Hi everybody!! I hope you enjoyed my reaction to Back To The Future! It was so good! I will be releasing Back To The Future movies on Monday's so next Monday will be Back To The Future 2 and then the Monday after that will be 3. Thank you so much for watching!!
As great as the 1st one is. The second one is(in my opinion like Aliens, Terminator 2)a sequel that just as good 'if not' better than the 1st which is SUPER rare! The 3rd one well...But the 2and one is great also
I'm a Back To The Future geek and I'm 48 years old. I collect everything related to this movie trilogy. This was an original idea for a movie in the eighties and not based on a comic,novel or a reboot which happens TOO often nowadays. Time travel is my favourite Sci-fi genre. Glad you enjoyed the first time travel movie I ever watched. I was VERY lucky to see the Back To The Future musical, just before the UK Covid-19 lockdown, in Manchester England (I live in Northern Ireland.)and it was brilliant. I hartly recommend you go see it if it comes to your part of the world in the FUTURE. Sorry about the pun😄😄😄🇺🇸🇬🇧
There's a rather dark theory as to why "original timeline" Lorraine is so different to her past (1955) self. It involves her being sexually assaulted, at some point by Biff and of course never telling George, him being such a pushover. So she was clearly chasing boys, "parking" etc in her young age, but after the trauma she made a complete 180°, went depressed and alcoholic. The theory is "backed up" by the car scene at the dance (we all saw that Biff was definitely going there, had George not intervened... in the 'original timeline' the fact would not have happened at the dance but probably some time later), or how "original timeline" Biff says stuff like "Say Hi to your mom for me" to Marty, and lots of other tiny details. I though it was worth mentioning, because after I heard that theory and rewatched the movie, there's a lot of details throughout the movie that made this theory make just too much sense. Especially considering that the "fixed" 1985 we saw at the end, older Lorraine seems to be much more similar to her teenage self, much more carefree and generally speaking happy: that would be because by that point supposedly she never experienced that trauma.
Wow! I never heard that before, but it makes sense. That’s disturbing, but it means that Marty didn’t just reform his father and jail bird uncle, but also his mother. That’s beautiful.
i always assumed she was just unhappily married to george because the only spark she had was him being hit by a car and pitying him, where as the timeline where george standsup to biff gives her more of a spark with them.
The teacher with the glasses that tells Marty his music is “Just too darn loud” is Huey Lewis of Huey Lewis and the News. They did the song, ‘The Power of Love’.
17:12 Pepsi Free was like Coke Zero. (and Tab was Diet Coke before there was Diet Coke) 23:38 Biff said the joke wrong. It's supposed to be "Make like a tree.. and leaf! (leave)" 24:41 Skateboards were invented in 1958 - 3 years after that scene. 35:02. Doc is wearing heavy rubber gloves. 35:42 Notice the name of the mall?
Did you notice at the end when Marty got to Twin Pines Mall and saw himself & Doc that it now read "Lone" Pine Mall? When Marty first got back to 1955 and was escaping the barn, he drove over one of the pines on Old Man Peabody's farm. You could hear him shouting "You killed my pine!" 🌲 Thanks for sharing your great reaction! 😊
@@justmeeagainn The person reacting to and posting a video about it didn't notice so I was helping him out. Guess you didn't notice that, Mr. Sharpie? 🙄 Go troll elsewhere.
30:59 No reactors seem to pick up on the detail that Marvin BERRY is on the phone to his cousin CHUCK BERRY - The father of rock & roll. So Marty inadvertently created the genre....
Actually he did not. The movie is trying to sell us here that Chuck Berry only wrote Johnny B. Goode in 1955 because he heard it over the phone... but since Marty already learned to play the song ("This is an oldie... well we call it an oldie where I come from.") it has existed in the original timeline as has rock & roll. This would be an ontological paradoxon which makes no sense in the context of the causality paradoxon Marty is trying to "correct".
Johnny B Goode was playing on radio at work and my young coworker said it was a good song and asked who it was by and I offended that he didn't know 😆. Young people just don't know rock n roll history. They're too far removed from it
I absolutely love your critiques of how well these films are made. Back to the Future is frequently used in film classes how to deliver information about the plot and characters in a natural sounding way.
Guy... George is played by Crispin Glover (the one armed bellhop in Hot Tub you just watched). He was cast most assuredly for his connections to time travel. Also Alan Silvestri scored most of the Avengers movies (and Captain America 1)... Endgame name checks a ton of movies including this and HTTM.
The joke from 16:58 to 17:12 made me laugh when I first saw this movie back in the day, but it unfortunately seems that this particular joke has become outdated and usually falls flat with younger audiences discovering this movie today, which makes me kind of sad to see. But to put the joke in context, for those who may not get it: At 16:58, the coffee shopkeeper asks Marty if he’s going to order anything, marty then says “Yeah, give me a TaB (which was a diet soda brand back in the 80’s)”. Since the TaB diet soda has not been invented yet, the shopkeeper misunderstands and says “Tab? I can’t give you a tab unless you order something” as in “Bill you? I can’t bill you for anything if you haven’t placed an order for anything.” Marty then says “Alright, then give me a ‘Pepsi Free’ (which was a “Caffeine Free” version of Pepsi, hence why it was called “Pepsi Free”, which BTW can be seen in Marty’s bedroom near his alarm clock at 8:45 and at 36:40)” and since that “Caffeine Free” version of Pepsi has yet to be invented, the shopkeeper again misunderstands him and responds with “If you want a pepsi pal, you’re going to pay it” as in “I’m not giving you a Pepsi for free.” Marty then realizing he can’t order his preferred choices of drinks from the 80’s in the 50’s, resigns and says “Look, just give me something without any sugar in it, ok?” I know that explaining why the joke is funny doesn’t magically make it funny for some folks, but I just wanted to share that because it was a joke that I always liked from the movie. One more thing I will say is that I’m very glad to see is that you at least found it funny, most youtubers reacting this movie immediately gloss over that scene because I guess the joke fell flat with them.
@@RolyPolyOllieReactions Both of these brands were absolutely awful tasting, since the artificial sweetener they used was saccharin. They were popular with adult dieters, but definitely not with teenagers --- it's out of character for somebody like Marty to like either one of them. But I guess Pepsico paid well to get the plug in for Pepsi Free.
The DeLorean motor company was founded in 1975, by John DeLorean & the company made the DMC12 (this model) from 1981 to 1983, until the company went out of business.
Well _allegedly_ he may or may not have been doing anything, and basically the police asked him to put up some capital for some drug smuggling, which he said yes to, but was acquitted because that's entrapment. It was never proved one way or the other that he had done anything wrong before that point.
Yes, a great film, perhaps even a genius. I am from Ukraine and grew up in the USSR and in post-Soviet space. I watched this movie as a teenager in the early 90's and it was cool, sometimes I watch it now. We love this film in the post-Soviet space too. The following parts are no worse, the whole trilogy is great.
George McFly was actually played by Crispin Glover in this film. I say this film because there was some controversy about part 2 when Glover didn't return, and some chaos ensued over it. You could probably touch up on that when you do the part 2 video. It's funny you mentioned "Hot Tub Time Machine" at one point, because Crispin Glover appeared in that as the bellhop.
The "fix" was to hang the actor playing George (Jeffrey Weissman) upside down in PT2 along with heavy makeup .. He did the voice so perfectly, no one noticed..
