saw it in the theater with my mom and the tv marketing was a trailer that just showed the Delorean with heavy fog and Marty getting out of it...as a kid I had zero idea what the movie was about and thought my mother was taking me to a scary sci-fi movie. Instead, I had the time of my life.
Fox and Lloyd's chemistry really sells these movies. We simply don't question why a teenage skateboarder and an elderly scientist would hang out with seemingly no friends their own age, we just bought it.
Believe it or not, there was a time when young people could navigate the world around them without there being "predators around every corner". I for one am an old person who enjoys the company of young people, without it being predatory or inappropriate. However, conventional stereotypes in the media create a such a prevalence of fear, young people avoid old people, and both are diminished for it. We all have things to learn from each other. Blessed Bee.
4:10 the judge is Huey Lewis himself, ie. the singer who wrote and performs "The Power of Love" and "Back in Time". What's funny to me is that the cameo was so well done that many reactors are like, "what does that nerdy teacher know about music, just look at him" and it's literally his own song
Huey Lewis cassettes were my first real music when I was 8. I was a big fan, not so much in my teens when being cool was more important than what you like, but now at the cusp of middle age, I'm back Huey Lewis and the News is great.
This is probably one of the few movies where a second time watch can still be as exciting as the first, noticing all the things that were missed the first time around.
I've seen this movie so many times and just watched this reaction and it was the first time I noticed the news paper clip in the beginning saying Dr. Brown's mansion was destroyed
41:21 "Will they remember Marty?" Yes they would remember Marty, BUT based on my personal experience it is very probable that they WON'T remember his face! When I was 47 years old (George and Lorraine's age in 1985) I couldn't remember the face of the girlfriend that I had back when I was 18 years old. So it is quite plausible that George and Lorraine would not remember the face of a kid that they knew for only a few days back 30 years ago.
Totally agreed. I'm 43 now. Now, remembering someone important I met for a week when I was 13? Or even 18. Hardly. I have trouble recollecting the exact face of my classmates, and I've been in school with them for years. Also, when your see your kid grow up, you will never realise what he grows up to, you see his face day by day. You might, maybe, joke a little bit how he looks similar to somebody you used to know. But even those realisations usually only happen when you find and old family photos (oh, look, when he was a kid, grandpa Bill looked almost like your cousin Ted now). Memory is a strange ability. It works tricks.
@@glowface79 yeah, specially since they don't have a photo of '55 Marty, they may even joke about what a funny coincidence it is they they named their son after this guy and he turned out to also kinda look like him
That's possible, but I remember the faces of most of the girls I had crushes on back in the day, then again I don't know that I would recognize them today if I saw them.
Such an iconic trilogy, the first movie is definitely my favourite. I love how Tom Wilson is a genuinely nice guy, and drew his experiences of playing Biff from BEING bullied himself.
Being a nice guy has reasonable limits, though, and Eric Stoltz almost found out what happens when you pass that limit due to his "method acting" behavior in the role of Marty becoming insufferably irritating during the original production. Before that could happen, the deal with MJF managed to be sorted out and they replaced Stoltz. Probably lucky for Eric that happened before Tom was completely fed up with him.
@@0okamino which still makes me glad that Eric Stoltz is not part of BTTF anymore. I could never find Marty likeable and BTTF iconic had it not been been for Michael J Fox’s natural humorous portrayal and his dynamics with Christopher Lloyd.
Fox did play the guitar, he had a lot of lessons to play Johnny B Goode, he was avid at skateboarding too but sadly come the sequel the Parkinsons was showing signs that made it harder for him to perform both In another note, the judge who tells Marty he's 'too damn loud' near the start of the movie is in fact Huey Lewis, lead singer of Huey Lewis and the News who wrote the song he was playing
Coldplay had a concert in New York and Fox joined them on stage and played on TH-cam videos. Fox has also played at his Fox Foundation parties with TH-cam videos available to watch.
@@dannybob42 Wrong, dumbass. Parkinson's NEVER prevented him from doing anything in all three films, dipshit. Not sure where you got this FALSE info, but it isn't true at all, dumbass, but yes Michael did in fact play guitar and learned the song note for note.
Having grown up in the '50's, when I saw this movie when it first came out in '85, it was so fascinating to see how the movie got just about every nuance right about that era (and how the gradual changes we had missed had added up). In the '50's, atomic warfare was simply a matter of time, when, not if. (Scary time to live then in that regard.) So the doc is imagining Marty is returning from the other side of this war - hence references to how the earth's gravity might have changed. Wearing a vest like Marty and yes, everyone would think you were in the Coast Guard. The first presidential debate between Nixon and Kennedy was five years in the future and in '55, the power of tv was still so underestimated - and seeing "a tv studio in a unit" like a video camera would have been unbelievable. Even by '85, the idea of national politics being played out in front of network cameras was a radical change from '55. In 1985, many people were in shock that a B movie actor like Reagan had been could become president. Jerry Lewis as vice president - Lewis played this annoying whiny goofy guy. Jack Benny's whole shtick revolved around him being tight about money. Workers like gas station attendants did have to wear a uniform - a bow tie was the equivalent of the universal full tie but without dangling ends which could get tangled in moving machinery. There was no such thing as self-serve gas and when a car pulled into a chain service station like a Texaco, your car was fussed over by several people who rushed out to provide service (which is why gas stations were also called service stations). You might notice that Lorraine actually preserves the social norms of '55 - she doesn't ask Marty to the dance, she asks HIM to ask HER (but still very forward and not the type of demure young lady she thought of herself when she remembered her teenage years). By '85, there had been a wholesale abandonment of the the classic downtown of the '50's (some of it's vitality has come back although more has simply been torn down). In the '85 version of Hill Valley, the downtown had been given over to marginal businesses like a porn theater (later a church when Marty returned). Teenagers in '55 flocked to malt shops which in '85 housed a cardio class center (which normally does not need storefront windows). Other buildings were depicted as abandoned. Finally in '55, the Civil Rights movement had just started (Brown v. Board of Education had only been decided the year before). The concept of actual full equality still lagged, even among many of the early supporters. In '55, the idea a black man could carry enough white votes to win in a non-black area was as unconceivable as being rich and having two televisions - or even wanting a second television, there not being that much programming yet. (However, the movie producers - and society in general - could not conceive in '85 a black man could become president, even though if Marty and Doc travelled ahead 30 years, that is exactly what they would have found.)
Thanks for all this insight!! As someone who didn't grow up in the 50s or the 80s I love hearing all this contrast and history. My favorite line in this movie is when Doc goes "Ronald Reagan? The ACTOR?" I knew Ronald Reagan as a president, I think this movie was when I learned he was an actor before that. It's also good to hear they got the 50s down right, it looks like it was a wonderful time to grow up in.
@@bookworm598 No, the '50's were not a wonderful time to live - some things were better, some worse. Living in any period, one rarely appreciates the time for some of the good things nor notices the bad things. If I could travel back to any time, I'd run to the nearest science fiction (like the great Isaac Asimov) and tell him all the things coming up and the knowledge we know that he ponders - like feathered dinosaurs being active, not sluggish, colorful, and killed by a 6-mile comet, all about DNA, or the internet which even the producers of this movie didn't see coming when they featured a visit to 2015). But a lot would be infuriating such as how things we can't image as being important - who can sit at what lunch counter, or the front or rear of the bus, or the constant token black man in a movie whose only function to the story is to provide "comedic" relief by rolling his eyes at the first sign of danger. In the '50's, we lived with the "certain" knowledge a global nuclear war was in our future, we just didn't know when. Everyone smoked (they didn't get that right in this movie but say, watch the Godfather). Sure, it would be nice to drive into a service station and be instantly attended to by half-a-dozen men but on the other hand, how would you like that to be your job, cleaning the windshields of every car? Many middle-class families had at least a maid/cook, but again, think of HER life, trying to balance her job with taking care of her own family. Many people's were low-paying enough so that other people could afford their labor. ----- The most important thing I like to emphasize is that whatever time one lives in (or multiple time periods by us older), if you aren't a time traveler, you see so many customs as just natural and think they are universal throughout time. If the Lorraine of '55 could see ahead a few decades, she'd be shocked by thinking a girl could ask a boy out. The idea of premarital sex was so taboo at the time - it would be hard to get across to you how much so - but Victorians would be just as shocked as Lorraine - including her showing her legs or even talking out loud about how a boy was a "dream boat." There are inscriptions from the ancient Greeks about how the younger generation was going to ruin. Every generation thinks their music is the best and the older people think the newest music is just ear-splitting noise. Thinks like this seem to stay the same. Even now, if I look at pictures of life say c. 1960's - including photos of me back then - I can't understand how I didn't gag at the time making an effort to look that way. However, over time, what was fashionable becomes old-fashion and so-funny, then with more time, fashionably old and respectable in retrospect.
