@@Struzzylive Cant even imagine how such stairs would work, going up and down, 2 different directions within one staircase, where you can jump from one to another?
I still remember October 21st 2015. There were three groups of people in my town. Those who dressed like they were from the future, those who dressed like they were from the 80's and those who had no idea what we were doing. 🤣 It is funny in hindsight seeing what they actually got right; renewable energy cars, computerized self-services, 3-D movies in a sense (RIP Jaws 19 though haha)
In germany, on October 21st 2015, the biggest public TV news station "Tagesschau" did broadcast a full news brakedown, with all the headlines, that been referenced in this movie. "A flying car trafficjam, seaweed price exploding, Princess Diana etc. was really funny and unexpected.
i mean, duh! But the actual origin of the phrase is what's interesting. It has multiple sources, here is one from google: It comes from the 20th century military forces as slang soldiers would refer to a person who has died or been killed in action. The specific mention of a farm is referring to if a jet crashes on a farmers land, the farmer can sue for compensation. Hence the pilot essentially 'bought the farm'.
Yes, he almost bit the dust, bought a one-way ticket, kicked the bucket, took a dirt nap, started pushing up daisies, went the way of all flesh, began resting in peace, shuffled off this mortal coil and was no more.
@@j.diamond6014 I heard something similar- when a service member was killed in action, the insurance the military had on him would help his family pay off the mortgage. In the early 20th century, there were a lot more family farms than there are now. Therefore, a soldier, by dying, would have "bought the farm".
4:27 the reason they showed doc peeling off the makeup was because 1985 doc was gonna have more screen time in the two sequels than he did in the first movie, and Christopher Lloyd didn't want to constantly go through the whole latex makeup process.
They included the last part of the previous movie for proper continuity as Claudia Wells, the original actress for Jennifer, chose to step down to be with her ailing mother. So Elizabeth Shue, known these days from The Boys, took over. And that rejuvination scene bit from Doc removing that skin layer was actually deliberate; makeup was applied to Christopher Lloyd in the last film for the 1985 scenes to of course make him look older, but took a lot of time to do. So they just made up an excuse to not make him look older and not waste time with the makeup by making up that scene.
25:00 - The clue to how Marty could still exist was dropped into that Biff promotional video when it says he married his "high school sweetheart, Lorraine Baines McFly".
When reactors talk over so much of the dialog in this movie, they miss most of the plot of the movie -- and of course all the setups for the next one in the trilogy. I get that they need to react, but BTTF is one of the few movies where everything is shown and scripted for a reason and if you you even blink you'll miss something. One of the reasons why it's watchable so many times.
The writers knew that, whenever movies try to depict the future they always get stuff wrong and often end up feeling almost immediately dated. So, when they started work on Back to the Future 2, they decided to lean into that by instead intentionally depicting a version of the future that was more a satirical look at how Sci-Fi usually depicts the future; knowing full well that they weren't going to get probably anything right. Ironically, the movie almost accurately predicting that the Cubs would win the World Series, being one year off; with them winning in 2016 - something they hadn't done since 1908.
They also predicted Donald Trump , who Biff is based off, correctly. If we had gotten a glimpse into alternate 2015, he probably would have been resident or something.
@@Timelord79 Trump didn't become President until 2017 (2016 election, sworn in January 2017), so - since this is 2015 - Biff could still become President in the same year as Trump's first term.
I wanna mention that "screw it" attitude toward the future to all reactors who watch this, because ALL of them, SERIOUSLY ALL say the same thing. "This is what they thought 2015 would look like?" NO!
They also predicted that Miami would have a MLB team, which was the whole joke there. They were created in 1993, four years after this movie, and were the Florida Marlins until 2012 when they became the Miami Marlins.
And then bttf's Twitter account stated that the 1994 baseball strike caused a mild disruption of the space-time continuum leading to the cubs world series win being delayed by 1 year.

Animals, including humans hate the constant whirring sound, so it's a stupid idea.
To effectively put Michael J Fox or Tom Wilson (Biff) on screen with older or younger versions of their characters (or in Michael's case, his kids too), production for Back to the Future II pioneered new filming tech, which became known as the VistaGlide camera, which allows them to program shots and lock off the camera with a high level of precision, that would ensure that each take, namely with an actor play a different part, would seamlessly match and allow them to splice and overlay them together. Prior to that, split screens were often hit and miss, where you could usually see the split on the screen.
I still think some of the future stuff is pretty spot on! Obv the use of technology, like facetime calls, flat screen TVs, Martys kids on their devices during dinner etc. And then there's Jaws 19 which exactly like the endless sequels that come out now, plus the nostalgia for the 80s! So they got a lot of things right!
That staircase to the roof that you had never seen the likes of, is really located in a Los Angeles parking structure. It is a descendent of a famous staircase in the chateau of Chambord, in France, designed by Leonardo Da Vinci, in which the two stairs intertwine like strands in a DNA molecule.
The individual components of CPR (mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and chest compressions) would have been known to *some* (not all) medical professionals in 1955, but the two hadn't been put together and widely promoted under a shared name yet.
The "future" of 2015 is not what the producers imagined the future to be like. They just tossed in a bunch of tropes about the future to make it FEEL like the future. They knew perfectly well that a realistic prediction about the future would make for a boring time travel movie.
At 12:00, the cyberpunk girl stunt double really got injuried recording that scene. She hits the pillar, and then she did not fall on a smooth surface she fell onto the hard ground, She broke face bones and wrist.
An interesting trivia about this movie- -Lea Thompson and Thomas F. Wilson in Back To The Future 2 are the only 2 examples in all cinema where one actor has alone played 3 DIFFERENT GENERATIONS OF THE SAME CHARACTER IN A SINGLE MOVIE. Thompson plays the young 1955 Lorraine, the 1985 alternate timeline Lorraine and the 2015 grandma Lorraine all in this one movie. Similarly Wilson playes 1955 Biff, 1985 powerful Biff and 2015 old Biff all in this one movie. There are tons of examples in various movies where one actor actor has played 2 generations of various characters, but never more than that. Note that Michael J. Fox played only 2 generations of Marty McFly, he played Marty's son and daughter, but they were seperate characters.
