Thank you for watching so far everyone! Hope you all enjoy this reaction to the 3rd Back To The Future. We had a blast! Hope you enjoy watching with us and our discussion at the end. No-one's commented on the T-shirts yet ! x
How about reacting to 'Young Guns 1 and 2' next? Its all about Billy the Kid. Also, 'Young Guns 3' is in production at the moment and Young Guns fans can't wait for it after such a long break since 1 and 2. Keep up the great reaction guys. You make my week here in Melbourne, Australia 🙂
I'm amazed at how much the boy notices and predicts. The woman on the runnaway wagon is Clara, the gift that doc gives Marty is the framed photo. He even asked where is the hoverboard when they were hopping the train (which ends up being an important in the train squence). I was about his age when this movie came out and I wasn't able to follow that closely.
I was going to comment on the t shirts as I was the one who originally said you two should dress as doc and marty. I definitely noticed and thought "cool!"
BILL and TED's EXCELLENT ADVENTURE 1989. 2 highschool buddies travel through time in order to pass their history class so that their band won't break up. Riding off the audience' interest in time traveling, adventure films, this one is a classic with great charm and wonderfull mesages. But really, I love hearing what your son thinks of the films we grew up watching at his age. You both are great. I really appreciate how thoughtfull you are when encouraging him to understand the technical and cultural achievements with these films as they can get lost on someone with a limited cinematic bearing. Films were changing so rapidly back then. It was like, a classic film every few weeks or so. Really a marvel to think about. GREAT SHIRTS btw! Ha!
I saw this in the theater in 1990. The end blew us all away! Another note: Back to the Future (1) may have been the first time I ever watched a VCR. When we were in elementary school, we used to insult each other, saying "Hello! McFly!"
No matter how many times I watch these films, I always catch something new. When Doc says to Marty, "Remember, where you’re going, there are no roads." It’s surely a call-back to when Doc says, "Where we’re going we don’t need roads.” Lot’s of call backs. A sign of brilliant writing. Kind of reminds me of The Big Lebowski. If you pay close attention, call backs are used all throughout that film as well.
The Frisbee pie company actually did invent the Frisbee toy. Some of the men in the saloon were actors from other Western movies. They wouldn't screw up the space time if they took Clara with them since she was meant to die in 1885 anyway.
No, the Frisbie Pie Company made pies and pie tins. Employees and college students threw the tins around as a toy, but Frisbie never marketed the tin as a toy. The toy we know came from Wham-O in the 50s and was _inspired_ by the pie tins.
Tom Wilson (Biff/Griff/Mad Dog) made a documentary-style video for his TH-cam channel, which is called "Humbly Super Famous". It's a great watch and you get to see Tom attend events and talk about being famous, but not as famous as other actors, and how Back To The Future changed his whole world.
@@MichaelJShaffer I saw his stand up about 12 years ago at a comedy club. I enjoyed it. After the show he gladly talked to fans and took photos. I mentioned how much I enjoyed Freaks and Geeks and how it wished it had a 2nd season.
Michael J. Fox was accidentally choked unconscious during the hanging scene. When Doc stood up Clara at the train station so she had to find alternate transportation, she rented that buckboard. While Doc is inquiring of the conductor about the locomotive's highest speed, you can see Clara in the background waiting to be picked up. A deleted scene shows the marshal dying in his son's arms after Buford shot him in the back.
You would not have seen it yet ( and you may not ever ) but as Marty is being sent back to 1885, Doc shouts out "vaya con dios!" while firing the pistol. This is a direct reference to a moment in the the Spielberg film "1941". The three saloon old-timers are Dub Taylor, Harry Carey Jr. and Pat Buttram who collectively had about 150 years of experience in film and television - including westerns. ( And the man with the barbed wire does begin by saying he peddles it for a living. )
How did I not realize it until now? Mary Steenburgern was in a movie ('Time After Time') in which H.G. Wells time-traveled from 1893 to 1979, where he met and fell in love with her character. Her casting here was in part a callback to that earlier role. Never made the connection until this moment.
So Biff was Miffed at Doc creating Beef that Biff just couldn't contain resulting in Biff and Doc's beef ending in a bit of a tiff. God I love this movie.
12:00 Fun fact: When Marty comments his "Wild West" clothes with "Clint Eastwood never wore anything like this", the movie posters on the wall show "Revenge of the Creature" and "Tarantula"... two 1955 monster/horror movies in which a young actor had his first minor parts... Clint Eastwood.
The hanging scene.. they really did hang Michael J Fox (by accident of course). Michael has said..When I went unconscious Zemekis was like even you arent that good of an actor and realized something was wrong.
