To tell you some stuff, Jennifer was recast thats why they reshot the intro. And at the time they didn't know they were gonna make a sequel and they said if they knew, they wouldn't have put Jennifer in the car. The ending was just to imply that they go on to have many adventures together

[@Moviefan2k4]

Yes, Claudia Wells' mother was very sick at the time this was being cast, and she chose to make her family more of a priority. She has since said she never regretted that decision, but as a viewer it was still strange to see another actress in her costume. Personally, I think Elisabeth Shue is talented, but they should've gone with someone who resembled Claudia more closely; the difference is a bit jarring.

One outlandish prediction they made was almost spot-on: They predicted the Chicago Cubs would win the World Series after a 70 year drought, ending the curse of the billy goat once and for all. In reality, they did win and end that drought… in *2016.* They were off by one year!

[@0okamino]

Another correct prediction, but less outlandish, was that Miami would have a MLB team in the future. That happened in 1993, though it’s the Marlins rather than the Gators (which was already the sports mascot for UF Gainesville). However, the Cubs won against Cleveland instead.

Michael J. Fox looks so young in these movies, but fun fact: he was actually married with a newborn son while filming. He was also in 2 30-minute sitcom shows, “Family Ties” and “Spin City.” He would actually film “Family Ties” in the morning and then the BTTF movies at night. He was very busy during these times.

He also started having Parkinson's symptoms while filming the second/third installments. And I think him and Lea Thompson were the same age despite her playing his mother.

[@stephiis8882]

They re-filmed the beginning because they re-cast Jennifer. And they ended the first movie with Doc coming back to bring Marty to the future as a joke. They had no plans for a sequel. But the movie made so much money that the studio forced them into making one, and they were kinda stuck with working in the joke ending into the story, which is why they bring Jennifer with them with her really having no real purpose for being there. They didn't even really want to do the future in the first place either. And since they figured they'd never get the future correct, they decided to have fun with it moreso than actually making it what they predicted it might be like.

NONE of this works without an antagonist that's believable and actually makes you afraid. Tom does this. I'm not sure how many actors could do the job he did, and he NAILED it.

25:26 Great question! The answer to why “Old Biff” returned to the unchanged 2015 after his trip to the 1955 instead of an alternate version is… just enjoy the movie! 😂 Incidentally, right after Biff collapses to the ground the scene was cut, but they originally had him vanishing from the timeline, so the writers were aware of the plot hole and tried to fill it, but ultimately they decided it was still flawed so they just ignored it in the final edit.

It's impossible to make time travel movies without paradoxes, because the concept itself is inherently nonsensical.

It is my pet theory that Marty's susceptibility to being called a coward is something that happened after he changed his parents' parenting style in the first movie. At the end, he tells George and Lorraine to be nice to their kid if they set the living room rug on fire. We can also see at the end of BttF1 that at 17, Marty already has got his dream truck. In other, he spoiled himself and gave himself the character flaw of reacting so bad to being provoked. It's just a theory I have, but I like it

[@jessecortez9449]

Honestly, that's a pretty good theory. I've always heard that it was just necessary for sequels because Marty needed to have personal character growth so the audience could get more invested in the journey. In the first movie, that had no sequels planned, he had no obvious character flaws to overcome so it was just the adventure of time travel and the mess up he cause with his parents he had to correct. Even Doc gets a bit of character growth in regards to that other great mystery being women.

Original Jennifer actor, Claudia Wells, was unavailable for the two sequels (which were filmed back-to-back) due to her mom being gravely ill with breast cancer. 80's movie staple Elizabeth Shue stepped in to take her place. George McFly was also recast due to Crispin Glover not returning because of low salary. This is why the actor who took the role is only seen upside-down and in heavy old age makeup or seen from a distance. Crispin Glover actually successfully sued the studio because they used a live-cast of his face made for the first movie to create the prosthetics used on the actor in the sequel. He was literally wearing a copy of Crispin Glover's face.

An interesting note to mention, George McFly’s actor (Crispin Glover) had… “complications” with the studio by wanting more money for the role of George McFly. The studio refused and Glover was kicked off the cast. The person playing Old George was a completely different actor. Notice how all the shots of George McFly (mainly with his face in view) in this film are actually just re-used shots of George from the first film. All other shots with George were played by another actor with either heavy makeup or long-distance shots so we don’t see his face clearly.

[@jinxatron]

Even worse, apparently they got in legal troubles because they used Crispin Glovers facecast to make "A Crispin Glover" face kit for the actor, but it didn't look great so that's why they choose to have him upside down in that rig.

