The town I grew up in got split between two area codes, so suddenly I had to remember which of my friends had what area code just to call them to find out what the day’s homework was, because my doofus ADHD brain would always forget to write it down lol. I guess it was easier for me to just keep track of the area codes. 😆

If you ever watch the movie again, you'll notice lots of little hidden Easter eggs - like the "Twin Pines Mall" becoming the "Lone Pine Mall" at the end of the movie (because Marty hit one of the pines with the DeLorean), the guy who says Marty's playing is "too darn loud" is the musician Huey Lewis (who performs many of the songs in the movie with his band "The News"), the porn theater in 1985 is playing the film "Orgy American Style" which stars George Flower - who plays the "bum" on the park bench -- plus about a hundred more scattered around.

There are no big, crowd-pleasing movies green-lit anymore that aren't an already established intellectual property. If it isn't a comic book, a reboot or a sequel, the studios are not interested, period. I had a meeting at the studio that made Back to the Future (Amblin) and when I talked about how amazing BTTF is and said they should do more movies like this the executive said "yeeeeeaaaaah, but you have to ask yourself, what would make that kind of movie relevant to today's teens? You'd need something to really make it edgy". In other words, executives don't understand movies, they don't understand what people want, and they absolutely will not make what people want. Bottom line: they're not fans. They're MBAs who spend their lives worrying about losing their jobs or being blamed for a flop.

There were pencils in 1955, but nobody would ever use one for a letter. Pencils were for figuring or shopping lists, anything that wasn't permanent. Letters were intended to last, so they were written with ink, and since there were no ballpoint pens then, people wrote with ink pens, which is what Marty was using when he writes his letter. (The next step up was fountain pens, which contained cartridges full of ink that you just changed out instead of needing a bottle. From there, a semi-dry ink was invented and the ballpoint to go with it, which is the most common kind today.)

I think that they even stopped using 555 numbers because it started to become a joke. For example, in Last Action Hero (1993), the kid points out to Arnie's character that all of the phone numbers are 555 numbers, thus proving that they're in a movie. I'm not sure that I've seen a movie or show use a 555 number since. Instead, I've seen numbers that look more legitimate that I assume are either also set aside as non-working or maybe owned by the studios and just go nowhere or to an automated message (like "thanks for watching our movie" or something).

@slchance8839 Жыл бұрын

If its 30 years between 198 and 1955 and Marty is 16, that means it was 14 years between the Enchantment Dance and Marty's birth.....for a total of about 2 years until Marty's face started to look like Calvin's face. That's a stretch. So...that's about 24 years between seeing Calvn in 1955 and Marty's FACE in 1985 (assuming marty didnt look like he was 16 years old when he was 4 years old, or 6, or 10, or 11) I went to my 25 year high school reunion and I couldnt remember my Prom date, despite the fact that she hardly changed. I just couldnt remember her face, despite the fact that I was crazy about her and we dated for 2 months.

@Osprey850 Жыл бұрын

I think that they just purchased the truck for him when he turned 16 because they could afford it, as most parents who can afford it do. As for the line about putting your mind to it, I think that that was to show us that Marty is responsible for motivating his dad and turning the family's fortunes around.

(granted, i spose they'd just watch it on the iPhone) ... maybe nevermind this. :) Mostly saying that our tech change from 1985 to now has broken the idea of hooking up the "modern thing" with the "old thing"

The ballpoint pen was invented in 1888, patrnted around 1943, but didnt hit broad commercial markets til 1954. The original Batman on TV said Great Scott.