Michael J Fox was the first choice to play Marty but he was too busy with the TV show Family Ties. Eric Stoltz was cast, worked on the film for about 2 weeks and did around 5 scenes. He is the one who punched Biff in the cafe scene and if you pause the movie at that very moment, you can see Eric's face. The director felt that Eric was not funny enough and too serious. This was because he was a dramatic actor and not had a lot of experience in comedy so he was let go. The producers spoke to the people on Family Ties and asked if there was a way for Michael to play Marty in the film. They said yes as long as it didn't interfere with his work schedule for the show. Michael ended up working on Family Ties all day and this film all night with only 3 or 4 hours of sleep a night. Someone had to help him get home and carry him to bed after finishing the BTTF shifts.
If you don´t want to get spoiled, stop Part 2 immediately after the last scene, cuz there´s a trailer for part 3 right after it. Part 2 and 3 were shot at the same time.
Good call. I remember seeing it in the theater and seeing the trailer, which was exciting at the time. But for a reaction video, yeah... may want to go into part three “pure”.
@@RolyPolyOllieReactions Sorry but this is a toxic misinterpretation of getting something spoiled. There is nothing in the trailer actually ruining the experience of the movie. There are a few movie trailers out there that actually reveal plot relevant elements ahead of the movie but not in this trailer. If you ask me the trailer is part of the experience, hyping you up for the third movie, setting the mood, and exactly doing what it should do. And people, who do not understand what a spoiler is, are ruining it for new audience for no reason whatsoever. If we go these strange ways we should also not know movie titles because they "spoil" the movie.
Actually that is basically saying that the ending of this movie is spoiling the next movie, come to think of it. You knew from this that the next movie saw Doc, Marty, and Jennifer travel to 2015 to take care of some problems their kids have. And that hte DeLorean could fly in the next one. And that time travel was still a thing. Oooohhooohhh spoilers.
When Marty drinks the whisky that Lorraine stole from "The old Lady's liquor cabinet" his reaction was real because he was expecting just whisky-colored water but turns out it was actual whisky LUL
No! They switched it for the outtake as a prank that can be seen on youtube. They then gave him the prop drink. No way he could drink the booze in the actually used scene. Watch The Out take, Michael can barely drink it even after he knows!
I love this trilogy! It's always so much fun to watch all 3 movies again and notice new details, I never mind having the soundtrack stuck in my head for days either. Not reading the reviews is a smart move, I've been fooled by those so many times I don't trust them at all anymore. Popular hyped movies can disappoint you and you might miss underrated gems. It's always best to watch a movie without knowing anything about it! =)
Skateboards had just come out in the 1950s, but they weren't very popular yet. The chances that people in a small Northern California town would know about them are next to none. At the time skateboarding was mostly done by surfers in beach towns when the waves sucked. Hill Valley is at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains,nowhere near the coast and even if it was the water would be far too cold most of the year.
The Florence Nightingale effect is a trope where a caregiver falls in love with their patient, even if very little communication or contact takes place outside of basic care.
The first time I ever saw this movie was with my husband at the Preview House in Hollywood California. My husband and I used to get tickets to the Preview House about every five to six weeks. Usually when we went there the only thing that they would show would be commercials they were planning to air on television in the future. Everyone would be given a clipboard and pencil along with a questionnaire that they wanted you to fill out concerning each commercial and how likely or unlikely you would be to purchase that product. Occasionally we would see a pilot for an upcoming television show. This was one of those rare occasions where we actually got to see a movie. What we saw was “a work in progress” movie. That meant that some scenes such as the time traveling scenes were not filmed yet and shown as pencil drawings. I do not remember any comments either my husband or I made about how they could improve the movie. Of course when it was released to the general public we had to go see it again with our family and friends.
Great to see your reactions to this! This film was... basically during my childhood. It's always so wonderful to see younger generations appreciating FANTASTIC films from yesteryear. Hell, I hope "Gone With The Wind" and "Cyrano" (1950, Jose' Ferrer & Mala Powers) and films of this ilk are still seen. Maybe one day, my own will be, too ("Diamond Dragons").
So Marvin Berry, the bandleader in this movie, calls his cousin Chuck and holds the phone up so he can hear Marty play the song Johnny B Goode. Presumably, the cousin is Chuck Berry, the 1950s rock star who recorded and released Johnny B Goode in 1958.
There's another time paradox you might have missed. Recall @ 31:00 when Marvin Berry called his cousin Chuck to hear the song Marty was playing, turns out to be the biggest song the real Chuck Berry is famous for, "Johnny B. Goode" released in 1958!
Love your reactions man. You watch the movies really in a deep way. One thing, i see a lot of people who watch Back to the Future say the same thing. Einstein never comes back from the future. The dog travels one minute to the future and then Marty and Doc (and the rest of the world) "catch" the dog one minute later.
I am not sure if anybody mentioned this yet but Jeffery Wiessman was NOT in the first movie. The actor playing George McFly was Crispin Glover. However he had contract disputes with the directors and was not in movies 2 and 3. So Wiessman was George in those two movies.
Fun Fact: Most Studios turned the script down, cuz they didn't think it was sexual enough. DISNEY turned it down cuz they thought it was TOO Sexual with The Mom Incest stuff.
21:35 - I think when he said 'Flux Capacitor', that was the point where Doc believed him. Nobody at that time would have known that term except for him.
Coffee Bars? 😆 I think you mean Diner. Fun watching young people watch these shows I grew up on. Reminds me of when my Nephew was telling me about a movie he saw that had a big gorilla climbing a building. And I was like, do you mean King Kong? 🤔😁 My forgetting that people his age have never seen movies from the '80s.
1955 is generally considered to be the year when Rock'n'Roll music took the world by storm, and Chuck Berry was the first real Rock'n'Roll star. The joke is that the high school dance band is led by Chuck Berry's brother Marvin. Marty is playing a Chuck Berry tune ("Johnny B. Goode"), even imitating Berry's moves on the stage ---- and Marvin phones up his brother to tell about this "new sound". Super time travel joke. There are a lot of jokes in the film about the cultural differences between 1955 and 1985 (differences that were huge). Not all of them are understandable to an audience now in 2023. I saw this film when it first appeared ---- in the newfangled "Cineplex" multiple theatre in the Eaton Centre in Toronto [it was the first such theatre in the world].
The DeLorean was an actual manufactured car. It didn't last very long, I think they only made around 9,000 total units, so they're pretty rare (not the best reliability quality, which they kinda poke fun at by constantly showing the car breaking down and not starting hehe). You might still see one in the wild, there's only a few thousand left. But it's been "immortalized" in this movie. :)
9:56 I never noticed or focused on that before. It actually strongly implies that Doc was smoking pot because later when Marty gets tossed in the trunk the band get out of their car in a cloud of pot smoke and there's nothing about the Delorean that we know of that should cause it to fill with smoke. That scene is the only other time a character gets out of a smoky car and they straightaway explain it as "reefer" smoke. Cinematic juxtaposition.
Great reaction. You had good foresights. I'm gonna watch your reactions to part 2 and 3 too. Hoping that you will do, or already have done, a reaction to Groundhog Day. A seemingly ordinary comedy that turns out to be profound. I will check out your video library, to see what else you've got in store.