Here's some fun facts: Parts II & III were originally written as one movie but obviously it was too long. Interestingly, the initial ending for the first one, before the big re-write and re-cast, had Marty returning to a 1985 that had flying cars. This was back when Eric was Marty and generally the ending was a rather despairing endnote. George's actor did not return for the sequels; his character's appearances are played by his stunt actor wearing a skin mask of him. Not a fact, but I'm pretty sure the dark 1985 _is_ a paradox because the sports Almanac is brought from 2015 to 1955 where Biff gets rich by dark 1985 but Doc Brown is committed so the time machine is never invented meaning old Biff never goes back to 1955. Or the events in one timeline can be the origin for events in a newer timeline. Such as the time machine being invented in light 1985 but not being invented in dark 1985 yet still having the light 1985's delorean exist within dark 1985.

The first one was intended to be a stand-alone movie, but 2 and 3 was filmed together and ties together beautifully.

[@ShadeKetchum]

To be clear, an official comic continuation written by one of the films lead writers implies that the alternate timelines don't just disappear. They still exist, it's just that Marty's and Doc's actions (and Biff's in this film) are determining what is considered the "main" timeline. Which makes sense, considering Marty saw an alternate version of himself in the new main timeline at the end of the first film, something which causes him a bit of an existential crisis in the comics at the thought of basically "replacing" a version of himself into a life he doesn't recognize, especially considering that version of him never came back from time traveling. In short, the time travel rules are mostly the same. They're just simpler.

So to have this trilogy with the cocoa couch is uplifting my spirits and thank you for sharing this experience with us, can’t wait to see what you think of the Wild West 🤠

[@kaylapounds1359]

It is honestly one of the best trilogies. I was watching the reactions to LOTR, but saw this and had to watch.

[@Laurie473]

Kudos mate..., I've never seen a reactor catch the '1885' time circuit glitch when the delorean snags the bunting on the Lyon's Estate sign..., well done !! 🤩

[@ImagineMySurprise510]

A deleted moment but was filmed was just after old Biff looked like he was having a heart attack after coming back from 1955. What then happened was the change to the timeline caught up with him and Biff was in pain and then disappeared like dust since in this timeline he didn't exist as that version of Biff anymore. It was actually a very heart wrenching scene played well and caused one to almost feel sorry for old Biff.

[@zikkeboi]

How are you so observant?? It continuously surprises me how many little details etc. you manage to notice on your first viewing of things.

[@MrMinoDan]

Concerning @25:25 It did affect 2015. Old Biff was not having a heart attack. He was starting to dissolve just like Marty in the first movie since his younger self was shot and killed by Lorraine in the 90s. Sadly that stuff was cut from the movie for time. As for the rest of 2015 being unaffacted....the first movie made a point that the Ripple Effect takes some time to rewrite history or for the present/future to "catch up" with changes.

[@JohnRandomness105]

Actually, the scene with Old Biff vanishing wasn't cut for time, but rather because it lost the audience in a sneak preview. I prefer it this way, where we interpret that the final time travel was just too much for his heart.

[@bettrhalf8006]

This is one of those rare examples where a hit movie spawned sequels... that *worked*. I know some people would disagree as there are varying opinions about each, but I've always loved each movie equally. They're all fun in their own way. And I think that comes down to the fact that they put an entire story in each movie. It wasn't "let's write something that will answer nothing and just force them to watch the next episode to get any answers - and then rinse and repeat indefinitely!" No, it was "let's write a funny, fun, compelling story, and THEN let's leave them wanting more at the end." I'm so glad you're enjoying these! Looking forward to sitting down to your reaction to 3 later today!

[@CarnivoreDan]

kudos, you spotted Elijah! My fav movie of all time

[@johnallen6665]

Great reaction!! Your grasp of this version of time travel It trips up a lot of people! An official book printed after the release of BttF III confirms this, which I'll link in a comment in the next video as to avoid spoilers. I also appreciate your observation about Biff's home life since that tends to go unnoticed. Bob Gale, who wrote the story for the official TellTale follow-up game, spotlights the impact of Biff's absent mother and imprisoned father. Also you're right on with them not wanting to actually predict the future; just having fun with it. Sorry this is already long but this has been my favorite reaction to this movie amongst the many that I have seen; thank you! I know this is already long, but to answer some questions... The 99 was supposed to be fire-trail made by the Delorean spinning in-place a rolled up version of what is normally a straight length on the ground. Good call on Biff, upon return to 2015, having a heart attack, brought on by his own actions, specifically breaking his cane and hitting himself. There was more to that scene originally which shows him slump over sideways and then fade out and disappear. The thinking was that somebody, likely Lorraine, would have eventually shot and killed Biff at some point before 2015, so he didn't exist there. Test audiences were confused by it playing out that way without further explanation so they decided to cut it short, but still wanted to at least hint at his going back ultimately resulted to his early death, one way or another. Again, great reaction; can't wait for the next one!!