Even more interesting was that the characters were never the actual age of the actors, so they either had to be aged up or down. The only time they probably got to play their age was in part 3, as completely different characters. Same goes with Michael J. Fox and his Old West counterpart.
12:00 Nobody died, but the stuntwoman was seriously injured, requiring reconstructive surgery - you can see her bouncing off the pillar just before she crashes through the window.

30:19 "Huh? Wait, I don't think I've ever seen a staircase like this before." Those are called "scissor stairs" where two independent staircases share the same stairwell. They allow faster evacuation from high-occupancy locations (like convention centers), but are no longer considered two independent exits for the sake of satisfying fire safety codes.
I’m glad you also noticed the staircase is absolutely insane 😂 I’ve seen that clip plenty and my brain still can’t work it out. Great reactions to these BTTF movies 👍
I love watching older movies that are set in, or reference a future that's already happened for us- 1984, 2001, 2010, Back the the Future, Escape From New York, The Terminator, Rollerball, The Road Warrior, Blade Runner, etc.
49:26 - 49:27 When Back to the Future (1985) was released onto VHS, they added a tagline at the end of the film. As the DeLorean was going into the future, and the screen went white, it dissolved into the words “To Be Continued…” as a way to let the fans know there was going to be a sequel. When they were making the sequels back to back, they added the tagline “To be Concluded…” for Part 2 as a way to let fans know there is another part to the story. And because they did make the sequels back to back, they added a teaser to let everyone know you wouldn’t have to wait long. Part II was released November of 1989, Part III would be released May of 1990.
The phone call Robert zemeckis gave universal basically went: "Bad news is we can't get bttf 2 finished for July 4th, 1989". Good news is bttf 2 is coming u.s. Thanksgiving 1989 AND bttf 3 will come u.s. memorial day 1990." Universal just said "cool" as the dollar signs rolled in their brains.
Most people don't get the reference of the people in the tv's taking orders. It was based off a TV movie turned short lived tv show called Max Headroom.
Emme : "I was surprised that a lot of people were surprised that I knew who Chuck Berry is......" (**a few moments later....) Also Emme : "'He almost bought the farm'??? What does that mean?" Never change, Emme. Never change.
Interesting fact: I read that either the producers or writers actually said that when they made this movie, they knew that there weren’t going to be flying cars in 2015, but their response was “But, by God, we just had to have it in the film.”😂 And also it’s cool that Billy Zane from Titanic is one of Biff’s goons.
At the end of movie one, Marty leaves a letter for Doc that helps him. At the end of movie two, Doc leaves a letter for Marty that also saves himself again.
There's a deleted scene after old Biff returns the time machine to 2015, where we actually see him fade out of existence, like Marty nearly did in the first movie. This is because, in the alternate timeline, Lorraine finally snapped and murdered Biff in 1993 after 20 years of his abuse, so by 2015 Biff actually no longer existed. For poetic justice, Lorraine also used the same gun Biff used to kill George!
It bears mentioning that Zemeckis, et al. specifically did NOT set out to create a plausible 2015. Since that year was going to arrive well within the lifetimes of the film's audience, they deliberately went over the top to create a "future" so fun and outrageous that it couldn't possibly be mistaken for a serious attempt to predict what would actually come to pass. As for the Cafe 80s, it references very specifically 80s pop weirdnesses that didn't stand the test of.....well, time. The stuttering Michael Jackson and Ronald Reagan on the cafe's ordering screens were a callback to a brief and particularly strange phenomenon known as Max Headroom - a glitchy, ostensibly computer-generated television host.
Great video, Emme! It's interesting to see how these movies are viewed today by someone like yourself, with people born after the 80s knowing in advance that it's a three-part odyssey and a beloved part of the popular culture and having the ability to sit down and watch all three back to back to back. As someone who saw all three in the theater when they came out and was all in on the mania back in the day, I'd like to talk about my experience, and the experience of the original fans - with no spoilers, I promise. It's important to note that in terms of marketing, production and release times, these movies were quite different than, say, the original Star Wars trilogy or The Lord of the Rings films. Star Wars came out once every three years, building into a pop culture juggernaut. The Lord of the Rings, already a beloved book series, was filmed as one and came out one film a year for three years and marketed as a blockbuster from the get-go. The Back to the Future trilogy, however, was a whole different thing and almost an accident. The first film came out the summer of 1985 and wasn't anticipated as a big movie. It had a modest budget ($19 million, compared to 1984's Ghostbusters' $25 million or 1983's Return of the Jedi's $32 million) and featured a couple of television stars. (Yes, Christopher Lloyd had been in films before, including 1984's Star Trek III, but he was more recognizable as Jim from Taxi.) Director Bob Zemeckis and composer Alan Silvestri had a hit the previous summer with Romancing the Stone, but that was a smallscale, personal film with big stars (Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, Danny DeVito) and wasn't a big happening in terms of story or music. So along comes Back to the Future, which was basically a comedy, and the last thing most of us expected was to be swept away with its big feel and John Williams-like score - and yet that's exactly what happened. Zemeckis caught lightning in a bottle (pardon the pun) with the perfect script, the perfect actors, and the perfect timing. It was loved by the people who were around in the 1950s, like my parents, because suddenly they were back there. It was loved by kids of the 1980s (like myself) because it was fun to imagine ourselves back in the time of our parents' youth (which we were always hearing about) while inventing skateboarding and rock 'n roll to show the kids from the past - especially the bullies - what fun really was! It became THE summer blockbuster of 1985, Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd became big-time movie stars before our eyes, and this was all just as video cassettes were becoming affordable and Cable television (deregulated in 1984) was exploding, so in the following years, we were able to watch and rewatch it many times. (Keep in mind, this was a period where our viewing choices were limited, with no DVRs, Blu-ray collections, or streaming services, and far less platforms for content creation. Thus a beloved video cassette would be watched over and over again.) By the late 1980s, we had all gone on to assume Back to the Future was a standalone film (as originally intended) and would remain a beloved icon by itself. Then it was announced there would be not just one, but two sequels, and they would be filmed and released back to back. Part II would come out in late 1989, and Part III would come out in early 1990. That meant several things that are important to understand. First, whereas Part 1 was written and filmed as one thing (with all the sets destroyed afterward), Part 2 and Part 3 were written and filmed together, sharing some of the same sets, featuring the same actors (with a couple of new actors taking over parts from people who wouldn't return after Part 1) - and, most importantly, telling one big-picture story, more or less - with exposition in Part 2 that wouldn't be paid off until Part 3. (In other words, Part 1 is like the original Star Wars film in terms of being its own thing from a production and story standpoint, with all the sets struck down after filming, whereas Parts 2 and 3 follow The Lord of the Rings model, filmed as one thing, with even one of the scenes in Back to the Future Part 3 filmed during the production of Part 2.) So anyway, back to the fans' standpoint here: when we went to see Back to the Future Part 2, it was the complete opposite of going to see Part 1. This time we were going to see a blockbuster (with a $40 million budget) with big-time movie stars, and stepping into an area of turf which was a beloved part of pop culture, with everyone knowing all the jokes from the first film (most notably the manure) by heart. Then.... JUST a short time later... we went to see Part 3, and that was a unique experience in a way because Part 3 largely plays off of Part 2, but keep in mind, we didn't know Part 2 that well! We had just seen it, but we hadn't seen it over and over like Part 1. (In fact, there were some people in the theater who had seen Part 1 but hadn't seen Part 2.) So in a way, it wasn't until the films came out on video as a threepack that we were able to watch them over and over and appreciate the grand tapestry. And THAT's my story about what it was like being an original fan - though I also have to add I was one of the first on the Universal Back to the Future ride in Florida, and it was awesome! And I loved the BTTF cartoon. But I think I'll stop there. Thanks for indulging me!