You know how you can tell this iconic movie is one of the best movies ever made? The fact that it’s still able to entertain and hook us after all these years. Seriously, IT. NEVER. GETS. OLD!
I've seen this movie hundreds of times and never caught the line where Marty points at the Doc in his radiation suit and says "Is that a Devo suit?" lol
I first saw this film around 2010 when I bought a vhs copy from a church community yardsale. Also I love the tiny attention to detail like when you first see the mall it is called Twin Pine Mall, but after Marty goes back in time and runs over one of the trees. You see when he goes back to the future it is now called Lone Pine Mall.
So Netflix has a special called, “The Movies That Made Us” talks about Back To The Future, Aliens, Forrest Gump, and etc. In the Back To The Future one it talked about: a half-baked idea with two new filming graduates (Bob Zemeckis and Bob Gale), the movie was almost called “A Spaceman From Pluto” due to the production company official (who changed Marty’s mom’s name to his own wife’s name but it was kept in the movie), they had to fire the original Marty actor bec he was taking his role too seriously, and Michael J Fox had to film his iconic role in the “Family Ties” tv show during the day, and act in Back To The Future at night. He was very sleep deprived and only slept during the trip it takes in the car to set to set, and he was originally very apologetic when his agent called him up after Back To The Future was released, but he found out that it was a Box Office Hit instead of a Box Office Flop. The movie was thought to be a flop in test audiences, but it was mostly due to the fact that people thought Einstein died. After they learned that the dog was fine, their tone changed & they loved the movie. The parking lot scene was actually shot at an LA mall parking lot, that is still open today.
Michael J Fox ruled the movie world for a certain period of time. He has the likeable personality that translates well at the box office. He had a great run there. He’s quite an extrodinary man. Life challenged him and he answered the bell. He’s an inspiration to us all. And hey, it’s a great movie.
What is so weird is that going back 30 years today would be going to 1992. Which doesnt seem like that long ago, at least culturally. Like sure tech and stuff has changed since then but it doesnt seem so bizarre as the difference between the 50's and the 80's.
Eh i wouldnt say that... as someone that was born late 70's, childhood in the 80's, a teen in the early 90's and with my 20's straddling the end of the 90's and early 00's... each decade was noticeably different from the next, my parents were from the 40's and my brothers were in the early 60's... So i had interaction with people and items, memories from all those decades. The time now, is not as different as say the early 00's (there are some), but compared to the 90's its about as different in most ways as 85 was to 55. No internet (as we know it), no social media, no reality TV, no flat screens, CDs uncommon tapes still a thing, numerous music genres were new, CGI was in its infancy, PC's and consoles were just beginning their rise in popularity and the tech for them was rapidly beginning to advance compared to the decade prior. Cellphones were still a rare site, Clothing fashions and even language was quite different. I miss the 90's so much...
I would have to totally agree - the changes between 1955 and '85 were profound on a different level than say '85 and 2015, or 1935 and '55. A major change was due to the rise of the personal automobile. In '55, it was just starting to affect things - teenagers getting their own cars rather than just being able to use the family auto meant things like fast-food, drive-in shopping, and malls outside the downtown (which drained the vitality of the downtown). One of the best books I think on the subject is "The Geography of Nowhere" by James Kunstler, who starts off by explaining why "Who Famed Roger Rabbit?" is based on a true story (the collusion of auto-related companies to buy up and put out of business all the local privately-owned trolley car companies in favor of an automobile-based society.
@@NZBigfoot *2001's, stupid fuck! It's STILL early 2000s, dumbass. Will be until 2500. 2000s is a millennium, not a decade, fucking dumbass! ....and the original comment is right, don't correct them, dumbass.
The teacher who said Marty was too loud was the singer who performed the song “Power of Love” so with Marty performing that at the audition it’s ironic. The guy who played Biff is actually a really nice guy and kept apologizing to Lea (the actress for Lorraine ) and kept making sure she still felt comfortable enough to continue the scene when they filmed the r@^* scene
Michael J Fox does play guitar in this. He's even played with the band Coldplay on stage. Michael J Fox made fun movies to watch. I enjoyed Secrets of My Success and Doc Hollywood as well.
When Marty arrives to the mall it's named Twin Pines Mall, but after driving over old Peabody's pine, when returning to the mall, the name is Lone Pine Mall.
I remember watching this movie back in January of 2008 and instantly falling in love with this movie. Right away, it became my Number 1 Favorite Film of All Time, and it still is to this day.
Michael J. Fox was doing the TV show Family Ties at the same time he was filming this. For two months, 10:00 am - 6:00 pm rehearsing for Family Ties, then off to the Back to The Future set until 2:30 am
As I recall, there were stretches of time where Fox's character, Alex P. Keaton, was written out as being away at college or on a trip during the filming of these movies. Perhaps both are true?
@@clash5j Wrong, dumbass. Fox said he only got three hours sleep, so your time doesn't add up at all. He got to the set of family ties way earlier than 10 am, fucking dumbass.
I don’t know if you guys noticed, but at first they were at the TWIN PINES MALL, and when Marty comes back it’s LONE PINE MALL cause he ran over one of them when he traveled to the past. WARNING for the next movie, stop it when the movie’s over because it gives you a sneak peek fort the third one, like a little trailer. Love your reactions! 🤗
9:42 I love that people always ask if the Dog alright first. Thank you for the reaction. So much nostalgia. I saw this movie in 1989 first time and had crush on M.J.Fox so much😊
another reactor watched this, and his remark at the beginning was, "It was a simpler time in 1985..." to which I replied, "And in 1985, that's exactly what we thought of 1955!"
It still shocks me when peeps are only watching this for the first time… it’s one of these movies that you assume everyone has watched lol !!! Such a great movie that I would happily watch over and over again for the rest of my life
I saw this when it was first released in a drive-in theater. One of those old drive-in metal speakers latched on the window, moon and stars overhead, and the whole lot filled with cars. Magical stuff for an 8 year old.
This is definitely one of those movie series that I had to question myself on why I waited so long to watch them. Phenomenal movies that is worth rewatching over and over
Fun fact, at the talent show, the song they were playing was by Huey Lewis and the News. The judge that told them they were too darn loud was actually Huey Lewis. It was a nice treat for the fans at the time. It wasn’t something that you saw done back then. I was lucky enough to be a teen when this came out.
The best part about the ending making you want more is that they didn't actually intend to make a sequel. The To Be Continued was a time travel joke, basically. They pointed out once they did make sequels that if they were intending to keep going they wouldn't have put Jennifer in the car.
Not quite when they made the sequel, it was after the theater run for the home releases, after they had agreed to do the sequels. I misspoke a tad, but yeah, it wasn't in the theatrical run, but it was there for a good 3 years before 2 was released.
This movie is perfect, flaws and all! Which is impossible, but somehow BTTF still managed it. I watched the trilogy nonstop as a kid and I still unironically kind of want a Delorean. I hope Ninetails loves the trilogy and all its little details as you guys watch it! :D
I love how the judge who tells Marty his song is "just too darn loud" is the very artist who wrote the song, and everyone rails on him not realizing it's HIS tune!
Saw this when it came out, in the theaters. So amazing! People were just incredibly hyped. Was very excited when the 2nd one came out. Such a huge hit trilogy.
I was a senior in HS when I saw this movie in the theater. Wow, what a ride! IMHO, the is a much bigger difference between 1955 vs. 1985 than there is between 1985 vs. now. Technology, music, fashion, social norms, etc. The 60s and 70s were a renaissance of some sort.
