Lea Thompson Talks Back To The Future

I was the customer service rep handling the Universal Studios account at the air freight company Universal Studios used. Even before BTTF was released, I went to a meeting at Universal as they wanted to make sure this movie was handled correctly (and of course it was, as Universal was a premiere client 😉). So I'm guy that prepared all the logistics and paperwork for all the international shipments of BTTF posters, press kits, etc, and even the film itself. Yeah, I'm kinda proud of that.

[@FacheChanteDeux]

Glad to see Lea standing up for Crispin's work. He is a great actor, it is a shame they could not make it work for him. That is the main reason why I didn't see the sequels, the first movie is a pure gem.

[@465marko]

Do you mean, didn't see them at the cinema, or didn't see them AT ALL?!?! FacheChanteDeux!! I really hope you just mean at the cinema. It'd be hard not to have seen them, they were replayed on TV so many times, at least where I grew up. But oh man... I'm just imagining someone that's never seen them. Actually it wouldn't be so bad, cause you'd be in for such a treat. I almost wish I was in that position now. But not really, I'd have missed out on all the funtimes as a kid. I think they screwed Crispin over, but the movies themselves are so, so great. Especially considering they're sequels, and sequels usually suck. Terminator 2 was good. But I can't think of many other ones. I saw Top Gun 2 recently... I'm glad it exists, but... eh. There's just no comparison for me. I have to admit, I'm even more a fan of the second BTTF than the first. And then maybe number three last. Although that's not fair, they're all the perfect trilogy. Ok, bye!!

Moving forward without Crispin Glover was a terrible mistake. He is a genius and he was the funniest and created the most pathos of all the characters. I remember when I was a kid being so mad at Marty (and the people making the movie) for scaring George McFly so deeply with the walkman. He was an innocent. And the universe was being unnecessarily cruel to him. It was the GENIUS of Crispin Glover that brought those feelings forward.

[@nebularain3338]

He did ask for more money than maybe what his actor status was entitled to though. I agree he was amazing, but he carried that grudge for years and had less of the acclaim that he would have if he had just sucked it up and accepted what would have still been decent pay for the sequels.

[@tomjoad1363]

Yeah it's such a genius that he is only known for that part worldwide. He is just na egocentric selfish idiot that think he was right over everyone else and got fired for that. Not really smart for a genius. HE did not even undernstand the meaning of the story. Thinkning it was all about money. Then ask for more money ? Stupider there isn't.

[@tomjoad1363]

@@nebularain3338 Wrong. He was always questionning writer, director and producer choices. He though the end was to the glory of money. Georges Mc Fly did have some money in the modified future because he was writing good novels. That was a consequence of his choices. He was back then the kind of guy who hated money (remember we are in the Ronald Reagan Era), but hten sask a huge amount ofr the sequel ? HE did not even respect himself. That's why they skipped him for the part 2. Plus his role wasn't that important. They could have written off his character at all. The only mistake the studio made was to do a Crispin look-alike. The actor who played his part helped Crispin glover winning his case when he sued the studio. Crispin never thanked the guy. INcredible. This guy is the black sheep of the BTTF family.

She shed a lot of light on what happened without bad mouthing anybody. I heard Crispin's side many times and from Lea's story it's obvious that Crispin and Eric both saw it from the characters point of view and wanted to tell an honest story. The guys behind the camera wanted to entertain. So they split them up. Divide and Conquer. And Crispin was without an ally. Then they got rid of Crispin.

[@drdreel5559]

I watched the movie the other day and the weird thing is that Stoltz was right. You have a guy who has just watched his father figure get assassinated, who then goes back in time by accident and is trapped there, terrified. He knows no one and then finds out he's going to die unless he can stop a sequence of events happening that he inadvertently caused. His salvation depends on catching lightning, and when he returns none of his family are the people he actually knew. It's actually pretty disturbing and without really pushing the comedy angle they would have had a VERY different movie.

