm glad your reaction saw this movie as it was meant to be seen in 1985...so many others get caught up with incest and creepiness, etc. His "mother" had no idea he was her son and he was discouraging all the advances because he DID know. Today's world is full of paranoia and suspicion that it is sad that everything is interpreted so darkly and innocence is a thing of the past...

[@Scott-hc8om]

Endgame, at Tony Stark's cabin. Tony to Scott Lang: "Are you seriously telling me that your plan to save the universe is based on Back To The Future?" I love this movie. I've seen it a number of times, and now I'm sitting down to watch it one more time with you! Great Scott!

[@candicelitrenta8890]

They did the first one as a joke not planning for a second one but the film became insanely popular and they made the next 2 as a result and they did a BRILLIANT job. So much that film classed will use this these as examples of perfect filmmaking

[@EmmettLBrown2015]

Greatest Trilogy Ever!

[@rimasmuliolis1136]

Yeah this series is riddled with things that make you say "AAAAAaaaahhh!"

[@letsgobrandon5809]

Anyone notice Huey Lewis is the guy with the bull horn telling Marty there just to darn loud

[@phtevenj]

Fun FAct : in the car scene the prop people swapped real liquor into the bottle so his spittake was REAL

[@seanmonahan]

This is false. The crew did play this prank on him, but the take ended up on the gag reel, not in the film.

[@phtevenj]

@@seanmonahan 34:09.... spittake.... what do you mean its not in the film???

[@seanmonahan]

@@phtevenj The take where they pranked him by putting real alcohol in the flask is not the take that's in the film. The take in the film is a different take.

[@phtevenj]

@@seanmonahan ok boomer

[@seanmonahan]

@@phtevenj lol Gen X, but whatever. Just do a KZbin search for "back to the future alcohol prank"

[@rubengarcia3423]

Great reaction, I wait your reaction of part 2 and 3

[@whoarocket]

This is somewhat me being old, but it was interesting hearing you exclaim when you saw the note, "Oh dang! I love you!" This is something where culture has shifted, and I still find it very weird now. In a lot of TV shows and movies now, they express it like everyone meets and has sex immediately and moves in together before they will even DARE to say the words "I love you", or talk or express their feelings. It seems really crazy and backward to me how people will get that incredibly vulnerable and intimate first before getting to a point of talking and deciding if they are actually in a relationship. So for the context of 1985, that was back in "Ye Olden Dayes", when people would date and talk and say "I love you" at an earlier stage of the progression of a relationship, rather than the very last step, as it seems to be done now.

[@raybernal6829]

Great fun reaction you will really enjoy the next 2... The producers have said there will NEVER be another BTTF and it's been said that it's in their wills. BTTF has been called by some in the film industry that it's the perfect film and used in film classes. I have seen it at least 100x. 😊

[@SlyPearTree]

This is a movie that makes me think (not seriously) that the writers had time travel as it seems written for reactors.

[@jasonrodgers1410]

"I am afraid you're just to darn loud".. the guy that said that is Huey Lewis, the guy that actually wrote and performed the song

[@CannibalKen]

It's a little dark to think Marty now lives with a family that has life long memories with a family member who doesn't know anything about family past

[@seanmonahan]

That was not Michael J Fox's singing voice. The singing voice was provided by Mark Campbell.

[@RachelXKnight666]

God this was such a wholesome reaction
