Back to the Future sued for MILLIONS

Today, I dive into the history of the Back to the Future franchise.
Why Michael J Fox almost wasn’t Marty McFly?
Why we have two Jennifer’s?
And why did George McFly sue the studio?
Find out that and more with my first 3 minute video!

And hey guys, this was actually a pilot for a new Snapchat show coming out, but it’s allowed to be on KZbin post approval, so I decided to put this up as a test. I want to do 3 minute videos off my polls/quizzes, which will be shot more for KZbin, but this is a sample of what I made. I also will post another today on mosquitos, but let me know your feedback!

[@chrlpolk]

It sucks, Chuck.

[@vikkiledgard8483]

​@@chrlpolk That's such an intelligent, well considered comment! How do you manage to live with all the lesser folks around you 🥱🤔 🙄 🤷🏼

[@vikkiledgard8483]

Actually, I quite liked this video! You included some interesting and informative information in there. Well done, Charles, I'd like to see more 👏🏽 👍🏽 😀 ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@DM-wu5hn]

It's not good that actors get a bad deal when they are so well liked. My brother pointed out that the names, the ages, the personalities, and the situations on Family Ties were much like ours in my family. It became uncomfortable to watch for that reason. What would someone be able to find out about one episode of a show? Specifically, on one episode of Roseanne, the daughter was bullied by the entire family. I used to think it was a warm and comical show. S2E9

[@mickstuff2754]

Very nice of youtube to allow some facts

[@ShyGuy83]

Back To The Future is my #1 favorite movie trilogy of all time, not just for the story, characters, and themes, but for the fact that my grandma and I each got to meet Christopher Lloyd on two different occasions. She got to meet him during the filming of Part 3 in her area way back in 1989, and I got to meet him at SiliCon in San Jose last year.

[@StacyBaldwin-qv5cj]

Lonesome Dove would be my favorite trilogy.

[@vikkiledgard8483]

Meeting Christopher Lloyd is on my bucket list! I'm not jealous at all........🤷🏼😉🤣♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@EJK2099]

I like this new format of your video where you are more detailed but laid back and not rushing through information or short of breath. Keep up the great work.

[@EJK2099]

Thanks for the heart Charles

[@thomasgarza9304]

Glad to see your new format. Very professional and entertaining work, Charles!

[@mmakotal4388]

I Dont like it its to distracting to follow on with the story

[@ddavenpAZ]

Great video! Timed very well and not so hurried as your shorts appear to be at times. Great research into the topic as well. I learned a lot I didn’t know before. Looking forward to more of these types of videos. 👍🏻

[@jillie_chan]

Okay but no? The 2nd and 3rd movies weren’t planned at first. They were shot back to back and came out within a year of each other. The lawsuit wasn’t about having a different actor play George it was the archive footage of him at the dance. They used footage they already had of him and didn’t pay for that likeness. (It’s when Marty has to go to the dance to stop Biff’s goons from jumping the past-version of Marty playing “Jonny be good” and when George punches Biff)

[@S4NSE]

aaah now it makes sense, ty

[@robbiecotner3666]

There are several interviews with Crispin where he states it was over the use of prosthetics to emulate his face.

[@sockoblocko]

This the first video of yours I've watched since my critique of your cadence a year ago. Not sure if you read my comment before or not, but I really think you've done an excellent job with your speech. You no longer sound like an AI bot. Nice work.

[@Charlesperalo]

Hey there, this means a lot and I appreciate it. For my shorts, the voice is still probably like what you remember, but that’s more of a game of speed.

[@sockoblocko]

@@Charlesperalo makes sense. And I hope you didn't take my critique as insulting, I was only trying to be helpful cause I think your great and I wish the best for you. Genuinely. I enjoy your content tremendously.

[@skiss_skiss_houwhi_houwih40]

I like the new set up for your videos :)

[@amandaredd3057]

This is great! I enjoyed it. Do more topics like this or just things you don't see on every other channel. Good job

[@seanfurry56]

So he got mad at the ending cause being rich isn't a happy ending. But he wanted more money in part 2 and sued to get more money

[@hellobrix]

Good job upgrading the setup!