[@pointlessrelic5589]

I was 8 when I first saw this movie. I had no idea Michael J. Fox was playing the daughter 😆

[@trekkiejunk]

The original was supposed to be the only film. The extreme popularity of the film meant the studio demanded sequels. Director Bob Zemeckis, and writer Bob Gale refused. The studio said they would do it without them then. In order to not tarnish the legacy of the original, the Bobs agreed to do two sequels under 2 conditions: They would film the sequels simultaneously, and the Bobs would have the right of refusal to any future BTTF projects. Since they have staunchly refused to ever do more BTTF, that's why there have never been any more sequels and reboots. May the Bobs live to 150!

[@christophert91]

I have watched all three movies so many times now and i still love to rewatch them every time

[@TeenoMotz]

FINALLY, my FAVE of the trilogy, I've been waiting all week for this! 💖

[@emotionalideas]

Gald you liked it cause it was a blast to work on...as YOU CAN SEE BY MY PROFILE PICT LOL!

[@Indego84]

Telltale made a Back to the Future video that’s meant to be a sequel to the movies. In it, it explains that Biff’s dad was a bootlegger who went to prison because Marty’s grandfather ratted him out to the feds.

The one who played Jennifer in this BTTF2 is Elizabeth Shue she was great in 🎥🎞Adventures in Babysitting (1987)

[@mindib5878]

Fun fact: rich Biff was modeled after Trump. Yes, that Trump.

[@christopherb501]

Even in the 80s he was recognized as a total disaster. A pity more Gen-X moviegoers didn't get the point.

[@Samstone7Riva]

@mindib5878 @christopherb501 really? look at Biden laundering all that money through Ukraine being like Biff and admittedly said there's going to be no help for Ashville while Trump is helping out. This is contradictory in terms to your comments.

[@The2realistic]

Ironically, Bad Biff is really the anti-Trump.

[@3rdjrh]

Noticing the subtle differences of the line deliveries, but not noticing the completely different actress for Jennifer 😂

[@williamjones6031]

1. It's not often sequels hold up to the original, but this does. Thank you 1980s. 2.IMVHO this one is the best of the trifecta. The next one is inventive but I'm not really into the story. That said, it is the perfect wrap.🤩 3. The stunt woman that flew into the glass window partially missed and injured herself badly. 4. Yes, Michael J. Fox also played Marty's daughter. 5. Sammy Hagar, "I can't drive 55"😎 6. The tunnel at the end is the same one they used for Tune Town in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit

[@ismaelvargas-osiris6108]

When Old Biff changes the 1985 past, the 2015 future is not immediately affected because of the Ripple effect. The timeline is like a huge lake and every event is like a drop of water creating waves: the changes are little at the beginning but they become bigger and bigger as time goes by. That's why Marty didn't disappear immediately when he changed his parents'past.

[@Paul77ozee]

I think the Delorean was out of time and shielded old biff when he returned to 2015. In the deleted scene he vanishes after exiting the Delorean.

[@ismaelvargas-osiris6108]

@@Paul77ozee He vanishes because of the Ripple effect. Lorraine from the new 1985 sh00t him so he disappears from this future as soon as the wave of change gets him.

[@Paul77ozee]

@@ismaelvargas-osiris6108 l know mate. I was just pointing out that he didn’t disappear until he left the Delorean. My theory is the Time Machine is out of sync with time and anything inside is immune from change. The only thing stopping that theory is that Doc looked at the news paper changing while flying above Marty in the Delorean.

[@Keyboardje]

The real joke about Jaws 19 and Marty saying that the shark still looks fake is actually that Steven Spielberg directed Jaws AND he was executive producer of Back to the Future, so the joke is practically on himself. :D

[@aredub1847]

oh you never heard of "spiking the punch?"

[@dennisonvlee2999]

Can't wait to see you watch the third video. And yes, it did not make sense that Jennifer was with them going to the future, but as others have said here, they did not expect to create sequels. I do like that they took the fact and worked with it, making it so that Doc having to knock her out with the device is the reason why Marty's son wasn't sedated enough and still entered the cafe.

[@TheGreatestActor]

Fun fact about Elijah Wood is that this was his first on screen appearance in anything he hasn't been on television or on the TV or he hasn't even gone public yet this was his first public appearance on this movie.

[@MKJR_]

Thank you for filming/editing even while sick! Feel better soon!