I get chills MULTIPLE times during this movie - and I've seen it well over 10x. btw, Saw it in theaters, too, as a 5 year old. It was AMAZING to see this trilogy as they came out, on the big screen
I was in my early 20s during the era when these came out and I worked at Universal Studios driving a Security Car as my "day job" as a young actor.. It was pretty awesome because I got a lot of free time to explore the Studio and I had keys to almost everything! Courthouse Square where the Clock Tower is on the Backlot is where I used to spend a lot of my free time and eat my lunch because it was pretty cool and nice and peaceful between the Studio Tram runs. I had an absolute Blast working there and everytime I see these films it brings back a lot of good memories of my adventures at that studio.. You guys are a lot of fun to watch!
@@artsysabs I always say that job didn't pay a lot of money, but I had about $10 million worth of fun while I was there!! So, the books balanced out pretty well..
I love that this movie is getting a resurgence thanks to the musical, which I ADORE. I love the musical so much, in fact, that when I'm watching the movie now, I hear the songs at certain moments (such as "we're sending you BACK TO THE FUTURE!" leading into 🎵Future Boy).
I first saw this movie in the 90's when I was a kid on VHS and a fun production fact. They filmed the stuff in 1955 first and then for 1985 they basically vandalized the sets to show the area changing. If I'm right I believe the square set is actually still in Universal Studios and sometimes used for some quick scenes in tv shows or movies.
So glad your reacting to this. There's lots to love about this movie, but the music stands out to me! It's magical. Melts my heart at times too, especially the violin version when George is holding Lorraine's hand. 💖 Oh, and whoever acted Biff *slayed* LOL. I hated him, I wanted George to keep hitting him and for Lorraine to join in 😅
@@shesalilsapphicokay yeah I've heard he's very nice. For some reason it's fun to hear that "villains" are actually nice people irl but that shows how good at acting they are!
@@echowall5967 That's actor Tom Wilson. If you want to see something kind of funny that he did. Look up the joke song he made called, Stop asking me the question.
I'm so happy you're reacting to these movies they're so iconic !! The first one is probably one of my favourite movies ever and the 2nd and 3rd are so good as well ! Can't wait for you to see them ! Also, all the characters are iconic too and I love the dynamic between Marty and Doc they just give you so much energy when you watch them !
Paying attention to background details is important, so see how things change later in the movie. Like how Twin Pines Mall becomes Lone Pine Mall. Part 2 will also give hints to Part 3.
The Deloreon was a notoriously unreliable and underpowered. A stock Deloreon would be hard pressed to make it up to 88 without a lot of shaking (if at all), let alone one weighed down by aftermarket equipment. The starter being wonky represented the unreliable nature but it was part of the joke that Doc made a purely aesthetic choice. It's one of the reasons it seems like Marty is more confused it's a Delorean than it being a time machine.
@@adnap 🤣🤣🤣 well, there's no rule saying liking trivia makes you a good speller. Honestly, my predictive text constantly changes it from DeLorean to Deloreon and I got sick of fixing it. I should probably just use DMC-12 anyway, now that newer models seem imminent.
I love this movie - its writing is so inventive, everyone is hilarious, and it's just so clever. And every detail matters, which makes rewatching this even more fun. I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for reacting to it - your responses were SO FUNNY! You had me cracking up repeatedly. Especially when Ninetailedbrush said (about 1955): I take that back. We're on a whole other planet now. 🤣
Oh man the 80s gave us so many incredible movies. Super excited that you're doing all three of the Back to the future's - REALLY hope you'll keep going and do more from the 80's (like Heathers for example)
I first saw this film in a movie theater the year it came out. I was 29 and I knew of Fox and Lloyd, each of whom was famous in a TV sitcom at the time. Fox was in "Family Ties" as a conservative, young Republican capitalist Ronald Reagan supporter who lived with his parents (who had met in college as 1960s hippies, were still liberal, and often disagreed with their son about politics and social issues) and 2 sisters. Fox was still doing the sitcom when filming BTF, which stretched his schedule and tired him out to the point where he sometimes accidentally called his TV dad "Doc." Fox now heads a foundation for research of Parkinson's Disease, which, at age 62, he sadly has had for decades. He's married to Tracy Pollan, who had played his girlfriend on "Family Ties." Lloyd played a nutty, eccentric Doc-like cabbie on "Taxi," which was about a taxicab company and its passengers and various drivers, each of whom had a unique background and personality. Danny DeVito played the dispatcher. Lloyd is still active in his 80s. He was in a live-action segment of "Rick and Morty," the TV cartoon which I have just learned in my TH-cam surfing was inspired by "BTF." (At age 67 I'm culturally still kind of stuck in the 80s, which I miss. I was born in 1956 and also still vaguely remember 1950s-era cars, etc., from my early childhood. I developed a ""nostalgia" for the 1950s and early 60s after I saw "American Grafitti" in 1973. That might be a good movie to comment on sometime. I grew up in the 1970s, but never really got into the music my peers were listening to back then, especially not disco. I preferred the classic rock and roll of my parents'' time, which probably makes me weird, but I don't care. ) Anyway, it's good to see younger people's perspective on the 1980s and this truly classic movie. By the way, also on TH-cam there is a 2015 segment of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in which Doc and Marty. played by Lloyd and Fox, visit the talk show host on his stage, along with the DeLorean. I'd post a link to that, but TH-cam apparenly doesn't allow links to be posted in comments. (In retrospect, the first BTF sequel, SET partly in 2015 but actually filmed in 1989, unsurprisingly predicted much of 2015 inaccurately. DeLoreans were actual cars made in the 1980s. Manufactured by mogul John DeLorean, they were kind of a fad, very high-end expensive and didn't sell much.
This is a classic. Love your reaction. I always thought Crispin Glover who plays George McFly, was gorgeous. Even now he’s still a handsome man. Beautiful bone structure.
Fun Fact: The guy with the megaphone auditioning bands for the school dance that tells them “they are just too darn loud” is actually Huey Lewis from ‘Huey Lewis & The News” (famous band) and “Power of Love” is one of their songs ☺️
In the opening scene you noticed 3 portraits and couldn't identify the leftmost one. I could be mistaken, but I believe that is a portrait of Thomas Edison. Glad to see fresh perspectives on this series as Back to the Future was the first movie my parents ever showed to me, just after I started learning to talk. I've watched all 3 many times since then and I've always loved them.
This I think has to be my all time favourite movie, and it's superb in many ways, from the structure of the screenplay, to the casting, to the cinematography, and the mix of comedy, romance, and sci-fi.
Robert Zemeckis-the man responsible for Forrest Gump, Romancing the Stone, Cast Away, and so many other great films-said this is probably the best thing he's ever done. I agree. It's a perfect 10 of a film.
Ok, your Top Gun reaction was intriguing and interesting. Respect. Now it’s clear, you guys love good movies, not pretend or pretentious. Terrific fun revisiting with you and enjoying how you both react and question to the plot, with respect. Subscribed.
This movie is amazing, but god damn, everytime that reveal for the Toyota happens at the end I always find myself saying, Damn I want that. Also what's funny is the time machine was supposed to be a Ford Mustang originally, but they went with a Delorean because they thought Doc would be traveling in style.
Was able to see the new Back to the Future musical in London, all the stage actors nailed the particular acting of the movie cast! Especially funny was the actor for George McFly with his nerdy movements and laugh. The scene with the mom being thirsty for marty had backup singers ahhaha.
I only watched this back in the summer of 2018. I had just finished my junior year of high school so I was young and ignorant to the greatness of the past. I watched tons of 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s Classics on binge (the ones I hadn't already watched). This was one of my favorites from the 80s, between this and Ferris Bueller. Instant Classics. Those two movies epitomized the 1980s in film. I also like the Star Wars trilogy but I had seen that multiple times from my elementary school years. The Star Wars Trilogy, Back to the Future Trilogy and Ferris Bueller defined the 1980s and even tho I like the 2010s more since I came up with it, I respect the 80s so much. Not just the 80s but retro movies in general. I share deep respect in what brought us here. From Alfred Hitchcock to Steven Spielberg to Michael Bey. Without any of this, today's Classics would not be possible.
When the DeLorean came out of the trailer, that was the first time everyone on set had seen it. Michael J. Fox wasn't the first guy they had to play Marty, and when he gives Biff a right hook in the diner, that's the only shot of the original guy left. I can go on!