Tom Wilson played 7 characters in total: 1885 Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen 1955 Biff Tannen (the bully) 1985 Biff Tannen (still the bully) 1985A Biff Tannen (the nice guy) 1985B Biff Tannen (the corrupt guy) 2015 Biff Tannen (future version of the nice guy) 2015 Griff Tannen (Biff's grandson) Michael J Fox played 5 characters in total: 1885 Seamus McFly 1985 Marty McFly (throughout the trilogy) 2015 Marty McFly 2015 Marty McFly Jr 2015 Marlene McFly
when your son said "he invented the frisbee" it is also a call back to Alternate 1985 evil powerful biff where marty throws a similar object to throw at biff when he is firing shots at him
Oh yes! And the guy selling the gun in Part 3 remarks baby hands.. like the arcade game in Part 2 where the kids calls the game a baby toy for using his hands
@@GenerationMediaReaction oh yeah. that too! i just love the attention to detail. also how all 3 movies are techinally 1 8 hour movie since part 2 starts 90 seconds rewind from the end of the first and same thing with 2-3
The vast majority of the Clock Tower finale footage used in the sequels was simply re-purposed from the first film. The main reasons were that filming everything all over again would've cost a ton, been too difficult, and essentially looked the same anyway. As such, Robert Zemeckis simply chose to port over what had already been done. The only thing changed was Marty running to greet Doc after the original DeLorean disappeared, which was not in the first film. When the third film was made, Zemeckis simply re-used that as well. As for the trilogy's story not being entirely of the same quality, there's a very important reason: when the first film was made, no sequels were ever intended or planned. Zemeckis & Gale wrote it as a standalone project; the ending about Marty & Jennifer's kids was meant as a joke. But when the movie earned over $388 million on a $19 million budget, the Universal executives insisted on making another one, whether the creators agreed or not. So to keep the studio from screwing it all up, the "two Bobs" agreed to participate, on the sole stipulation that both Michael J. Fox and Chris Lloyd said yes as well. After that, it was just a matter of getting everyone else...and the only holdout was Crispin Glover, so they wrote the "dead George McFly" story to account for most of the character's absence. The few moments where George does appear in the sequels, were accomplished in two primary ways. First, an actor named Jeffrey Weissman was cast in the role, and they put makeup on him originally created from molds of Crispin's face to complete the illusion. It still wasn't a total match though, so they mostly kept Jeffrey in the distance, out of focus, or shot him from behind. It was also Jeffrey who played the 2015 version of George, being hung upside down. To fill in the few remaining gaps, they used a very small amount of existing footage from the first film, which even fooled some of Crispin's friends into thinking he'd resumed the role. He eventually sued Universal and won, leading to new rules about filmmakers now being legally required to obtain an actor's consent, before using their likeness.
Nice reaction! Nice t-shirts as well! Haha I actually have a t-shirt with Biff's face, and it says "Say hi to your mom for me!". The actor who plays Biff is hilarious, he's a comedian and a musician!
One thing that ppl often miss is that Marty's bullet-proof armor idea comes from an actual clint Eastwood movie. I believe Rich Biff is watching this scene in the hot tub when Marty comes to confront him about the sports almanac.
Back To The Future is definitely where the inspiration for Rick and Morty comes from. Another great review! I could tell your son genuinely got a kick out of the trilogy, too. I realize you have a load of suggestions for movies to review, but thinking about Christopher Lloyd films I have another one: "The Addams Family" films.
You have a great channel and I love the father and son relationship. If you want more viewers giving "thumbs up" consider making the movie window larger and the window of you smaller.
Star Wars was a trilogy, but other films were made that (for some) tarnished its legacy/reputation. There are other movie franchise examples, of course. But, I appreciate how cleanly and concisely the three BTTF films were made: Excellent work on each one, no decision made to potentially dilute the experience, then leaving the audience wanting more. Brilliant.
I wish there was a movie marathon where you could take your son to see all 3 at the cinema. They did this with Starwars in the late late 90's. This movie really looks brilliant on a big screen.
16:53 Biff was watching Clint Eastwood and impressed with his bulletproof vest in the hot tub with the girls in Part 2 to set up the whole Clint Eastwood angle of Part 3. The real Clint LOVED his involvement in Back to the Future. Your son could just rewatch that scene to learn about him. Also, when Marty was getting into the DeLorean at the Drive in-, there were 2 posters of Clint in his 1st movies on the wall
Clara was suppose to die (Clara's Ravine) so he fixed that issue by keeping her outside of time & it was sweet he went back to his present to get his dog Einstein. The 1955 Doc's dog was named after an earlier scientist "Copernicus".
In the second movie, we saw billionaire Biff watching A Fistful of Dollars with Clint Eastwood. The final duel between Marty and Mad Dog was a recreation of the duel from that movie, including the metal plate hidden under his clothes. The scene where Marty enters the town, where the camera is raised up and reveals the whole town with Marty at the bottom, is a recreation of a scene from another western by the same director, Sergio Leone: Once Upon a Time in the West. Clint Eastwood isn't in that one, though. Maybe completely irrelevant, but having mentioned A Fistful of Dollars, I think I should also mention that it's really a remake of Yojimbo, a samurai film by Akira Kurosawa. The duel is in that one, too, although there it's a gun versus a samurai sword.
Awesome reaction videos of the Back To The Future trilogy! 👍 Wonder how much HG Wells actually inspired details for Parts 2 and 3. Where did writer/director Zemeckis get the idea for a steam engine, mine, alternate timeline, and the names Griff and Clara? In 1886 HG Wells lived a few miles from Nuneaton England and may have heard rumor of time travelers. In the early 1700s one of the first steam engines was constructed for Griff Colliery in Nuneaton to pump mine water. In 1895 Griff Colliery opened the Griff Clara Mine and that mine closed in 1955. Perhaps in an alternate timeline, Griff Tannen also stole the DeLorean going back to 1885 to meet Mad Dog. Griff intercepted Clara before she could arrive and meet Doc, taking her to England. Griff muscled in on the Griff Colliery (it did have his name). To ensure Clara stayed in England they opened the Griff Clara Mine in 1895. Maybe HG Wells heard rumor of these time travelers, inspiring his novel "The Time Machine" and Zemeckis read Well's notes. Because Doc and Marty set all the timelines right in Parts 1, 2, and 3, the Griff Clara mine had to close in 1955. (or I have a crazy imagination)
What a trip! 😁 Throroughly enjoyed these BTTF reactions. I was looking forward to watching this video tonight ...after a hectic day. LOVE the t-shirts 😄👌
There will not ever be a Back To The Future 4 or a reboot of the series. The creator and producer have stipulated that they will not approve of anything in their lifetime. And to be honest, good for them. Hollywood has this tendency to want to keep making things so they have like 50 parts or they want to reboot it. These movies are classics. They are perfect the way they are. We don’t need to keep messing with them. Sometimes going after something and trying to create more or re-create you’re just diminishing it. If you love these movies, just enjoy them, watch them over and over. We don’t need to mess with them though.
That guy at the bar had a barbed wire sample. There are lots of kinds of barbed wire. This was a time around the great land rush when the U.S. government was literally giving land away. People could stake their claim and many fenced off their property with barbed wire - to keep people out, and to keep their livestock in.
