Crispen Glover argued that he didn't like the movie because he thought it meant "money solves everything" and that's wrong, but the original McFlys were CLEARLY struggling, everything in the house was from the 70s or older, the car was from the 70s, and it hits a lot different when you grow up like that.

"Oh, Marty, be careful around that Griff character. He's got a few short circuits in his bionic implants." -- Doc I always attributed the reason Griff and his gang spoke & acted so eccentrically is due to their bionic implants, which were still very illegal at that time. They likely got them installed from some cheap, shady black market shop ala cyberpunk. The "Vote Yes on Proposition 237" stuff in the movie's 2015 future was to legalize bionics.

The recreation of the truck scene kills me, Marty’s reaction to the truck in the first one was perfect-heartfelt and deeply thankful for having a better life. In the reshoot it just looks like a kid who got his first car. Marty’s life in the future sucks because his family changed, but he didn’t. Thus, the residue of having the Mcfly curse still exists in Marty. He wasn’t raised by a confident George Mcfly.

[@TheJFGB93]

@@MKF30 It appears that the problem is a bit more complex than that. Apparently Glover critiziced the ending of BttF as too materialistic for the story, which Gale did not appreciate, and blocked any further attemps to get him for the sequels. Here is Glover talking about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ7YeKx-l5mcfqc&ab_channel=notsam

[@MKF30]

@@TheJFGB93 It's not really that complex lol. Glover literally explains what I and others here said as well as the trivia. You can't do something illegal due to a grudge or disagreeing with someone's opinion...that's his opinion which Glover can have. Tons of actors praise their movies, rip or feel meh. Who cares? lol If Bob's feelings were hurt that still doesn't give him the right to use Glover's likeness without permission nor lie about him which the video you posted confirms btw whether he likes Glover's view or not that's pretty petty on Gale's part. And he made peace with Zemekis so I I don't believe it's all on Glover's part regarding the grudge. I am a huge BTTF fan read into it years ago, Gale was also not a fan of working with Glover because he felt he was "hard to work with" made a big deal about his hair not being exactly the way he wanted and threatened Glover over it to replace him. It's on the BTTF trivial and extra features you can only see on the special editions... He also had only done any blocking and lying about Glover after he got sued for doing something illegal in using Glover's face, plus the trivial confirms it so it's not really anymore complex than that. There's always two sides to every story but here clearly Glover was the one right legally. As for him bashing parts of the movie, that's Glover's right it's called freedom of speech man.

[@MovieVigilante]

"Shark still looks fake." That line is a good-natured jab at Steven Spielberg, whom directed _Jaws_ and produced _BTTF_ trilogy. For the record, I thought the shark in _Jaws_ looked fine and was effective.

[@wfly81]

Spielberg actually didn't like the look of the shark in the original Jaws. That's why it stays hidden until the end, and they used quick takes and extreme close ups to make up for the fact that it was an obvious animatronic.

[@antoinerideaux-porche8110]

Also it's funny because, as fake as the shark looks, it still scares the hell out of people, just like it did Marty.

Spielberg figured he would get Ron and Valerie Taylor to get a Great White to do a few tricks on cue, they told him, no, it doesn't work that way. :)

[@rjonboy7608]

Before CGI the way they did it was glimpses and shadows that made your imagination run mad. And the soundtrack. The music was usually very subtle and haunting. That's what Spielberg did in Jaws. That's what he learned from directors like Hitchcock. I think it was more the many forgettable sequels that people rejected. I think there were five.

The reason for older Marty's characterization is explained in this movie. He had an accident while street-racing and messed up hiss hand, so he couldn't play guitar anymore. His dreams of being a musician were shot, and his character entered a decline.

Yeah, but Zemeckis also knew he was not in a position to complain about it, considering the schedule that Michael J Fox went through on the first one, having to shoot BTTF simultaneously with Family Ties. So he decided to suck it up and just make it happen, and it all worked out for the best.

They probably met at the Burger King next to Doc's laboratory. Marty could hear someone blasting Wagner louder than anything he'd ever heard and had to check it out. Doc was all too ready to talk some science to this young man, having waited for thirty years to see him again.