That garage was Doc's garage from the original property. When he sold off the rest of it after the house was destroyed, it became Burger King and all those other stores, shopping centers, and restaurants. The good who told Marty he was too darn loud was Huey Lewis, of the band that sang the main theme song, "Power of Love." Every phone number in North America had an area code starting in 1947, but the proliferation first of fax numbers then cell phones didn't make shrinking area codes in order to duplicate numbers necessary until the '90s and after. When I was little, for a local number in town, you only had to dial the last 4 digits of the number to be connected. Eventually, you had to dial the last 7 digits of your phone number, and finally, all 10, sometimes with a 1 first. Suicide doors open backward. Those lift up, so they're gullwing doors. First, every lane of every gas station was like that, then only the Full Service lane not Self-Serve, then there only was Self-Serve. Pay phones in 1955 took nickels, which Marty used. By the '70s, they took dimes. By the time the movie came out, quarters. In the Back to the Future movies, Billy Zane had his own hair. By Titanic, it was a wig. An average person in California wouldn't have paid any attention to who was a senator in Massachusetts in 1955. You don't know Jackie Gleason??? You have to see some episodes of "Jackie Gleason: The Honeymooners, with the stars Art Carney, Audrey Meadows and Joyce Randolph!" It's a CLASSIC from the DuMont Television Network. You can also react to Gleason here watching the hit movie Smokey and the Bandit (1977), also starring Burt Reynolds and Sally Field. He also starred with Paul Newman in the drama The Hustler (1961), which was followed by a sequel, The Color of Money (1986) starring Newman and Tom Cruise. He also starred in The Toy (1982) with Richard Pryor, and Nothing in Common (1986) with Tom Hanks. When Marty arrived, the theater had an ad outside for Cattle Queen of Montana, starring Ronald Reagan & Barbara Stanwyck. Both later moved to TV; Stanwyck starred on The Big Valley, Reagan hosted General Electric Theater then Death Valley Days, before being elected governor of California after years being president of the Screen Actors Guild. Jerry Lewis was part of the comedy duo Martin & Lewis for years before striking out on his own making his own comedies, starring in 60 movies, including The Nutty Professor (1963). He also hosted The Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon from 1966 to 2010, which raised nearly $2.5 billion for muscular dystrophy research. You were thinking of Jerry Lee Lewis & Joe Louis. Superman used to say "Great Scott!" on the radio series throughout the '40s and again in the '60s when the same voice actor recreated the role for a TV series of animated cartoons. When Marty punches Biff in the diner, for a split second they used a shot of the original Marty McFly actor from the first 6 weeks of shooting, Eric Stoltz. Go back to that scene and slow it down and you might be able to tell when it's not Michael J. Fox. The script for this movie is taught in film schools as an example of fantastic, maybe even perfect, screenwriting. The entire American side of the Niagara Power project only generates about 2.5 gigawatts of electricity, at the most! Did you notice Twin Pines Mall at the beginning was Lone Pine Mall at the end, because Marty had run over one of them? This movie ended with no thought of ever making a sequel. They just wanted to end with one last joke.

Awesome reaction Major! You were so attentive you caught many of the details hidden in plain sight or shown / mentioned in the beginning. They do the same in the next one, foreshadowing things in the third. The Secret of My Success (1987) is another great Michael J. Fox film (and Doc Hollywood).

Joe Louis was a boxer, Joe Lewis was a kickboxer, Jerry Lewis was an actor, and Jerry Lee Lewis was a singer who married his cousin. It's easy to get them muddled up.

1999 was when area codes became mandatory,they existed before that but only if you were calling from outside the area you were calling. Then one day it went from 7 to 10,I remember the day vividly. “555” was just a number they used in movies. That was great when you went off on Biff right away

That was a great reaction! Thank you! Of course they had pencils in the fifties … but a fountain pen was, is and always will be much more classy to use. I am so glad you decided to watch Back To The Future - it is an awesome trilogy that one must watch entirely to bring the best out of it. After you’ll watch parts two and three as well, you’ll see that everything wraps up in a perfect circle, like no other trilogy I’ve seen. As I don’t want to spoil anything, I’ll wait for you to watch part two and after you react to it I’ll show you something very cute (hopefully I’ll be able to put links in the comment). Looking forward to your next reaction. Salutations from a Romanian brother …

There are so many gems in this movie but lost on many people seeing it today is how they captured the cultural shock of someone in '85 going back to '55, and how the people back then would respond to seeing someone from the future. I grew up in the '50's and seeing this movie for the first time, it was "oh, yeah, that's what it was like, but things have changed so gradually, I forgot." When Marty wakes up George in his radiation suit, and uses his walkman to blast George's ears, for instance, would be to George "out of this world." The transistor had yet to be used in such devices, so George could not figure out how Marty could produce such a loud sound with so little. If anyone before 1980 told me Ronald Reagan would become president at some point, my jaw would have dropped. He was a grade B movie actor (the theater's marquee is featuring him in a movie when Marty walks into town). In 1985, the Supreme Court had recently allowed pornographic movies, but home movies in the form of video tapes were so expensive, so theaters in the now-neglected downtown (as business had moved to malls) played XXX movies. In the '50's, it was assumed there would be a third world war, with atomic bombs (they were thought to be much more survivable than we now know). Science fiction almost universally set any future story "after the atomic wars." The Kennedy-Nixon debates in 1960 were the first televised presidential ones, and Nixon refused any makeup, thinking that was too unmanly. Kennedy by contrast looked much healthier and helped put him over the top in such a squeaker of an election. Which is why Doc is flabbergasted to see Marty's "portable tv studio."

The Cafe scene is always my favorite. The existential crisis of seeing Marty's younger dad, Marty unintentionally starting Mayor Wilson's dreams earlier than he would have, and especially the fact that even something as simple as ordering a soda is difficult for someone only three decades from the future.

555 is the first 3 digits they always use for a phone number in movies. Area codes were definitely a thing back in the day. if someone gave you their number back in the day they might not have given the area code if yall lived in the same area but you definitely had to punch it in before dialing the number