@@GenerationMediaReactionalso, the locomotive made travel across the country possible, making wagons basically obsolete for long distance travel, and barbed wire is what killed the cowboy. Cowboys ran cattle drives, they kept the cattle in check and would "drive" then from water to grass fields and keep them from running away. Barbed wire made fences cheap and easier than employing cowboys and trains could be used to take them to market and slaughter. There was a lot of thought into all of this.
Not sure if you remember, but the end scene with the bullet proof vest is an actual scene of a clint eastwood movie that was playing in back to the future 2. Biff was watching it on tv
American Indian, Indian, Native American, Indigenous, or Native are all acceptable to use. Ideally it's preferred to use their specific tribal names where possible. So saying _Indian_ is not a faux pas.
"I'm surprised they didn't make Back to the Future 4." Well, there is MORE Back to the Future media that's additional to the movie. First, there's the Back to the Future Universal Studios ride. Second, there's the Back to the Future cartoon series. Third, there's the Back to the Future TellTale video game. There's a reason they didn't make a direct 4th film was because it did everything it could with the theme of time travel. It's a dangerous thing to toy around with. In fact, the end of the first Back to the Future breaks the whole idea of the time stream and gets into multiverse theory. Think about it. Doc goes back to 1985 to get Marty to help him with an event that concerns his children in 2015. The problem is, since Doc took them out of 1985 they would've been out of time with Doc going to 2015. Meaning, they both would've gone missing for 30 years. No doubles of Marty or Jennifer would suddenly manifest. Much like the first demonstration of time travel showed the dog Einstein time traveled a full minute into the future, the dog and the Delorean simply went missing for 1 minute. The 2015 future would not have Marty or Jennifer in it all since Doc took them both out of time with him. Meaning he would've took them both to an alternate Future where they both went missing for 30 years. The only way Doc could take them back to the same version of 2015 that he saw with their children's crisis was IF the time machine could go back to that very VERSION of 2015. Meaning the Time Machine went back to an alternate dimension/universe future version where Marty/Jennifer were still within the timeline to get married and have a family. Which is a thing Doc says they can't do later in the alternate 1985, because it would've remained the Biff alternate "Hell" version of 2015. They went as far as they could with the concept of time travel.
Ah... such a good trilogy. I love each movie, and its hard to really say which one is the best, they all compliment each other to make a cohesive whole story. Maybe I like the first one just a little more... Also, people kind of disregarded the 3rd one when it came out, but over time I think the popular opinion has shifted, and the 3rd one is much better regarded. Fun Fact: they made a Saturday morning cartoon of Back to the Future, that is a sequel to the 3rd movie. It mostly follows the adventures of Jules and Verne as they use the train to travel thru time and get up to various hijinks. All the characters are there, Marty, Doc, Clara, etc, but its focused on Jules and Verne for the most part.
Oh that was great guy's watched all 3 Someone got a bit speachless at the end lol Also dont forget Doc had the Hover board Tech to work with building a time machine train that ran on steam :)
For a comedy, this movie is actually quite accurate in showing how life was back then. I mean, its not a documentary, but there are details they got right. Water was drinkable, but they got it from wells and creeks, or if you had the money, you had a pump somewhere on your property or even in the house. But yes, it could be a bit discolored. There were traveling salesmen who went from town to town, door to door, selling all sorts of goods, including barbed wire. Believe it or not, gun control was a thing in the old West, and it didn't work any better than it does today, but that's an aside..... So yes, you could be asked to check your gun at a saloon or public event, or to leave it at home. Saloons were open 24/7. The better ones served breakfast and lunch. And they did indeed serve breakfast. You might want to check out Arizona Ghostriders if you want to learn more about life back then. It's one of my favorite channels.
The trick, if I'm remembering Mark Twain properly, was to pour the water, then wait and let it settle so you could drink the clean (sweet?) water at top once all the silt had settled to the bottom!
Go see Back to the Future the musical react to that. Have you ever took your son out to a musical have you seen what a play is like it's similar to a movie but it's like in person. Not on screen. Back to the Future the musical was the first musical you should show your kid. If you already seen musical plays in the past this is still good. People who never even seen the movies would go into the musical not knowing anything and still love it. The musical invites those who haven't seen it to go watch the movies and for those who have it's just a little love letter. I've seen it myself and it holds up just as good as the original movie did. As you said it's done pretty well the second and third one don't hit quite the same ranks but they're good. Musical does hit the same rank as the original film though. I would say the musical hits top notch. I hear some say it's just as good as the first film and some say it's even better than the movie. I personally still put number one as my favorite but I think the musical is higher than the second and third. It's worth watching and it's worth the money. Great Scott. they do put a real time machine on stage and they make the car fly on stage no movie magic no CGI it really flies. They do a lot of other tricks that I won't spoil you. Is much realistic in magical as it is there is still restrictions that the film broke that the musical can't. Like we can't have Marty's skateboard on stage that's a little too dangerous for the actor. So they cut the skateboard thing out but they replace it with something just as good. All right no more spoilers go check the musical out.
With so many references to Jules Verne in this film, I'm going to recommend Journey to the Centre of the Earth. You can do a double bill original vs remake like King Kong, with the 1959 version, and 2008 remake. The remake is very Indiana Jones-esque, with Brendan Fraser playing a science teacher/volcanologist, and Josh Hutcherson (of Hunger Games and Bridge to Terebithia) as his nephew. There are homages to Indiana Jones, and they've found a great premise to update the film. Its only 90 mins, and was in 3D at the movies so the CGI can look a bit computer game, but I didn't mind because it was inventive and imaginative and I was invested in the story. There's a sequel to that too - Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012) starring The Rock as Josh's stepdad. Both films are fun and have a great father/son theme.
My movie selections include : Sneakers The Entertainer Gattaca These movies you really need to pay attention to detail... I think you would really enjoy them..