Robert Zemeckis (the director) and Bob Gale (the writer) have stated that the ending of the first movie was NOT meant to set up a sequel. They said, if they HAD intended that, they wouldn't have put Jennifer in the car with Marty and Doc. Since they did, they then had to write her out, so she spends much of the movie unconscious. Also, at the end of the first movie, when Doc said "no, you and Jennifer both turn out fine", he sounded very earnest, but in this version, he sounds more like he's avoiding the question, because he KNOWS about the car accident that ruins Marty's life.
The waiter at the 80's restaurant was actually two references. It was Jackson's face and voice, but the mannerisms were of the character 'Max Headroom'. Basically a shot in the dark guess about how an artificial intelligence based character would act.
My favourite trilogy. You weren’t wrong about the injuries from the hoverboard hanging crashing: the stuntwoman flew off course and hit the pilar, crashing down missing the crash mat. She broke a number of bones and had to have surgery on her face. 😢
The first movie was originally intended as a stand-alone movie, so nobody thought about the consequences of taking Jennifer along to 2015. And so the scene with Doc knocking her out came about as a result. It wasn't perfect, but the best that they could come up with, I suppose.
Gotta love the cameo by Elijah Wood... AKA "Baby Frodo" from "Lord of the Rings"... He was the kid in the green hat in the Cafe 80s scene with the arcade game...
When you said "I feel like they would die from that" (crashing through the windows) you're not far off. The stuntwoman in that group got VERY severely injured doing that. They changed the setup for it very last minute, and she complained that it didn't seem safe this way, but they did it anyway, and she was the one who got hurt the worst.
This movie has a cameo of young Elijah Wood, Frodo from Lord of the Rings. He is one of the two boys that see Marty playing the Wild Gunman game. Elijah, Frodo from Lord of the Rings, is the boy with green hat in the scene.
While mouth-to-mouth resuscitation existed as early as the middle of the 19th century, the benefit of chest compressions wasn't widely known until the 1960s and the combination we now call CPR wasn't formally taught until 1962 and not taught to laypeople (people who aren't medical professionals) until 1966. I'm not sure when it was first called "CPR" but it _definitely_ wouldn't have been known by a high school student in 1955.
Hi Emme, another great reaction and thank you for reacting to The 'Back to the Future' trilogy, which is considered the best triology EVER, a trilogy where all 3 Parts are superb, brilliant, and a masterpiece in there own way, part 3 is a super ending to a super trilogy. Hope to see your reaction as soon as you possibly can ---- When Marty is in Biff's car & talking on the 'walky talky' Biff can't hear him as the car (a 1946 Ford) is so loud and with the radio is on, Biff even try's to adjust the radio as he thinks it's the radio making a noise, We can hear Marty & Doc so we know what's going on 🙂 ❤
29:15 No easter eggs in Part I, because when they made the original Back to the Future, they had no plans of making any sequels. It wasn't until much later, after the movie was a success, the studio ordered Parts II and III. The writers have even said, had they known there would have been a sequel, they never would have put Jennifer in the DeLorean at the end of Part I, as it created a story complication they didn't want to deal with; which is why she's promptly knocked out at the start of Part II.
"No easter eggs in part I" because it wouldn't make sense (in ADDITION to it of course being technically impossible for the reason you explained). So even IF the movies, part I and II were made back to back, there would still have been no easter eggs in the first one, because the whole concept of BTTF is that we're seeing events AS they unfold in objective time. We're watching the timelines go from unaltered to altered in other words.
The most unrealistic thing about this movie is that Grandma Lorraine brings what amounts to one large pizza for two teens and three adults, four if you count Jennifer. That doesn't fly in ANY timeline.😂
there's a theory that back the future takes place in a future AFTER marty went back to the 1950s and started skateboards early which let to an interest in accelerating vehicle tech rather then computer tech. So hoverboards and flying cards get developed
😂 You might not even realized, they have switched the actress for Jennifer (vs. Part I) ... they did re-do some of the beginning scenes in this Part II❕ Story wise, a lot goes on in Part II ... even some story lines in Part II will finally get addressed in Part III. 😉
This still has me questioning the implications in universe, maybe she’s just a cis woman who looks and sounds somewhat like her dad, (which was probably the intention since Marty Junior is also played by MJF,) or she’s a trans woman.
the michael jackson / reagen is also a reference to a weird 80s movie and show called "Max Headroom" about a person who get's his consciousness stored in a computer screen.
Dunno if you caught the little tip of the hat there from Doctor Who - when the western union guy brings the letter to Marty from past Doc - in the 'Blink' episode when Cathy's grandson brings Sally the letter.