[@nightmareTomek]

You don't actually know whether Marty saw Doc as a father figure. And after that Marty is confronted with more situations than a person can process in a short time: his own near death, his chase against someone with a bazooka, his time travel, and 1000 new things in this strange, new world. He also knows that in the time he's stuck, Doc is alive, he can save him just by telling him (which due to Hollywood tension reasons didn't go very smoothly). And not only did he have satisfaction by actually saving Doc, but improving the lives of his family, too. Just at the cost of his memories not being accurate. He accomplished this despite the odds being against him. As for the memories, people can only speculate how many memories got affected by this, let's call it new timeline. Maybe these aren't even that many, or not significant ones. Maybe only backgrounds change. At the very least his parents don't become entirely different people. He also suddenly realized that he can go on the road trip with his girlfriend. And he was witness to the most incredible scientific accomplishment. All in all I highly doubt anyone would gloom over it. I think it would be possible to make a dark, disturbing movie out of it, but things would need to be changed and I highly doubt anyone on this planet would have the brains to accomplish it without the film being very dull.

[@liquidbraino]

When I was in high school I lived at 1200 Riverside Dr. Where they shot a lot of scenes from "The Wild Life". I remember the first day of filming at that location, I had never seen a movie set before so I had no idea what was going on when I saw all of the big trucks lined up and down the street, then all of the cables, then some guy with a radio telling me that I couldn't go home because they were filming a scene. So they finally finished the scene (I think it was one that they never used in the movie). And I walked over the bridge, right past Eric Stoltz and Lea Thompson. I had no idea who they were. This kind of thing went on for the next few weeks, every day coming home to a movie set and watching them film. There's a scene which starts off on a slice of pizza floating in the pool and there's a couch at the bottom of the pool. I was standing almost directly behind the camera when they shot that and remember the director thinking to throw the pizza into the water just a few seconds before they rolled the camera. Back then that place was called "The Royal Equestrian" because they had roughly 32 horse stables. Now it's just called "1200 Riverside Dr." One interesting fact that most people aren't aware of - they used more than just actors from the movie "The Wild Life" in BTTF, they also used some of it's sound track. In the scene where Marty puts the headphones on George and scares him with loud music - what he's playing is definitely Eddie Van Halen but most people can't identify what song it is or they think it's "Eruption". It's not, Eddie Van Halen wrote the sound track for the movie "The Wild Life" and that guitar that you hear is from the scene where Christopher Penn's character climbs the roof to get to his girlfriends window. Kind of a "peeping tom" in fact I think the song right before this one on the movie sound track is called "Peeping Tom": kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ7GZ5looKisgrc A few years after that I (coincidentally) ended up living at an apartment complex right across the street from the Puente Hills Mall (where they shot the first time travel sequence from BTTF). It was about a year after the movie came out and I think I was watching it on VHS or something when I noticed that the mall across the street from my house was in the movie. I paused the movie and went across the street - sure enough, I found the exact spot where the Delorean had spun it's tires, there was still a deep set of grooves where the tires were spinning and burnt rubber was still there around the edges. I went back home, grabbed a razor & an envelope; went back to the mall; scraped off some of the rubber and stuck it in the envelope then went back home & finished watching the movie. Of course I lost that envelope years ago but I currently work where the clock tower scenes were filmed (Universal Studios). We used to have the original Delorean from the movie at Universal but it's now at the Peterson museum. If you want to visit the location where the first time travel sequence was filmed - this is the exact spot where the "Twin Pines Mall" sign was, at the end of the driveway Marty skates down: 33°59'36.19"N 117°55'49.46"W

How is she still so damn beautiful, inside and out? I never felt the awkwardness of mom falling for her son, because all I kept thinking was how HOT Lorraine was.

About 2:25 she describes Eric Stoltz's reaction to the first read through of the script, talking about how sad it would be for Mart to now have a very different memory of his life than the rest of the family does. Sadness aside, it would be very difficult for him to interact with them. they are not the same people he knew, he is not the same Marty they have known. I have always imagined something happening, a few days or weeks later, where his parents try to discipline him for something, and are lecturing him on his behavior. He gets angry and goes off on them, "What do you mean Dad? YOU were a peeping Tom! You almost got run over falling out of a tree peeping at her! And YOU! Mom! You were drinking, and smoking and you were a slut!" When his parents express astonishment at all this he gestures to his face. "Recognize this face? remember Calvin Klein? Guess whoooo!"

[@christopherfoote4643]

It really wasn't a comedy. It was a dramatic film with a few comedic elements but it was mostly a drama. It would have been especially hard to play the role straight. At least some credit belongs to Stoltz. It wasn't completely reshot. It was adapted for Micheal J Fox. But I think the majority of it was with Eric Stoltz.

Not much different

[@jc6594]

Happy 55th Birthday Lea

[@idiotglee]

it was weird, the 'imposter dude' was called 'Crispin' on set by most during the pt 2 shoot

[@jamesschrader1244]

The interviewer sounds like the teacher in the Charlie Brown cartoons. I never knew what question she was answering. SHe is so down to earth you have to lover her.