Lazy neat facts. DOCS bandana are the remains of his shirt he wore in part 2 that had a cowboys and Indians theme on it. And the trrain wad a one third size mini. Very well done
Yay!!! What a fantastic way to end this epic trilogy, this came out when I was in 1st grade and it made love westerns, my dad and i would watch John Wayne and Clint Eastwood westerns all the time. Thomas Wilson as Mad Dog was the best role in this 👏 Funny you mentioned the musical my family and I went 2 wks ago it was incredible!!!!!
"Of course it's erased!" "But what does that mean?" "It means your future hasn't been written yet. No one's has. Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one, both of you." Fun Fact: Clint Eastwood was asked for permission about his name being used for Marty (Michael J. Fox) in the film. He consented and was said to be tickled by the homage. Historical Fact: Marty (Michael J. Fox) uses a "Frisbie's" pie plate to knock a gun out of Mad Dog's (Tom Wilson) hand. In 1871, the Frisbie Pie Company started in Connecticut. Their pie pans were thrown on the campus of Yale, and this eventually lead to the invention of Frisbees. Music Enthusiast Fact: ZZ Top was asked to be the town band. During one take, the camera broke. While waiting for the camera to be repaired, Michael J. Fox asked if they would play Hey Good Lookin' (1951) by Hank Williams, which they did. Afterwards, more requests were played. Two hours later, someone inquired if the camera had been repaired. Robert Zemeckis replied that it had been fixed for quite a while, he just didn't want to stop the party that had evolved.
When this film was in production, they were trying to get Ronald Reagan to play the Hill Valley mayor. It would have made for a good follow-up from the first film when 1955 Doc asked Marty who the president was in 1985. It could have worked, considering Reagan had just finished up his last term in office in January 1989, and that he had spent a number of years as an actor in Hollywood before going into politics. However, although he was flattered to be asked, he wound up declining.
The cool thing about the ending also is that Doc traveling through time with his wife and kids doesn’t affect the space time continuum because he was supposed to die in 1985 by terrorists and she was supposed to die in 1885 and their kids should have never been born. So their absence won’t affect history in any way
15:00 you can refer to us, as a whole, as First Nations people. Indigenous. Our individual nations are a whole other field of knowledge. I'm Cree, my real name is P'askatchewan Nodin Kwe.. Paska to my friends. Pleased to meet you! xo
Thank you for this. Apologies for using the wrong term during the recording. Internally we did realise this but were influenced by the film’s old term. In the summary of the film at the end, we used the term Native Americans. Here in the UK are not up to speed with your preferred term, so thank you. May I ask, is Native American now considered old as well? (Ps we plan to watch Dances With Wolves soon)
@@GenerationMediaReaction yes, it’s an old term used. It’s always best to learn someone’s individual nation. xo 😘 wonderful reactions and I love your channel! I recommend watching Thunderheart… xo
1:03:12 Autre faux raccord volontaire laissé dans le film. On voit sur cette image qu'il n'y a que la locomotive, sans les wagons, quand on regarde l'ombre sur le mur.
22:23 Outre le Moonwalk, la partie audio laisse entendre un beatbox de "Beat it" et un cri final évoquant sans détour MJ., hommage certain rendu (à nouveau) au Roi de la Pop qui était partout sur tous les écrans du monde à ce moment-là. A nouveau parce que, bien sûr, il est déjà présent dans le deuxième volet de la trilogie.
I know Seamus was played by Michael J Fox...its just weird cos he reminds me of Eric Stoltz who was supposed to be Marty Mcfly. Eric got fired after a month of filming Back to the future, so the part went to Michael J Fox.
Unsure if told yet but a lot of the cast was happy to do a 4th, downside is the writers and think director was unsure how to make an even better one so left as 3 of them, the only chance we got on a 4th is after the writers and director to pass away as they did something to make sure no 4th as long as they live
I've always wanted to know why to this - Jennifer - i got this "you're fired" from the future but now it's been erased?" Doc - "of course it's been erased, it means your future hasn't been written yet...no-ones has" So why did they have to go to the future to change what his son Marty Mcfly Jr did in 2015 if it hasn't been written yet? 🤔 always baffled me.
Because of Docs experiences in time between going to 2015 and everything that happend since, his outlook is wiser and his life philosophy has changed. That's the advice coming from a Doc that has learned from his experiences
Thank you for watching so far everyone! Hope you all enjoy this reaction to the 3rd Back To The Future. We had a blast! Hope you enjoy watching with us and our discussion at the end. No-one's commented on the T-shirts yet ! x

Cool Frisbee loved that line.
I'm amazed at how much the boy notices and predicts. The woman on the runnaway wagon is Clara, the gift that doc gives Marty is the framed photo. He even asked where is the hoverboard when they were hopping the train (which ends up being an important in the train squence). I was about his age when this movie came out and I wasn't able to follow that closely.

BILL and TED's EXCELLENT ADVENTURE 1989.
2 highschool buddies travel through time in order to pass their history class so that their band won't break up.
Riding off the audience' interest in time traveling, adventure films, this one is a classic with great charm and wonderfull mesages.
But really, I love hearing what your son thinks of the films we grew up watching at his age. You both are great. I really appreciate how thoughtfull you are when encouraging him to understand the technical and cultural achievements with these films as they can get lost on someone with a limited cinematic bearing.

"Your future hasnt been written yet. No ones's has. Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one." Doc Brown
Unless Marty said it best and you turn into a**holes. 😎
No matter how many times I watch these films, I always catch something new.
When Doc says to Marty, "Remember, where you’re going, there are no roads."
It’s surely a call-back to when Doc says, "Where we’re going we don’t need roads.”
Lot’s of call backs. A sign of brilliant writing. Kind of reminds me of The Big Lebowski.
If you pay close attention, call backs are used all throughout that film as well.
The Frisbee pie company actually did invent the Frisbee toy. Some of the men in the saloon were actors from other Western movies. They wouldn't screw up the space time if they took Clara with them since she was meant to die in 1885 anyway.

33:30 Fun fact, the band playing during the dance scene is none other than ZZ Top :)
"all that wood" hahahahaahahahaha gotta love this kid. Cares about the important things
Michael J. Fox was accidentally choked unconscious during the hanging scene.