[@jeremyashford2145]

Don’t know you, never seen your work before. Great video, good information, on point, no time wasting.

[@Severussnapebestfriend]

I loved that movie. So much all 3. My favourite time travel movie

[@JamieGAdaire]

I honestly really loved the recurring joke in GLOW where the director wrote a movie exactly like BTTF called “Mothers & Lovers.” He’s at a party when he finds out about BTTF and freaks out.

[@Darth234Ravenous]

Thanks to him for making some kind of barrier to ai look-alikes many years beforehand.

[@ytr8989]

Back to the Future wouldn’t have made it without Michael J Fox.

[@purplerider2362]

Damn bro. You be looking like a model for Calvin Kline

[@Ur-_-Killa-TV]

Love the content Charles!

[@stewarta5993]

Crispen Glover is a terrific actor

[@tommywolfe2706]

I thought you just asked a lot of questions, I didnt know you had a channel like this....and if your other videos are like this, I have been missing out!

[@FuzzyFoot58]

I think Glover was right about them using his likeness; they didnt do it with the girl who played Jennifer so why do it to Glover? But I disagree with his thoughts about the ending of BTTF 1; Martys parents DID feel much more love for eachother.

[@Projectmayhem82]

That was a awesome video thanks man 👏👏👏👍👍👍 bravo!

[@blackmagician7645]

😮 Dang. Never knew the sequel Crispin Clover was another actor in a face mask. That's wild.

[@alanguages]

There should have been a Back to the Future alternate reality scene, where Eric Stoltz and Claudia Wells meet Michael J. Fox and Elizabeth Shue.

[@SonOfSassy]

Hey a real life Charles video 😂 first time watching in a while

[@Jo.La84]

There are two Jennifers? I saw the movies a lot of times and did not notice 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Billy_Herrington1969]

This longer form videos are pretty neat.

[@1jet1]

Nice video Charles. One thing that stood out was not the content, but the fast tempo of voice. In the last 30 seconds it was as if you speeded up just to ensure you male the 3 minutes mark.

[@eglantinepapeau1582]

Crispin Glover is such an underrated actor

[@freestrike2000]

They didn't just make Weissman look like Glover. They used a mold of Glover's face for the mask Weissman wore. That's why Glover sued them!

[@Pinefr0st]

Crispin's idea for the ending would have been a lot better though.

[@nomandatoryvaxing7433]

Yeah I would be pissed off too. They clearly made it appear that he was in the movie. Crispin Glover is a madman but I love it

[@bluestrife28]

I never knew this. Wow, it kinda keeps with the person I imagined Crispin to be, he always plays such intense brooding roles even in comedies.

[@Blessedresiliency]

Yeah that was pretty interesting . Sad to hear how that worked out

[@denisemayosky1955]

I agree. I see Crispin's point, though. In some ways, it's kinda sad the family changed, I kinda liked the way they were before. I mean, it's good they got confidence and stuff. I guess it was necessary to show how radically things had changed. I think they should have talked it out and addressed his views. And they should have addressed the whole conflict with the rest of the cast and simply explained he wasn't coming back and they were replacing him, like they did with Claudia Wells, instead of trying to make him look like Crispin. That put the replacement actor, Jeffrey Weissman, in a bad spot, which wasn't fair to him and left bad feelings all around. But it's kind of timely to bring this up, seeing the big SAG-AFTRA (don't know if I got the acronym right!!) strike, where actors and writers expressed their concerns of being replaced with AI, where even their images could be co-opted without their permission. This case was kinda prescient, actually. Sorta like the movie itself! If anyone knows more, feel free to elaborate.

[@dannybauman1454]

So much could have been avoided if they had not screwed him over.