This movie doesn’t operate on immutable time rules, more of branching timelines with sort of a delayed “catch up”. So, for example, Doc initially never met Marty in 1955, but now that time has changed, he has.
26:37 school dances don’t have bands anymore because the music people danced to back then was all live instruments and could easily be covered. Now people dance to music like trap or electronic pop music which can’t be covered with a live band
I AM jealous of the giant baby Yoda... but I’m also jealous of the girlfriend; I’ll stop being a creep now 😂😅. Annnnyway, always love watching people react to this trilogy because of just how well done the trilogy is/was. Looking forward to your reactions!
Did you know that Rick and Morty was actually largely inspired off of Back To The Future? If you really look back into the first film, at the beginning of the movie there are newspaper articles all around his Doc Brown's bed mentioning about Doc Brown on how he has sold his very big and very expensive mansion, along with mentions of his company being almost bankrupt on the television, principal Strickland also tells Marty that he’s your stereotypical mad scientist (also take note that Doc Brown is also basically a hermit and has socially isolated himself from almost everybody), and basically how he devoted almost all of his time and resources into building the time traveling delorean, at around 12:42 even doc brown mentions to Marty that building the time machine has taken him almost 30 and his entire family fortune just to realize his vision of being able to travel through time to come true, he even stooped down to levels of terrorism and theft just to get the plutonium from the libyan terrorists (which doc explains at 12:56) required to fulfill his experiment. I mention all of these facts because one question that may eluded but you should ask yourself is when the Doc is testing whether or not the delorean time machine will work with Einstein in the car at the Twin pines mall is “Why is Doc Brown standing in front of the time machine when it is approaching him and accelerated speed during the test run?”. It’s because like I previously mentioned he has sacrificed everything and is deep trouble financially and even criminally to fulfill his vision; and if it works, he sees for himself in the face of danger, that all of his struggles and sacrifices have served their purpose and he gets his vision realized with his only friend Marty (hence why at 11:31 he jumps and celebrates in jubilation) and if not, I’m pretty sure that he wouldn’t want to live anymore and the approaching vehicle will run through, kill him and put him out of his misery so he won’t have to live and try to cope with the fact knowing that he sacrificed everything he had for nothing (and he is totally fine with taking his friend Marty with him in death because misery after all loves company which is why at 11:13, he insists that Marty stays in place with him, even though Marty has no idea what the Doc is doing at that very moment) which is kind of screwed when you really think about it. I mention all of that because I heard somewhere that that piece of potential insanity is actually what inspired the hit show Rick and Morty (which also directly inspired the look of Rick, and the dynamic of the titular characters of Rick and Morty). Also it’s no coincidence that the name Morty sounds ridiculously close to Marty (obviously paying homage to Back To The Future). That dynamic is also very similar to Rick and Morty (in how Rick always comes up with a ridiculously crazy scientific scheme and always involves Morty in it even though he doesn't know anything about it and most of the time doesn't even want to be a part of his crazy schemes, but of course he is anyway again; misery love company) Yes, I know that was a long an somewhat dark explanation, but I just wanted to share that with you because you seemed to really enjoy the Back To The Future Trilogy and I thought you’d like to know how the trilogy inspired the hit show Rick and Morty.
It's very possible that the "electrocution" you're remembering came from cover-art or poster of "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation," which sometimes features an electrocuted Clark Griswold. The BttF and NLCV posters were painted in a similar style, and BttF2 came out the same year that Christmas Vacation did... Did you notice the name of the mall, and other slight changes between the start of the film, and the end. The same thing occurs in each of the trilogy films.
George originally says “I’m your DENsity” before he corrects his mispronunciation and then says “destiny”. That line is often quoted in pop culture to this day, so if you ever hear anyone say “DENsity”; they are quoting this movie! 🤗❤️
George McFly in this first movie was played by Crispin Glover (you may know him from American Gods and as the Creepy Thin Man from Charlie's Angels). Wiseman only played George in Back to the Future II and III.
At the beginning the Doc did not have a vest. He was killed for real. But Marty after going to the past, gave him a letter that would warn him of the future, and while Doc Brown was hesitant (worried about breaking the fabric of time), we would eventually read the letter, and made preparations, which included the kewlar vest.
Michael j Fox was a spokesman for Pepsi around this time. This was the height of the Cola Wars. Other spokesmen for Pepsi were Michael Jackson, Ray charles, Britney spears, and of course Beyonce. Another fact, remember when he is in the diner and asking a Tab or Pepsi Free? In the early to mid 80s, the soda companies were coming up with diet sodas. Tab was the Coca-Cola company's first attempt at a diet soda. Eventually they replaced Tab with Diet Coke. Pepsi free was the precursor to Diet Pepsi.
About Marty's audition, I hate to say it, but I can understand why he didn't make it. It was supposed to music to dance to, not a concert; with Marty's playing, it wouldn't be easy to pay attention to a dance partner, and not Marty's band. Yes, there was a guy dressed like a dog in the test scene.
You were right about the bullet proof vest...but Doc didn't have it on at the beginning, he definitely was shot to death before Marty traveled back, there's no way around it. 1) We know he wore the vest because Marty went back. 2) We know Marty's family changed because he went back. 3) Marty's family were unchanged before he went back 4) So Doc must have been unaware of having to wear the vest before Marty went back. I guess it's _conceivable_ that Doc could have independently had the idea of wearing a vest...for that's stretching it though and way overboard in unnecessary conjecture.
RolyPolyOllie Reactions --- My dear boy, there were no "coffee bars" in the '50s. There were little restaurants with simple light breakfast menus called "coffee shops", a few booths and counter seating, usually open until noon. Next step up was a "Luncheonette". Guess what they served ... simple lunch items. Open from about 9-3. Next up are the Dinette and Diner, differentiated by seating, menu sophistication and hours. Dinettes' hours usually 3-9, and a Diner until midnight. Truckstop Diners were a 24hr affair, with menus that impinged a bit upon full Restaurant offerings. Off to one side of these were Drive-in Diners serving mostly teens with cars, with more of a Luncheonette menu, heavy on burgers and fries, AND (which brings us to what you just saw) sodas milkshakes and ice creams; i.e. a Soda Fountain or ice cream parlor frequently with hours open until after the last show at the movie theater. Dating from the late 1800, they got their start in Pharmacies back when CocaCola still had cocaine in it, and sarsaparilla was a favorite carbonated drink. In fact, carbonating drinks was just one of the apothecary chemistry skills of what is now the specialty, Formulating Pharmacy, the only kind there was at the time. People actually MADE stuff because they were not yet infected with the "they"s ... there's always a "they" who do stuff. The past section of this movie is just post WWII, only a little more than years after a time when all but city dwellers had the motto, "If we can't make it, we don't need it", and the real use of the Sears catalog was in the outhouse ... until they started printing them with glossy pages. Marty's skate board was ripping the fruit crate off the front of a kid-made push scooter. The wheels were the front and back half of roller skate, which at the time were adjustable for length and clamped onto the soles of your shoes using a "Skate Key". The wheels were metal, grating to the ear, and would jam at the tiniest pebble. One pair of these moved one kid, but smart inner city kids found you could make two push scooters out of one pair of skates. Now your friend could play, too; you didn't fall as much, and a good time could be had with scooter gangs and racing. Marty's Mom could have sung this song from 20 yrs later, no? th-cam.com/video/p02DgHeGdyI/w-d-xo.html
No harm in skitching? What happens if you lose control or fall off, and the car behind you swerves to try to avoid hitting you and crashes into something?