When Doc stood up Clara at the train station so she had to find alternate transportation, she rented that buckboard. While Doc is inquiring of the conductor about the locomotive's highest speed, you can see Clara in the background waiting to be picked up.
A deleted scene shows the marshal dying in his son's arms after Buford shot him in the back.
Yeah, they either re-shot or just dubbed that deputy's line, when he shows up to arrest Buford; I don't remember which.
You would not have seen it yet ( and you may not ever ) but as Marty is being sent back to 1885, Doc shouts out "vaya con dios!" while firing the pistol. This is a direct reference to a moment in the the Spielberg film "1941". The three saloon old-timers are Dub Taylor, Harry Carey Jr. and Pat Buttram who collectively had about 150 years of experience in film and television - including westerns.
( And the man with the barbed wire does begin by saying he peddles it for a living. )
Doc ends up with the hoverboard at the end, which he could strip for "future tech" needed for the time train.
He also has the delorean in the cave, which he could make use of as long as he restores it back to the way it was in the end.
That's it!
How did I not realize it until now? Mary Steenburgern was in a movie ('Time After Time') in which H.G. Wells time-traveled from 1893 to 1979, where he met and fell in love with her character. Her casting here was in part a callback to that earlier role. Never made the connection until this moment.
So Biff was Miffed at Doc creating Beef that Biff just couldn't contain resulting in Biff and Doc's beef ending in a bit of a tiff. God I love this movie.

Fun fact: When Marty comments his "Wild West" clothes with "Clint Eastwood never wore anything like this", the movie posters on the wall show "Revenge of the Creature" and "Tarantula"... two 1955 monster/horror movies in which a young actor had his first minor parts... Clint Eastwood.
Wow, good detail
The hanging scene.. they really did hang Michael J Fox (by accident of course). Michael has said..When I went unconscious Zemekis was like even you arent that good of an actor and realized something was wrong.
In the first one when Biff walked into the diner he called George an Irish Bug

This is great, thanks
Tom also voiced Biff’s grandma.
when your son said "he invented the frisbee" it is also a call back to Alternate 1985 evil powerful biff where marty throws a similar object to throw at biff when he is firing shots at him
Oh yes! And the guy selling the gun in Part 3 remarks baby hands.. like the arcade game in Part 2 where the kids calls the game a baby toy for using his hands
@@GenerationMediaReaction oh yeah. that too! i just love the attention to detail. also how all 3 movies are techinally 1 8 hour movie since part 2 starts 90 seconds rewind from the end of the first and same thing with 2-3
The vast majority of the Clock Tower finale footage used in the sequels was simply re-purposed from the first film. The main reasons were that filming everything all over again would've cost a ton, been too difficult, and essentially looked the same anyway. As such, Robert Zemeckis simply chose to port over what had already been done. The only thing changed was Marty running to greet Doc after the original DeLorean disappeared, which was not in the first film. When the third film was made, Zemeckis simply re-used that as well.
As for the trilogy's story not being entirely of the same quality, there's a very important reason: when the first film was made, no sequels were ever intended or planned. Zemeckis & Gale wrote it as a standalone project; the ending about Marty & Jennifer's kids was meant as a joke. But when the movie earned over $388 million on a $19 million budget, the Universal executives insisted on making another one, whether the creators agreed or not. So to keep the studio from screwing it all up, the "two Bobs" agreed to participate, on the sole stipulation that both Michael J. Fox and Chris Lloyd said yes as well. After that, it was just a matter of getting everyone else...and the only holdout was Crispin Glover, so they wrote the "dead George McFly" story to account for most of the character's absence. The few moments where George does appear in the sequels, were accomplished in two primary ways. First, an actor named Jeffrey Weissman was cast in the role, and they put makeup on him originally created from molds of Crispin's face to complete the illusion. It still wasn't a total match though, so they mostly kept Jeffrey in the distance, out of focus, or shot him from behind. It was also Jeffrey who played the 2015 version of George, being hung upside down. To fill in the few remaining gaps, they used a very small amount of existing footage from the first film, which even fooled some of Crispin's friends into thinking he'd resumed the role. He eventually sued Universal and won, leading to new rules about filmmakers now being legally required to obtain an actor's consent, before using their likeness.
Those old-timers in the saloon were all Western character actors from way back.
Nice reaction! Nice t-shirts as well! Haha I actually have a t-shirt with Biff's face, and it says "Say hi to your mom for me!". The actor who plays Biff is hilarious, he's a comedian and a musician!
That's cool!
One thing that ppl often miss is that Marty's bullet-proof armor idea comes from an actual clint Eastwood movie. I believe Rich Biff is watching this scene in the hot tub when Marty comes to confront him about the sports almanac.
Back To The Future is definitely where the inspiration for Rick and Morty comes from. Another great review! I could tell your son genuinely got a kick out of the trilogy, too. I realize you have a load of suggestions for movies to review, but thinking about Christopher Lloyd films I have another one: "The Addams Family" films.
You have a great channel and I love the father and son relationship. If you want more viewers giving "thumbs up" consider making the movie window larger and the window of you smaller.
Good feedback, thank you
Star Wars was a trilogy, but other films were made that (for some) tarnished its legacy/reputation. There are other movie franchise examples, of course. But, I appreciate how cleanly and concisely the three BTTF films were made: Excellent work on each one, no decision made to potentially dilute the experience, then leaving the audience wanting more. Brilliant.
I wish there was a movie marathon where you could take your son to see all 3 at the cinema. They did this with Starwars in the late late 90's. This movie really looks brilliant on a big screen.
Great scott 🤠🚂🚗
I was waiting for this reaction
Thank you 🙌🏻👍🏻
🇬🇧🌟🤗
Great Scott ! Indeed!
I like how the Doc comes back to 1985 he had to find Einstein, his future dog who he has not met yet, a dog is a mans best friend!
Yes! Good point!