So, since you didn't pick up on it, this was Elijah Wood's first feature film. He was one of the kids playing the Wild Gunman arcade machine in Cafe 80's.
Nike actually did make those sneakers about 10 years ago. All pairs were sold by auction. They were designed by the person who was creating Michael Jordan's sneakers at the time.
12:57 Did anyone else spot the Midnight Cowboy reference? (I'm walking here, I'm walking here!) Zemeckis seems to be quite a fan of that movie, he also referenced it in Forrest Gump when Lieutenant Dan said that line.
The Griff gang wasn't severely injured due to their bionic implants (though unfortunately the stuntwoman for Spike, Cheryl Wheeler, was hurt when she collided with the column)
It's very fitting that you waited a bit between movies, since the two came out four years apart. It wasn't easy to wait at the time. Though that may have been because I was a kid. I also want to point out that the character Needles was played by Red Hot Chili Pepper's bass player Flea.
I wouldn't be surprised if Emme is too young to have listened to much RHCP (they're definitely more popular with GenX and older Millennials). That said, a short video of Emme rocking out to Snow or Give It Away would be awesome.
he also plays the "old" guy coming to make a collection from Marty in the future for the Clock tower and then inadvertently give shim the idea for taking the Almanac to the past to use it to get rich.
The rejuvenation treatment is Christopher Lloyd basically going away from needing old-man makeup from the first movie. He and the filmmakers didn't want to continue using the prosthetics.
2015 still owes my brother a real hoverboard. Also, the Cubs winning the World Series was off by a year. As a fan of alternate history, something I have learned is that the further you get from the point of divergence, the more unpredictable history becomes based on what had previously happened. In regards to this film, Biff takes the almanac to his past self in 1955 and then first uses it in 1958. Who's to say in that new timeline events play out exactly the same way. Biff's changes could have effects ranging from different economic turnouts and presidential races to different team lineups. In short, Biff's effective use of the almanac is smaller. Had Marty kept the almanac and gone through with the plan, he's 17 in 1985, meaning he'd have to wait a few more years before he could legally gamble. The timeline would still change, but Marty could get more use out of the almanac.
There's no clues in the first movie as they're was never meant to be a sequel. It was a one off. However it was so popular that they decided to make two more.
26:00 Basically, it's a lack of unconditional self love and self worth. Such people constantly feel that they are worthless. They see world as hierarchy: from their point of view, people are essentially worthless. Or, if you think that you are meeting some stupid conditions - such as wealth - you think you are higher and better then "worthless" people who don't meet those conditions. So, they are getting some kind of fun out of that: that usually they are worthless, but now they are "higher". This kind of fun is only possible in contrast with thinking that you are basically worthless and everybody are worthless too.
Christopher Lloyd wore old age makeup in the first movie when playing 1985 Doc, which meant he would have had to wear the application for the remainder of the trilogy so they just had him pretend he was wearing "a disguise" and so he tore off the mask stating he had gone through a rejuvenation clinic to look "younger".
6:25 while there isn’t a Jaws 19. They kinda predicted the endless amount of sequels phrase of Hollywood. I think as much as a lot was done for a laugh. They actually predicted a lot of things correctly. Watching multiple shows at once. The wide spread use of voice controlled things. Possibly fingerprint Apple Pay sort of as you see old Biff pay for the cab with his thumb print. They did predict technology would become much more ingrained into our everyday lives just some of the gadgets are off. By the way the daughter is played by Michael J Fox who also plays Marty and his son and Marty of the future.

Those shoes are pretty much the only one of the ”future tech” seen in the movie that actually exist and was really sold for the public. The product is called Nike Mag, released for sale in 2011 and 2016, both limited quantities. Price: 10-15k$ for a pair.
@@HiperVan7 Not to mention they did make a Hoverboard, it just only works in a designated area created specifically for it. And it’s actually theoretically possible to make a real one, problem is the technology in order to make it work is currently impossible to shrink down to that size.

@@uttula the Internet/zoom didn’t exist. The technology that they were eventually based on was already being worked on, but the things themselves didn’t. Same goes for a flat screen TVs.
@@Fyrecide the WWW did not exist. The internet and modern protocols like TCP & IP still in use today had been around since the 1970s. Videotelephony as a concept dates back to the late 1800s, was commercialized during 1970s and digitalised during 1980s. Flat screens not entirely unlike the ones we understand the term these days were developed during 1950s with various products available in 1980s mostly in Japan. Admittedly, the technology only became a viable consumer product globally during the latter half of 1990s.
I wander if anyone ever thought Docs falling and coming up the idea of the flux capacitor in 1955 was the focal point of the convergence the focal point of the space time continuum. Maybe the capacitor is in itself a easter egg. i mean look at the design a triangle symbolizing the universe with a line that represents the flow of time that splits into two different directions symbolizing the split between the distance and direction of the universe...Just thought it could also be a coincidence I suppose...lmao
The man that mentions that the Cubs won the World Series and the man that got the Manure out of Biff’s car is the voice of Roger Rabbit. The tunnel that Biff drives through and crashes into the manure for the second time is the same tunnel to Toon Town in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. They had to recast Jennifer because Claudia Wells had to take care of her mother at the time. Her mother got cancer. Claudia had to leave the franchise to take care of her mother.

“Bought the farm” is an expression that means “died”… so when Doc said he almost bought the farm, it means he almost died.
i mean, duh!
But the actual origin of the phrase is what's interesting. It has multiple sources, here is one from google:
It comes from the 20th century military forces as slang soldiers would refer to a person who has died or been killed in action. The specific mention of a farm is referring to if a jet crashes on a farmers land, the farmer can sue for compensation. Hence the pilot essentially 'bought the farm'.
Yes, he almost bit the dust, bought a one-way ticket, kicked the bucket, took a dirt nap, started pushing up daisies, went the way of all flesh, began resting in peace, shuffled off this mortal coil and was no more.
@@j.diamond6014 I heard something similar- when a service member was killed in action, the insurance the military had on him would help his family pay off the mortgage. In the early 20th century, there were a lot more family farms than there are now. Therefore, a soldier, by dying, would have "bought the farm".
Old military life insurance sent to your family if you were KIA. Hence, buying the farm from the bank, paying off the loan.
