Marty was cool, he wasn't afraid to stand up to bullies like most protagonists. I know that a huge part of his character was learning how to walk away from fights, but I always appreciated how he fought back, he just went overboard sometimes.

[@nordicexile7378]

Over skateboard in this case. 😉

[@stephenlee1664]

Sometimes you have to fight back against bullies if you don't want to get bullied. Bullies hate targets that put up resistance which is why they go after people who don't fight back. If fighting back will get me a detention then i'd very much prefer detention over a lifetime of continued bullying.

[@VanillaLimeCoke]

William Shaw Really? What changed their minds?

[@rickCoffee]

@@VanillaLimeCoke Michael J. Fox was their first choice to play Marty, but when it looked like he wasn't going to be available, they briefly hired Eric Stoltz to play Marty instead. Unfortunately, Stoltz was significantly taller than Fox, so the actor they originally hired to play Biff (J. J. Cohen) didn't seem physically imposing enough to bully him, so Cohen was recast as Skinhead and they hired the much taller Thomas F. Wilson to play Biff instead. Then suddenly, Michael J. Fox became available, so he replaced Stoltz as Marty (after they had already recasted Biff). So had Michael J. Fox been casted as Marty from the start, they probably wouldn't have bothered recasting Biff since Cohen was sufficiently taller than Fox. LONG STORY SHORT: Biff's original actor wasn't tall enough compared to Marty's original actor, even though they BOTH ended up replaced.

[@VanillaLimeCoke]

rickCoffee Wow only knew the half of that. I learned awhile ago that Stoltz was the original Marty. Just curious now who was the original Skinhead? I know in a earlier script one of Biff’s guys was called GUMS.

[@rickCoffee]

@@VanillaLimeCoke No clue there. Not much talk on who originally played minor characters. But on a side note, Marty's girlfriend was also recasted because the original actress was too tall compared to Michael J. Fox. Seems like quite a few actors got replaced simply because of how short Michael J. Fox was.

While I do agree that it’s s bummer he got early onset Parkinson’s, I can’t really say he did not have a great future - he isn’t letting it stop him from many things, including his amazing family and kids. It is a bummer, but I love it how he’s still kicking ass! 😊

[@jlee2383]

Zero CGI. Just incredible directing, cinematography, editing, music, stunts, and acting. This might seem like a minor set piece, but it’s one of the most exciting sequences in movie history as far as I’m concerned.

0:46 Only shot of Eric Stoltz in the film.

[@juancarlosm658]

I paused it right at 0:46 and it still looks like Michael J Fox to me 😕

[@mikael8864]

@@juancarlosm658 You only see his fist, shoulder and a very quick glimpse on the side of his face in the scene where Biff falls on the table. You can tell that the guy who throws the punch is taller than Fox.

[@JKLu06]

Yeah at 0:46 Marty looks taller and the punch he delivered is straight to Biff's face so it is confirmed that the punch was by Eric Stoltz

[@spacey1335]

Yeah you can tell its eric because one minute before Marty takes the punch, Biff is looking down on him, but then right as Marty is doing the punch, the camera jumps to biff's face which shows him staring at Marty eye to eye. If you play this at the 0.25x speed you can see this.

All time classic film, I remember going to see this in 85 at the movie theater when I was 10, I was transfixed. Amazing memory

[@funkya1840]

This scene is the reason why I started skateboarding 36 years ago to this day.

[@roadkill_666]

There are so many cuts in this scene to give you the full perspective, its ridiculous. Combined with Silvestri music, the older I get I just appreciate it more and more. Goddamn what a fun scene

Biff Tannen was a great villain for Back To The Future(1985). His personality was intense,but his actor Thomas F Wilson was talented.

[@HandsONreviews4u]

The picture is crystal clear for a classic😀👍J. Fox was an American STAR

Great Script! saw the movie in the 1980s!

[@auntiem873]

I always wondered how Biff got away with driving through the town park bushes, sidewalk and almost killing him in broad daylight? Then I remember the end. I guess the cops figure having to dig yourself and car out of Manure is punishment enough. Oh, the good old days.

Well this scene and the clocktower scene was actually filmed in courthouse square on the backlot at Universal Studios in California