16:53 Biff was watching Clint Eastwood and impressed with his bulletproof vest in the hot tub with the girls in Part 2 to set up the whole Clint Eastwood angle of Part 3. The real Clint LOVED his involvement in Back to the Future. Your son could just rewatch that scene to learn about him. Also, when Marty was getting into the DeLorean at the Drive in-, there were 2 posters of Clint in his 1st movies on the wall
Clara was suppose to die (Clara's Ravine) so he fixed that issue by keeping her outside of time & it was sweet he went back to his present to get his dog Einstein. The 1955 Doc's dog was named after an earlier scientist "Copernicus".
Ricky and Morty are indeed based on Doc and Marty, the creators changed their names because of copyright and made them related.
In the second movie, we saw billionaire Biff watching A Fistful of Dollars with Clint Eastwood. The final duel between Marty and Mad Dog was a recreation of the duel from that movie, including the metal plate hidden under his clothes.
The scene where Marty enters the town, where the camera is raised up and reveals the whole town with Marty at the bottom, is a recreation of a scene from another western by the same director, Sergio Leone: Once Upon a Time in the West. Clint Eastwood isn't in that one, though.
Maybe completely irrelevant, but having mentioned A Fistful of Dollars, I think I should also mention that it's really a remake of Yojimbo, a samurai film by Akira Kurosawa. The duel is in that one, too, although there it's a gun versus a samurai sword.
Thank you! We did note the scene Biff was watching, couldn’t have told you which film it was though
Awesome reaction videos of the Back To The Future trilogy! 👍
Wonder how much HG Wells actually inspired details for Parts 2 and 3. Where did writer/director Zemeckis get the idea for a steam engine, mine, alternate timeline, and the names Griff and Clara?
In 1886 HG Wells lived a few miles from Nuneaton England and may have heard rumor of time travelers. In the early 1700s one of the first steam engines was constructed for Griff Colliery in Nuneaton to pump mine water. In 1895 Griff Colliery opened the Griff Clara Mine and that mine closed in 1955.
Perhaps in an alternate timeline, Griff Tannen also stole the DeLorean going back to 1885 to meet Mad Dog. Griff intercepted Clara before she could arrive and meet Doc, taking her to England. Griff muscled in on the Griff Colliery (it did have his name). To ensure Clara stayed in England they opened the Griff Clara Mine in 1895. Maybe HG Wells heard rumor of these time travelers, inspiring his novel "The Time Machine" and Zemeckis read Well's notes. Because Doc and Marty set all the timelines right in Parts 1, 2, and 3, the Griff Clara mine had to close in 1955. (or I have a crazy imagination)
What a trip! 😁 Throroughly enjoyed these BTTF reactions. I was looking forward to watching this video tonight ...after a hectic day. LOVE the t-shirts 😄👌
There will not ever be a Back To The Future 4 or a reboot of the series.
The creator and producer have stipulated that they will not approve of anything in their lifetime.
And to be honest, good for them. Hollywood has this tendency to want to keep making things so they have like 50 parts or they want to reboot it.
These movies are classics. They are perfect the way they are. We don’t need to keep messing with them. Sometimes going after something and trying to create more or re-create you’re just diminishing it.
If you love these movies, just enjoy them, watch them over and over. We don’t need to mess with them though.
That guy at the bar had a barbed wire sample. There are lots of kinds of barbed wire. This was a time around the great land rush when the U.S. government was literally giving land away. People could stake their claim and many fenced off their property with barbed wire - to keep people out, and to keep their livestock in.
ah, thanks for this. Makes sense now!
@@GenerationMediaReactionalso, the locomotive made travel across the country possible, making wagons basically obsolete for long distance travel, and barbed wire is what killed the cowboy.
Cowboys ran cattle drives, they kept the cattle in check and would "drive" then from water to grass fields and keep them from running away. Barbed wire made fences cheap and easier than employing cowboys and trains could be used to take them to market and slaughter.
There was a lot of thought into all of this.
Great job as always !!!🎉❤😅
Not sure if you remember, but the end scene with the bullet proof vest is an actual scene of a clint eastwood movie that was playing in back to the future 2. Biff was watching it on tv
Yes, we got this in retrospect
American Indian, Indian, Native American, Indigenous, or Native are all acceptable to use. Ideally it's preferred to use their specific tribal names where possible. So saying _Indian_ is not a faux pas.
Thank you.
Little dude sussed it was clara strait away how astute 👏
"I'm surprised they didn't make Back to the Future 4."
Well, there is MORE Back to the Future media that's additional to the movie. First, there's the Back to the Future Universal Studios ride. Second, there's the Back to the Future cartoon series. Third, there's the Back to the Future TellTale video game. There's a reason they didn't make a direct 4th film was because it did everything it could with the theme of time travel. It's a dangerous thing to toy around with.
In fact, the end of the first Back to the Future breaks the whole idea of the time stream and gets into multiverse theory. Think about it. Doc goes back to 1985 to get Marty to help him with an event that concerns his children in 2015. The problem is, since Doc took them out of 1985 they would've been out of time with Doc going to 2015. Meaning, they both would've gone missing for 30 years. No doubles of Marty or Jennifer would suddenly manifest. Much like the first demonstration of time travel showed the dog Einstein time traveled a full minute into the future, the dog and the Delorean simply went missing for 1 minute. The 2015 future would not have Marty or Jennifer in it all since Doc took them both out of time with him. Meaning he would've took them both to an alternate Future where they both went missing for 30 years.
The only way Doc could take them back to the same version of 2015 that he saw with their children's crisis was IF the time machine could go back to that very VERSION of 2015. Meaning the Time Machine went back to an alternate dimension/universe future version where Marty/Jennifer were still within the timeline to get married and have a family. Which is a thing Doc says they can't do later in the alternate 1985, because it would've remained the Biff alternate "Hell" version of 2015.
They went as far as they could with the concept of time travel.
They would have to travel 5th dimensionally.
