I've been a huge fan of the BTTF films since the first one was released when I was a teenager...But as I was watching this I realised, for the first time ever, that Emit is Time backwards!
Ain’t nothing in the world takes me back to being a kid in the 1980s quite like good old low budget television quality VHS production values.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@FilmcreatorsSuperPlushMario I actually saw this in the early 2000s in middle school. Pretty crazy. Guessing our library didn't want to get rid of it.
This is so cool. I never seen this documentary before. Been a huge Michael J. Fox fan since 2002. Seeing him host this documentary immediately reminded me of the James Cagney documentary he hosted many years later in 1992. ❤
No matter the method or lesson behind the time traveling tool, it's awesome to return to this unforgettable exploration of presented time-based stories.🎯🕓🎥🌅 Stay safe everyone!
We just laid my 86 year grandpa to rest today November 7 2020 due to covid and Parkinson's disease. One of the hardest days of my life today was. That's why I'm here going thru some nostalgia
He just got older. Imagine how dolled up for the cameras he would have been most of the time back then. Its just not his life now. For someone with his condition, he looks good.
Wow, I remember watching this on TV when I was 12, I’ve been looking for this documentary for a long time. Thanks so much for uploading this. I always wondered why this wasn’t on the bluray set.
Our imaginations, speculations, and our history are the true time machines. This documentary shows that we all have access to a "time machine", and it's right between our ears!
The 1960 Time Machine is THE BEST time travel movie of all time. It had warmth, charm and excellent casting. Of course, the machine itself was the star. "Time After Time" was also quite good. I would also say "Time Stalkers" (made-for-TV movie) had an interesting story.
I don't know if you agree with me but everything Michael J. Fox says in this documentary is sounds more interesting and sort-of inspiring than what Christopher Lloyd said in Back To The Future Part III (1990).
I'm watching the Christopher Reeves movie right now. Hadn't heard of it until this documentary. Kinda sad how both he and MJF ended up, both icons of my childhood. Now I've watched Final Countdown.
There were at least 2 other concepts of travel back and forth through time that were not addressed in your documentary: in the 1978 film Superman The Movie with Christopher Reeves, Superman utilizes his invulnerability and flying ability to reverse elapsed time by flying close to the sun at hyper-speeds in counter-clockwise and then reversing directions in order to find tune to the moment when he could save Lois Lane's life; secondly in a Star Trek movie, the crew of the USS Federation Starship Enterprise uses a Klingon Warbird to "slingshot" around the sun to retrieve a pair of humpback whales from twentieth century earth to save the planet from annilation by an alien race that purposefully planted that species of whales in the oceans to establish a method of communication.
What people don't realize is how classic the name "Back to the Future" is.... sure it's already catchy but it's so classic in it's title based on that people go forward to the future and back to the past.... I'm sure people who first heard the title were like "huh"? lol... and then they got it when they saw the movie.... but that's how cool movies and movie titles used to be in the 80's and 90's... the title made you think and then the movie was the second part. Like "Con Air" or "Just Cause" those movies make you realize how the name fits as you see it. Classic movie name BTTF!
Interesting - Bing (as the Yankee in King Arthur's Court), has an almanac that gives him knowledge of future events. Much like the almanac in Back to the Future II, kinda like how Biff gets a hold of an almanac of future sports results.
@@auharko7 ... In 1985 well to Michael J. Fox time is no big deal? Lol 😂 and ya i know how long ago that was! Because my daughter was born in 1982. Have a good day! 🌈💐
I remember watching this on TV when I was a teenager. Lucky you who had a VCR recorder... we didn't even have a VCR. Michael J Fox peeked my interest with Family Ties, and I just kept wanting to see more of him.I sued to record on cassette tape Family ties and listen to them a lot... some of the shows I watch I can still remember the lines...He was such big star for such a short guy.
I didn't notice until now, but I should have noticed when I seen the game. The Town Square has three line paths that converge and look exactly like the Flux Capacitor.
may it be 10 years or a million years .... in the end history proves every skeptic wrong ... its the nature of life to make everything impossible, possible !
History doesn't prove only the, "skeptics," wrong lol as a matter of fact, it's not History that's proving anything it's the data that's revealed to us by our observations. Yes, what we discover is usually much stranger than most people would imagine, but there isn't a human being that's ever lived who could do any more than make an educated prediction about the future. "Skeptics," or not. Actually, most Scientists would consider themselves skeptics it's kind of essential to the whole enterprise. Because something doesn't become an objective truth until it's backed up with verifiable evidence that's peer-reviewed. And the more skeptical the peer, the more accurate the results of your interpretation of the data will be. Data has to withstand scrutiny, and scrutiny depends upon skepticism.
IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE MICHAEL J FOX HOSTING COSMOS :) JUST LIKE CARL SAGAN BUT INSTEAD, IT WAS ONE BIG PROMOTIONAL DOCUMENTARY FOR THE BACK TO THE FUTURE MOVIE SERIES
the bill and ted movie was going to use a van because back to the future was going to use a refrigerator, but bttf was afraid of kids gettting stuck and dying in fridges, so they used a car instead, causing the bill and ted movie to switch to a phone booth, possiby in a nod to dr who
The original proposed car for BTTF was a Ford Mustang. Robert Zemeckis was quick to say "Doc Brown doesn't drive a f**king Mustang!" The decision was then made to make the DeLorean DMC-12 the official car of BTTF !
I've forgotten why Mary Steenburgen was perfectly cast in part 3: 1. Her first movie was "Time After Time" (movie about time travel) 2. She already did a western with Chis Lloyd called "Goin' South"
Check out child star Corey Feldman when he was REALLY YOUNG... 21:53 You might remember him from The Lost Boys, Gremlins, The Goonies, Stand by Me... among other movies. :-)
@@calamitychaela1994 definitely not, the substantia nigra is in important part of the brain and if that cell dies off..then dopamine stops being produced which leads to more shock in the blood system that causes less blood to be flowing around and going from the veins to the heart to be recirculated enough and that causes this immense shaking in response that can not be stopped..