[@silashurd3597]

That title though!😂

[@mickstuff2754]

I love the movie but i do remember as a kid having the same thoughts about the ending of the movie

[@canaan5337]

I didn’t realize it wasn’t Glover in the back to the future 2 and 3

[@Loader2K1]

So, basically, Crispin Glover changed a part of the future for real. You learn something new everyday.

[@FargonNemeloc]

Well, im happy the Crispin Glover lawsuit happened, I wouldn't want a zombie or an illusion replacing a real actor, living or dead and using their likeness just for appeal to franchises

[@ryans6442]

This is interesting, and I know that it was designed for Snapchat but I think it could be a bit longer and more fleshed out. It would be interesting to here how this could tie to the actors strike

[@trompentertainment6913]

Back to the future is one of the many franchises that inspired me to become a screenwriter. It’s one of the many franchises that influenced my television show and I met Christopher Lloyd a few years ago. Crispin glover killed his career by suing Robert zemeckis,Bob Gale and Steven Spielberg because they used prosthetics of his face on a different actor in the sequels and he’s still bitter over thirty years later.

[@TayWoode]

I can only remember him from this and Charlies Angels

[@theflyingdutchguy9870]

it feels like a cash grab. they did it to make it look like the character, not the actor. he just saw an oppertunity to make some easy cash.

[@peterlenham3180]

Peter Cushing in Rogue One was CGI, not deepfakes. The technology to create deepfakes wasn't possible when Rogue One was released back in 2016, so they had to use CGI.

[@dhenderson1810]

They also did it with Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) at the end of "Rogue One" as well.

[@RS-qo1rb]

How much did he get in the settlement? Does anybody know?

[@locomojoboy2]

If only you spoke like this in your shorts

[@marvelstarwarsfan8410]

Sad how the Flash movie did this with the George Reaves and Christopher Reave

[@DestinyFilmWorks]

Actually Crispin won't have anything to do with 2 or 3 but if they just did a showing of BTTF 1 he would show for that..

[@timw4369]

Crispin Glover was not all there under the hair.

[@tedmatheny7784]

How is it precedent if it was settled out of court?

[@DollarEuro_]

Your voice here sounds deeper than in shorts tbh

[@bellab9286]

Never knew. I thought he was in all three

[@Razgar_Voxel]

Crispin Glover hated the ending of the movie for sending the wrong message because he felt it was a wrong message about what matters in life. The problem being they were more well off. Yet he wanted more money to comeback as George McFly. I think this was one of the 90's editions of "Who is a Hypocrite?" I love that show.

[@Noumenon4Idolatry]

Haha Nice Thanks I didn’t know that 🎉

[@YAHUAH870]

Krispin Glover spoke out before a lot of these celebs. Dude has a cult-like following for that.

[@TheMrParagon]

I after with this rule because you could have someone portray a character that they don’t want to for various reasons like religion morals ect

[@frankbandera6591]

You forgot one thing Charles. Back to the Future predicted 9/11. Check out "Back to the Future predicts 9/11" from Barely Human.

[@MettleHurlant]

The best replacement for Fox was not Stoltz. Fox is an overactor, and Stoltz is more subtle. The role needed Fox. Glover has every reason to be salty about his replacement.

[@scottie-j109]

It would be interesting to know what actor made the most money for NOT appearing in a movie.

[@TheBOG3]

Debra Winger for 'A League Of Their Own'? They had to pay her then pay her replacement, Geena Davis. Debra bailed when she found out they hired Madonna for a role in the film. She had already trained for the role. She said, "I'm not making an Elvis movie." In reference to the studio hiring Madonna.

[@joseoctaviomorenorodriguez9541]

Terrence Howard for Iron Man 2

[@S4NSE]

mmh I dunno, they didn't try to recreate Crispin, they tried to recreate the Charakter ... but I guess it makes sense

[@edsanville]

So let me get this straight... this guy didn't like the ending of Back to the Future because it promoted the idea that the family was better off with more money... and then he refuses to work on Part 2 unless he gets paid a lot more money. What a stupid Hollywood hypocrite. God, these people make my skin crawl.