Ah... such a good trilogy. I love each movie, and its hard to really say which one is the best, they all compliment each other to make a cohesive whole story. Maybe I like the first one just a little more... Also, people kind of disregarded the 3rd one when it came out, but over time I think the popular opinion has shifted, and the 3rd one is much better regarded. Fun Fact: they made a Saturday morning cartoon of Back to the Future, that is a sequel to the 3rd movie. It mostly follows the adventures of Jules and Verne as they use the train to travel thru time and get up to various hijinks. All the characters are there, Marty, Doc, Clara, etc, but its focused on Jules and Verne for the most part.
If you want to see Doc Brown one last time in the wild West he does a Cameo in a film called A million ways to die in the West , with the delorian !
Oh that was great guy's watched all 3 Someone got a bit speachless at the end lol Also dont forget Doc had the Hover board Tech to work with building a time machine train that ran on steam :)
Saw the show a couple of months ago in London was absolutely brilliant would highly recommend it. Love your videos keep it up.
Back to the Future III was the first movie with the 75th Anniversary UNIVERSAL logo ident.
Such a great movie!
My first of the trilogy (Swedish TV was weird in late 90’s).
Thanks, guys… 👌🥂
Glad you enjoyed it!
For a comedy, this movie is actually quite accurate in showing how life was back then. I mean, its not a documentary, but there are details they got right.
Water was drinkable, but they got it from wells and creeks, or if you had the money, you had a pump somewhere on your property or even in the house. But yes, it could be a bit discolored.
There were traveling salesmen who went from town to town, door to door, selling all sorts of goods, including barbed wire.
Believe it or not, gun control was a thing in the old West, and it didn't work any better than it does today, but that's an aside..... So yes, you could be asked to check your gun at a saloon or public event, or to leave it at home.
Saloons were open 24/7. The better ones served breakfast and lunch. And they did indeed serve breakfast.
You might want to check out Arizona Ghostriders if you want to learn more about life back then. It's one of my favorite channels.
The trick, if I'm remembering Mark Twain properly, was to pour the water, then wait and let it settle so you could drink the clean (sweet?) water at top once all the silt had settled to the bottom!
Love those t-shirts 💛
The biggest flaw of the trilogy is that Crispin Glover was excised from the second and third films.
Love these reactions, keep it up, you guys will find your audience and will do great things.
Thank you guys, love your channel too!
The hat that Marty was wearing is what cowboys wore. Those big rimmed hats in movies were a Hollywood invention.
Ah, thought it was more Irish
@@GenerationMediaReaction the "Bowler Hat" was the most popular hat in the west.
The bowler hat was invented in 1849 in London.
@@danielberg7644 reminds me of Monty Python !
The hanging scene went very wrong. Michael J Fox was being choked out for real, which is why it looks so realistic.
eeek, really?
And I think I have seen an interview where Michael J Fox said the (inadvertent) hanging scene contributed to the start of his Parkinson’s Disease.
Go see Back to the Future the musical react to that. Have you ever took your son out to a musical have you seen what a play is like it's similar to a movie but it's like in person. Not on screen. Back to the Future the musical was the first musical you should show your kid. If you already seen musical plays in the past this is still good. People who never even seen the movies would go into the musical not knowing anything and still love it. The musical invites those who haven't seen it to go watch the movies and for those who have it's just a little love letter. I've seen it myself and it holds up just as good as the original movie did. As you said it's done pretty well the second and third one don't hit quite the same ranks but they're good. Musical does hit the same rank as the original film though. I would say the musical hits top notch. I hear some say it's just as good as the first film and some say it's even better than the movie. I personally still put number one as my favorite but I think the musical is higher than the second and third. It's worth watching and it's worth the money. Great Scott. they do put a real time machine on stage and they make the car fly on stage no movie magic no CGI it really flies. They do a lot of other tricks that I won't spoil you. Is much realistic in magical as it is there is still restrictions that the film broke that the musical can't. Like we can't have Marty's skateboard on stage that's a little too dangerous for the actor. So they cut the skateboard thing out but they replace it with something just as good. All right no more spoilers go check the musical out.
Yay! Just what i needed today. Youll have fun with this one!
We did!
With so many references to Jules Verne in this film, I'm going to recommend Journey to the Centre of the Earth. You can do a double bill original vs remake like King Kong, with the 1959 version, and 2008 remake. The remake is very Indiana Jones-esque, with Brendan Fraser playing a science teacher/volcanologist, and Josh Hutcherson (of Hunger Games and Bridge to Terebithia) as his nephew. There are homages to Indiana Jones, and they've found a great premise to update the film. Its only 90 mins, and was in 3D at the movies so the CGI can look a bit computer game, but I didn't mind because it was inventive and imaginative and I was invested in the story. There's a sequel to that too - Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012) starring The Rock as Josh's stepdad. Both films are fun and have a great father/son theme.
"You would really have to throw your voice for them to hear... ".. I have NO idea how they think ventriloquism would be helpful.
My movie selections include :
Sneakers
The Entertainer
Gattaca
These movies you really need to pay attention to detail... I think you would really enjoy them..
Lazy neat facts. DOCS bandana are the remains of his shirt he wore in part 2 that had a cowboys and Indians theme on it. And the trrain wad a one third size mini. Very well done
i am assuming since doc was already around in 1955 and beyond he must have knownnobody ever touched that mine since 1885
Doc used the technology of the hoverboard and steam to create the train time machine
Barbed wire was to keep cattle from escaping….the barbs would stick into their hide if they touched it…
Yay!!! What a fantastic way to end this epic trilogy, this came out when I was in 1st grade and it made love westerns, my dad and i would watch John Wayne and Clint Eastwood westerns all the time.
Thomas Wilson as Mad Dog was the best role in this 👏
Funny you mentioned the musical my family and I went 2 wks ago it was incredible!!!!!
Ooooo, have to check out the musical then!
@GenerationMediaReaction they do change up the story a bit but it's still amazing, very talented actors and singers
Little boy Verne at the end kept pointing to himself because he had to go to the bathroom.
i'm glade you guy's watched the back to the future series, you should watch The Blob (1958) next.
