Hey Buttheads! The Biff characters are by far my favourite, the actor does such a good job with them and they are all just so great!!

Yes, when Marty goes back home and grabs the can off the truck, Biff says “hey, Butthead!” before he realized that it was Marty. Funny how for a split second you could hear the old “bully Biff” come out, until he realized it was Marty, then his tone immediately went back to being humble and sheepish. The new Biff has a level of respect and fear of the McFly family ever since George decked him once back in high school. Just goes to show that bullies are truly cowards at heart.
@@VerowakReacts oh the movies are full of that stuff: the Two Pines Mall changes name to Lone Pine Mall because Marty hits and destroys one of the pines when he goes back to 1955 in the first movie. Im sure there is some compilation video on youtube of all those kinds of changes :)
You can watch these movies over and over and discover funny details: In 1985 Statler is selling Toyota cars, in 1885 "Honest Joe Statler" is selling horses.
They all fit perfectly together, as one long story. The first one is about Marty's parents, the second about Marty, and the third is for Doc. He's a selfless character, always helping others, and he deserved to finally get his own happiness.
At a certain point in the second movie there were four Delorean time machines present in 1955 at the same time. The original one, the one Biff came back in from the original 2015, the one Marty and Doc came back in from the altered 2015, and the one Doc went back to 1885 in.
I like how Marty is the one that said "great Scott" and then the Doc said "heavy". 😆 "I've wanted to do that all my life!", that sounds like it's from Polar Express. Maybe they got the quote in that movie from this. Doc could probably hear Clara because he was focused on her when she got his attention.
All of the buildings we visit are in the same locations regardless of time. For example, the 50s soda shop, Cafe 80's, and the saloon are all on the same plot of land.
The three men during the festival playing music and after the sheriff says come on let’s party those musicians spin the instruments they are 70/80’s rock trio ZZ TOP!
One of the side theories about these movies is that the reason Biff is always doing auto detailing is that when he was fixing his car after the crash scene in 1955 Biff discovered he liked working on cars, especially detailing them. This leads to him doing the detailing of cars in the movies.
Thomas F. Wilson, the actor who plays Biff wrote a song ("Stop Asking Me The Question") because people always kept asking him questions about BTTF. Look it up, it's really funny.
2:07 _The Time Machine_ (1960) and _Somewhere in Time_ (1980) are both great. P.S. I love pineapple juice, too. I had some on ice cream for dessert tonight! 😋
One nice touch in this movie is, at the dance, when Marty charges toward Buford and says, "Hey, lighten up, jerk!" Buford gives him a blank look and then turns back to his goons, like "What did he say??" They're just as confused, because no one's ever heard of a "jerk", or been told to "lighten up."
@Verowak Reacts It was, but the meaning was a little different. Up until the 1970s, a "dude" was basically an urbanite, wearing fancy clothes and having proper manners. "Dude ranches," where city folk could go to spend a week or a weekend horseback riding and living the cowboy life, were kind of popular for many years. Which brings to mind another movie you should watch: "City Slickers," in which Billy Crystal and two friends deal with their mid-life crises by joining a cattle drive.
Name changes are also a part of the repetitive theme in the trilogy. The name of the mall changes from Twin pines to Lone pine in the first one, the name on the matches from Biffs pleasure paradise to Biffs auto detailing in the second, and from Clayton ravine to Eastwood ravine in the third.
Ahh, I definitely didn't know about the homage, that's pretty neat! I also like how ZZ Top is in the movie, not something I would expect, but very fun nonetheless!
"I would like to know what year he's going to" The dialogue was meant to suggest that he's already "done" with time travel, the adjustments he made to the train were to allow for space travel, thus completing the aspirations which he gleaned from those novels.
(I also want to note that they stayed within the time travel aspect in everything that came out of the franchise afterwards, but if you're considering the trilogy on its own, we're meant to think that Doc and his family are going to space.)
During the first scene in the saloon, I'm not sure if you noticed, but when Buford said "What's your name, dude?", he doesn't really mouth the word "dude". In the blooper reel, it shows that Thomas F. Wilson (Buford) says "What's your name, pilgrim? Pilgrim? What am I, John Wayne?". He's referring to a word that John Wayne used in a lot of the westerns he starred in.
