[@RichardASalisbury1]

Never heard about Eric Stoltz till now, but thought right away, on first viewing in theater in 1985 (and on many later viewings) that film no. 1 is a triumph of ensemble acting. Everyone is perfect and they work together perfectly. There is one big flaw in the trilogy as a whole though: Marty McFly's girlfriend is treated as dead weight in film 2; she's parked and left to sleep in an alley near the start, and picked up there near the end. I think no. 2 could've been a lot better if a real part had been written for her. But then 1985 is not 2018, maybe especially in terms of women getting more like their fair due.

makes me think of two things: firstly, once upon a time in hollywood. one of the things mentioned in that is how being a villain all the time keeps you cast as villains, and you never really breakout or become popular because you're only ever seen as a villain. this makes them always smaller-time roles and more relatable people as a result. secondly, the people who are most likely to take a villains role are those humble enough to not feel too personal about it. you're unlikely to get egotistical actors who see themselves as some golden boy or heroic and stoic figure, because they are taking a step down to portray themselves in such a negative light.

I think it took a lot of guts for Tom Wilson to talk about some of these things. The insecurity of the job, the real fear that they would let him go. He earned even more respect from me for talking about this. I think it was for best that Michael J. Fox was brought into the film and our 3 heroes (Marty, Doc, and Biff) really made that film series! Remember guys -- this year is the 35th anniversary of the original Back to the Future. They already announced a new 4K Blu ray set is being released. If you just want deal with regular Blu ray, that set is already out in 3 editions -- 2 standards sets released a few years apart and a steelbook Blu ray set of all 3 films exclusive to Wal Mart.

I read once that John Lithgow was considered for the role of Doc Brown. While it may be difficult for some to imagine an alternate timeline without Christopher Lloyd in the role, somehow I could actually see Lithgow fitting into the part.

BBTF was supposed a much serious scifi. They changed a script into much more lighter tone and cast Michael J Fox.

[@johnnyfavorite1194]

bunnyfreakz Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis always wrote it as a comedy. They originally cast Eric Stoltz as Marty but after several weeks of filming they felt that Stoltz wasn’t able to communicate the kind of humor they had always intended for the movie. That’s why Stoltz was replaced with MJF.

[@alfredwhittingdale9192]

BBTV?

[@nikolatesla5553]

@@bunnyfreakz From my knowledge, they didn't change the script. Michael just brought his innate comic goofy sensibility that Eric just doesn't have. I like Eric Stoltz a lot, but he was miscast in BTF. That must of been hard on him especially after it became the big hit. But Stoltz has had a good acting career with about 80 screen credits. So I'd say he did alright.

[@incognoscente]

@@nikolatesla5553 They definitely changed the script. If you search for the 1984 script, you will find a different mood altogether i.e. a PG-13 teen movie with edgier jokes (Marty is funnier) and more drama.

[@crazyfun5150]

Tom Wilson created maybe the most memorable and hated bully in a movie ever. But also made you like his character too with charisma and charm. Each version of Biff in the films you could see how comfortable he was playing the roles. It shows you how great of an actor he is that his performance stole the movie as much as the lead actors.

[@GiuseppeGaetanoSabatelli]

He's such a good looking guy, too. I'm surprised he didn't have a more prominent career.

FIVE amazing performances in one movie. You never see that. And of course since BTTF was not a "serious" movie, nobody got a nomination. It would be interesting to watch the 1985 movies that had best actor/actress and supporting actor/actress nominees. I bet most are forgettable.

[@rubygreta1]

Actually, the roles of Marty and Lorraine were much more difficult to pull off. Yes, Wilson was incredible. But I would think they could have found another "tough guy" actor. As for MJ Fox, nobody else could have pulled it off. There is something unique about him that gives him what I would think is the highest Q score in Hollywood.

[@richardpadden]

Absolutely loved the BTTF trilogy. Everyone involved made them the success that they've become. This may sound bad, but I'm glad Eric Stoltz got fired, and Michael J Fox replaced him. Talking of baddies, Christopher Lloyd was also in my favourite film, One Flew over the Cuckoo's nest, where Louise Fletcher played the nasty Nurse Ratchet, but in real life, like Tom Wilson, was an amazing woman, actress and human being.

Amazing and shocking to find out one of your favorite movies was such a "hit or miss, almost not" kind of roller coaster ride to production and theaters. The end product is so great you think they just decide, film in a stately manner and rap it up with pats on the back all around. I guess many of our most loved movies are made in such an almost accidental way. To think they could not even get major studios to take an interest at first makes you appreciate the series even more.
