fun fact - When Marty first sees Doc at the mall spot its called TWIN pines mall. When Marty comes back its LONE pine mall. Its not an error its the cause and effect Marty did in the past. Remember when he drove off being chased by the farmer dad when he first arrived in the past? He RAN over one of the pine trees that was growing and killed it. So when Marty comes back to the present its changed in a smart way :)

All these years and I'm just now realizing Jennifer is played by different actresses......-_____-

I wish good health for Michael J Fox who is battling Parkinson’s. He is a fighter for life and a great motivator for me. Wish you well champ

I like how in Back to the Future II, when Marty asks if they'll become assholes in the future, Doc has to stop and think about it.

[@BunBun299]

The attention to detail in these scenes is astounding. I doubt anyone in 1989 thought that anyone decades later would be playing these scenes side by side like this to show how well they sync up. But they put the effort to sync them up in anyway.

[@antborb7215]

I love how the happiest part of the first movie is also the most suspenseful part of the second movie

[@vendrineswtor3190]

The way the people who made BTTF p.2 were able to nearly flawlessly sync the 1955 events together is one of the reasons I can't help but think it's underrated in a lot of ways, and is one of the best time travel movies of all time.

[@Pempel2000]

The sheer genious to incorporate a completely non-event scene like at

[@samuan001]

As a teenage viewer I didn't notice these differences, even the change of an actress! I totally sank into an illusion that all these parts were shot somehow synchronically... That while shooting the first part they had already thought about the sequel and did scenes for part II. Usually the movies were on TV rather day after day, not a marathon. So now I can see what kind of masterpiece is the trilogy. Same way the aging of characters is highly convincing.

The first Jennifer was a babe

[@MeditationVacation]

My mind boggles at how much detail they included to recreate those scenes, still a classic, watched it recently and they are still fantastic films.

[@christianlamb3911]

Back to the Future is and always will be my favorite trilogy of all time. It makes me feel fresh, young, and happy. It never gets old and everytime I watch it, it feels like I’m watching it for the first time

I love it with Doc say's "OMG they found me, I don't know how they found me but they found me". But makes no mention of his big truck with his full name on the side lol

[@alyksandriapride623]

Michael J. Fox said in his book, Lucky Man, that after getting diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, he knew something was wrong during the filming of BTTF3. While filming the Johnny B. Goode scene, he said he was a lot more tired in the second film than the first. Seeing the comparisons side by side, you can really notice the change in his energy. Very sad.

Can we talk about how impressive it is that Marty ran 2 miles in 9 minutes?

[@grifftucker7120]

The attention to detail in recreating scenes from the first movie are made even more impressive when you learn that Crispin Glover (Marty's dad) refused to come back for parts 2 or 3... this explains why Michael J Fox plays his great great grandfather in the old west (even though lea Thompson still plays his great great grandmother) and in the only scene where they absolutely would have needed him back (in the family dinner scene in 2015) they simply had the replacement actor hanging upside down, which masked the fact that it wasn't actually him... for all the recreated 1955 scenes, they either completely recycled the footage of him from the first one, or creatively hid the fact that it was a body double by having him out of focus or his back turned to the camera strategically in those scenes (go back and watch them again if you don't believe me!) Makes for some impressive camera work!

[@gabrieldjatienza6971]

The Clock Tower lightning scene links the whole trilogy, in Part 1, it's the climax, in Part 2, it becomes a cliffhanger ending, in Part 3, it's the opening scene!

[@SuperCobra1999]

The first Jennifer is hot and all, but totally unfazed by anything that is happening.

[@NoriMori1992]

Considering how many details they had to keep track of, I'm extremely impressed at how well they lined everything up.