You have to pay close attention and remember little subtleties from this movie because there will be Easter eggs in the following movies connecting them to each other or repeating
“Let’s see if you ba___rds can do 90!” Ironically the delirium car could only reach 85. Not even 88 loll And the guy who says “I’m afraid you’re just too darn loud.” Is Huey Lewis, the 80’s rock legend who wrote both “Power of Love” (which Marty was just playing) and “Back in Time” (end credits). Both written specifically for the movie
Maybe Doc suped-up the anemic 2.85L V-6 or like a lot of cars in the US during 80's the speedometer only went up to 85 mph (remember at that time in the US the speed limit was 55, since it is left hand drive it has a American speedo), the cars could actually go faster.
Me and my sister grew up with this film. We watched it a millions times and quoted it all our life, and we have never known what the lady in the 1950's car says. And then you watch it for the first time and YOU tell US! lol. "Dont stop or we'll die!"
You don't know how amazing this is, kid. Most fans have been trying to figure this mystery out for years! Most think she says stop Wilbur something, etc. ...and you solve this age old mystery on your first react. You just blew people's minds!!!!!!
Originally Eric Stolz was cast as "Marty McFly" but dropped out--or was let go?--and Michael J. Fox was cast in the role. There's an ongoing joke in 2023's The Flash where "Barry Allen" is in a parallel timeline and Eric Stolz stayed on as "Marty McFly." And Twin Pines Mall becomes Lone Pine Mall. Christopher Lloyd would end up as the Klingon Captain "Kruge" (spelling?) in Star Trek 3:Search For Spock. The coffee "bars" you mention were actually just diners, with counter service and the booths you see along the wall.
Christin Glover as George and Christopher Lord as Emmitt Brown. you didn't find him on the cast list because you didn't know his real name from just the first one. His name is more said in the sequels.
When I was a kid around the time these movies came out I didn’t realize the Delorean was a real car. I thought it was just something Doc built from scratch.
you know what`s really creepy about the fingers disappearing scene? it inadvertently foreshadowed the actor`s parkinson disorder- earliest sign is one finger trembling, but people actually have it a few years before the symptoms appear. he was diagnosed 6 years later in 1991.
You said that Michael j fox was the perfect casting for this movie. The funny thing is that the movie started production with someone else as the lead. But it wasn't working out because the guy was playing it too serious. Michael j fox added a bit more comedic feel to the character. They were finally able to get Michael j fox in the middle of production and had to reshoot some scenes.
One of the few TH-camr's who actually recognize inflation when dealing with movies that feature "cheap prices". Of course 50 c in the 60's is going to have different value than 50 cents today. I mean it is probably more like $5 now. I mean 50 cents could be someone's day worth of wages in the past.
Hello, first time viewer. -Look up a TH-cam video of filming locations for Back to The Future and you’ll see many landmarks near the 10 and 60 freeways in Southern California. Hey, beef was purposely scripted to say the make like a tree line incorrect. People in the past used to say, “Make like a tree and leave”. -Now I’m taking you back to the past. - The Disneyland Neighbor
If Marty went back to 1955 with money from 1985 and paid for his coffee, imagine the bar tenders reaction if he noticed the dates of the coins. Just a minor thought that's stuck with me for 30 years.
How often do you look at the change you get back? Quarters, dimes, and nickels hadn't changed in size since at least the 30's or 40's (depending on denomination) to the 80's. Marty probably paid a dime for the coffee and the Roosevelt dime design has been around since 1946. The only major change to it was that they stopped being made of silver in 1965. Plus, Lou the owner of the diner is probably in his late fifties and would just as likely need reading glasses to read the date (I know, I sure as hell do). LOL
Another great Robert Zemeckis movie is Who Framed Roger Rabbit, it's an amazing piece of filmmaking!!! Also has Christopher Lloyd! Some other great movies with Christopher Lloyd: Clue The Dream Team The Addams Family movies Camp Nowhere (this is one of those 90's "kids are in charge to the extremel" movies and the reviews are not good...but I always thought it was fun. Christopher Lloyd really gets to do some great characters! Also, Thomas F. Wilson (Biff) is in it too!) Lloyd is always a team player, put in movies where he's never the lead but part of an ensemble, and usually the most memorable character (except Clue, EVERY actor in that movie was memorable and on fire in their roles!) Crispin Glover is the actor who played George McFly, I think you misread the credits. There are some other great time travel movies out there, some close to being as good as the Back to the Future movies but none are as good, and definitely not better! Best Regards l
I love Who Framed Roger Rabbit!! the blending of 2d animation in the real world is so cool and also pretty revolutionary for its time I think. I haven't seen any of those movie you mentioned but Clue is a movie I have really really wanted to watch for a while now
Hi everybody!! I hope you enjoyed my reaction to Back To The Future! It was so good! I will be releasing Back To The Future movies on Monday's so next Monday will be Back To The Future 2 and then the Monday after that will be 3. Thank you so much for watching!!
After you watch part 2 stop immediately, there's a trailer for part 3 and there's spoilers, so make sure you stop right away
As great as the 1st one is. The second one is(in my opinion like Aliens, Terminator 2)a sequel that just as good 'if not' better than the 1st which is SUPER rare! The 3rd one well...But the 2and one is great also
You`re gf got you the Yoda.... she must be guilty of something... she had Starbucks, MacDonald's etc without telling you lolol :)
I'm a Back To The Future geek and I'm 48 years old. I collect everything related to this movie trilogy. This was an original idea for a movie in the eighties and not based on a comic,novel or a reboot which happens TOO often nowadays. Time travel is my favourite Sci-fi genre. Glad you enjoyed the first time travel movie I ever watched. I was VERY lucky to see the Back To The Future musical, just before the UK Covid-19 lockdown, in Manchester England (I live in Northern Ireland.)and it was brilliant. I hartly recommend you go see it if it comes to your part of the world in the FUTURE. Sorry about the pun😄😄😄🇺🇸🇬🇧
Man, I love watching your movie reactions and how you speculate what might happen and you're usually bang on or very close. Keep up the good work.
There's a rather dark theory as to why "original timeline" Lorraine is so different to her past (1955) self. It involves her being sexually assaulted, at some point by Biff and of course never telling George, him being such a pushover. So she was clearly chasing boys, "parking" etc in her young age, but after the trauma she made a complete 180°, went depressed and alcoholic.
The theory is "backed up" by the car scene at the dance (we all saw that Biff was definitely going there, had George not intervened... in the 'original timeline' the fact would not have happened at the dance but probably some time later), or how "original timeline" Biff says stuff like "Say Hi to your mom for me" to Marty, and lots of other tiny details.
I though it was worth mentioning, because after I heard that theory and rewatched the movie, there's a lot of details throughout the movie that made this theory make just too much sense. Especially considering that the "fixed" 1985 we saw at the end, older Lorraine seems to be much more similar to her teenage self, much more carefree and generally speaking happy: that would be because by that point supposedly she never experienced that trauma.