@@whitenoisereacts OK then: The DeLorean was originally going to be a fridge in the back of a truck, the original name for "Back to the Future" was "Space Man from Pluto." "Back to the Future" 's script was originally rejected more than 40 times, Einstein was originally going to be a chimpanzee, there was an animated series that saw Doc, Marty, and others go back in time, and there's even a Musical version that came out in the U.K. If you couldn't tell, I like this movie.
@@Zman1025 Originally they were going to have the time machince be a fridge. In order to get Marty back to the future, he was supposed to get into the fridge time machine at an atomic blasting site, during an atomic test, in order to get the 1.21 gigawatts they needed to power the time circuits. They cut out the whole fridge thing for many reasons, but one of those reasons was that they didn't want kids to go and try to hide in fridges because it was an "imitatable act." Spielberg actually makes homage to the original plan for the time vehicle in the 4th Indiana Jones movie where Indy escapes from an atomic blast by hiding in a lead-lined refrigerator, which then gets blasted to safety.
One thing I absolutely love about Christopher Lloyd is that he doesn’t know what the word “chill” means and you can immediately tell when he’s in a movie because of his voice and weird sounds even if you don’t see his face. I absolutely loved him as Uncle Fester in the Addams Family movies- which you need to watch if you haven’t. They’re such fun, dark movies and the dark jokes are delivered so well. Aljelica Houston is also probably the most iconic version of Morticia Addams in colour (no one could ever top Carolyn Jones).
@@whitenoisereacts agreed. He’s so much fun on screen! I really hope you guys get to watch the movies, they’re so good and the jokes still land. There’s actually even references to the original show which I immediately loved. Also, who doesn’t relate to Wednesday on some level lol.
He is also a very introverted person in real life and very soft spoken. But when he gets into his roles, he just sinks right into them without having to go full method acting.
The guy in the 3D Glasses is literally “3D” in the cast credits. He’s played by Casey Siezmasko, and he has done a lot of different roles. I recommend the movie, Three O’ Clock High. I watched that one only recently, and it was an instant classic for me.
Interesting question about how when Marty comes back to 1985, he’s in a different timeline, and there should be two of him there. That’s never explored. “Marty…what a nice name.” Then they name their first child Dave. Marty comes back to a family he didn’t grow up with and doesn’t know. Doc sets the timer to go off so Marty hits the wire at 10:04. Doc assumed that this meant that the lightning would hit the clock tower on the dot of 10:04. But there are 60 seconds in a minute. If the car hadn’t conked out and come back, Marty would have hit the wire 10 seconds too early.
@@hermeticallysealed1 if that’s true, what does Marty encounter when he gets there? A confident young dad? It makes no sense. But thanks for throwing in a gratuitous “literally”.
@@justmeeagainn which is why BTTF has become a paradox theory now. The loopholes doesn’t help the timeline but in terms of entertainment, it still stands out.
If you want to see more of Christopher Lloyd (Doc Brown) acting spacey, check out the TV series, "Taxi," wherein he plays drugged-out Rev. Jim, the taxi driver.
Some trivia for you guys: ~ There used to be an old cartoon called Fractured Fairy Tales with regular segments like Rocky & Bullwinkle. One of the segments was about a super-smart dog named Mr Peabody, who invented a time machine to teach his adopted human son Sherman about history. Old Man Peabody and his son Sherman (from this movie) are named in their honor. ~ Also, the mall is originally called Twin Pines Mall because of the two pine trees in front of Peabody's house - one of which Marty runs over (and kills) in his escape. When he gets back to 1985, it's now called Lone Pine Mall. ~ Another tiny detail is the ledge of the clock tower. When Marty is talking with Jennifer early in the movie, the ledge is intact; when Marty gets back to 1985 (also in 2015, in the sequel) the ledge is still broken from when it collapsed from Doc standing on it. ~ When Marty is auditioning to play at the prom, the guy who tells Marty he's "too darned loud" is actually Huey Lewis, who wrote and performed most of the songs from the movie - including the song Marty plays for the audition. ~ Loads of product placement by Pepsi in this franchise. During the Cola Wars of the 1980s, Coke and Pepsi had solidified diet sodas as "for women" - Pepsi Free was like the original Coke Zero; a sugar-free soda (using aspartame instead of saccharine) marketed as 'diet soda for guys'. ~ Eddie Van Halen was a popular guitarist of the 1980s whose shredding was commonly derided as 'alien noise' by fans of 1950s music - playing perfectly into Marty (as 'Darth Vader') using it to persuade George to ask Lorraine to the prom. ~ The song Marty plays at the 1955 prom, Johnny B Goode, was written by Chuck Barry (who Marvin Berry called on the phone) and debuted 06 November 1955.
When was the first time you saw this movie? In a theater? On you couch?
In bed LMAO. It woke me up more than I wanted it to at the time... this movie has such an exciting feeling about it. 😂
I saw this in a AC Theatere with 70mm Dolby projction.
My mum and dad rented it on VHS the week of home release we watched it on our TV with a fashionable wooden surround
Watch on tv I love the movie and the franchise also!
saw it in the theater with my mom and the tv marketing was a trailer that just showed the Delorean with heavy fog and Marty getting out of it...as a kid I had zero idea what the movie was about and thought my mother was taking me to a scary sci-fi movie. Instead, I had the time of my life.
Fox and Lloyd's chemistry really sells these movies. We simply don't question why a teenage skateboarder and an elderly scientist would hang out with seemingly no friends their own age, we just bought it.
Believe it or not, there was a time when young people could navigate the world around them without there being "predators around every corner". I for one am an old person who enjoys the company of young people, without it being predatory or inappropriate. However, conventional stereotypes in the media create a such a prevalence of fear, young people avoid old people, and both are diminished for it. We all have things to learn from each other. Blessed Bee.
What a great point! Never thought about it with this perspective
Believe it or not they met by Marty Sneaking in to Docs lab to for some parts for a amp…stealing and of course he was caught
I used to hang out with a much older guy. I had an old mind and he had a young one. Relationships like this do exist.
@@wbrownshadow how do you know that?
The actor who played Biff is actually the nicest guy. He was apologizing for treating people the way he had to.
Yeah he’s super cool!
Oh really?!
That's how it typically is. Good guys cast as bad guys and not so great people cast as the main character.
@@I_Ship_It I've never heard a single negative thing uttered about Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd.
I used to know his brother,just a regular guy who managed a Wendy’s in Philly. Looks just like him
4:10 the judge is Huey Lewis himself, ie. the singer who wrote and performs "The Power of Love" and "Back in Time". What's funny to me is that the cameo was so well done that many reactors are like, "what does that nerdy teacher know about music, just look at him" and it's literally his own song
A bit too new wave for my tastes
Love love love this cameo. I’ve mentioned it to some friends a few times and they had no idea
A bit of a twist that Huey Lewis has a condition that causes hearing impairment.
Huey Lewis cassettes were my first real music when I was 8. I was a big fan, not so much in my teens when being cool was more important than what you like, but now at the cusp of middle age, I'm back Huey Lewis and the News is great.
@@ethanlivemere1162 but when sports came out in '83 they really came into their own, commercially and artistically
"Another one of these damn kids jumped in front of my car!"
Seems like George isn't the only one that was peeping on Lorraine 🤣🤣
This is probably one of the few movies where a second time watch can still be as exciting as the first, noticing all the things that were missed the first time around.
Took me about 30 years to notice when the policeman asks for a permit, Doc pays him off! 😆
I love movies like that.
@@markvarley2962 Didn't notice that until now
or the 50th time you can notice something new.
I've seen this movie so many times and just watched this reaction and it was the first time I noticed the news paper clip in the beginning saying Dr. Brown's mansion was destroyed
41:21 "Will they remember Marty?"
Yes they would remember Marty, BUT based on my personal experience it is very probable that they WON'T remember his face!
When I was 47 years old (George and Lorraine's age in 1985) I couldn't remember the face of the girlfriend that I had back when I was 18 years old. So it is quite plausible that George and Lorraine would not remember the face of a kid that they knew for only a few days back 30 years ago.
Totally agreed. I'm 43 now. Now, remembering someone important I met for a week when I was 13? Or even 18. Hardly. I have trouble recollecting the exact face of my classmates, and I've been in school with them for years.