@@VerowakReacts I can't blame you for not catching it. You'd have to be paying attention to him a bit in order to do so. You'd probably have to know it's coming as well. 🙂
I’m watching this whilst wearing my back to the future 3 baseball cap from 1990!!!😂. We loved it as kids, great memories watching with my parents and other family 🙏
When Doc blows the train whistle, that wasn't scripted, that's why Marty has a more natural laugh. They kept it in the movie. One of my favorite lines, "100 years ago?? That's this year!!" I don't know why but I laugh every time.
Tom Wilson, who plays Biff in the movies, is outstanding. A fantastic performance, considering he is the nicest guy in real life :) Glad you enjoyed the trilogy :) One of the best ever written :)
Fun fact: 8:09 The 2 movie posters in this shot were for the first 2 movies Clint Eastwood was ever in. He had a bit part as a forgetful scientist in Revenge of the Creature (a sequel to Creature from the Black Lagoon) and as a jet squadron leader in Tarantula (about a giant tarantula). Both came out in 1955. Revenge of the Creature was the only film of 1955 to be shown in 3-D. That means it's possible that Biff's buddy in the 3-D glasses (the credits name him 3-D) probably got his glasses at that movie.
"Just give the kid to a random stranger". In Norway, that"s almost expected, and our kids run outside in the city alone. I assume the west was the same before it got completely corrupted.
In the scene where they are talking to the train driver. in the background, you can see the clock being offloaded from the train. Also, when they are looking at the map, you can see Clara in the background, waiting for Emmet to pick her up.
@@teddyj5187 No. When they're talking to the train conductor about how fast a train can go. Then they go look at the map and find a straight level stretch, and then save Clara from the ravine. Well before the festival.
That's the sign of a good trilogy when all three movies are so good that's it's hard to say that one is better than the others. I can't really choose a favorite, either. They're all great in their own way.
My favorite li’l bit of trivia I always like to pass along is the Ronald Reagan connection. When the first movie was screened for him at Camp David, Reagan asked the projectionist to replay the scene, “Ronald Reagan?? The *actor?!?*” as he found it hilarious. In the second movie, there was the Max Headroom-like Reagan appearance in the Cafe 80’s. For this movie, the producers contacted Reagan and asked him if he would consider coming out of (acting) retirement to play 1885’s mayor of Hill Valley. Reportedly, Reagan considered doing it, but his failing health prevented it.
Unfortunately, she probably doesn't know who Max Headroom is. That bit is lost on the younger generation that watches these movies. Max wasn't as timeless as BTTF.
@@VerowakReactsMax Headroom is probably better remembered (above all else) as someone who interrupted a broadcast on two Chicago TV stations back in 1987. The culprit was never identified.
@@VerowakReacts honestly mimiking movie lines with perfect tone replication was how I started to learn acting After that it evolved through roleplay i would do when brainstorming my book anthology
@31:14 One of the times I toured England with a band we rented a train to get between two cities. I don’t know why (probably because the deal was made by a train-enthusiast) but they gave us an antique English train. It was in perfect condition and the front engine was probably modern, but the carriages were high end antique. For the whole ride, at every street crossing or when the tracks went through the dense population (you could see ppl sitting in their homes from the train) everyone stopped and stared at our train like it was an alien spacecraft.
By the way, it warms the cockles of my heart when you spontaneously break into a grin when some thought crosses your mind or you find something funny. Just lovely spontaneity. ❤
Another easy-to-miss detail: When Doc and Marty "borrow" the locomotive, Doc's wearing a bandana fashioned from the 2015 shirt that he wore in the 2nd film. You can see the trains and indians in the fabric, though it's been faded over the past 8 months spent in 1885.
One thing that was fortuitous in this movie was ZZ Top showing up to the set on the very day of the dance scenes. Looking the way that they did, they were a natural fit to be in the band.
Wow, I never knew that Seamus was meant to be played by Crispin Glover, which makes perfect sense given that Seamus' wife Maggie is played by Leah Thompson. That would've been great, to have the same actor who played George help Marty overcome his character flaws the same way Marty helped George overcome his own in the first movie. I love Seamus as played by Michael J. Fox, but now I wish we'd gotten Crispin Glover's take on him.
$80 back then is the same as $2,622 today. If you have watched carefully, when Marty returns back to 1985, the riven is named "Eastwood Riven". Mary Steenburgen(Clara Clayton) was in a Time Travel movie in 1979, called *"Time After Time".* I recommend watchig Mary Steenburgen's first Time Travel Movie.
