As a parallel to Biff grifting on George.

[@Tricia_Guima]

Griff tried to do to Marty Jr, what his grandfather Biff did to Marty's uncle (Uncle Joey) when he had Joey rob Doc's mom's house. This is told in the comics

[@Rhodair]

"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.

[@no1guy825]

i always attributed Griff as the logical conclusion of Biff breeding. The kid was psychotic....how do you think he made kids? We already know he was down with....rape. Biff's genes are the type that shouldn' t continue. This is the result.....generations that eventually can't even hide it.

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.

With the advantage of hindsight I think there's a bunch of warning signs. At 18:10 in the video where's he saying "Nobody calls me chicken" looks at how his left eye and the left part of his face twitches. I think people maybe assumed it was just a part of his character but that wasn't acting, he probably just didn't notice it.

Griff had bionic implants, so he was also probably all hopped up on futuristic stimulants of some sort.

[@wubranch1]

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.

[@stackels97]

Oh wow, that's such a great point about Marty not being raised by confident George. I hadn't thought of that before. That would totally explain why he was still having issues with being called a coward.

[@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]

did you see the real shooting star in jaws

[@StreetHierarchy]

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

[@mickeygarlock4611]

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.

[@mtclifton]

Fun Fact(s) - Biffs car in 1955 has a rear view mirror in scenes where it is convenient and it is absent in scenes where it mucks up the plot. - Movie 2 and 3 were written and filmed at the same time. - The timeframe for 1955 from movie 1 and 1955 from movie two are synced up in length of the overlapping scenes. Like the Enchantment under the Sea dance runs as a mirror. - The Cubs won the World Series 1 year off of this movie's prediction/

I mean kids don't turn their pockets inside out...but what about that stupid pulling of pants down so that you can see their underwear...wtf is that about.

[@yuothineyesasian]

The scene I've always wanted to see is when Doc and Marty first meet. Doc knows that he and Marty are going to go on the greatest set of adventures any humans have ever gone on. How does he act when he meets this kid knowing all that. I think he probably built the giant speaker from the first film knowing Marty would think it's cool as hell. 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.

[@StCerberusEngel]

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.

[@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.

[@hemichanga8939]

BTTF II and Ghostbusters II both came out in 1989, and had a very cartoony feel compared to the more serious tone of the originals.

There are many things BTTF 2 almost perfectly predicted would happen by 2015. Flat screen tvs, biometric and voice controlled devices, 80s nostalgia themed restaurants, hover boards and flying cars do technically exist, but not in the same context of the movie. While the Cubs did make it to the pennant in 2015, they did not win the World Series. The following year they finally won the World Series ending their 108 year long loss. It really is amazing just how close this movie was to accurately predicting events of 2015. Fun Fact "Jaws 19" credits Max Spielberg as the director of the movie. He is the real son of Steven Spielberg. A plush doll of Rodger Rabbit can be seen in the 80s store display above the tv. Robert Zemeckis also directed "Who Framed Rodger Rabbit"

I find it kinda sad that they didn't do a semi-reboot where Doc's sons return to 2015 only to discover that Marty has disappeared (because you'd need to limit MJF's screen time) and Doc doesn't remember him (and maybe he's a bit of a mess due to not having Marty there to assist) so they have to go back in time to 1985 to correct the problem. 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).

They kind of gave us a window into that “ over the top “ future when they introduced the addition of “Mr. Fusion” on the back of the DeLorean in the first film. A joke on the Mr. coffee brand coffee machines from the 80’s. So that over the top future kinda made sense to me. I remember those old Java makers so when I saw Mr. fusion back then I thought that was wild. In this movie they really show you the possible paradoxes that can happen when fiddling with time. And the series really needed that considering it’s not the first time travel story but it’s one of the main time travel stories we all remember. Oh and ~no spoilers~ you find out more about the chicken thing and I can’t wait to hear what you have to say about it.

[@stargazer1682]

The 2015 they showed is definitely _not_ the future from the alt-1985 (often called the "Hell Valley" timeline), because George is alive in that 2015, but was not alive in alt-1985. The production reason was that the film makers felt that no matter how accurate anyone tries to make the future, they always get it wrong, either overestimating or wildly underestimating the future; so they decided to go for broke and be as wrong about the future as they possibly could and just have fun with it. In continuity, I'd argue that 2015 hadn't finished "baking" yet, if you consider the implications of time travel and the "ripple effect"; and even 1985 is arguably still in flux. It takes time, so to speak, for changes to take hold across time. In the first movie, Marty is in 1955 and it takes week for the effects of the changes he made to his parents' relationship to catch up to his conception and birth, with his other sibling slowly being erased over that time; it's not immediate, which of course is how he can fix things. During that first movie, during that week in the past, he's unfolded a brand new, tangent timeline of its own, subsequently making additional changes to history in response; which in turn slowly ripple their way through history. So in getting George and Lorraine together, he's now created yet another timeline (the first is the original, where his family had a crappy life and he goes back in time, the second being where his parents wouldn't get together and never be born; and third is when he proactively gets them together and they have a happy life together). He sets this new timeline in motion, and instead staying in the past for another week as it unfolds, he immediately goes forward. It's plausible that while he sees some of the more immediate changes, like his family's prosperity, there were other ripples still making their way through time - like Jennifer. An in-story explanation for the change of actress between movies could be that, the changes Marty made had the inadvertent "butterfly effect" where a different iteration of Jennifer was conceived and grew up to date Marty. Much in the same way that, in this new timeline with a more confident George, Marty may have grown up with stories of his father's integrity and develop a complex where he doesn't want to be accused of being scared or not having the same conviction as his father. Now, like you point out, between getting back to 1985, going to 2015, returning to alt-1985 and going back to 1955, it's been maybe a day for Marty. If it took a week while Marty was in 1955 for changes he made to catch up to 1985, and if some of those changes were still in the works in 1985 upon Marty's return; how much of those changes would have translated to 2015 after 8 hours? As it is, the mere action of Doc taking Jennifer and Marty to 2015 is itself an alteration to that version of 2015; not only are they being removed from the timeline, as the rest of the movie and part III demonstrate, that action yields its own tangent result in Marty's behavior at least. Probably the only reason Marty and Jennifer still exist in 2015 is that the change Doc made by taking them to the future hadn't caught up to 2015 yet; which also arguably means that some of the changes still catching up to 1985 hadn't reached 2015 yet either. Some, yes, but not all; it's still in flux.

[@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.

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.

[@TumultuousM]

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.