Also, when your see your kid grow up, you will never realise what he grows up to, you see his face day by day. You might, maybe, joke a little bit how he looks similar to somebody you used to know. But even those realisations usually only happen when you find and old family photos (oh, look, when he was a kid, grandpa Bill looked almost like your cousin Ted now).
Memory is a strange ability. It works tricks.
@@glowface79 yeah, specially since they don't have a photo of '55 Marty, they may even joke about what a funny coincidence it is they they named their son after this guy and he turned out to also kinda look like him
@@glowface79 It looks like I am the second Hungarian here. :D
Yeah I doubt Marty or Calvin made the yearbook in 1955 either lol
That's possible, but I remember the faces of most of the girls I had crushes on back in the day, then again I don't know that I would recognize them today if I saw them.
Such an iconic trilogy, the first movie is definitely my favourite. I love how Tom Wilson is a genuinely nice guy, and drew his experiences of playing Biff from BEING bullied himself.
Being a nice guy has reasonable limits, though, and Eric Stoltz almost found out what happens when you pass that limit due to his "method acting" behavior in the role of Marty becoming insufferably irritating during the original production. Before that could happen, the deal with MJF managed to be sorted out and they replaced Stoltz. Probably lucky for Eric that happened before Tom was completely fed up with him.
@@0okamino which still makes me glad that Eric Stoltz is not part of BTTF anymore. I could never find Marty likeable and BTTF iconic had it not been been for Michael J Fox’s natural humorous portrayal and his dynamics with Christopher Lloyd.
His "Questions" song, about questions everybody asks him about BttF, is freakin' hilarious.
@@gokaury I love that song!
I heard him talk about that at a Comic-Con! He was very nice and kind of spoke for Christopher Lloyd who was also there.
Fox did play the guitar, he had a lot of lessons to play Johnny B Goode, he was avid at skateboarding too but sadly come the sequel the Parkinsons was showing signs that made it harder for him to perform both
In another note, the judge who tells Marty he's 'too damn loud' near the start of the movie is in fact Huey Lewis, lead singer of Huey Lewis and the News who wrote the song he was playing
Coldplay had a concert in New York and Fox joined them on stage and played on TH-cam videos. Fox has also played at his Fox Foundation parties with TH-cam videos available to watch.
@@dannybob42
Wrong, dumbass. Parkinson's NEVER prevented him from doing anything in all three films, dipshit. Not sure where you got this FALSE info, but it isn't true at all, dumbass, but yes Michael did in fact play guitar and learned the song note for note.
He didn’t play the guitar or sing, tim may played the guitar and mark campbell sang
@@greigbutler4498 he did play it. There was literally a bts where he was playing the guitar.
Having grown up in the '50's, when I saw this movie when it first came out in '85, it was so fascinating to see how the movie got just about every nuance right about that era (and how the gradual changes we had missed had added up).
In the '50's, atomic warfare was simply a matter of time, when, not if. (Scary time to live then in that regard.) So the doc is imagining Marty is returning from the other side of this war - hence references to how the earth's gravity might have changed. Wearing a vest like Marty and yes, everyone would think you were in the Coast Guard.
The first presidential debate between Nixon and Kennedy was five years in the future and in '55, the power of tv was still so underestimated - and seeing "a tv studio in a unit" like a video camera would have been unbelievable. Even by '85, the idea of national politics being played out in front of network cameras was a radical change from '55.
In 1985, many people were in shock that a B movie actor like Reagan had been could become president. Jerry Lewis as vice president - Lewis played this annoying whiny goofy guy. Jack Benny's whole shtick revolved around him being tight about money.
Workers like gas station attendants did have to wear a uniform - a bow tie was the equivalent of the universal full tie but without dangling ends which could get tangled in moving machinery. There was no such thing as self-serve gas and when a car pulled into a chain service station like a Texaco, your car was fussed over by several people who rushed out to provide service (which is why gas stations were also called service stations).
You might notice that Lorraine actually preserves the social norms of '55 - she doesn't ask Marty to the dance, she asks HIM to ask HER (but still very forward and not the type of demure young lady she thought of herself when she remembered her teenage years).
By '85, there had been a wholesale abandonment of the the classic downtown of the '50's (some of it's vitality has come back although more has simply been torn down). In the '85 version of Hill Valley, the downtown had been given over to marginal businesses like a porn theater (later a church when Marty returned). Teenagers in '55 flocked to malt shops which in '85 housed a cardio class center (which normally does not need storefront windows). Other buildings were depicted as abandoned.
Finally in '55, the Civil Rights movement had just started (Brown v. Board of Education had only been decided the year before). The concept of actual full equality still lagged, even among many of the early supporters. In '55, the idea a black man could carry enough white votes to win in a non-black area was as unconceivable as being rich and having two televisions - or even wanting a second television, there not being that much programming yet. (However, the movie producers - and society in general - could not conceive in '85 a black man could become president, even though if Marty and Doc travelled ahead 30 years, that is exactly what they would have found.)
Thanks for all this insight!! As someone who didn't grow up in the 50s or the 80s I love hearing all this contrast and history. My favorite line in this movie is when Doc goes "Ronald Reagan? The ACTOR?" I knew Ronald Reagan as a president, I think this movie was when I learned he was an actor before that. It's also good to hear they got the 50s down right, it looks like it was a wonderful time to grow up in.
@@bookworm598 No, the '50's were not a wonderful time to live - some things were better, some worse. Living in any period, one rarely appreciates the time for some of the good things nor notices the bad things. If I could travel back to any time, I'd run to the nearest science fiction (like the great Isaac Asimov) and tell him all the things coming up and the knowledge we know that he ponders - like feathered dinosaurs being active, not sluggish, colorful, and killed by a 6-mile comet, all about DNA, or the internet which even the producers of this movie didn't see coming when they featured a visit to 2015).
But a lot would be infuriating such as how things we can't image as being important - who can sit at what lunch counter, or the front or rear of the bus, or the constant token black man in a movie whose only function to the story is to provide "comedic" relief by rolling his eyes at the first sign of danger. In the '50's, we lived with the "certain" knowledge a global nuclear war was in our future, we just didn't know when. Everyone smoked (they didn't get that right in this movie but say, watch the Godfather).
Sure, it would be nice to drive into a service station and be instantly attended to by half-a-dozen men but on the other hand, how would you like that to be your job, cleaning the windshields of every car? Many middle-class families had at least a maid/cook, but again, think of HER life, trying to balance her job with taking care of her own family. Many people's were low-paying enough so that other people could afford their labor.
-----
The most important thing I like to emphasize is that whatever time one lives in (or multiple time periods by us older), if you aren't a time traveler, you see so many customs as just natural and think they are universal throughout time. If the Lorraine of '55 could see ahead a few decades, she'd be shocked by thinking a girl could ask a boy out. The idea of premarital sex was so taboo at the time - it would be hard to get across to you how much so - but Victorians would be just as shocked as Lorraine - including her showing her legs or even talking out loud about how a boy was a "dream boat."
There are inscriptions from the ancient Greeks about how the younger generation was going to ruin. Every generation thinks their music is the best and the older people think the newest music is just ear-splitting noise. Thinks like this seem to stay the same.
Even now, if I look at pictures of life say c. 1960's - including photos of me back then - I can't understand how I didn't gag at the time making an effort to look that way. However, over time, what was fashionable becomes old-fashion and so-funny, then with more time, fashionably old and respectable in retrospect.
You know how you can tell this iconic movie is one of the best movies ever made? The fact that it’s still able to entertain and hook us after all these years. Seriously, IT. NEVER. GETS. OLD!
I've seen this movie hundreds of times and never caught the line where Marty points at the Doc in his radiation suit and says "Is that a Devo suit?" lol
Wow, how did I miss that too!?
This movie is still used today as a teaching tool in editing, story writing and pacing. A damn masterpiece that must remain untouched ❤❤
I first saw this film around 2010 when I bought a vhs copy from a church community yardsale.
Also I love the tiny attention to detail like when you first see the mall it is called Twin Pine Mall, but after Marty goes back in time and runs over one of the trees. You see when he goes back to the future it is now called Lone Pine Mall.