Use clips from the original and Part II with minimal interaction between Doc's sons and people in 1985 (though you could probably do quite a lot with deepfakes and good voice acting, though I don't think deep fakes were very advanced way back in 2015, six years ago).

You ask "do the people in the future have to seem weird...?" ...and the answer is yes, it was intended that way. In precisely the same way that the author of the script for the original film based it on his parents who grew up in 1955 who felt that kids in 1985 act very weird. And let's be honest....many people in 1985 "did" act weird and unnecessarily eccentric or just plain strange. Thus, the author of this script was trying to get across that we who were young in 1985 would precisely see the younger generation of 2015 to be weird and to do stupid things. And guess what? Having seen young people in 2015 for real....they most definitely did stupid things and are very weird and irrational right now.

I was just a kid in 85, but I fully expected the 2000s to look way different

[@jakejones8032]

I was 10 when this movie came out and the future scenes were the coolest part of this film. I totally believed hover boards and flying cars would be a thing by 2015. In retrospect it's pretty silly, and someone just now watching it, 5 years after 2015, I get her viewpoint. There is no way this movie can have the same effect on you when you see it now as opposed to seeing it at release as a kid. It's like watching the Neverending Story as an adult. You simply cannot get the same emotions from an adult as a young kid who is the same age as the kid in the movie.

[@chrisg8767]

Truth! And to add to the point, to those who grew up in the 80s the idea of 2000 seemed impossibly far away, to say nothing of 2015. Consider that in 1955 the idea of humans going to space was still completely the realm of science fiction to average people. Sputnik didn't launch until 1957 and Yuri Gagarin didn't go into space until '61. So while their vision of 2015 was way off and over the top it really makes a kind of sense if you look at how crazy 1985 would look to a transplant from 1955.

[@rjonboy7608]

Everything is completely different. But I don't worry about it. I have absolutely no frickin idea what the kids are on about, listen to and all that. Nor should I. My parents used to say all that stupid judgemental stuff about us in 1985. But it's what I grew up with. I don't put down the kids today. I don't pretend to be one, but I respect them and I listen. Most of them are smart and just have to figure it out for themselves. Too many fogies running things. Hoarding Everything. Anal retentive geezers living on Atlantis.

@@rjonboy7608 Respect must be earned, if you grant it automatically...it has no value. Also....I would most definitely not say that "most" children today are smart; they demonstrate the opposite in every venue.

I love how Biff just automatically know how the time machine works to be able to go give himself the almanac.

[@JGlaister]

As someone who worked with cars and was around for their evolution, I'm sure old Biff knew how to drive a hover-car. What's to say he didn't go off somewhere for a few weeks to figure out the time circuits first. He has a time machine. He just has to make sure he takes it back to the right time and place.

In-between the original and this sequel, Robert Zemeckis made Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Hence, it wouldn't surprise me if he got used to cartoony characters. BTW, you should react to that film if you haven't seen it already.

[@WastedPo]

Another comment: I don't know if you've seen Avengers Endgame, but the writers of that *clearly* took inspiration from BTTF 2. They had the characters revisit scenes from past movies, showing previous events from new points of view (and triggering nostalgia for the audience in the process). Also, in both movies the characters were after a Macguffin. (A magic cube, vs a sports almanac) And in both movies the main characters nearly succeed in attaining it, only to lose it when a character from the past (Hulk vs 1955 Marty) opens a door too violently, knocking the Macguffin away.

Yes, plus Alan Silvestri also composed The Avengers music score.

Doc went to the "Rejuvenation Clinic" so that Christopher Lloyd wouldn't have to put the Old Man Doc makeup on every day of filming.

For another solid 80s movie, I'd like to recommend Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The effects are really impressive, and it's a good time.

Practical effects, too. It was a crowning achievement in cinematic history. You'll never see anything like it again.

The chemistry between Doc & Marty is legendary. BTTF Part 2 2015 looks weird now but not in 1989. Also Part 2 is the biggest source of BTTF merch.