@@seantlewis376 Wrong movie. "Time After Time" starred Malcom McDowell as H.G. Wells who uses his Time Machine to travel to the future to catch Jack The Ripper. You're thinking of "Somewhere In Time"
Glad you found out during the comments about Eastwood Ravine-- I was waiting for your feedback to it and was frustrated you missed it during the reaction. And the term "butthead" didn't originate until 1973.
A couple notes: When 1955 Doc opens the door to his bathroom, you can see the clock that was mentioned in the first movie, in which he slipped and hit his head and thought of the flux capicator The reason its the deputy (and not Marshall Strickland) who arrests Tannen and his gang is because originally there was a scene where Buford murdered the Marshall and thats what he was being arrested for. But the scene was cut
The outfit that Doc dressed Marty in during 1955 is based on the clothes popular Roy Rogers wore in his "Western" television shows and movies in the 1950's and 60's.
7-11 is a convience store chain. Back in the 70's and 80's they usually had an area where old video game or pinball machines were at to keep young people busy so their parents could shop.
Fantastic reaction, you have so much character! One thing I love watching is the clip - search for " Marty McFly & Doc Brown Visit Jimmy Kimmel Live ", when they turn up on 21st Oct 2015 - the date they travelled to in the future. Great stuff!
I liked your comment about the lighting hitting the clock tower at exactly 10:04 and not half a minute later, because I have often thought the same thing.
that's why writing and words matter, Doc says in the first movie "precisely as it strikes" - they know precisely or they'd know the seconds because the clock has a second hand and it would have been noted
WHen Marty puts the door of the stove on his chest (and under his poncho) it is a direct reference to one of the Clint Eastwood "Spaghetti Western" trio of films. I won't say which one in case you haven't seen it, but they are... "A Fistful Of Dollars", "For A Few Dollars More" and "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly".
You question if the ravine is still named after Clara? But if you notice when Marty comes back to 1985 it's called Eastwood crossing. As is the ravine is Eastwood ravine
Before watching this trilogy, I couldn't understand how people can't have a favorite from a franchise. Now I completely get it! They're all so great together
40:20 If you look closely at the scene in which Marty re-appears in the present in 1985, just after he passes the finished bridge... on the right, there's a sign, and it reads: "Eastwood Ravine". It's just one of those hundreds of Easter eggs - logical changes due to Doc & Martys' travels - that you can find when re-watching those movies over and over again, like I do - and I always enjoy every minute of them! 🙂
When Marty arrives on the railroad tracks in the Delorean, there is a sign in the background identifying the ravine as "Eastwood Ravine", named for Marty's pseudonym.
I like how in the second movie Biff was watching a Clint Eastwood western movie and it showed the very scene where Clint made a bullet proof vest and here's Marty doing the exact same thing in this movie. I really liked and enjoyed watching your reaction to this movie.
The pictures in Doc's 1955 home are Isaac Newton, Ben Franklin, Thomas Edison, and Albert Einstein. Gasoline was a common household cleaning solvent in 1885. That's why the early internal combustion engines used it. But I guess it hadn't made it to the west coast yet?? The three cowboys and the bartender at the saloon were also voice actors in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", in which Christopher Lloyd starred as the villain. They were very popular character actors in westerns of the 1950s - 1970s.
Haven't yet quite gotten to which was your favorite. I've always said, the first was the OG, just because, when it first came out, it was just so original (saw it in the theater)...at first viewing, the second was great, but confusing. The third, very well might be my favorite. Going from 1985 to 1955 was great. From 1985 to 1885....wow! And just liked the mixing of the movie itself, with the time differences. Never was a big fan of old westerns, but this mix hit.
At the time this was made, it was the most realistic western town in a movie. And all the supporting actors are famous for their western roles, especially all the "old coots" at the saloon table.
One thing that doesn't get addressed but I think maybe supposed to be implied is that the events of this movie are what convinces the original Doc to repair Marty's letter and learn about his death in 1985. I'm thinking that by the time he's already learned so much about the future and nothing catastrophic results, he figures that whatever it was Marty was trying to tell him can't make that much more of a difference. Also just really fascinating to know that the first time you see doc in the first movie he already knows the entire story up to Marty going back to 1885 and is holding so much info back himself.
Since Marty walked in on Doc watching the video of the "experiment" in 1985, I think he saw or heard the shooting one of the times he watched it, and after Marty left he wavered back and forth until he pieced the letter together.
No. BTTF doesn't work that way. They actually change the past, so when Marty's parents are wimps Marty didn't go to the past, so Doc doesn't know the events that eventually happen. BTTF 1 Doc only knows the one timeline where he's never met Marty's parents nor Marty in the past, at least at the beginning.