Because Marty ran over one of those young pines when he left the farm, and the old man yells "My Pine.....!!!"
@@jannorton5108 I already explained that in my first comment.
There is also new damage to the clocktower thanks to Doc
So Netflix has a special called, “The Movies That Made Us” talks about Back To The Future, Aliens, Forrest Gump, and etc.
In the Back To The Future one it talked about: a half-baked idea with two new filming graduates (Bob Zemeckis and Bob Gale), the movie was almost called “A Spaceman From Pluto” due to the production company official (who changed Marty’s mom’s name to his own wife’s name but it was kept in the movie), they had to fire the original Marty actor bec he was taking his role too seriously, and Michael J Fox had to film his iconic role in the “Family Ties” tv show during the day, and act in Back To The Future at night.
He was very sleep deprived and only slept during the trip it takes in the car to set to set, and he was originally very apologetic when his agent called him up after Back To The Future was released, but he found out that it was a Box Office Hit instead of a Box Office Flop.
The movie was thought to be a flop in test audiences, but it was mostly due to the fact that people thought Einstein died. After they learned that the dog was fine, their tone changed & they loved the movie.
The parking lot scene was actually shot at an LA mall parking lot, that is still open today.
Michael J Fox ruled the movie world for a certain period of time. He has the likeable personality that translates well at the box office. He had a great run there. He’s quite an extrodinary man. Life challenged him and he answered the bell. He’s an inspiration to us all. And hey, it’s a great movie.
you have to watch all three regardless of quality. the third is not as bad as you may think and it’s a continuous story thru all three movies
Ok cool!!!
The third one is the best, imho. Doc explores the occult science of Love! Mary Steenburgen was absolutely charming as Doc's soror mystica :)
They're all good! The 3rd is most different but it still fits in and works and is good. The first 2 are just very similar
@@anniethenonnymouse agreed but they definately needed the second on to enter the 3rd i believe
@@jamesbond99 I agree.
What is so weird is that going back 30 years today would be going to 1992. Which doesnt seem like that long ago, at least culturally. Like sure tech and stuff has changed since then but it doesnt seem so bizarre as the difference between the 50's and the 80's.
You could tell a damn joke in 1992.
Eh i wouldnt say that... as someone that was born late 70's, childhood in the 80's, a teen in the early 90's and with my 20's straddling the end of the 90's and early 00's... each decade was noticeably different from the next, my parents were from the 40's and my brothers were in the early 60's... So i had interaction with people and items, memories from all those decades.
The time now, is not as different as say the early 00's (there are some), but compared to the 90's its about as different in most ways as 85 was to 55. No internet (as we know it), no social media, no reality TV, no flat screens, CDs uncommon tapes still a thing, numerous music genres were new, CGI was in its infancy, PC's and consoles were just beginning their rise in popularity and the tech for them was rapidly beginning to advance compared to the decade prior. Cellphones were still a rare site, Clothing fashions and even language was quite different.
I miss the 90's so much...
I would have to totally agree - the changes between 1955 and '85 were profound on a different level than say '85 and 2015, or 1935 and '55. A major change was due to the rise of the personal automobile. In '55, it was just starting to affect things - teenagers getting their own cars rather than just being able to use the family auto meant things like fast-food, drive-in shopping, and malls outside the downtown (which drained the vitality of the downtown).
One of the best books I think on the subject is "The Geography of Nowhere" by James Kunstler, who starts off by explaining why "Who Famed Roger Rabbit?" is based on a true story (the collusion of auto-related companies to buy up and put out of business all the local privately-owned trolley car companies in favor of an automobile-based society.

The teacher who said Marty was too loud was the singer who performed the song “Power of Love” so with Marty performing that at the audition it’s ironic.
The guy who played Biff is actually a really nice guy and kept apologizing to Lea (the actress for Lorraine ) and kept making sure she still felt comfortable enough to continue the scene when they filmed the r@^* scene
Huey Lewis
He also said he was told that himself when he was first starting out.
Lorraine, not Marty 😏
@@adventuresinlaurenland edited it. Don’t know how I didn’t catch that. Guess my brain wanted to say Marty’s Mom but also wanted to end the sentence
Fun fact, at the band tryout the judge who speaks 'is' Huey Lewis, the guy who wrote and performed the song they were playing. :)
Michael J Fox does play guitar in this. He's even played with the band Coldplay on stage. Michael J Fox made fun movies to watch. I enjoyed Secrets of My Success and Doc Hollywood as well.
The song ," Johny be Good", that Marty plays,was made by Chuck Berry.The cousin that makes the phone call, Marvin Berry.
When Marty arrives to the mall it's named Twin Pines Mall, but after driving over old Peabody's pine, when returning to the mall, the name is Lone Pine Mall.
I remember watching this movie back in January of 2008 and instantly falling in love with this movie. Right away, it became my Number 1 Favorite Film of All Time, and it still is to this day.
Michael J. Fox was doing the TV show Family Ties at the same time he was filming this. For two months, 10:00 am - 6:00 pm rehearsing for Family Ties, then off to the Back to The Future set until 2:30 am
As I recall, there were stretches of time where Fox's character, Alex P. Keaton, was written out as being away at college or on a trip during the filming of these movies. Perhaps both are true?
@@anniethenonnymouse You might be right. It's been soooo long since I've seen Family Ties
The really ironic thing here is that almost no one nowadays even remembers or references Family Ties, but people consistently do with BttF.
@@gokaury A conservative young man raised by liberal suburban former-hippies. It was kinda ahead of its time! LoL

Wrong, dumbass. Fox said he only got three hours sleep, so your time doesn't add up at all. He got to the set of family ties way earlier than 10 am, fucking dumbass.

I hate that the young people don't know this. It's so funny seeing Huey dress like a geek and diss his own music. 😂
@@janleonard3101 I've seen dozens of reactions, and none of them have ever caught it 😔
I don’t know if you guys noticed, but at first they were at the TWIN PINES MALL, and when Marty comes back it’s LONE PINE MALL cause he ran over one of them when he traveled to the past.

to which I replied, "And in 1985, that's exactly what we thought of 1955!"
Geniuenly one of my favorite trilogies, I've watched it countless times and every time I do I still catch new things I didn't notice before.
It still shocks me when peeps are only watching this for the first time… it’s one of these movies that you assume everyone has watched lol !!! Such a great movie that I would happily watch over and over again for the rest of my life
Love Huey Lewis telling Marty that his music is too loud.
And the irony now is he went deaf for real 😳
He didn't go deaf, dumbass. He suffered hearing loss, there is a fucking difference, dipshit!
I saw this when it was first released in a drive-in theater. One of those old drive-in metal speakers latched on the window, moon and stars overhead, and the whole lot filled with cars. Magical stuff for an 8 year old.
This is definitely one of those movie series that I had to question myself on why I waited so long to watch them. Phenomenal movies that is worth rewatching over and over
There has never been a series of movies with as much rewatchability as these. Truly timeless.
Fun fact, at the talent show, the song they were playing was by Huey Lewis and the News. The judge that told them they were too darn loud was actually Huey Lewis. It was a nice treat for the fans at the time. It wasn’t something that you saw done back then. I was lucky enough to be a teen when this came out.
I love that!!
Excited for this🎉 It is my all time favourite trilogy. I have watched it many times over😅
The best part about the ending making you want more is that they didn't actually intend to make a sequel. The To Be Continued was a time travel joke, basically. They pointed out once they did make sequels that if they were intending to keep going they wouldn't have put Jennifer in the car.
To be continued was added on once they made the sequel. It wasn't there in the original cut
Star wars did the same thing with episode 4
Not quite when they made the sequel, it was after the theater run for the home releases, after they had agreed to do the sequels. I misspoke a tad, but yeah, it wasn't in the theatrical run, but it was there for a good 3 years before 2 was released.

Saw this when it came out, in the theaters. So amazing! People were just incredibly hyped. Was very excited when the 2nd one came out. Such a huge hit trilogy.
I was a senior in HS when I saw this movie in the theater. Wow, what a ride!
IMHO, the is a much bigger difference between 1955 vs. 1985 than there is between 1985 vs. now.
Technology, music, fashion, social norms, etc.
The 60s and 70s were a renaissance of some sort.