[@kiolseemore8880]

I have been binging your channel recently, and I just wanted to say that I love your reactions! Your videos are so wholesome and genuine, it always makes me smile. I am sure you have many movies you plan on watching already, but if you need more, I would recommend “The Last Unicorn” and “Robots.” They are both animated movies that are incredibly well done. “The Last Unicorn” in particular is one of my absolute favorites, it has so much emotion and feeling that I can’t accurately put into words.

[@benspratling9041]

It only now occurs to me (after loving this movie since it came out) that the burning of the almanac may have created the temporal paradox which creates the storm. That coupled with all the time traveling from 3 time periods……. They may have created the weather anomaly they were looking for!

[@benspratling9041]

This is in part a realization I had while watching the reaction video, and for those who didn’t catch it, also a reference to the ST TNG “all good things”.

[@overdev1993]

the back to the future game from telltale is btw a great continuation of the story after the third movie :)

[@yaroslavpanych2067]

Yes Yes Yes

[@tulinfirenze1990]

43:55 I thought it was "99" as well when I first saw it. It's actually the Delorean's fire trail - like the fire it left in the Twin Pines Mall car park when it went through time in the first movie.

[@lesliedaubert1411]

The guy who plays Needles is Flea from the band The Red Hot Chillie Peppers.

[@JohnSmith-bn9sw]

I'm sure someone else commented this already on the first one, but in case it isnt obvious, Doc and Marty are the inspiration for Rick and Morty lol

[@CheeseNacho_]

i've always loved how the predictions they did for the future in this movie were all improvements on the technology they already had in 1985, but no new technology at all, so no cellphones, no internet, ...no crashing economy i guess but it's a little detail i love to point out cause it's pretty interesting to me

[@Imaginationdiva016]

Back To The Future taught me about the butterfly effect, I used to hear it here and there as a kid, but after this movie it made me want to do more research on it -- and huzzah, I learned something new :D Can't wait for your reaction of the third movie, Oscar!

[@tulinfirenze1990]

Thomas F. Wilson who played Biff is a fan favourite at conventions and by all accounts is such a nice, warm and very funny man. He said he actually found it difficult performing the car scene where Biff sexually assaults Lorraine in the first movie, as it was so far against his own nature. He was actually picked on by bullies in school and channeled a lot of their behaviours in playing Biff.

[@amyg4961]

He also created a great song about his experiences with this movie and its fans and performs it during standup sometimes. It’s here on KZbin, look up Stop Asking Me the Question.

[@Jaden_The_Celestial]

Not sure if you noticed it, but Doc said he used up most of the sleep-inducer device on Jennifer when it was fully intended to knock out Marty’s son to keep him from entering the Cafe 80s. That’s why he didn’t immediately knock her out shortly after going to the future.

[@tulinfirenze1990]

"It's a good thing it's Hollywood glass." Ironically, one of the women was seriously hurt while performing that stunt.

[@manon_0411]

The 3rd one is probably my personal favorite because it wraps up the series nicely with a nice little bow. I hope you'll enjoy it too!

[@Paul77ozee]

I never noticed this until now. Marty is lucky that the western union guy didn’t see the floating hoverboard on the side of the road. Marty ran off to town without it.

[@ITSAHARDNUGLIFE]

15:27 I mean we did that back in the day too...we had those phone sized Casio portable TVs with antennas. Computer and GameBoy or GameGear. Low volume on the video game on TV while blasting music. Great on ya for spotting Elijah Wood too.

The mechanic Terry is the same guy in the future that told Marty about putting money on the Cubs. He’s also the guy who talks for Roger Rabbit

[@tfrowlett8752]

I know so many people want flying cars to be a common thing, but unless they’re completely automated you need a lot of training and paperwork to own one. For example, to own a Taylor Aerocar and use it fully, you need a drivers and pilots license, it needs to be registered as a car and a plane, you need a radio operators license and medical certificate to be a pilot, and because it’s over 5m long when the wings are being towed behind it, in America you need a chauffeurs license, which needs another, different medical certificate.

[@benspratling9041]

Not to mention the insane fuel inefficiency of flying!

[@exalkalibor924]

Yes flight piloting is different than car driving. I'm happy we don't have them because we know if people aren't content driving 25 mph and goes 40 what can they do in flying cars. For all those road rages and car theives what more if we have flying cars.

[@thomasbaker2067]

And the 80's Adventures in Babysitting!

[@RedundantHuman-CandyBites]

They never intended in making a sequel. Zemeckis said they never had written Jennifer to be in that scene at the end of they had known. The makers of 2 definitely said they could not predict 2015, so they might as well be absurd with it.