7- eleven was a gas station and food\drink business... Inside they also had Arcade machines for the kids, and Hogan's alley or DuckHunt would be among them. "shooting game"
With this said I love all 3 because without part 2 you wouldn't know why 3 existed. And although I like part 2, I love part 3 better and part 3 can't exist without part 2. But my favorite is part one because it could have. I waited 4 years for the others. 1985 and 1989 when they made both, more or less at the same time
14:08 Oops this is where the story fell apart. The writers did not take into consideration that Doc buried the DeLorean. Instead of using the Delorean from 1955 they should have used the one that the doc buried, it's newer because it hasn't been sitting in a mine for 70 years like the one Marty drove BACK to 1885. PLUS It doesn't have a torn gas line.
Doc: "No wonder this circuit failed. It says 'made in Japan'." In 1955 (and for quite a few years yet to come), Japan was known for making extraordinarily cheap electronics that weren't very reliable. I'm pretty sure it was only in the mid- to late-70s that Sony, et al., really started to up their game.
Great reaction! I like to think of this trilogy as one long movie. It's beautiful. I saw all of these in theaters when they originally came out. Trust me, it was excruciating to wait between episodes. One underrated, yet awesome movie with Michael J Fox is "Doc Hollywood". Please check it out. Thanks....
I can imagine how hard it was to wait between movies! That's often the case, but at least they filmed 2 and 3 at the same time, so the wait wasn't as long
At the 2022 Governors Awards, Fox was awarded the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for his efforts in fighting Parkinson's, having raised over $1 billion for research.[84][85] The award was presented by friend Woody Harrelson. Fox has had Parkinson's Diseas since 1991
Did you know that the band playing the music while Doc & Clara danced was a real band called ZZ TOP. Did you notice the sign next to the tracks at the end? It said Eastwood Ravine so it was named after Marty instead of Clara. With all of your videos that I've enjoyed watching over the last few days, I think that I'm hooked on watching and wanting to watch more. Lol I really enjoy watching. I don't know if you have ever watched the Robin Williams movie called "Hook" that Steven Spielberg directed but if you haven't then I would like to suggest watching it. I think you'll like it
It's fair, and it's great that different reactors react differently :D Some are more serious, more funny, more emotional... that's the joy of different reactors
It wasn't in your clips but when *Marty's* getting shot at & does the *Moonwalk* that's not *Michael J Fox* it's *Michael Winslow* the man of *10,000* sound effects from the *Police Academy* movies *Spaceballs* Etc.
Look up Tom Wilson “the question song”. The guy who played all the tannens is a stand up comedian now and does this music number in his routine so they can save time during his meet and greets after
I experienced love at first sight. I managed to get the girl too. Sadly she hadn't experienced the same thing and after a few months left me. Turned my heart to stone. That was more than 40 years ago. Oh well
Great reaction! Thank you!!! This is the only trilogy where I simply couldn’t tell which part was my favorite … like I said before - the whole value shows only if watching all 3 of them. I see you like watching comedies … I suggest “Just Visiting” - it has lots of comedy and a little touch of time travel. Looking forward to your next reaction. Salutations from Romania …
The accent the McFly family uses in this movie is not southern American, it's Irish, where Marty's ancestors came from. McFly is an Irish name. Tannen is using a southern accent, though. Another fun fact: the bulletproof metal Marty uses in this movie to hit "Mad dog" with, appeared in the second movie on TV in the second movie, when Biff was in the hot-tub with the girls...
A couple of other classic over the top movies are HOWARD THE DUCK also with Lea Thompson which so happens to be the first ever Marvel Movie and made with George Lucas help and THE WRAITH with Charlie Sheen. Awesome campiness
Good reaction. And to answer your curiosity regarding other projects that the cast did after this movie, it should be easy since a few of them were A-list actors during the 1990s and into the 2000s. Lea Thompson (who played his mother 'Lorraine') was A-list actress, especially during the 1990s. She had her own sitcom on NBC ('Caroline In The City' which was affiliated with the TV show 'Friends' --- they were in the same universe). And I think she currently has a series on Hallmark Channel. Elisabeth Shue who played Marty's girlfriend 'Jennifer' in part 2 and part 3 was also an A-list actress during the 1990s into the 2000s, but more so with movies. And she still acts today. She was actually in a few movies prior to Back To The Future 2. And of course Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox are well-known in the business.