Such a good phrase
4:27 the reason they showed doc peeling off the makeup was because 1985 doc was gonna have more screen time in the two sequels than he did in the first movie, and Christopher Lloyd didn't want to constantly go through the whole latex makeup process.
They included the last part of the previous movie for proper continuity as Claudia Wells, the original actress for Jennifer, chose to step down to be with her ailing mother. So Elizabeth Shue, known these days from The Boys, took over.
And that rejuvination scene bit from Doc removing that skin layer was actually deliberate; makeup was applied to Christopher Lloyd in the last film for the 1985 scenes to of course make him look older, but took a lot of time to do. So they just made up an excuse to not make him look older and not waste time with the makeup by making up that scene.
oh that's so interesting i didn't know that!

There's also a theory that Doc had cancer which is why his spleen and colon were replaced.
25:00 - The clue to how Marty could still exist was dropped into that Biff promotional video when it says he married his "high school sweetheart, Lorraine Baines McFly".
When reactors talk over so much of the dialog in this movie, they miss most of the plot of the movie -- and of course all the setups for the next one in the trilogy. I get that they need to react, but BTTF is one of the few movies where everything is shown and scripted for a reason and if you you even blink you'll miss something. One of the reasons why it's watchable so many times.
The little boy playing the video game in the Cafe' 80's is Elijah Wood, who played Frodo Baggins in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
And that's also exactly how old i was when this came out
The writers knew that, whenever movies try to depict the future they always get stuff wrong and often end up feeling almost immediately dated. So, when they started work on Back to the Future 2, they decided to lean into that by instead intentionally depicting a version of the future that was more a satirical look at how Sci-Fi usually depicts the future; knowing full well that they weren't going to get probably anything right.
Ironically, the movie almost accurately predicting that the Cubs would win the World Series, being one year off; with them winning in 2016 - something they hadn't done since 1908.
They also predicted Donald Trump , who Biff is based off, correctly. If we had gotten a glimpse into alternate 2015, he probably would have been resident or something.
@@Timelord79 Trump didn't become President until 2017 (2016 election, sworn in January 2017), so - since this is 2015 - Biff could still become President in the same year as Trump's first term.
I wanna mention that "screw it" attitude toward the future to all reactors who watch this, because ALL of them, SERIOUSLY ALL say the same thing. "This is what they thought 2015 would look like?"
NO!
They also predicted that Miami would have a MLB team, which was the whole joke there. They were created in 1993, four years after this movie, and were the Florida Marlins until 2012 when they became the Miami Marlins.
And then bttf's Twitter account stated that the 1994 baseball strike caused a mild disruption of the space-time continuum leading to the cubs world series win being delayed by 1 year.

Maybe for 2015, but I'm surprised I haven't seen a drone walking a dog yet.
Animals, including humans hate the constant whirring sound, so it's a stupid idea.
And what is your source for that claim?
To effectively put Michael J Fox or Tom Wilson (Biff) on screen with older or younger versions of their characters (or in Michael's case, his kids too), production for Back to the Future II pioneered new filming tech, which became known as the VistaGlide camera, which allows them to program shots and lock off the camera with a high level of precision, that would ensure that each take, namely with an actor play a different part, would seamlessly match and allow them to splice and overlay them together. Prior to that, split screens were often hit and miss, where you could usually see the split on the screen.
I still think some of the future stuff is pretty spot on! Obv the use of technology, like facetime calls, flat screen TVs, Martys kids on their devices during dinner etc. And then there's Jaws 19 which exactly like the endless sequels that come out now, plus the nostalgia for the 80s! So they got a lot of things right!
A couple years back, I saw someone on the news using a drone to walk their dog.
Jaws in 3D as well. As with many installments at the time.
That staircase to the roof that you had never seen the likes of, is really located in a Los Angeles parking structure. It is a descendent of a famous staircase in the chateau of Chambord, in France, designed by Leonardo Da Vinci, in which the two stairs intertwine like strands in a DNA molecule.
That’s insane 😮
The individual components of CPR (mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and chest compressions) would have been known to *some* (not all) medical professionals in 1955, but the two hadn't been put together and widely promoted under a shared name yet.
i find it funny that Marty's kid watching 6 channels at once was probably the most accurate prediction of the future in the whole movie
Still gets me that the movie was only ONE YEAR OFF in predicting the Cubs winning the World Series.
The "future" of 2015 is not what the producers imagined the future to be like. They just tossed in a bunch of tropes about the future to make it FEEL like the future. They knew perfectly well that a realistic prediction about the future would make for a boring time travel movie.

An interesting trivia about this movie-
-Lea Thompson and Thomas F. Wilson in Back To The Future 2 are the only 2 examples in all cinema where one actor has alone played 3 DIFFERENT GENERATIONS OF THE SAME CHARACTER IN A SINGLE MOVIE. Thompson plays the young 1955 Lorraine, the 1985 alternate timeline Lorraine and the 2015 grandma Lorraine all in this one movie. Similarly Wilson playes 1955 Biff, 1985 powerful Biff and 2015 old Biff all in this one movie.
There are tons of examples in various movies where one actor actor has played 2 generations of various characters, but never more than that.
Note that Michael J. Fox played only 2 generations of Marty McFly, he played Marty's son and daughter, but they were seperate characters.
Even more interesting was that the characters were never the actual age of the actors, so they either had to be aged up or down. The only time they probably got to play their age was in part 3, as completely different characters. Same goes with Michael J. Fox and his Old West counterpart.
"Hey butthead!".. **sudden kitten appears making me jump** ... "Woah jump scare"
12:00 Nobody died, but the stuntwoman was seriously injured, requiring reconstructive surgery - you can see her bouncing off the pillar just before she crashes through the window.
The franchise did not have a good safety record for stunts.

That shot has always bothered me for that exact reason; at least now I understand why they had to go with that take. Yikes.
30:19 "Huh? Wait, I don't think I've ever seen a staircase like this before." Those are called "scissor stairs" where two independent staircases share the same stairwell. They allow faster evacuation from high-occupancy locations (like convention centers), but are no longer considered two independent exits for the sake of satisfying fire safety codes.