I get chills MULTIPLE times during this movie - and I've seen it well over 10x. btw, Saw it in theaters, too, as a 5 year old. It was AMAZING to see this trilogy as they came out, on the big screen
That's the Power of Frisson.
I was in my early 20s during the era when these came out and I worked at Universal Studios driving a Security Car as my "day job" as a young actor.. It was pretty awesome because I got a lot of free time to explore the Studio and I had keys to almost everything! Courthouse Square where the Clock Tower is on the Backlot is where I used to spend a lot of my free time and eat my lunch because it was pretty cool and nice and peaceful between the Studio Tram runs. I had an absolute Blast working there and everytime I see these films it brings back a lot of good memories of my adventures at that studio.. You guys are a lot of fun to watch!
That sounds fun!
@@artsysabs I always say that job didn't pay a lot of money, but I had about $10 million worth of fun while I was there!! So, the books balanced out pretty well..
I love that this movie is getting a resurgence thanks to the musical, which I ADORE. I love the musical so much, in fact, that when I'm watching the movie now, I hear the songs at certain moments (such as "we're sending you BACK TO THE FUTURE!" leading into 🎵Future Boy).

Like I said before, I still love this movie.
I work for a utility, and we say this all the time. Never gets old. 😂
I don't know how many times I've watched this movie and I just realized that one of the judges is Huey Lewis, lol.
I first saw this movie in the 90's when I was a kid on VHS and a fun production fact. They filmed the stuff in 1955 first and then for 1985 they basically vandalized the sets to show the area changing. If I'm right I believe the square set is actually still in Universal Studios and sometimes used for some quick scenes in tv shows or movies.
Hewy Lewis who is one of the judges at the beginning with glasses wrote and played the music Michael J. Fox played
“Make like a tree and leave” is the saying that Biff butchered. You looked confused.
So glad your reacting to this. There's lots to love about this movie, but the music stands out to me! It's magical. Melts my heart at times too, especially the violin version when George is holding Lorraine's hand. 💖
Oh, and whoever acted Biff *slayed* LOL. I hated him, I wanted George to keep hitting him and for Lorraine to join in 😅
The actor for Biff felt so bad while filming the r@*^ scene. He kept asking Lea if she was ok and if she wanted to continue filming

I didn’t catch the jail stripes on baby Joey’s clothes! That’s a good touch! 😂
I'm so happy you're reacting to these movies they're so iconic !! The first one is probably one of my favourite movies ever and the 2nd and 3rd are so good as well ! Can't wait for you to see them !
Also, all the characters are iconic too and I love the dynamic between Marty and Doc they just give you so much energy when you watch them !
Paying attention to background details is important, so see how things change later in the movie. Like how Twin Pines Mall becomes Lone Pine Mall. Part 2 will also give hints to Part 3.
The Deloreon was a notoriously unreliable and underpowered. A stock Deloreon would be hard pressed to make it up to 88 without a lot of shaking (if at all), let alone one weighed down by aftermarket equipment. The starter being wonky represented the unreliable nature but it was part of the joke that Doc made a purely aesthetic choice. It's one of the reasons it seems like Marty is more confused it's a Delorean than it being a time machine.
There is actually a new Deloreon coming out next year I think. EV. Looks pretty cool.
The new electric Delorean looks pretty cool.
*buys a DeLorean because he was a fan of the movie*
When baby hits 88 miles per hour you're gonna see some serious shit
*car falls apart at 88*
You certainly seem to know a lot about this car for someone who is getting the spelling wrong.
🙂
@@adnap 🤣🤣🤣 well, there's no rule saying liking trivia makes you a good speller.
Honestly, my predictive text constantly changes it from DeLorean to Deloreon and I got sick of fixing it. I should probably just use DMC-12 anyway, now that newer models seem imminent.
Glad you caught the reference to the father of Rock and Roll, Chuck Berry! A lot of the younger reactioners don't. 👍🏼
I loved this movie It makes me smile every time I watched it. This Trilogy is one of the best.
This movie is so tight that it's actually used as an example of a perfect script in a lot of screen writing classes.
Watching the entire trilogy is something of a rite of passage in our family. My dad jokingly refused to let my hubby marry me until he'd seen all 3.
I love this movie - its writing is so inventive, everyone is hilarious, and it's just so clever. And every detail matters, which makes rewatching this even more fun. I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for reacting to it - your responses were SO FUNNY! You had me cracking up repeatedly.
Especially when Ninetailedbrush said (about 1955): I take that back. We're on a whole other planet now. 🤣
Okay Ninetailedbrush had me laughing the entire video...I love this trilogy. Such a classic story. Can't wait to see y'all react to the other two!!
Oh man the 80s gave us so many incredible movies. Super excited that you're doing all three of the Back to the future's - REALLY hope you'll keep going and do more from the 80's (like Heathers for example)
Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, St. Elmo's Fire - so many movies!
@@deborahmarkley1891 Beverly Hills Cop, Lampoons Vacation, Police Academy, Indiana Jones, Ghostbusters, Gremlins, and many more!
I first saw this film in a movie theater the year it came out. I was 29 and I knew of Fox and Lloyd, each of whom was famous in a TV sitcom at the time. Fox was in "Family Ties" as a conservative, young Republican capitalist Ronald Reagan supporter who lived with his parents (who had met in college as 1960s hippies, were still liberal, and often disagreed with their son about politics and social issues) and 2 sisters. Fox was still doing the sitcom when filming BTF, which stretched his schedule and tired him out to the point where he sometimes accidentally called his TV dad "Doc." Fox now heads a foundation for research of Parkinson's Disease, which, at age 62, he sadly has had for decades. He's married to Tracy Pollan, who had played his girlfriend on "Family Ties." Lloyd played a nutty, eccentric Doc-like cabbie on "Taxi," which was about a taxicab company and its passengers and various drivers, each of whom had a unique background and personality. Danny DeVito played the dispatcher. Lloyd is still active in his 80s. He was in a live-action segment of "Rick and Morty," the TV cartoon which I have just learned in my TH-cam surfing was inspired by "BTF." (At age 67 I'm culturally still kind of stuck in the 80s, which I miss. I was born in 1956 and also still vaguely remember 1950s-era cars, etc., from my early childhood. I developed a ""nostalgia" for the 1950s and early 60s after I saw "American Grafitti" in 1973. That might be a good movie to comment on sometime. I grew up in the 1970s, but never really got into the music my peers were listening to back then, especially not disco. I preferred the classic rock and roll of my parents'' time, which probably makes me weird, but I don't care. ) Anyway, it's good to see younger people's perspective on the 1980s and this truly classic movie. By the way, also on TH-cam there is a 2015 segment of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in which Doc and Marty. played by Lloyd and Fox, visit the talk show host on his stage, along with the DeLorean. I'd post a link to that, but TH-cam apparenly doesn't allow links to be posted in comments. (In retrospect, the first BTF sequel, SET partly in 2015 but actually filmed in 1989, unsurprisingly predicted much of 2015 inaccurately. DeLoreans were actual cars made in the 1980s. Manufactured by mogul John DeLorean, they were kind of a fad, very high-end expensive and didn't sell much.
This is a classic. Love your reaction.
I always thought Crispin Glover who plays George McFly, was gorgeous. Even now he’s still a handsome man. Beautiful bone structure.
Fun Fact: The guy with the megaphone auditioning bands for the school dance that tells them “they are just too darn loud” is actually Huey Lewis from ‘Huey Lewis & The News” (famous band) and “Power of Love” is one of their songs ☺️
“Back in Time” was also a Huey Lewis & The News song 😁
In the opening scene you noticed 3 portraits and couldn't identify the leftmost one. I could be mistaken, but I believe that is a portrait of Thomas Edison. Glad to see fresh perspectives on this series as Back to the Future was the first movie my parents ever showed to me, just after I started learning to talk. I've watched all 3 many times since then and I've always loved them.
Nine years ago, Michael J. Fox and Christopher Loyd reprised their respective roles when they appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
This I think has to be my all time favourite movie, and it's superb in many ways, from the structure of the screenplay, to the casting, to the cinematography, and the mix of comedy, romance, and sci-fi.