Wow! I never heard that before, but it makes sense. That’s disturbing, but it means that Marty didn’t just reform his father and jail bird uncle, but also his mother. That’s beautiful.
i always assumed she was just unhappily married to george because the only spark she had was him being hit by a car and pitying him, where as the timeline where george standsup to biff gives her more of a spark with them.
The teacher with the glasses that tells Marty his music is “Just too darn loud” is Huey Lewis of Huey Lewis and the News. They did the song, ‘The Power of Love’.
17:12 Pepsi Free was like Coke Zero. (and Tab was Diet Coke before there was Diet Coke)
23:38 Biff said the joke wrong. It's supposed to be "Make like a tree.. and leaf! (leave)"
24:41 Skateboards were invented in 1958 - 3 years after that scene.
35:02. Doc is wearing heavy rubber gloves.
35:42 Notice the name of the mall?
"On tab" can mean either on a bill that is charged later or from a tab (a faucet attached to a barrel) to a glass.
@@SimoExMachina2 Wow. I didn’t even consider the idea that “put it on my tab” or “I want to start a tab” may be outdated sayings!! #old
Did you notice at the end when Marty got to Twin Pines Mall and saw himself & Doc that it now read "Lone" Pine Mall? When Marty first got back to 1955 and was escaping the barn, he drove over one of the pines on Old Man Peabody's farm. You could hear him shouting "You killed my pine!" 🌲 Thanks for sharing your great reaction! 😊
Wow! You must be the first person to ever notice this! You’re pretty sharp.
@@justmeeagainn The person reacting to and posting a video about it didn't notice so I was helping him out. Guess you didn't notice that, Mr. Sharpie? 🙄 Go troll elsewhere.
Omg I’ve watched it a million times and didn’t notice it and that’s very rare of me. Nice hahaha
That was very clever!!! Very observant of you!!
I never noticed that before.
30:59 No reactors seem to pick up on the detail that Marvin BERRY is on the phone to his cousin CHUCK BERRY - The father of rock & roll. So Marty inadvertently created the genre....
Actually he did not. The movie is trying to sell us here that Chuck Berry only wrote Johnny B. Goode in 1955 because he heard it over the phone... but since Marty already learned to play the song ("This is an oldie... well we call it an oldie where I come from.") it has existed in the original timeline as has rock & roll.
This would be an ontological paradoxon which makes no sense in the context of the causality paradoxon Marty is trying to "correct".
@@michaelklaus it's a joke that we can't think too deep into.
@@Lensmaster1 I think I have proven that we can think too deep into this.
Johnny B Goode was playing on radio at work and my young coworker said it was a good song and asked who it was by and I offended that he didn't know 😆. Young people just don't know rock n roll history. They're too far removed from it
The toy car going on fire followed by Docs gasp really is the best 😂😂😂
I love that gasp and his expression lol
That kills me every time 🤣
"Probably one of the best movie-gasps I've ever seen"
I can not not smile at that gasp every time I see it, it's glorious.
I absolutely love your critiques of how well these films are made. Back to the Future is frequently used in film classes how to deliver information about the plot and characters in a natural sounding way.
Guy... George is played by Crispin Glover (the one armed bellhop in Hot Tub you just watched). He was cast most assuredly for his connections to time travel. Also Alan Silvestri scored most of the Avengers movies (and Captain America 1)... Endgame name checks a ton of movies including this and HTTM.
The joke from 16:58 to 17:12 made me laugh when I first saw this movie back in the day, but it unfortunately seems that this particular joke has become outdated and usually falls flat with younger audiences discovering this movie today, which makes me kind of sad to see.
But to put the joke in context, for those who may not get it:
At 16:58, the coffee shopkeeper asks Marty if he’s going to order anything, marty then says “Yeah, give me a TaB (which was a diet soda brand back in the 80’s)”. Since the TaB diet soda has not been invented yet, the shopkeeper misunderstands and says “Tab? I can’t give you a tab unless you order something” as in “Bill you? I can’t bill you for anything if you haven’t placed an order for anything.” Marty then says “Alright, then give me a ‘Pepsi Free’ (which was a “Caffeine Free” version of Pepsi, hence why it was called “Pepsi Free”, which BTW can be seen in Marty’s bedroom near his alarm clock at 8:45 and at 36:40)” and since that “Caffeine Free” version of Pepsi has yet to be invented, the shopkeeper again misunderstands him and responds with “If you want a pepsi pal, you’re going to pay it” as in “I’m not giving you a Pepsi for free.” Marty then realizing he can’t order his preferred choices of drinks from the 80’s in the 50’s, resigns and says “Look, just give me something without any sugar in it, ok?”
I know that explaining why the joke is funny doesn’t magically make it funny for some folks, but I just wanted to share that because it was a joke that I always liked from the movie.
One more thing I will say is that I’m very glad to see is that you at least found it funny, most youtubers reacting this movie immediately gloss over that scene because I guess the joke fell flat with them.
haha thank you! I had heard of a Pepsi Free but i didn't know what a TaB was so thank you!!
@@RolyPolyOllieReactions Both of these brands were absolutely awful tasting, since the artificial sweetener they used was saccharin. They were popular with adult dieters, but definitely not with teenagers --- it's out of character for somebody like Marty to like either one of them. But I guess Pepsico paid well to get the plug in for Pepsi Free.
The DeLorean motor company was founded in 1975, by John DeLorean & the company made the DMC12 (this model) from 1981 to 1983, until the company went out of business.
Due to false police charge.
@@JustinMacri007 The charges were real. He actually was dealing cocaine to fund the company
Well _allegedly_ he may or may not have been doing anything, and basically the police asked him to put up some capital for some drug smuggling, which he said yes to, but was acquitted because that's entrapment. It was never proved one way or the other that he had done anything wrong before that point.
"I'll bet she chased at least one boy."

Yes, a great film, perhaps even a genius. I am from Ukraine and grew up in the USSR and in
post-Soviet space. I watched this movie as a teenager in the early 90's and it was cool, sometimes I watch it now. We love this film in the post-Soviet space too. The following parts are no worse, the whole trilogy is great.
I hope you are doing OK right now.
George McFly was actually played by Crispin Glover in this film. I say this film because there was some controversy about part 2 when Glover didn't return, and some chaos ensued over it. You could probably touch up on that when you do the part 2 video.
It's funny you mentioned "Hot Tub Time Machine" at one point, because Crispin Glover appeared in that as the bellhop.
How nice is Christopher?
The "fix" was to hang the actor playing George (Jeffrey Weissman) upside down in PT2 along with heavy makeup .. He did the voice so perfectly, no one noticed..
The script for this film has often been referred to as the "perfect" script in terms of screenwriting. It does everything a script should do.
In the 50s when young adults said 'parked' they were talking about parking up and making out :-)
We said "parking" in the 80s too.
Michael J Fox was the first choice to play Marty but he was too busy with the TV show Family Ties. Eric Stoltz was cast, worked on the film for about 2 weeks and did around 5 scenes. He is the one who punched Biff in the cafe scene and if you pause the movie at that very moment, you can see Eric's face.
The director felt that Eric was not funny enough and too serious. This was because he was a dramatic actor and not had a lot of experience in comedy so he was let go.
The producers spoke to the people on Family Ties and asked if there was a way for Michael to play Marty in the film. They said yes as long as it didn't interfere with his work schedule for the show. Michael ended up working on Family Ties all day and this film all night with only 3 or 4 hours of sleep a night.