I’m glad you also noticed the staircase is absolutely insane 😂 I’ve seen that clip plenty and my brain still can’t work it out. Great reactions to these BTTF movies 👍
I love watching older movies that are set in, or reference a future that's already happened for us- 1984, 2001, 2010, Back the the Future, Escape From New York, The Terminator, Rollerball, The Road Warrior, Blade Runner, etc.
Guys, guys, guys!
She doesn't have facial blindness.
She just watched the first movie ages ago.
49:26 - 49:27 When Back to the Future (1985) was released onto VHS, they added a tagline at the end of the film.
As the DeLorean was going into the future, and the screen went white, it dissolved into the words “To Be Continued…” as a way to let the fans know there was going to be a sequel.
When they were making the sequels back to back, they added the tagline “To be Concluded…” for Part 2 as a way to let fans know there is another part to the story. And because they did make the sequels back to back, they added a teaser to let everyone know you wouldn’t have to wait long. Part II was released November of 1989, Part III would be released May of 1990.
The phone call Robert zemeckis gave universal basically went: "Bad news is we can't get bttf 2 finished for July 4th, 1989". Good news is bttf 2 is coming u.s. Thanksgiving 1989 AND bttf 3 will come u.s. memorial day 1990."
Universal just said "cool" as the dollar signs rolled in their brains.
Most people don't get the reference of the people in the tv's taking orders. It was based off a TV movie turned short lived tv show called Max Headroom.

41:33 "That guy really thinks he took his wallet." LMAO
Interesting fact: I read that either the producers or writers actually said that when they made this movie, they knew that there weren’t going to be flying cars in 2015, but their response was “But, by God, we just had to have it in the film.”😂
And also it’s cool that Billy Zane from Titanic is one of Biff’s goons.
The cover was left in the principles office when Marty threw the cover and shocked that it was Oh La La book.
At the end of movie one, Marty leaves a letter for Doc that helps him. At the end of movie two, Doc leaves a letter for Marty that also saves himself again.
There's a deleted scene after old Biff returns the time machine to 2015, where we actually see him fade out of existence, like Marty nearly did in the first movie. This is because, in the alternate timeline, Lorraine finally snapped and murdered Biff in 1993 after 20 years of his abuse, so by 2015 Biff actually no longer existed. For poetic justice, Lorraine also used the same gun Biff used to kill George!
It bears mentioning that Zemeckis, et al. specifically did NOT set out to create a plausible 2015. Since that year was going to arrive well within the lifetimes of the film's audience, they deliberately went over the top to create a "future" so fun and outrageous that it couldn't possibly be mistaken for a serious attempt to predict what would actually come to pass.
As for the Cafe 80s, it references very specifically 80s pop weirdnesses that didn't stand the test of.....well, time. The stuttering Michael Jackson and Ronald Reagan on the cafe's ordering screens were a callback to a brief and particularly strange phenomenon known as Max Headroom - a glitchy, ostensibly computer-generated television host.
Played by Matt Frewer.
Given the effort to create an outlandish future, it is actually more interesting what they got right.
@@Slugbug That IS interesting, isn't it?
Great video, Emme! It's interesting to see how these movies are viewed today by someone like yourself, with people born after the 80s knowing in advance that it's a three-part odyssey and a beloved part of the popular culture and having the ability to sit down and watch all three back to back to back. As someone who saw all three in the theater when they came out and was all in on the mania back in the day, I'd like to talk about my experience, and the experience of the original fans - with no spoilers, I promise. It's important to note that in terms of marketing, production and release times, these movies were quite different than, say, the original Star Wars trilogy or The Lord of the Rings films. Star Wars came out once every three years, building into a pop culture juggernaut. The Lord of the Rings, already a beloved book series, was filmed as one and came out one film a year for three years and marketed as a blockbuster from the get-go. The Back to the Future trilogy, however, was a whole different thing and almost an accident. The first film came out the summer of 1985 and wasn't anticipated as a big movie. It had a modest budget ($19 million, compared to 1984's Ghostbusters' $25 million or 1983's Return of the Jedi's $32 million) and featured a couple of television stars. (Yes, Christopher Lloyd had been in films before, including 1984's Star Trek III, but he was more recognizable as Jim from Taxi.) Director Bob Zemeckis and composer Alan Silvestri had a hit the previous summer with Romancing the Stone, but that was a smallscale, personal film with big stars (Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, Danny DeVito) and wasn't a big happening in terms of story or music. So along comes Back to the Future, which was basically a comedy, and the last thing most of us expected was to be swept away with its big feel and John Williams-like score - and yet that's exactly what happened. Zemeckis caught lightning in a bottle (pardon the pun) with the perfect script, the perfect actors, and the perfect timing. It was loved by the people who were around in the 1950s, like my parents, because suddenly they were back there. It was loved by kids of the 1980s (like myself) because it was fun to imagine ourselves back in the time of our parents' youth (which we were always hearing about) while inventing skateboarding and rock 'n roll to show the kids from the past - especially the bullies - what fun really was! It became THE summer blockbuster of 1985, Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd became big-time movie stars before our eyes, and this was all just as video cassettes were becoming affordable and Cable television (deregulated in 1984) was exploding, so in the following years, we were able to watch and rewatch it many times. (Keep in mind, this was a period where our viewing choices were limited, with no DVRs, Blu-ray collections, or streaming services, and far less platforms for content creation. Thus a beloved video cassette would be watched over and over again.) By the late 1980s, we had all gone on to assume Back to the Future was a standalone film (as originally intended) and would remain a beloved icon by itself. Then it was announced there would be not just one, but two sequels, and they would be filmed and released back to back. Part II would come out in late 1989, and Part III would come out in early 1990. That meant several things that are important to understand. First, whereas Part 1 was written and filmed as one thing (with all the sets destroyed afterward), Part 2 and Part 3 were written and filmed together, sharing some of the same sets, featuring the same actors (with a couple of new actors taking over parts from people who wouldn't return after Part 1) - and, most importantly, telling one big-picture story, more or less - with exposition in Part 2 that wouldn't be paid off until Part 3. (In other words, Part 1 is like the original Star Wars film in terms of being its own thing from a production and story standpoint, with all the sets struck down after filming, whereas Parts 2 and 3 follow The Lord of the Rings model, filmed as one thing, with even one of the scenes in Back to the Future Part 3 filmed during the production of Part 2.) So anyway, back to the fans' standpoint here: when we went to see Back to the Future Part 2, it was the complete opposite of going to see Part 1. This time we were going to see a blockbuster (with a $40 million budget) with big-time movie stars, and stepping into an area of turf which was a beloved part of pop culture, with everyone knowing all the jokes from the first film (most notably the manure) by heart. Then.... JUST a short time later... we went to see Part 3, and that was a unique experience in a way because Part 3 largely plays off of Part 2, but keep in mind, we didn't know Part 2 that well! We had just seen it, but we hadn't seen it over and over like Part 1. (In fact, there were some people in the theater who had seen Part 1 but hadn't seen Part 2.) So in a way, it wasn't until the films came out on video as a threepack that we were able to watch them over and over and appreciate the grand tapestry. And THAT's my story about what it was like being an original fan - though I also have to add I was one of the first on the Universal Back to the Future ride in Florida, and it was awesome! And I loved the BTTF cartoon. But I think I'll stop there. Thanks for indulging me!