Hey Buttheads! The Biff characters are by far my favourite, the actor does such a good job with them and they are all just so great!! Thank you for joining this adventure, and I look forward to more with you!

Who you calling butthead butthead
in a sense , the delorian is a character all its own
"Does this mean he has to kill her?" 🤣... *Doc throws Clara into the ravine, shouting "FOR SCIEEEEENCE!"*
It would fix the timeline he messed up 😂
🤣🤣 smash-cut to ZZ Top doing their synchronized point and wave toward the ravine as "Double Back" starts to play.
One of the small jokes that are easy to miss - when Marty appears on the track in 1985, there's small sign "Eastwood Ravine".

All of the buildings we visit are in the same locations regardless of time. For example, the 50s soda shop, Cafe 80's, and the saloon are all on the same plot of land.
That's what I love about this movie, it's the same setting just different times and the same locations are visited :D

Biff plays an homage to Lee Marvin from the movie " The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance " down to the hand whip. Also, the band at the dance is ZZ Top.

When the first movie was screened for him at Camp David, Reagan asked the projectionist to replay the scene, “Ronald Reagan?? The *actor?!?*” as he found it hilarious. In the second movie, there was the Max Headroom-like Reagan appearance in the Cafe 80’s.
For this movie, the producers contacted Reagan and asked him if he would consider coming out of (acting) retirement to play 1885’s mayor of Hill Valley. Reportedly, Reagan considered doing it, but his failing health prevented it.
That';s so fun! I love trivia like this. It would have been pretty crazy and great if he was able to be the mayor of Hill Valley in 1885
Unfortunately, she probably doesn't know who Max Headroom is. That bit is lost on the younger generation that watches these movies. Max wasn't as timeless as BTTF.
@@jkhoover Definitely never heard of Max Headroom :/
@@VerowakReactsMax Headroom is probably better remembered (above all else) as someone who interrupted a broadcast on two Chicago TV stations back in 1987. The culprit was never identified.
any time i use the phrase "[he's] an asshole" I always say it the way Marty delivers the line
That's awesome!! I love saying a phrase like someone does in a movie I love!!
@@VerowakReacts honestly mimiking movie lines with perfect tone replication was how I started to learn acting
After that it evolved through roleplay i would do when brainstorming my book anthology
@@MegumiMary Trying to mimic delivery and accents helps a lot for acting!
@31:14 One of the times I toured England with a band we rented a train to get between two cities. I don’t know why (probably because the deal was made by a train-enthusiast) but they gave us an antique English train. It was in perfect condition and the front engine was probably modern, but the carriages were high end antique. For the whole ride, at every street crossing or when the tracks went through the dense population (you could see ppl sitting in their homes from the train) everyone stopped and stared at our train like it was an alien spacecraft.
15:42 I’ve cracked that joke, too! You’re my soulmate! 🥰
Oh BttF, so many great quotes and jokes!
“Eastwood Ravine” sign on the level crossing 1985😂
By the way, it warms the cockles of my heart when you spontaneously break into a grin when some thought crosses your mind or you find something funny. Just lovely spontaneity. ❤
I'm trying to share more what crosses my mind at those points 😁
"The mall's name changes from Twin Pines Mall to Lone Pine Mall after Marty drives over one of Old Man Peabody's pines."
Another easy-to-miss detail:
When Doc and Marty "borrow" the locomotive, Doc's wearing a bandana fashioned from the 2015 shirt that he wore in the 2nd film. You can see the trains and indians in the fabric, though it's been faded over the past 8 months spent in 1885.
Definitely not something I would ever pick up on first watch through :D But that's so neat!
One thing that was fortuitous in this movie was ZZ Top showing up to the set on the very day of the dance scenes. Looking the way that they did, they were a natural fit to be in the band.
@40:20 I guess you missed that the sign says Eastwood Ravine when Marty returns from 1885.
Definitely missed that when I was watching lol
Now you need to watch the 3 Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns to get the references to his movies.
Wow, I never knew that Seamus was meant to be played by Crispin Glover, which makes perfect sense given that Seamus' wife Maggie is played by Leah Thompson. That would've been great, to have the same actor who played George help Marty overcome his character flaws the same way Marty helped George overcome his own in the first movie. I love Seamus as played by Michael J. Fox, but now I wish we'd gotten Crispin Glover's take on him.
It definitely makes sense, and I didn't love Marty as Seamus but it would have been near to have Crispin Glover's take for sure
What I missed a dozen times: when Marty and Doc are talking to the train engineer, Clara is in the background 😜
$80 back then is the same as $2,622 today.