Saw these all in the cinema when they came out. Michael J Fox was catapulted to stardom. It’s a great trilogy ❤
Robert Zemeckis-the man responsible for Forrest Gump, Romancing the Stone, Cast Away, and so many other great films-said this is probably the best thing he's ever done. I agree. It's a perfect 10 of a film.
The guy that says that the band is too darn loud is the Huey Lewis, the lead singer of the band that plays that song.
Ok, I figured it was some reference but I didn’t want to get it wrong lmao
Ok, your Top Gun reaction was intriguing and interesting. Respect.
Now it’s clear, you guys love good movies, not pretend or pretentious.
Terrific fun revisiting with you and enjoying how you both react and question to the plot, with respect.
Subscribed.
Thanks so much brother!! We really do! It’s a blast to get to do what we do for a living
The ending clock-tower/lightning strike/power cord scene is still suspenseful no matter how many times I've seen it.
This movie is amazing, but god damn, everytime that reveal for the Toyota happens at the end I always find myself saying, Damn I want that. Also what's funny is the time machine was supposed to be a Ford Mustang originally, but they went with a Delorean because they thought Doc would be traveling in style.
Calling a dance a rythmic ceremonial ritual sounds like something Spock (Star Trek) would say lmao 26:17
Probably one of the best movies of all time! Timeless classic!!!
Was able to see the new Back to the Future musical in London, all the stage actors nailed the particular acting of the movie cast! Especially funny was the actor for George McFly with his nerdy movements and laugh. The scene with the mom being thirsty for marty had backup singers ahhaha.
I just saw it today!!! The DeLorean as well is done so well on the stage!!
@@littlekawaiidragon ikr! Car race/chase scenes are now doable on stage!
I only watched this back in the summer of 2018. I had just finished my junior year of high school so I was young and ignorant to the greatness of the past. I watched tons of 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s Classics on binge (the ones I hadn't already watched). This was one of my favorites from the 80s, between this and Ferris Bueller. Instant Classics. Those two movies epitomized the 1980s in film. I also like the Star Wars trilogy but I had seen that multiple times from my elementary school years. The Star Wars Trilogy, Back to the Future Trilogy and Ferris Bueller defined the 1980s and even tho I like the 2010s more since I came up with it, I respect the 80s so much. Not just the 80s but retro movies in general. I share deep respect in what brought us here. From Alfred Hitchcock to Steven Spielberg to Michael Bey. Without any of this, today's Classics would not be possible.
Nicely Done You Guys ! 👍 Long time since I last saw this one…I’d forgotten how much fun it is 🤗
One of my favourite movies, still funny every time i watch it
I love Back to the Future.
Fun fact. The guy with the speaker that stops marty from playing and saying its too loud is the band singer thst sings the power of love
When the DeLorean came out of the trailer, that was the first time everyone on set had seen it. Michael J. Fox wasn't the first guy they had to play Marty, and when he gives Biff a right hook in the diner, that's the only shot of the original guy left. I can go on!
Go for it man!!
@@whitenoisereacts OK then:
The DeLorean was originally going to be a fridge in the back of a truck, the original name for "Back to the Future" was "Space Man from Pluto." "Back to the Future" 's script was originally rejected more than 40 times, Einstein was originally going to be a chimpanzee, there was an animated series that saw Doc, Marty, and others go back in time, and there's even a Musical version that came out in the U.K. If you couldn't tell, I like this movie.
@@Zman1025 Originally they were going to have the time machince be a fridge. In order to get Marty back to the future, he was supposed to get into the fridge time machine at an atomic blasting site, during an atomic test, in order to get the 1.21 gigawatts they needed to power the time circuits. They cut out the whole fridge thing for many reasons, but one of those reasons was that they didn't want kids to go and try to hide in fridges because it was an "imitatable act." Spielberg actually makes homage to the original plan for the time vehicle in the 4th Indiana Jones movie where Indy escapes from an atomic blast by hiding in a lead-lined refrigerator, which then gets blasted to safety.
The judge with the mega phone is Hewy lewis, the guy who wrote the song in real life IRL.
I love that they watched mother and daughter in two movies very close together 😂😊 Lorraine’s real life daughter Zoey in Zombieland 2
I saw it 10 times in the theater back in 1985 when it first came out. Still probably my favorite movie of all time.
One thing I absolutely love about Christopher Lloyd is that he doesn’t know what the word “chill” means and you can immediately tell when he’s in a movie because of his voice and weird sounds even if you don’t see his face. I absolutely loved him as Uncle Fester in the Addams Family movies- which you need to watch if you haven’t. They’re such fun, dark movies and the dark jokes are delivered so well. Aljelica Houston is also probably the most iconic version of Morticia Addams in colour (no one could ever top Carolyn Jones).
Yeah, he is such a master!! Would love to watch those movies
@@whitenoisereacts agreed. He’s so much fun on screen!
I really hope you guys get to watch the movies, they’re so good and the jokes still land. There’s actually even references to the original show which I immediately loved. Also, who doesn’t relate to Wednesday on some level lol.
He is also a very introverted person in real life and very soft spoken. But when he gets into his roles, he just sinks right into them without having to go full method acting.
The guy in the 3D Glasses is literally “3D” in the cast credits.
He’s played by Casey Siezmasko, and he has done a lot of different roles.
I recommend the movie, Three O’ Clock High.
I watched that one only recently, and it was an instant classic for me.
Interesting question about how when Marty comes back to 1985, he’s in a different timeline, and there should be two of him there. That’s never explored.
“Marty…what a nice name.” Then they name their first child Dave.
Marty comes back to a family he didn’t grow up with and doesn’t know.
Doc sets the timer to go off so Marty hits the wire at 10:04. Doc assumed that this meant that the lightning would hit the clock tower on the dot of 10:04. But there are 60 seconds in a minute. If the car hadn’t conked out and come back, Marty would have hit the wire 10 seconds too early.
He literally watched the new timeline variant go back to the past.
@@hermeticallysealed1 if that’s true, what does Marty encounter when he gets there? A confident young dad? It makes no sense. But thanks for throwing in a gratuitous “literally”.
@@justmeeagainn which is why BTTF has become a paradox theory now. The loopholes doesn’t help the timeline but in terms of entertainment, it still stands out.
@@justmeeagainn
Wrong,.dumbass. There is no evidence in the film that Marty lost specifically ten seconds.
Fun fact...
Christopher Llyod who plays Doc Brown also plays Uncle Fester in the Adams Family movies.😆
If you want to see more of Christopher Lloyd (Doc Brown) acting spacey, check out the TV series, "Taxi," wherein he plays drugged-out Rev. Jim, the taxi driver.
Some trivia for you guys:
~ There used to be an old cartoon called Fractured Fairy Tales with regular segments like Rocky & Bullwinkle. One of the segments was about a super-smart dog named Mr Peabody, who invented a time machine to teach his adopted human son Sherman about history. Old Man Peabody and his son Sherman (from this movie) are named in their honor.
~ Also, the mall is originally called Twin Pines Mall because of the two pine trees in front of Peabody's house - one of which Marty runs over (and kills) in his escape. When he gets back to 1985, it's now called Lone Pine Mall.
~ Another tiny detail is the ledge of the clock tower. When Marty is talking with Jennifer early in the movie, the ledge is intact; when Marty gets back to 1985 (also in 2015, in the sequel) the ledge is still broken from when it collapsed from Doc standing on it.
~ When Marty is auditioning to play at the prom, the guy who tells Marty he's "too darned loud" is actually Huey Lewis, who wrote and performed most of the songs from the movie - including the song Marty plays for the audition.
~ Loads of product placement by Pepsi in this franchise. During the Cola Wars of the 1980s, Coke and Pepsi had solidified diet sodas as "for women" - Pepsi Free was like the original Coke Zero; a sugar-free soda (using aspartame instead of saccharine) marketed as 'diet soda for guys'.
~ Eddie Van Halen was a popular guitarist of the 1980s whose shredding was commonly derided as 'alien noise' by fans of 1950s music - playing perfectly into Marty (as 'Darth Vader') using it to persuade George to ask Lorraine to the prom.
~ The song Marty plays at the 1955 prom, Johnny B Goode, was written by Chuck Barry (who Marvin Berry called on the phone) and debuted 06 November 1955.
As many times as I’ve seen this movie it’s always fun. Watching with these two made it even more fun, loved the reaction!