Someone had to help him get home and carry him to bed after finishing the BTTF shifts.
If you like the way events are mirrored in the past and present, your gonna love the events in Back to the Future 2
Probably my fave movie of all time. Love your reaction and enthusiasm for this classic 😁
If you don´t want to get spoiled, stop Part 2 immediately after the last scene, cuz there´s a trailer for part 3 right after it. Part 2 and 3 were shot at the same time.
Thank you for the heads up!
RolyPolyOllie Reactions Yeah, you need to do it really quick, cause they pretty much go into the trailer right away.
Good call. I remember seeing it in the theater and seeing the trailer, which was exciting at the time. But for a reaction video, yeah... may want to go into part three “pure”.
@@RolyPolyOllieReactions Sorry but this is a toxic misinterpretation of getting something spoiled. There is nothing in the trailer actually ruining the experience of the movie. There are a few movie trailers out there that actually reveal plot relevant elements ahead of the movie but not in this trailer.
If you ask me the trailer is part of the experience, hyping you up for the third movie, setting the mood, and exactly doing what it should do. And people, who do not understand what a spoiler is, are ruining it for new audience for no reason whatsoever.
If we go these strange ways we should also not know movie titles because they "spoil" the movie.
Actually that is basically saying that the ending of this movie is spoiling the next movie, come to think of it. You knew from this that the next movie saw Doc, Marty, and Jennifer travel to 2015 to take care of some problems their kids have. And that hte DeLorean could fly in the next one. And that time travel was still a thing. Oooohhooohhh spoilers.
Any lady who gets you a giant baby Yoda is a keeper! She’s the Lorraine to your George! 💜
Yes, yes...she is...your density!
When Marty drinks the whisky that Lorraine stole from "The old Lady's liquor cabinet" his reaction was real because he was expecting just whisky-colored water but turns out it was actual whisky LUL
No! They switched it for the outtake as a prank that can be seen on youtube. They then gave him the prop drink. No way he could drink the booze in the actually used scene. Watch The Out take, Michael can barely drink it even after he knows!
I love this trilogy! It's always so much fun to watch all 3 movies again and notice new details, I never mind having the soundtrack stuck in my head for days either. Not reading the reviews is a smart move, I've been fooled by those so many times I don't trust them at all anymore. Popular hyped movies can disappoint you and you might miss underrated gems. It's always best to watch a movie without knowing anything about it! =)
Skateboards had just come out in the 1950s, but they weren't very popular yet. The chances that people in a small Northern California town would know about them are next to none.
At the time skateboarding was mostly done by surfers in beach towns when the waves sucked.
Hill Valley is at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains,nowhere near the coast and even if it was the water would be far too cold most of the year.
The Florence Nightingale effect is a trope where a caregiver falls in love with their patient, even if very little communication or contact takes place outside of basic care.
The first time I ever saw this movie was with my husband at the Preview House in Hollywood California. My husband and I used to get tickets to the Preview House about every five to six weeks. Usually when we went there the only thing that they would show would be commercials they were planning to air on television in the future. Everyone would be given a clipboard and pencil along with a questionnaire that they wanted you to fill out concerning each commercial and how likely or unlikely you would be to purchase that product. Occasionally we would see a pilot for an upcoming television show. This was one of those rare occasions where we actually got to see a movie. What we saw was “a work in progress” movie. That meant that some scenes such as the time traveling scenes were not filmed yet and shown as pencil drawings. I do not remember any comments either my husband or I made about how they could improve the movie. Of course when it was released to the general public we had to go see it again with our family and friends.
" I forgot Ronald Reagan was an actor".
Look at @15:48 They set you up subliminally.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Bravo once again my friend. Brings me happiness that you enjoy these 80s films. Classic
Great to see your reactions to this! This film was... basically during my childhood.
It's always so wonderful to see younger generations appreciating FANTASTIC films from yesteryear.
Hell, I hope "Gone With The Wind" and "Cyrano" (1950, Jose' Ferrer & Mala Powers) and films of this ilk are still seen.
Maybe one day, my own will be, too ("Diamond Dragons").
So Marvin Berry, the bandleader in this movie, calls his cousin Chuck and holds the phone up so he can hear Marty play the song Johnny B Goode. Presumably, the cousin is Chuck Berry, the 1950s rock star who recorded and released Johnny B Goode in 1958.
There's another time paradox you might have missed. Recall @ 31:00 when Marvin Berry called his cousin Chuck to hear the song Marty was playing, turns out to be the biggest song the real Chuck Berry is famous for, "Johnny B. Goode" released in 1958!
Love your reactions man. You watch the movies really in a deep way. One thing, i see a lot of people who watch Back to the Future say the same thing. Einstein never comes back from the future. The dog travels one minute to the future and then Marty and Doc (and the rest of the world) "catch" the dog one minute later.
Christopher Lloyd also played in Star Trek III as the enemy Klingon captain. Kruge
I am not sure if anybody mentioned this yet but Jeffery Wiessman was NOT in the first movie. The actor playing George McFly was Crispin Glover. However he had contract disputes with the directors and was not in movies 2 and 3. So Wiessman was George in those two movies.
The Back to the Future saga is one of those movies that the more I watch, the better it gets, excellent video, I subscribe
this kid's a movie psychic, geez! glad you still get enjoyment out of the film. And you have got the George McFly laugh down perfect! 🤣
The song is "Johhny B. Goode" from Chuck BERRY.... the guitar man of the band is Malvin BERRY....
Fun Fact: Most Studios turned the script down, cuz they didn't think it was sexual enough. DISNEY turned it down cuz they thought it was TOO Sexual with The Mom Incest stuff.
Imagine all the regret those studio heads have had all these years later.
21:35 - I think when he said 'Flux Capacitor', that was the point where Doc believed him. Nobody at that time would have known that term except for him.
Coffee Bars? 😆 I think you mean Diner. Fun watching young people watch these shows I grew up on. Reminds me of when my Nephew was telling me about a movie he saw that had a big gorilla climbing a building. And I was like, do you mean King Kong? 🤔😁 My forgetting that people his age have never seen movies from the '80s.
Nice job bro. You did call a lot of things in this movie. You are a genius. My fav movie of all time.
Written by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale. Directed by Robert Zemeckis. Stars Michael J. Fox as Morty and Christopher Lloyd as Doctor Emmett Brown
Chuck Berry, Marvin's cousin was a huge rockstar and the guitar god of the 1950s. One of his biggest hits was Johnny B. Good.
Written in 1955, also several of the moves Marty is doing during his performance were moves that Chuck Berry did.
There was definitely a lot of Chuck Berry in there as well as some Pete Townsend, Jimmi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen and probably a few others I missed.
Another great review reaction! Keep up the great work my friend!
1955 is generally considered to be the year when Rock'n'Roll music took the world by storm, and Chuck Berry was the first real Rock'n'Roll star. The joke is that the high school dance band is led by Chuck Berry's brother Marvin. Marty is playing a Chuck Berry tune ("Johnny B. Goode"), even imitating Berry's moves on the stage ---- and Marvin phones up his brother to tell about this "new sound". Super time travel joke. There are a lot of jokes in the film about the cultural differences between 1955 and 1985 (differences that were huge). Not all of them are understandable to an audience now in 2023. I saw this film when it first appeared ---- in the newfangled "Cineplex" multiple theatre in the Eaton Centre in Toronto [it was the first such theatre in the world].