[@blip3337]

Thought this was a new lawsuit, we all already know this stuff, cherished timeless movie everyone has seen.

[@vikkiledgard8483]

Actually, I didn't know about any of the lawsuits or thaee 3:06 3:06 te Crispin Glover was 3:06 wso bitter about it all. It was very interesting to me. It's amazing what you can fin

[@realjohnlove]

He deserved a million dollar salary

[@Tradhistorian]

❤

[@ConernicusRex]

As with anything you report that isn't about who's fucking who; this is incorrect. Since Crispin settled, this suit set no precedent and the industry has done similar things with other actors 2-3 times every decade since (and that's only counting the major studios) had the suit went to court and Glover won, it would be a different story but we don't live in that timeline.

[@Krooksbane]

Based Crispin Glover

[@SpockBorg5]

Weren't they going to originally do 1 sequel, but the movie felt too long so they broke it up into 2 movies

[@DW3010]

It was always going to be two movies. I think I remember hearing at the time it was the first time in history a studio had done that. Filmed both sequels back to back.

[@SpockBorg5]

I remember one of producers talking about it and said that it was intended to be one story, but it grew to big to fit into one movie so they turned it into a 2 parter

[@DW3010]

@@SpockBorg5 on paper maybe 🤷🏻‍♂️ they asked Michael J Fox if you go anywhere in time where would you pick? And he said well I’d love to be a cowboy. That’s why they went with the old west theme.

[@offthegridgreco]

Here's my 2¢, with inflation, cost of living, & misc expenses, about $5.00 today. (1)Don't rush your speech, shorten it. (2)I don't like selfie videos! Get your mug off the screen & show your content. (3)Aren't there enough celebrity videos?? (4)M.J. Fox's disease, & R&D would make him proud. In other words, choose a worthwhile topic!!

[@litjellyfish]

I wonder how it will be in the future. I fear that it will be exceptions and then the flood gates would be open Still tbf I would not mind another movie with James Dean in it

[@Yourworstmacmare]

I’m glad you quit long form content Charles!!! We don’t want your bad content on this internet!

[@connivingcat]

hi Charles, can we play games

[@ScratchGlass9]

20 years late on this info, kid.

[@StacyBaldwin-qv5cj]

He was mad because a woman was getting paid twice as much as him, sounds kind of sexist to me. I don't like when they change out characters actors in sequels, but if you aren't willing to do the job for what they offer, they have the right to replace you. End of story.

[@Kannpass]

This was too slow for me, had to play it at 2x speed.

[@conornolan5745]

Good video but the title doesn’t really make sense so not sure that it will get many views

[@Chevalier_knight]

No wounder he sued and won even i thought he was in the second film

[@azrael_morningstar]

👁️👄👁️

[@nj3195]

Funny enough, it may have wound down his career but people know who he is! 😂 Hollywood ain’t S$&t! Crispin and Tom Cruise should have a chat or project! Tom stepped out of the three ring circus of the studios😊

[@tomioka_giyuu_isnot_depres9597]

Cool that you downplay your looks. But dude. Use it while that option is available. Chicks will sub like crazy. Nevermind.

[@HollyMurphy3]

He sounds like a narcissist.

[@todoed1ts]

first

[@comenowletusreason6330]

Ironic how he didn't like the ending having them be rich in the new future because it would send a bad message, then turns around to sue for money.

[@WetbackNoSetback]

This is gonna be used for a lot of lawsuits for AI in the near future

[@drainenjoyer]

bad title

[@Will-dn9dq]

The truck scene did feel so cheap. Like you literally saved yourself and family made your dad more confident. An heres a "brand new car!" Typical gameshow happy ending a new car😂 Funny fact after surviving aliens the soldier actor made more off his likeness used as a picture in alien3 than had he agreed to less $ an being the carrier of the alien opening the film. 😂 didn't wanna die like that