The guy who said if he could go back in time and put money in the Cubs was almost accurate. The Cubs won the World Series in 2016, just one year off.
Robert Zemeckis (the director) and Bob Gale (the writer) have stated that the ending of the first movie was NOT meant to set up a sequel. They said, if they HAD intended that, they wouldn't have put Jennifer in the car with Marty and Doc. Since they did, they then had to write her out, so she spends much of the movie unconscious.
Also, at the end of the first movie, when Doc said "no, you and Jennifer both turn out fine", he sounded very earnest, but in this version, he sounds more like he's avoiding the question, because he KNOWS about the car accident that ruins Marty's life.
You can see Doc hesitating before answering the question in the re-filmed version.
The waiter at the 80's restaurant was actually two references. It was Jackson's face and voice, but the mannerisms were of the character 'Max Headroom'. Basically a shot in the dark guess about how an artificial intelligence based character would act.
My favourite trilogy. You weren’t wrong about the injuries from the hoverboard hanging crashing: the stuntwoman flew off course and hit the pilar, crashing down missing the crash mat. She broke a number of bones and had to have surgery on her face. 😢
I think you're gonna love the next one, too! ⏳ Thanks so much, Emme.
"Let the chickens be." - Michael Bolton (early 90's SNL skit called "Musicians for free range chickens")
Really excited for part 3! I love that movie.
It’s kind of funny that those walkie talkies were kids’ toys with a range of maybe fifty feet. Maybe the Doc modified them? :D
The first movie was originally intended as a stand-alone movie, so nobody thought about the consequences of taking Jennifer along to 2015. And so the scene with Doc knocking her out came about as a result. It wasn't perfect, but the best that they could come up with, I suppose.
Gotta love the cameo by Elijah Wood... AKA "Baby Frodo" from "Lord of the Rings"... He was the kid in the green hat in the Cafe 80s scene with the arcade game...
Just found you through this video! Loved yours and Patches reaction! ❤
I had to laugh when you told Doc, stop talking to yourself. 😂
Great reaction ❤
When you said "I feel like they would die from that" (crashing through the windows) you're not far off. The stuntwoman in that group got VERY severely injured doing that. They changed the setup for it very last minute, and she complained that it didn't seem safe this way, but they did it anyway, and she was the one who got hurt the worst.
This movie has a cameo of young Elijah Wood, Frodo from Lord of the Rings. He is one of the two boys that see Marty playing the Wild Gunman game. Elijah, Frodo from Lord of the Rings, is the boy with green hat in the scene.
One of the kids watching Marty playing the video game was Elijah Woods, Marty played about 4 parts in this movie. This one remains my favourite
While mouth-to-mouth resuscitation existed as early as the middle of the 19th century, the benefit of chest compressions wasn't widely known until the 1960s and the combination we now call CPR wasn't formally taught until 1962 and not taught to laypeople (people who aren't medical professionals) until 1966. I'm not sure when it was first called "CPR" but it _definitely_ wouldn't have been known by a high school student in 1955.
Hi Emme, another great reaction and thank you for reacting to The 'Back to the Future' trilogy, which is considered the best triology EVER, a trilogy where all 3 Parts are superb, brilliant, and a masterpiece in there own way, part 3 is a super ending to a super trilogy. Hope to see your reaction as soon as you possibly can ---- When Marty is in Biff's car & talking on the 'walky talky' Biff can't hear him as the car (a 1946 Ford) is so loud and with the radio is on, Biff even try's to adjust the radio as he thinks it's the radio making a noise, We can hear Marty & Doc so we know what's going on 🙂 ❤
We were supposed to have flying cars by 2000.
Sincerely,
Gen X
It would have been awesome as all heck if the real-world Cubs had won the World Series in 2015 instead of 2016. So close!
29:15 No easter eggs in Part I, because when they made the original Back to the Future, they had no plans of making any sequels. It wasn't until much later, after the movie was a success, the studio ordered Parts II and III.
The writers have even said, had they known there would have been a sequel, they never would have put Jennifer in the DeLorean at the end of Part I, as it created a story complication they didn't want to deal with; which is why she's promptly knocked out at the start of Part II.
"No easter eggs in part I" because it wouldn't make sense (in ADDITION to it of course being technically impossible for the reason you explained).
So even IF the movies, part I and II were made back to back, there would still have been no easter eggs in the first one, because the whole concept of BTTF is that we're seeing events AS they unfold in objective time. We're watching the timelines go from unaltered to altered in other words.
The most unrealistic thing about this movie is that Grandma Lorraine brings what amounts to one large pizza for two teens and three adults, four if you count Jennifer. That doesn't fly in ANY timeline.😂
there's a theory that back the future takes place in a future AFTER marty went back to the 1950s and started skateboards early which let to an interest in accelerating vehicle tech rather then computer tech. So hoverboards and flying cards get developed
33:04 That fool Biff could have become a professional basketball player with how perfectly he threw that ball up there. :D
I've watched this so many times and never noticed his two ties here at 17:44 until you mentioned it lol.
Back To The Future trilogy imo is one of the best trilogy for its consistency. They are all so easy to watch!