The DeLorean was an actual manufactured car. It didn't last very long, I think they only made around 9,000 total units, so they're pretty rare (not the best reliability quality, which they kinda poke fun at by constantly showing the car breaking down and not starting hehe). You might still see one in the wild, there's only a few thousand left. But it's been "immortalized" in this movie. :)
9:56 I never noticed or focused on that before.
It actually strongly implies that Doc was smoking pot because later when Marty gets tossed in the trunk the band get out of their car in a cloud of pot smoke and there's nothing about the Delorean that we know of that should cause it to fill with smoke.
That scene is the only other time a character gets out of a smoky car and they straightaway explain it as "reefer" smoke.
Cinematic juxtaposition.
Crispin Glover played George
Great reaction. You had good foresights. I'm gonna watch your reactions to part 2 and 3 too.
Hoping that you will do, or already have done, a reaction to Groundhog Day. A seemingly ordinary comedy that turns out to be profound. I will check out your video library, to see what else you've got in store.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy them :) I had already seen Groundhog Day before starting the channel but it is so so good.
This movie doesn’t operate on immutable time rules, more of branching timelines with sort of a delayed “catch up”. So, for example, Doc initially never met Marty in 1955, but now that time has changed, he has.
26:37 school dances don’t have bands anymore because the music people danced to back then was all live instruments and could easily be covered. Now people dance to music like trap or electronic pop music which can’t be covered with a live band
The DeLorean was, in fact, an actual manufactured car. I have a friend who owned one. Regretted it. Now he regrets getting rid of it.
I like to think George put all that pent up frustration and anger into that punch.
I AM jealous of the giant baby Yoda... but I’m also jealous of the girlfriend; I’ll stop being a creep now 😂😅. Annnnyway, always love watching people react to this trilogy because of just how well done the trilogy is/was. Looking forward to your reactions!
Did you know that Rick and Morty was actually largely inspired off of Back To The Future?
If you really look back into the first film, at the beginning of the movie there are newspaper articles all around his Doc Brown's bed mentioning about Doc Brown on how he has sold his very big and very expensive mansion, along with mentions of his company being almost bankrupt on the television, principal Strickland also tells Marty that he’s your stereotypical mad scientist (also take note that Doc Brown is also basically a hermit and has socially isolated himself from almost everybody), and basically how he devoted almost all of his time and resources into building the time traveling delorean, at around 12:42 even doc brown mentions to Marty that building the time machine has taken him almost 30 and his entire family fortune just to realize his vision of being able to travel through time to come true, he even stooped down to levels of terrorism and theft just to get the plutonium from the libyan terrorists (which doc explains at 12:56) required to fulfill his experiment. I mention all of these facts because one question that may eluded but you should ask yourself is when the Doc is testing whether or not the delorean time machine will work with Einstein in the car at the Twin pines mall is “Why is Doc Brown standing in front of the time machine when it is approaching him and accelerated speed during the test run?”. It’s because like I previously mentioned he has sacrificed everything and is deep trouble financially and even criminally to fulfill his vision; and if it works, he sees for himself in the face of danger, that all of his struggles and sacrifices have served their purpose and he gets his vision realized with his only friend Marty (hence why at 11:31 he jumps and celebrates in jubilation) and if not, I’m pretty sure that he wouldn’t want to live anymore and the approaching vehicle will run through, kill him and put him out of his misery so he won’t have to live and try to cope with the fact knowing that he sacrificed everything he had for nothing (and he is totally fine with taking his friend Marty with him in death because misery after all loves company which is why at 11:13, he insists that Marty stays in place with him, even though Marty has no idea what the Doc is doing at that very moment) which is kind of screwed when you really think about it.
I mention all of that because I heard somewhere that that piece of potential insanity is actually what inspired the hit show Rick and Morty (which also directly inspired the look of Rick, and the dynamic of the titular characters of Rick and Morty). Also it’s no coincidence that the name Morty sounds ridiculously close to Marty (obviously paying homage to Back To The Future). That dynamic is also very similar to Rick and Morty (in how Rick always comes up with a ridiculously crazy scientific scheme and always involves Morty in it even though he doesn't know anything about it and most of the time doesn't even want to be a part of his crazy schemes, but of course he is anyway again; misery love company)
Yes, I know that was a long an somewhat dark explanation, but I just wanted to share that with you because you seemed to really enjoy the Back To The Future Trilogy and I thought you’d like to know how the trilogy inspired the hit show Rick and Morty.
It's very possible that the "electrocution" you're remembering came from cover-art or poster of "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation," which sometimes features an electrocuted Clark Griswold. The BttF and NLCV posters were painted in a similar style, and BttF2 came out the same year that Christmas Vacation did...
Did you notice the name of the mall, and other slight changes between the start of the film, and the end. The same thing occurs in each of the trilogy films.
George originally says “I’m your DENsity” before he corrects his mispronunciation and then says “destiny”.
That line is often quoted in pop culture to this day, so if you ever hear anyone say “DENsity”; they are quoting this movie! 🤗❤️
Or they’re just mispronouncing « destiny »
George McFly in this first movie was played by Crispin Glover (you may know him from American Gods and as the Creepy Thin Man from Charlie's Angels). Wiseman only played George in Back to the Future II and III.
8:40 - There's a Garfield joke in there somewhere about the way Marty sleeps.
interesting fact...i met christopher lloyd at a comicon a while back. and got a photo with him, the delorean was there as well. i really like him
At the beginning the Doc did not have a vest. He was killed for real. But Marty after going to the past, gave him a letter that would warn him of the future, and while Doc Brown was hesitant (worried about breaking the fabric of time), we would eventually read the letter, and made preparations, which included the kewlar vest.
The principle is also in Top Gun, where he plays Tom Cruise's commander in the aircraft carrier where he serves.
Michael j Fox was a spokesman for Pepsi around this time. This was the height of the Cola Wars. Other spokesmen for Pepsi were Michael Jackson, Ray charles, Britney spears, and of course Beyonce. Another fact, remember when he is in the diner and asking a Tab or Pepsi Free? In the early to mid 80s, the soda companies were coming up with diet sodas. Tab was the Coca-Cola company's first attempt at a diet soda. Eventually they replaced Tab with Diet Coke. Pepsi free was the precursor to Diet Pepsi.
"Those 1950's coffee bars."
It's a soda shop.
If Covid didn’t put it out of business, there is a soda shop In Milwaukee, Wisconsin where the waitresses are on skates.
About Marty's audition, I hate to say it, but I can understand why he didn't make it. It was supposed to music to dance to, not a concert; with Marty's playing, it wouldn't be easy to pay attention to a dance partner, and not Marty's band. Yes, there was a guy dressed like a dog in the test scene.
You were right about the bullet proof vest...but Doc didn't have it on at the beginning, he definitely was shot to death before Marty traveled back, there's no way around it.
1) We know he wore the vest because Marty went back.
2) We know Marty's family changed because he went back.
3) Marty's family were unchanged before he went back
4) So Doc must have been unaware of having to wear the vest before Marty went back.
I guess it's _conceivable_ that Doc could have independently had the idea of wearing a vest...for that's stretching it though and way overboard in unnecessary conjecture.