If you have watched carefully, when Marty returns back to 1985, the riven is named "Eastwood Riven".
Mary Steenburgen(Clara Clayton) was in a Time Travel movie in 1979, called *"Time After Time".* I recommend watchig Mary Steenburgen's first Time Travel Movie.
$300 in 1955 to fix Biffs car is about $3000 today. So roughly the same amount in all 3 instances
I absolutely *loved* Time After Time! I still enjoy it occasionally today. Christopher Reeve did it between Superman movies.
@@seantlewis376 Wrong movie. "Time After Time" starred Malcom McDowell as H.G. Wells who uses his Time Machine to travel to the future to catch Jack The Ripper.
You're thinking of "Somewhere In Time"
@@seantlewis376 Christopher Reeve was in SOMEWHERE IN TIME. The movie TIME AFTER TIME starred Malcolm McDowell.
@@Ernie_Centofantiit's where he and Mary met and subsequently were married for a few years, too. 👍
Glad you found out during the comments about Eastwood Ravine-- I was waiting for your feedback to it and was frustrated you missed it during the reaction. And the term "butthead" didn't originate until 1973.
A couple notes:
When 1955 Doc opens the door to his bathroom, you can see the clock that was mentioned in the first movie, in which he slipped and hit his head and thought of the flux capicator
The reason its the deputy (and not Marshall Strickland) who arrests Tannen and his gang is because originally there was a scene where Buford murdered the Marshall and thats what he was being arrested for. But the scene was cut
About Time is a good time -traveling romance movie.
Great Scott!
If you look closely you find Doc's shirt in the Drive-in and his mask when borrowing the train are the same cloth.
Ooh I missed that but love the detail;
The outfit that Doc dressed Marty in during 1955 is based on the clothes popular Roy Rogers wore in his "Western" television shows and movies in the 1950's and 60's.
7-11 is a convience store chain. Back in the 70's and 80's they usually had an area where old video game or pinball machines were at to keep young people busy so their parents could shop.
One of the best trilogies 💜💜
Can definitely agree with that!
Christopher Lloyd can be enjoyed in Who Framed Roger Rabbit as Judge Doom 😂😂 And in Addams Family (1991) and the sequel (1993) as Fester ❤❤
Fantastic reaction, you have so much character! One thing I love watching is the clip - search for " Marty McFly & Doc Brown Visit Jimmy Kimmel Live ", when they turn up on 21st Oct 2015 - the date they travelled to in the future. Great stuff!
I didn't know they did that, I'll have to look at it!
Imagine the series taking a dark turn and Doc has to kill Clara to fix the time line. 😂
Clearly I'm not used to happy endings in movies 😂
I liked your comment about the lighting hitting the clock tower at exactly 10:04 and not half a minute later, because I have often thought the same thing.
I know, right? Lucky it was exactly at 10:04 lol
that's why writing and words matter, Doc says in the first movie
"precisely as it strikes" - they know precisely or they'd know the seconds because the clock has a second hand and it would have been noted
WHen Marty puts the door of the stove on his chest (and under his poncho) it is a direct reference to one of the Clint Eastwood "Spaghetti Western" trio of films. I won't say which one in case you haven't seen it, but they are... "A Fistful Of Dollars", "For A Few Dollars More" and "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly".
We see the scene of Clint Eastwood having his 'bulletproof' vest in the second movie when Biff is in the hot tub :D
Thank you for reacting this amazing trilogy one of my favorites. Michael J. Fox as marty and Christopher Lloyd as doc brown iconic characters😊😊👍👍
I'm so glad so many people recommended it!! It was such a great trilogy
@@VerowakReacts 👍👍👍
An movie suggestion would be *(Who Framed Roger Rabbit) Christopher Lloyd* plays the totally different Character from *Emmett Doc Brown*
You question if the ravine is still named after Clara? But if you notice when Marty comes back to 1985 it's called Eastwood crossing. As is the ravine is Eastwood ravine
I missed that, so I'll have to rewatch the movies!!
i don't have a favorite. i love this trilogy as a whole
Before watching this trilogy, I couldn't understand how people can't have a favorite from a franchise. Now I completely get it! They're all so great together
40:20 If you look closely at the scene in which Marty re-appears in the present in 1985, just after he passes the finished bridge... on the right, there's a sign, and it reads: "Eastwood Ravine".