The only part I saw in the cinema with my dad, I was about 10
"Of course it's erased!"
"But what does that mean?"
"It means your future hasn't been written yet. No one's has. Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one, both of you."
Fun Fact: Clint Eastwood was asked for permission about his name being used for Marty (Michael J. Fox) in the film. He consented and was said to be tickled by the homage.
Historical Fact: Marty (Michael J. Fox) uses a "Frisbie's" pie plate to knock a gun out of Mad Dog's (Tom Wilson) hand. In 1871, the Frisbie Pie Company started in Connecticut. Their pie pans were thrown on the campus of Yale, and this eventually lead to the invention of Frisbees.
Music Enthusiast Fact: ZZ Top was asked to be the town band. During one take, the camera broke. While waiting for the camera to be repaired, Michael J. Fox asked if they would play Hey Good Lookin' (1951) by Hank Williams, which they did. Afterwards, more requests were played. Two hours later, someone inquired if the camera had been repaired. Robert Zemeckis replied that it had been fixed for quite a while, he just didn't want to stop the party that had evolved.
Wow, sounds like a great vibe on set!
The part I like is when Marty says cool Frisbee.
When this film was in production, they were trying to get Ronald Reagan to play the Hill Valley mayor. It would have made for a good follow-up from the first film when 1955 Doc asked Marty who the president was in 1985. It could have worked, considering Reagan had just finished up his last term in office in January 1989, and that he had spent a number of years as an actor in Hollywood before going into politics. However, although he was flattered to be asked, he wound up declining.
If you fellas like kung fu, I think you might like some Jackie Chan- Legend of Drunken Master or Shanghai Noon 😊 Id love to see your reactions!
Excellent choice
The cool thing about the ending also is that Doc traveling through time with his wife and kids doesn’t affect the space time continuum because he was supposed to die in 1985 by terrorists and she was supposed to die in 1885 and their kids should have never been born. So their absence won’t affect history in any way
I think doc used the hoverboard technology to make the new train time machine.
15:00 you can refer to us, as a whole, as First Nations people. Indigenous. Our individual nations are a whole other field of knowledge. I'm Cree, my real name is P'askatchewan Nodin Kwe.. Paska to my friends. Pleased to meet you! xo
Thank you for this. Apologies for using the wrong term during the recording. Internally we did realise this but were influenced by the film’s old term. In the summary of the film at the end, we used the term Native Americans. Here in the UK are not up to speed with your preferred term, so thank you. May I ask, is Native American now considered old as well? (Ps we plan to watch Dances With Wolves soon)
@@GenerationMediaReaction yes, it’s an old term used. It’s always best to learn someone’s individual nation. xo 😘 wonderful reactions and I love your channel! I recommend watching Thunderheart… xo
@@keetahbrough Thank you
If he took a pony from a little girl, that would have been hilarious
1:03:12 Autre faux raccord volontaire laissé dans le film. On voit sur cette image qu'il n'y a que la locomotive, sans les wagons, quand on regarde l'ombre sur le mur.
22:23 Outre le Moonwalk, la partie audio laisse entendre un beatbox de "Beat it" et un cri final évoquant sans détour MJ., hommage certain rendu (à nouveau) au Roi de la Pop qui était partout sur tous les écrans du monde à ce moment-là. A nouveau parce que, bien sûr, il est déjà présent dans le deuxième volet de la trilogie.
Now you guys need to watch a Clint Eastwood western :)
Its from the doc,,,, great impression 👍
Haha!
I know Seamus was played by Michael J Fox...its just weird cos he reminds me of Eric Stoltz who was supposed to be Marty Mcfly. Eric got fired after a month of filming Back to the future, so the part went to Michael J Fox.
If you look behind doc and Marty whole talking to train engineer. You can see them unloading load the click from the train
Maybe you could watch the animated TV series _Back to the Future,_ with Christopher Lloyd.
Another great trilogy is _Star Trek II, III,_ and _IV._
1:01:23 where is his hover board? There is your answer son.
Here we go the end to the best trilogy al ever see 👀 ❤
Spoiler alert: we loved it!
the second picture is ben franklin
You know you are a gen x dad when you say, "Skateboarding is good for you".
Also, now you need to watch the Bill and Ted films.
Ah yes… you nailed it … we are fans of Bill and Ted !
I view your stream and reactions on the spider movie Arachnophobia. I have another movie from 1977 ANTS Staring Susan Sommers.
There is kind of Back to the Future 4. Someone made a movie out of a video game and some consider that a fourth movie
the manure hre was actually horse oats in green food coloring so it wasn't as bad as it would seem
Unsure if told yet but a lot of the cast was happy to do a 4th, downside is the writers and think director was unsure how to make an even better one so left as 3 of them, the only chance we got on a 4th is after the writers and director to pass away as they did something to make sure no 4th as long as they live
You might be interested in 🐜 ANTS 1977. Staring Susan Sommers. sorry for my first comment on the other posts.
Kind of ridiculous that Maggie McFly would look just like Lorraine Bates... Who was Marty's mom. It's on the opposite side of the family
I've always wanted to know why to this -
Jennifer - i got this "you're fired" from the future but now it's been erased?"
Doc - "of course it's been erased, it means your future hasn't been written yet...no-ones has"
So why did they have to go to the future to change what his son Marty Mcfly Jr did in 2015 if it hasn't been written yet? 🤔 always baffled me.
Because of Docs experiences in time between going to 2015 and everything that happend since, his outlook is wiser and his life philosophy has changed. That's the advice coming from a Doc that has learned from his experiences
Speaking of Jules Verne you could do a reaction to some movies based of his books.
If you like Michael J. Fox Doc Hollywood is another good movie with him.
check out the movie the right stuff and also never cry wolf both from 1983
Doc had been in 1885 for 9 months.
And when they hanged Martybhe actually passed out from the stunt during one of the takes. Oops