Same
Well Said
Lol
Here here
1985 - (Post-1983)
Ironic to think and unknown to Michael J Fox at the time, that 32 years in the future we would be watching this at home on our computers :)
APRICEPRODUCTION Even better, *on my phone*. Completely inconceivable back then. Lol
Or what about for Bell, who invented the phone? For him to know that one day we would be able to watch entire movies on our phones...
Cell phone 📱
APRICEPRODUCTION On our phones 📞
xxoxia ...on the toilet...
I saw this in my science class and no one knew who Micheal J. Fox was... I was so angry at my class, I found this really interesting
Ain’t nothing in the world takes me back to being a kid in the 1980s quite like good old low budget television quality VHS production values.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Lol I immediately thought The Internet
Neo Bryce Largo Yes, the internet allows us to go back in time to anywhere we want to go.
awesome video. MJF is an awesome, kind person. he's one of my favorite actors and the BTTF trilogy is amazing
I fully agree. I wish I could bring him back at the age of 24 years old again.
Soulbrother Heuck i also agree this is heavy
@@soulbrotherheuck2603 is that because he has parkinsons disease?

I watched the whole thing and didn’t even mean to.
Still need to order the BTTF trilogy for my daughter to watch
then your daughter is in for a surprise .
This documentary is like time travel, the time goes so quick watching this
Man Michael looks so Young back then before Parkinson's took over his Body! I wish it never happened to Michael! :(
Those years of him were around his 17 18 years old
He was around 24 in this documentary..

Our imaginations, speculations, and our history are the true time machines. This documentary shows that we all have access to a "time machine", and it's right between our ears!
I love MJF's voice too, enjoy~
Oh yess, me too🤩
And of course four years after this was made, Mary Steenburgen joined the Back To The Future cast.
She has a way with time travelers.
Thank you! This is awesome!! It’s like traveling back to 1985 for an hour or so!!
I love this ! I was a teen of the 80's and i adore this man. He was definitely one of my celebrity teen crushes. 😍
What a fun little documentary and Michael is as cute as a button.
A very good looking guy at that age. He looks about the same age as Back to the future 1985 Michael J. Fox
So are you ;)

“There is a purpose of time. It keeps everything from happening all

Or perhaps it allows things to actually happen.
It manages the train schedules!
Love the Delorean reveal at 27:27, Best scene of any universal movie in the 80's
VHS-quality........i fucking love it!!! 😍
It screames NOSTALGIA!!!!
I didn't know I needed 'Marty McFly' sitting in the George Pal Time Machine until I saw this ...and now I'm so happy this exists!
TIME WILL ALWAYS BE HERE
THATS WHY THE UNIVERSE WAS CREATED

Reading your comment, I can clearly see an evolutionary gap between you and me.
Fantastic. I have never seen this before! Thank you so much for posting it!
your welcome
You're*
Am I the only one mind-blown by the fact that Marty steps into a time machine (not exactly the same but the same concept) from another movie?
It is amazing to see he touches the real ones used from those movies! :O - he must have been mindblown himself! :O
Yes you are
Yes
Classic Movie and TV History, With Science and History Lessons, Great Scott, It Works!!!
40:26 That's what Biff's fantasy is in Back To The Future Part II (1989) when predicting every bet exactly.
Scientists have found that time is like a clock of the heart.
Cool! I still have this on VHS too! I remember taping it - TV promotion special for BTTF. Nice one! Thanks for posting it!
I have time traveled...from the day I was born to today....took my 45 years though
Interesting - Bing (as the Yankee in King Arthur's Court), has an almanac that gives him knowledge of future events. Much like the almanac in Back to the Future II, kinda like how Biff gets a hold of an almanac of future sports results.
This was one of the most wonderful things I’ve watched

Great upload, basically the idea of time hasn't change a bit today.
Thanks for the recall. Loved it.

Not bad. It would have been nice if this documentary featured Dr. Who and the TARDIS.

lowkey felt like i was in school but like in the best way possible tho
i saw this when it first came on and i think it was only on once way back in 1985 or 96
I was born in 88 and I remember watching it on TV before
85 and 96 are two completely different eras, hahaha.
Michael’s future at that time would have been a scary one to know about. Tragic story.
AMAIZING!
Amazing he was able to shoot Back to the Future and Family Ties at the same time. When did he sleep? 21:56 a young Corey Feldman.