It's just one of those hundreds of Easter eggs - logical changes due to Doc & Martys' travels - that you can find when re-watching those movies over and over again, like I do - and I always enjoy every minute of them! 🙂
Wait, you thought Doc's plan involved killing everyone on the train? 😂
No no, just Clara somehow haha
When Marty arrives on the railroad tracks in the Delorean, there is a sign in the background identifying the ravine as "Eastwood Ravine", named for Marty's pseudonym.
I like how in the second movie Biff was watching a Clint Eastwood western movie and it showed the very scene where Clint made a bullet proof vest and here's Marty doing the exact same thing in this movie. I really liked and enjoyed watching your reaction to this movie.
In the 80’s when the trilogy takes place,7 -11 was a chain of gas stations/convenience stores all over the United States!
FYI you see the Ravine was named Eastwood Ravine when Marty first arrives back in 1985, well technically it's before the Delorean reappears.
The pictures in Doc's 1955 home are Isaac Newton, Ben Franklin, Thomas Edison, and Albert Einstein.
Gasoline was a common household cleaning solvent in 1885. That's why the early internal combustion engines used it. But I guess it hadn't made it to the west coast yet??
The three cowboys and the bartender at the saloon were also voice actors in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", in which Christopher Lloyd starred as the villain. They were very popular character actors in westerns of the 1950s - 1970s.
The ravine was called Eastwood ravine because they thought Marty died in the train crash so they thought Clint Eastwood died 😜
Haven't yet quite gotten to which was your favorite. I've always said, the first was the OG, just because, when it first came out, it was just so original (saw it in the theater)...at first viewing, the second was great, but confusing. The third, very well might be my favorite. Going from 1985 to 1955 was great. From 1985 to 1885....wow! And just liked the mixing of the movie itself, with the time differences. Never was a big fan of old westerns, but this mix hit.
I don't think I can pick a favorite, they are all 3 great for different reasons.
At the time this was made, it was the most realistic western town in a movie. And all the supporting actors are famous for their western roles, especially all the "old coots" at the saloon table.
I don't know much about Westerns so it's even more fun that the supporting actors are famous for their western roles!!
in the scene where Doc's children are on screen, his son Verne points to an easter egg, you have to watch the scene again to spot it
I'll watch out for it on the rewatch, thanks!
BTTF, Star Wars, Rocky…. best movie series from my childhood.
My childhood movies are the ones from 1995+ approximately 😄
Indiana Jones???
One thing that doesn't get addressed but I think maybe supposed to be implied is that the events of this movie are what convinces the original Doc to repair Marty's letter and learn about his death in 1985. I'm thinking that by the time he's already learned so much about the future and nothing catastrophic results, he figures that whatever it was Marty was trying to tell him can't make that much more of a difference. Also just really fascinating to know that the first time you see doc in the first movie he already knows the entire story up to Marty going back to 1885 and is holding so much info back himself.
Since Marty walked in on Doc watching the video of the "experiment" in 1985, I think he saw or heard the shooting one of the times he watched it, and after Marty left he wavered back and forth until he pieced the letter together.
No. BTTF doesn't work that way. They actually change the past, so when Marty's parents are wimps Marty didn't go to the past, so Doc doesn't know the events that eventually happen. BTTF 1 Doc only knows the one timeline where he's never met Marty's parents nor Marty in the past, at least at the beginning.
7- eleven was a gas station and food\drink business... Inside they also had Arcade machines for the kids, and Hogan's alley or DuckHunt would be among them. "shooting game"
Did you notice the band at the dance was ZZ Top!
I definitely did not. I know maybe 1 zz top song 😱
Just found your channel and watched the Die Hard reaction and all three Back to the Future's, and wanted to say I really liked your reactions!
I'm glad you're enjoying the reactions! And welcome ❤
'Density, you say?'... cute callback.
I had to 😂
33:45 "Your future is whatever you _make_ it. So make it a _good_ one."
And there's the moral of the story.
With this said I love all 3 because without part 2 you wouldn't know why 3 existed. And although I like part 2, I love part 3 better and part 3 can't exist without part 2. But my favorite is part one because it could have. I waited 4 years for the others. 1985 and 1989 when they made both, more or less at the same time
This is the perfect way to wrap up the trillogy
14:08 Oops this is where the story fell apart. The writers did not take into consideration that Doc buried the DeLorean. Instead of using the Delorean from 1955 they should have used the one that the doc buried, it's newer because it hasn't been sitting in a mine for 70 years like the one Marty drove BACK to 1885. PLUS It doesn't have a torn gas line.