😂 You might not even realized, they have switched the actress for Jennifer (vs. Part I) ... they did re-do some of the beginning scenes in this Part II❕
Story wise, a lot goes on in Part II ... even some story lines in Part II will finally get addressed in Part III. 😉
When she mentioned *Karate Kid,* I thought she was going to comment on the new Jennifer.

That stage fall that Christopher Lloyd does at the end -- I think he just invented Systema flopping
Also i dont know if you ever noticed but MJF played his daughter
This still has me questioning the implications in universe, maybe she’s just a cis woman who looks and sounds somewhat like her dad, (which was probably the intention since Marty Junior is also played by MJF,) or she’s a trans woman.
42:57 😺 in sync with jump scare
the michael jackson / reagen is also a reference to a weird 80s movie and show called "Max Headroom" about a person who get's his consciousness stored in a computer screen.
Dunno if you caught the little tip of the hat there from Doctor Who - when the western union guy brings the letter to Marty from past Doc - in the 'Blink' episode when Cathy's grandson brings Sally the letter.
So, since you didn't pick up on it, this was Elijah Wood's first feature film. He was one of the kids playing the Wild Gunman arcade machine in Cafe 80's.
I think Back to the Future II is my favorite of the trilogy. It's so chaotic and I love it.
Nike actually did make those sneakers about 10 years ago. All pairs were sold by auction. They were designed by the person who was creating Michael Jordan's sneakers at the time.
19:56 Last Time Departed: November 12, 1955. I'm surprised Doc didn't see this while pressing the keypad right below it.
I saw this with my best friend when it was new. There was so much anticipation for this film at the time!
12:57 Did anyone else spot the Midnight Cowboy reference? (I'm walking here, I'm walking here!)
Zemeckis seems to be quite a fan of that movie, he also referenced it in Forrest Gump when Lieutenant Dan said that line.
The Griff gang wasn't severely injured due to their bionic implants (though unfortunately the stuntwoman for Spike, Cheryl Wheeler, was hurt when she collided with the column)
It's very fitting that you waited a bit between movies, since the two came out four years apart. It wasn't easy to wait at the time. Though that may have been because I was a kid. I also want to point out that the character Needles was played by Red Hot Chili Pepper's bass player Flea.
I wouldn't be surprised if Emme is too young to have listened to much RHCP (they're definitely more popular with GenX and older Millennials). That said, a short video of Emme rocking out to Snow or Give It Away would be awesome.
he also plays the "old" guy coming to make a collection from Marty in the future for the Clock tower and then inadvertently give shim the idea for taking the Almanac to the past to use it to get rich.
@@Cbricklyne I've seen this movie hundreds of times and never knew. Thanks!
The rejuvenation treatment is Christopher Lloyd basically going away from needing old-man makeup from the first movie. He and the filmmakers didn't want to continue using the prosthetics.
2015 still owes my brother a real hoverboard. Also, the Cubs winning the World Series was off by a year.
As a fan of alternate history, something I have learned is that the further you get from the point of divergence, the more unpredictable history becomes based on what had previously happened. In regards to this film, Biff takes the almanac to his past self in 1955 and then first uses it in 1958. Who's to say in that new timeline events play out exactly the same way. Biff's changes could have effects ranging from different economic turnouts and presidential races to different team lineups. In short, Biff's effective use of the almanac is smaller. Had Marty kept the almanac and gone through with the plan, he's 17 in 1985, meaning he'd have to wait a few more years before he could legally gamble. The timeline would still change, but Marty could get more use out of the almanac.
There's no clues in the first movie as they're was never meant to be a sequel. It was a one off. However it was so popular that they decided to make two more.
Funny that you mentioned Karate Kid as Elisabeth Shue was in the first one and took over as Jennifer in this film.
26:00 Basically, it's a lack of unconditional self love and self worth. Such people constantly feel that they are worthless. They see world as hierarchy: from their point of view, people are essentially worthless. Or, if you think that you are meeting some stupid conditions - such as wealth - you think you are higher and better then "worthless" people who don't meet those conditions. So, they are getting some kind of fun out of that: that usually they are worthless, but now they are "higher".
This kind of fun is only possible in contrast with thinking that you are basically worthless and everybody are worthless too.
Christopher Lloyd wore old age makeup in the first movie when playing 1985 Doc, which meant he would have had to wear the application for the remainder of the trilogy so they just had him pretend he was wearing "a disguise" and so he tore off the mask stating he had gone through a rejuvenation clinic to look "younger".
Plus it makes a great gag that his appearance literally does not change noticeably.
6:25 while there isn’t a Jaws 19. They kinda predicted the endless amount of sequels phrase of Hollywood. I think as much as a lot was done for a laugh. They actually predicted a lot of things correctly. Watching multiple shows at once. The wide spread use of voice controlled things. Possibly fingerprint Apple Pay sort of as you see old Biff pay for the cab with his thumb print. They did predict technology would become much more ingrained into our everyday lives just some of the gadgets are off. By the way the daughter is played by Michael J Fox who also plays Marty and his son and Marty of the future.

Flat screens not entirely unlike the ones we understand the term these days were developed during 1950s with various products available in 1980s mostly in Japan. Admittedly, the technology only became a viable consumer product globally during the latter half of 1990s.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 she is literally laying in an alley.. omg I love 80s movies
I wander if anyone ever thought Docs falling and coming up the idea of the flux capacitor in 1955 was the focal point of the convergence the focal point of the space time continuum. Maybe the capacitor is in itself a easter egg. i mean look at the design a triangle symbolizing the universe with a line that represents the flow of time that splits into two different directions symbolizing the split between the distance and direction of the universe...Just thought it could also be a coincidence I suppose...lmao
the screen movies with michael jackson etc, was a reference to an old series called max headroom
One of the kids at the arcade was Elijah Wood.

The man that mentions that the Cubs won the World Series and the man that got the Manure out of Biff’s car is the voice of Roger Rabbit. The tunnel that Biff drives through and crashes into the manure for the second time is the same tunnel to Toon Town in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. They had to recast Jennifer because Claudia Wells had to take care of her mother at the time. Her mother got cancer. Claudia had to leave the franchise to take care of her mother.