[@Jordansparte]

Sounds like Lea and Crispin could have been a real life item. She seems to adore him.. that would have been great. Still a travesty he wasn't in the 2nd film.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Apparently Crispin wanted equal or near equal pay with Michael J. Fox and the studio balked at the idea, so they ended up hiring a "character actor" from the Universal Studios lot. In part 2, George McFly is upside down in the _Ortholev_ which makes it harder to notice that it's not Crispin Glover. He was perfect as George McFly, so it's too bad it didn't work out for him on BTTF 2. (They used some footage from BTTF 1 for the McFly family scene near the end of BTTF 3). Crispin is also a very strange person, as you can see in virtually any interview he's ever done, especially around the time he was making Back to the Future.

[@putinscat1208]

That, and he went nuts on Letterman.

[@Lord_Thistlewick_Flanders]

Strange or not, it's now been debunked that glover wanted equal pay to MJF. The truth is that he was offered less than half than the rest of the principal cast, which was a dick move on their behalf.

[@PopGoesTheCultureTV]

Hey, JustWasted3HoursHere Putins Cat Steven Ainsworth. I couldn't agree more. Thanks for watching! Best, David

[@colonelsanders1349]

Steven Ainsworth Apparently he was also a massive dick towards the writers, the producers etc. He wanted important parts of the film to be re-written and changed. The guy had no idea what a pecking order was...

[@no288]

Great interview! Lea has such a great upbeat personality ; )

[@jubalcalif9100]

I too love your chipper personality ! She comes across as a fun person !

[@harlemsar]

She is great, nice to get to see this interview.

[@peterwbeckerjr2738]

She is one hot lady that would never give me the right time of day if I asked her out for a date

[@veltonmeade1057]

She reminded me of a great movie and I am going to watch it tonight, "Enemy Mine".

[@Dan.50]

She's like fine wine.

Best interview, one in a million.

You are too kind! Thank you so much!

[@fionating3389]

she wonderful actress in 1980 movie called Back to the future all three movies

[@stephenindc9102]

Good golly, I like Lea Thompson. So cute, and so smart.

[@andywerner838]

still looks beautiful

[@chitwatt2504]

She grasped her character so well and to think I understood it as well as she described it...love her in BTTF

[@metricdeep8856]

They didn't make her this pretty when they aged her in the films. What a smile, what a doll.

[@IPlayOneOnT.V.]

"Back to the Future" was where I'd fallen in love with Lea Thompson. And, it's amazing how now when she really smiles, all these years later, all those years just completely disappear from her face.

[@sifugurusensei]

Eric Stolz, as brilliant as he is as an actor had it wrong about guitar players. Most rock guitar players dont grow nails long. I keep mine trimmed.

[@missprincegirl]

Dario Wirtha and they didn’t have to be dirty either, yuck

[@Decimator-jh4gu]

I liked short nails has a bassplayer.

[@scotttrosper7878]

I think classical guitar players grow their nails. So yea he had it wrong there.

[@dont_follow5777]

Fantastic interview. Love her honesty.

[@deadpoinsettia]

"TOM! How could I have been so careless?!"

[@SceneComparisons]

wow it was a long time since I learned anything new from Back to the Future

[@PopGoesTheCultureTV]

What did you learn?

[@jayNicks10]

They did overestimate 2015. But they underestimated how beautiful Lea Thompson would be in 30 years.

[@arbutuswatcher]

She gave a really good summary of the BTTF Story Arc, & depth of experience on the movie series.

[@lordofhousestewart1821]

Lovely lady..great interview.

[@jubalcalif9100]

Yes, she seems like one class act !

[@CoreyT127]

That's crazy. I never thought about how bad it would suck to remember a completely different past than everyone else!

[@WesCoastPiano]

Crispin Glover should have won an Oscar for Back to the Future. He was that fucking good.

[@iamradical]

You can tell she’s a really good mom because she always mentions her kids in interviews.

[@VERMISIMILITUDE]

Just subbed you!! This is wonderful to watch!! Your channel is fantastic!! Thank you so much for this! I’ll watch the rest of your channel!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@drinkinslim]

Wow, she's amazing. The interview was great but the interviewer needed his own mic - so quiet and hard to hear. Fantastic how normal she is. :)