RolyPolyOllie Reactions --- My dear boy, there were no "coffee bars" in the '50s. There were little restaurants with simple light breakfast menus called "coffee shops", a few booths and counter seating, usually open until noon. Next step up was a "Luncheonette". Guess what they served ... simple lunch items. Open from about 9-3. Next up are the Dinette and Diner, differentiated by seating, menu sophistication and hours. Dinettes' hours usually 3-9, and a Diner until midnight. Truckstop Diners were a 24hr affair, with menus that impinged a bit upon full Restaurant offerings. Off to one side of these were Drive-in Diners serving mostly teens with cars, with more of a Luncheonette menu, heavy on burgers and fries, AND (which brings us to what you just saw) sodas milkshakes and ice creams; i.e. a Soda Fountain or ice cream parlor frequently with hours open until after the last show at the movie theater. Dating from the late 1800, they got their start in Pharmacies back when CocaCola still had cocaine in it, and sarsaparilla was a favorite carbonated drink. In fact, carbonating drinks was just one of the apothecary chemistry skills of what is now the specialty, Formulating Pharmacy, the only kind there was at the time.
People actually MADE stuff because they were not yet infected with the "they"s ... there's always a "they" who do stuff.
The past section of this movie is just post WWII, only a little more than years after a time when all but city dwellers had the motto, "If we can't make it, we don't need it", and the real use of the Sears catalog was in the outhouse ... until they started printing them with glossy pages.
Marty's skate board was ripping the fruit crate off the front of a kid-made push scooter. The wheels were the front and back half of roller skate, which at the time were adjustable for length and clamped onto the soles of your shoes using a "Skate Key". The wheels were metal, grating to the ear, and would jam at the tiniest pebble. One pair of these moved one kid, but smart inner city kids found you could make two push scooters out of one pair of skates. Now your friend could play, too; you didn't fall as much, and a good time could be had with scooter gangs and racing.
Marty's Mom could have sung this song from 20 yrs later, no?

No harm in skitching? What happens if you lose control or fall off, and the car behind you swerves to try to avoid hitting you and crashes into something?

Maybe Doc suped-up the anemic 2.85L V-6 or like a lot of cars in the US during 80's the speedometer only went up to 85 mph (remember at that time in the US the speed limit was 55, since it is left hand drive it has a American speedo), the cars could actually go faster.

Originally Eric Stolz was cast as "Marty McFly" but dropped out--or was let go?--and Michael J. Fox was cast in the role. There's an ongoing joke in 2023's The Flash where "Barry Allen" is in a parallel timeline and Eric Stolz stayed on as "Marty McFly." And Twin Pines Mall becomes Lone Pine Mall. Christopher Lloyd would end up as the Klingon Captain "Kruge" (spelling?) in Star Trek 3:Search For Spock. The coffee "bars" you mention were actually just diners, with counter service and the booths you see along the wall.
Christin Glover as George and Christopher Lord as Emmitt Brown. you didn't find him on the cast list because you didn't know his real name from just the first one. His name is more said in the sequels.
The Delorean DMC 12 became a pop culture icon after this film.
When I was a kid around the time these movies came out I didn’t realize the Delorean was a real car. I thought it was just something Doc built from scratch.
The pun is "make like a tree and leave" (as in trees having leafs), but he fumbles it into "make like a tree and get out of here".
you know what`s really creepy about the fingers disappearing scene? it inadvertently foreshadowed the actor`s parkinson disorder- earliest sign is one finger trembling, but people actually have it a few years before the symptoms appear. he was diagnosed 6 years later in 1991.
I 100% agree with you Twin Peaks is the the best show i ever seen especially 1 & 3 season and the movie fire walk with me David Lynch is so awesome!
I havent even bgan watching your reaction and I love you already. Love baby yoda too.
The dude in the beginning with the megphone, thje juror, he's the singer of the band of the song the the beginning.
You said that Michael j fox was the perfect casting for this movie. The funny thing is that the movie started production with someone else as the lead. But it wasn't working out because the guy was playing it too serious. Michael j fox added a bit more comedic feel to the character. They were finally able to get Michael j fox in the middle of production and had to reshoot some scenes.
Huey Lewis makes an appearance when he says " Its too darn loud"
One of the few TH-camr's who actually recognize inflation when dealing with movies that feature "cheap prices". Of course 50 c in the 60's is going to have different value than 50 cents today. I mean it is probably more like $5 now. I mean 50 cents could be someone's day worth of wages in the past.
Hello, first time viewer. -Look up a TH-cam video of filming locations for Back to The Future and you’ll see many landmarks near the 10 and 60 freeways in Southern California.
Hey, beef was purposely scripted to say the make like a tree line incorrect. People in the past used to say, “Make like a tree and leave”. -Now I’m taking you back to the past.
- The Disneyland Neighbor
Test audiences were told that this was a time traveling movie until they were introduced to the delorean
10:45 - This is one of Christopher Lloyd's most famous lines.
You might want to move your ring light a bit. Left Right or something? Just so it won't reflect in those doors! I just care and love this channel.
hey man love your reactions keep it up by the way what kind of camera do you use to make your videos?
Thank you!! I use a sony handycam fdr-ax53
Christopher Lloyd is an absolute legend, you should watch The Pagemaster (Live action/animated mix) as he is brilliant in it
If Marty went back to 1955 with money from 1985 and paid for his coffee, imagine the bar tenders reaction if he noticed the dates of the coins. Just a minor thought that's stuck with me for 30 years.
That is an interesting thought that never even crossed my mind. I bet the bar tender would just pass them off as fake
He didn't necessarily have current coins though. Coins circulate for a long ass time. People frequently carry around old coins decades old.
How often do you look at the change you get back? Quarters, dimes, and nickels hadn't changed in size since at least the 30's or 40's (depending on denomination) to the 80's. Marty probably paid a dime for the coffee and the Roosevelt dime design has been around since 1946. The only major change to it was that they stopped being made of silver in 1965. Plus, Lou the owner of the diner is probably in his late fifties and would just as likely need reading glasses to read the date (I know, I sure as hell do). LOL
Another great Robert Zemeckis movie is Who Framed Roger Rabbit, it's an amazing piece of filmmaking!!! Also has Christopher Lloyd!
Some other great movies with Christopher Lloyd:
Clue
The Dream Team
The Addams Family movies
Camp Nowhere (this is one of those 90's "kids are in charge to the extremel" movies and the reviews are not good...but I always thought it was fun. Christopher Lloyd really gets to do some great characters! Also, Thomas F. Wilson (Biff) is in it too!)
Lloyd is always a team player, put in movies where he's never the lead but part of an ensemble, and usually the most memorable character (except Clue, EVERY actor in that movie was memorable and on fire in their roles!)
Crispin Glover is the actor who played George McFly, I think you misread the credits.
There are some other great time travel movies out there, some close to being as good as the Back to the Future movies but none are as good, and definitely not better!
Best Regards l
I love Who Framed Roger Rabbit!! the blending of 2d animation in the real world is so cool and also pretty revolutionary for its time I think.
I haven't seen any of those movie you mentioned but Clue is a movie I have really really wanted to watch for a while now
Dream Team is fun. Prime Michael Keaton.
Oscar>Clue
@@tempsitch5632 I'll give you Oscar = Clue...
Michael J. Fox did some cool Pepsi adverts in the mid 80s.