I love the whole Trilogy, I think 1 and 3 are my favorites and 2 is great for just the sheer amount of time travel happening.
All three are so fun! It's nice that they all were similar yet had such differences for each movie
Doc: "No wonder this circuit failed. It says 'made in Japan'."
In 1955 (and for quite a few years yet to come), Japan was known for making extraordinarily cheap electronics that weren't very reliable. I'm pretty sure it was only in the mid- to late-70s that Sony, et al., really started to up their game.
Great reaction! I like to think of this trilogy as one long movie. It's beautiful. I saw all of these in theaters when they originally came out. Trust me, it was excruciating to wait between episodes. One underrated, yet awesome movie with Michael J Fox is "Doc Hollywood". Please check it out. Thanks....
I can imagine how hard it was to wait between movies! That's often the case, but at least they filmed 2 and 3 at the same time, so the wait wasn't as long
@@VerowakReacts True, but it was still tough. I'm a subscriber now for life. You crack me up for sure!

Did you know that the band playing the music while Doc & Clara danced was a real band called ZZ TOP. Did you notice the sign next to the tracks at the end? It said Eastwood Ravine so it was named after Marty instead of Clara. With all of your videos that I've enjoyed watching over the last few days, I think that I'm hooked on watching and wanting to watch more. Lol I really enjoy watching. I don't know if you have ever watched the Robin Williams movie called "Hook" that Steven Spielberg directed but if you haven't then I would like to suggest watching it. I think you'll like it
Of all the reactions to this movie I've watched, you've definitely had the smartest observations (no offense to the others)
It's fair, and it's great that different reactors react differently :D Some are more serious, more funny, more emotional... that's the joy of different reactors
the stove door for a bullet proof vest is from an actual Clint Eastwood movie
I'll not tell which one so it's maybe a surprise
Biff was watching this exact scene in the alternate 1985
It wasn't in your clips but when *Marty's* getting shot at & does the *Moonwalk* that's not *Michael J Fox* it's *Michael Winslow* the man of *10,000* sound effects from the *Police Academy* movies *Spaceballs* Etc.
I have no idea who Michael Winslow is. I did assume it wasn't Michael J Fox though lol
It's called "Eastwood ravine" now. See @31:07
@Verowak_Reacts. Dude, are you bored or something? Everybody knows it's a scam and identity theft. Eff off!
Look up Tom Wilson “the question song”. The guy who played all the tannens is a stand up comedian now and does this music number in his routine so they can save time during his meet and greets after
I experienced love at first sight. I managed to get the girl too.
Sadly she hadn't experienced the same thing and after a few months left me.
Turned my heart to stone. That was more than 40 years ago. Oh well
That's a bummer when things don't work out 😢
that was not love
Great reaction! Thank you!!! This is the only trilogy where I simply couldn’t tell which part was my favorite … like I said before - the whole value shows only if watching all 3 of them. I see you like watching comedies … I suggest “Just Visiting” - it has lots of comedy and a little touch of time travel. Looking forward to your next reaction. Salutations from Romania …
The accent the McFly family uses in this movie is not southern American, it's Irish, where Marty's ancestors came from. McFly is an Irish name. Tannen is using a southern accent, though. Another fun fact: the bulletproof metal Marty uses in this movie to hit "Mad dog" with, appeared in the second movie on TV in the second movie, when Biff was in the hot-tub with the girls...
A couple of other classic over the top movies are HOWARD THE DUCK also with Lea Thompson which so happens to be the first ever Marvel Movie and made with George Lucas help and THE WRAITH with Charlie Sheen. Awesome campiness
Good reaction. And to answer your curiosity regarding other projects that the cast did after this movie, it should be easy since a few of them were A-list actors during the 1990s and into the 2000s. Lea Thompson (who played his mother 'Lorraine') was A-list actress, especially during the 1990s. She had her own sitcom on NBC ('Caroline In The City' which was affiliated with the TV show 'Friends' --- they were in the same universe). And I think she currently has a series on Hallmark Channel.
Elisabeth Shue who played Marty's girlfriend 'Jennifer' in part 2 and part 3 was also an A-list actress during the 1990s into the 2000s, but more so with movies. And she still acts today. She was actually in a few movies prior to Back To The Future 2. And of course Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox are well-known in the business.
Caroline In The City is not in the Friends universe. Mad About You and Seinfeld are.
